How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

4.0 out of 5 starsLots of bad reviews, but not a bad crate at all. required some ingenuity to make it safe for my boy
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2021
Lots of bad reviews on this being dangerous. Let’s be honest, blame is 50/50 here.

1. Pet owners, you cannot leave your dog unattended in a crate like this if he is not already crate trained. If your pet dies trying to escape the crate it is your fault.

2. The latches could possibly work loose with an upset dog trying to get out. There is a solution and it is cheap. After you add this to your cart, click the search bar and type “ranger bands”. Then buy them. You will use these to keep the crate latched. (See the photos in my review)

3. This crate isn’t made to house the 3 year old staffie mix you just found on the side road. It is made to keep a crate trained large strong dog or to crate train a puppy.

But if your dog is big, strong, and hasn’t been crate trained properly you will destroy the crate and injure himself in the process. It’s not the crates fault. It is your fault if this happens.

Now for the part about the one I received (this is my 3rd). Two have been perfect. The last one was damaged in shipping. That made assembly a terrible pain. But after straightening the bends it was fine. I am sure I could have contacted the seller or Amazon and had a new one shipped but it just wasn’t that important to me.

1.0 out of 5 starsOur puppy is dead
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2018
Our 11 week old German Shepard puppy was able to open the top latch and tried to get out of the top of this kennel. He was wedged in the cage so tightly that when he was found he was dead. We were gone less than 30 minutes. Our children are devastated. We are devestated. This kennel was suppose to be a safe place for our puppy. I hope no other family has to experience a tragedy like this.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Latch can open up allowing your dog to get out.
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2018
Size: 48-Inch w/ DividerStyle: Double DoorVerified Purchase
This is just like every other wire crate except for one thing and it's the most important thing! On EVERY kennel I have purchased the sliding lock was shaped like a sideways "L". You slide it over, then roll the bar down and the end of the "L" locks the "lock into place" holding the door closed. On this crate, it is a simple straight bar that you slide over. If your dog is the sort that will try to get out or starts barking and jumping at the door, (due to hearing someone outside), the latch can side open. Why modify a part that works to something that doesn't work. How much money do you save by leaving a 1" piece of round bar off? And here we have it again folks, the price goes up, quality goes down.

1.0 out of 5 stars THIS CRATE IS NOT SAFE!
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2016
Size: 42-Inch w/ DividerStyle: Double DoorVerified Purchase
I bought the 42-inch version of this crate mainly for the price and the included divider, but also because the product description assured me that it had "rounded corners". In other words, because I thought it would be safe for my lab puppy while allowing her to grow. Apparently "corners" only means corners. The ends of the crate's wires are not rounded. Recently my puppy cut her nose while in the crate. After a thorough inspection of the crate, I figured out why. The hinges on the two doors are made by folding the door's horizontal wires over the vertical wire at the crate's door opening. The ends of these horizontal wires have not been rounded or filed down, and these sharp end-points are inside the crate and can easily cut a dog's nose or paw -- especially on the crate's end door where the wires have only been folded over 180 degrees. In addition, a dog could catch her collar on one of these wires and choke (yes, I know, I know -- the instructions say not to put a dog in the crate with her collar on. But how many people read or heed that?) I guess you get what you pay for, but Amazon really should stop selling this crate until the problem is fixed (or state CLEARLY in the product description that there are sharp edges inside the crate. In the meantime I'm off to the pet store to find a SAFE crate. I don't know whether it's worth the hassle to try to return the one I have.

1.0 out of 5 stars UNSAFE and Sharp Edges on EVERY Wire End - Do NOT Buy or Use
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2018
Size: 24-Inch w/ DividerStyle: Double DoorVerified Purchase
I bought one of the double door 24" MidWest crates here on Amazon because of the high ratings. What a mistake.

The package arrived and was easy to open. It was fairly easy to put together. That was where the positives abruptly ended.

This product was poorly manufactured and appears to have had ZERO quality control. The ends of every wire were sharp and dangerous to touch. There is no way I'd put a puppy or dog in this thing. What if the puppy tried to chew on the edge (as puppies sometimes do)? He would cut up his tongue and require medical care. The edges were that sharp. I wish I was kidding. I don't know how or why this was even allowed to leave the MidWest factory.

Per the description on the main page: "Patented rounded corner clips greatly reduce possible sharp-points your dog's crate for a safer experience for you & your dog". What a load of lies that is. I would hate to think what a death trap this crate would be if it didn't have the "patented rounded corner clips". What a joke.

I didn't expect much for the price, but I didn't expect something that literally had razor sharp ends and finishes.

I'd recommend my fellow dog owners steer clear of MidWest crates because of this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware: smart puppies can escape
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2018
Size: 18-Inch w/ DividerStyle: Single DoorVerified Purchase
I was excited to use this crate because it's a downsize from the one a friend gave me, and I thought perhaps my pup needed a smaller space to feel more comfortable. On the contrary, she figured out how to unlatch the crate and open the door on the first day she'd used it--and it's a very unpleasant feeling coming home to find your crated puppy running freely through the house. I set up a camera to record her and stepped out for a moment; not even four minutes later she had managed to escape again.

The latch has a fairly prominent "handle" that a dog can slap through the space between the bars. If the dog hits it with enough force, the latch will lift up enough to allow the door to swing open. Once she did this the first time, the crate became utterly useless and unusable.

Cool Story
1.0 out of 5 stars Ouch, sharp edges cut my finger.
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2017
Size: 36-Inch w/ DividerStyle: Double DoorVerified Purchase
The black color was nice, but It cut my finger with one of its multiple sharp edges, when setting it up.
The door was kind of loose, and the locks require some fidgeting to get them to close.

Thinking it was maybe this one item, I went to Petco to check it out because they carry this brand in their shop, but it also had sharp edges.

I ended up ordering the Petco deluxe 2 door create online, which cost about the same. Although is not black but a weird gray camo it did not slice my fingers and it is a lot more stable.

1.0 out of 5 stars Freak accident, dogs mouth got lodged/trapped and could not pull lose from the bars
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2017
Size: 22-Inch w/ DividerStyle: Single DoorVerified Purchase
I've now tried two sizes of this crate and tonight was the final straw. I have a 6 pound toy poodle pupply (5 months old). I tried the 24" crate. Somehow my dogs paw got caught between the tray and the cage. Now tonight I had the worst scare on the 22" crate. Somehow my dog in biting the bards to get out on the side of the crate got her teeth stuck on two bars where her mouth was literally lodged inside of the vertical bars. She couldn't open her mouth wider to get her mouth out. It was very freakish. I heard severe screeching, I ran to the crate and her nose was between two bars and her mouth lodged/trapped on top of the bars. Imagine your mouth being trapped open at its widest and you are in pain and you can't pull lose. That is exactly what happened. It was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed with the now 3 dogs I have owned over 40+ years. I now need to research a crate that has much smaller width bars that criss cross like the airplane plastic travelers because I do not trust these crates after this nightmare I just went through.

1.0 out of 5 stars Chap and dangerous to your dog
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2018
Size: 42-Inch w/ DividerStyle: Double DoorVerified Purchase
I did not like anything about this crate. I purchased it in January 2018 had not opened it until several days ago. When I put it together I realized how cheaply made it was. But I was going on vacation and needed to use it. I put my dog in there last night and noticed that it was slightly bent at the bottom but not much. As in the setting and shipping it certainly didn’t have them in my possession. I heard the dog barking loudly last night and when I went to the garage Was half in and half out painting desperately trying to get his breath. He almost died last night in my arms. Do not buy this cheaply made crate if a 14-year-old Labrador retriever can chew through it you do not want it for your dog

1.0 out of 5 stars Really wanted to love this
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2017
Size: 36-Inch w/ DividerStyle: Double DoorVerified Purchase
We ordered this cage specifically to fit in our camper for our German shepherd to sleep in. She is an escape artist and was getting out of the plastic crate. We had a larger wire crate like this one that she couldn't escape but it didn't fit where we needed it so we ordered the smaller size in this brand. Everything is great..... Except the bottom latch was broken. You have to force it down and it won't stay down and she can plop it right open. So unfortunately we have to use reusable zip ties to keep her locked in while in use. I definitely don't recommend unless you get one with good latches. Update 5-19-2018 Our German shepherd has broken the welds in multiple spots and can just squeeze right out of her cage. Super flimsy for bigger dogs. We literally have this thing wired and bungee corded shut. Time for a new one!
