Update: I've only had this for about a month, and it has stopped working completely. I can hear the locking mechanism click, when I turn it on, but it remains stuck in the unlocked position. I can manually lock and unlock it, but it is now effectively just a normal dog door and only the snow is keeping the cats from escaping through it.
When this works like it's supposed to, it's great, but at least once a day the locking mechanism just simply doesn't recognize the RFID tag and I have to either power cycle it or turn it to Unlocked and back to Active to reset it. The result is a dog trapped on one side of the door or the other, which is exactly what this was supposed to solve.
One issue I haven't seen mentioned here is the RFID fob itself. I've had the door two weeks and it's already indicating that the battery in the fob is low. A legitimate seller would make said battery replaceable, but there's no opening up the fob without basically destroying it in the process. This is, naturally, so that Ideal Pet Products can charge you $25 for a replacement of this $4 part.
Installation was easy, but you have to get it perfectly even or the brush around the flap will run into the side of the frame and keep the flap from closing all the way. I was able to get it to work by trimming back the brush with scissors, but now there are gaps around the flap that let cold air in.
The door is pretty flimsy (all plastic) and seems like it should be in the $40-50 range rather than $150. I got mine for $30 from Amazon Warehouse, but even at that price I'm having regrets. That every other electronic dog door on the market seems to have the same problems is small consolation.
