Midwest 42-Inch Double Door iCrate, for Large Breeds, 71-90 lbs

I bought this for my Maltese, and it’s been a great crate. It’s sturdy, easy to assemble, and works well as a safe place for my dog to relax. If you plan to use it as a lounge or resting area, I highly recommend buying a soft crate mat for extra comfort. One thing to keep in mind: if your dog is smart or knows how to work the latch, you may want to add an extra lock. My dog managed to escape twice before I added one! Other than that, it’s an excellent crate and has worked great for us. Highly recommend for small breeds.

Make sure you have plenty of room for this dog kennel, taking the measurements before you buy it is one thing, actually seeing it put together inside of the house is quite another! Our 3.5 month old great dane puppy was starting to look a bit cramped in an older 36" kennel we had. She still fit but looked very uncomfortable when she tried to stretch out and stand up. She looks so much more comfortable and has plenty of room to grow in this kennel. I read all of the horror stories about the condition people received their kennels in due to the size and weight so I was worried we would receive ours damaged too. Ours actually arrived in pretty good condition. The UPS man moved it around with a dolly and my husband wrestled it into the house. The box is huge and the kennel is very heavy. We sliced open the side and slid the kennel out. Everything is held together with white zip ties. A few of the panels were stuck together, but they were easy enough to unhook the side hooks from where they attached themselves. Putting this together was a bit of a chore, not because it was hard, but because it was big and bulky and there were two of us that insisted we knew what we were doing, so we argued over which way the panels should face, put them upside down a couple of times, then had to re-do them. This does come with a set of directions, but some of the pictures weren't really that clear. The picture on the outside of the box actually gives you a better idea on how this all fits together. There were a couple of places where the wires were bent and we had to straighten them out with a pair of pliers. Also one of the side wires had a broken weld where it connects at the top, it was next to one of the bent hooks (corner area) so it had probably been set down a bit too hard at some point during shipping. It doesn't seem like it will affect the kennel, and it doesn't show so I'm not going to worry about it. I'm not too pleased about the side door of this kennel though. The top slide bolt latch did not slide into the holder that was welded onto the side. The holder had been welded a tiny bit too low (quality control should have checked this), we had to bend the tip of the sliding pin down a little so it would be able to slide into the latch. The side door also seems a little stiff to open and close, as if it is misaligned. We can still open and close the door though, and once shut it is very secure. There were also a few areas we had to straighten out so the drop pins could connect the corners. Once this is put together it really is very sturdy. It is not flimsy at all, we are actually pleased at how sturdy this kennel looks and feels. The bottom pan slides in and out smoothly, and I won't worry about our dog spending time in the kennel while we are gone, or during the night. She loves the extra room and until she finishes growing she has plenty of room inside to sprawl out and play with all of her toys. The problem areas we found when this kennel first arrived were easy fixes, the completed kennel is large and strong. I checked around before I purchased this kennel and the price here was so much more reasonable than anywhere else, plus you get free delivery right to your house. If you have the room, and you have one of the giant breed dogs, then this kennel will be perfect. *Update 7/31/16- at 5.5 months old now our dane puppy is still growing. There is plenty of room in this kennel for her, her jumbo round Costco bed, and a stack of toys. She loves her crate! Our Aussie and the cats also love going inside to relax. Giant puppies can make giant messes, this crate is the perfect size for her and we are so happy that there is plenty of room inside for her to grow. No worries about her eating the couch while we are gone!

I purchased the 42" crate. I'm a 5'2" female and I was able to get it in my door and move it around the house, mainly by sliding it. It is a bulky size for me, a little heavy, but not bad. I was able to cut the tape around the box and unload it. It is very compact and the whole thing moves together. After reading the instructions a couple of times, I figured out how to put it together. It was really simple in the end. It is very sturdy, was not shaky at all. Unfortunately, my rescue dog, who was previously crate trained, did not want to go in it, or at least stay in it. She is a 50 lb. Chow Chow and she fit in it easily! She could turn around with plenty of room to spare. When she did go in it, it was very sturdy and did not shake or make any noise. But, probably because we give her the run of the house, she really didn't want to stay in it, so I let her roam. She really didn't use it, so I am returning it, and the return process is very easy!! Box it back up, and take to a UPS store, no label printing or anything. I would highly recommend this crate if you have a dog that likes to be crated. It is very sturdy, has two doors that are easy to open and close, and a crate divider. It doesn't make any shaking noise when the dog goes in or out. My dog doesn't like to be crated, so its a return for me and I am greatly appreciative of how easy that process was!

I already had a cage the same size as this one, but it honestly doesn't compare—the iCrate is much better quality. Versatility & Setup: I love that it has multiple doors, which gives you more options for how to set it up and where to place it. It was incredibly easy to put together, and the fact that it’s collapsible makes it perfect for storage or travel. Easy Cleaning: One of my favorite features is the bottom tray. It slides out so easily, making cleaning up any messes a breeze compared to other crates I've used. The Verdict: If you have a small breed, this is the one to get. It’s durable, convenient, and the double-door design is a total game changer!

Okay it's nicely made and easy to put together. The latch is secure and the handle is a plus. However, I got it for my 10 pound cat and THIS one is too big for my cat so I"m returning it and getting the XXS for the cat. It's heavier duty than I expected / and heavier. I'm happy with the quality and I'm sure the smaller cage will be perfect.

Love it ! Perfect for my puppy to be introduced to crate training. Easy to assemble and real sturdy. Nice thick frame. Lil Bear can't chew the frame. Dual doors, easy to lock and operate.

Gotta a house full of kittens. This does a nice job of keeping them all together. Mama goes in to feed them. It's very solid and sturdy. It's easy to put together.

As the owner of 6 dogs, I’ve gone through quite a few crates. This MidWest 42-inch iCrate for large breeds is excellent and I highly recommend it. What I like: • Sturdy double-door design with strong latches. • Folds flat for storage or travel. • Good size for larger dogs (71-90 lbs range). • Easy to set up and clean. It’s held up well in our busy multi-dog household. A reliable, practical choice.

Really pleased with this dog crate! It’s the perfect size for my Yorkshire Terrier puppy, and the divider is such a useful feature. I can make the space smaller for her now and easily remove it as she grows, so I won’t need to buy another crate. The crate itself is sturdy, lightweight, and feels like great quality. It’s also very easy to assemble, and I can easily carry it up and down the stairs, which is really handy. I love the thoughtful details too like rubber non-scratch feet to protect the floor and no sharp edges anywhere. Another nice bonus is that the instructions include helpful tips for crate training your dog, which is great if you’re new to it. I actually got mine through Amazon Resale as “used – like new”, and it was amazing value, honestly looks brand new. Overall, a fantastic crate, safe, practical, and great value for money. Highly recommend!

Magnifique !

Buen producto, se ve resistente
