Not what is pictured!Jul 25, 2008
By cat owner
I had looked everywhere to find this crate in the older style model which the company changed about a year ago. The description when I ordered it said it had the stake tie down straps which is specifically what I wanted to secure crates on a rack in my van for travel to shows and the pictures showed the larger mesh window areas of the older model which provide better ventilation. What I got was the newer model which doesn't have tie down straps and has smaller mesh windows. The picture still shows the larger mesh window area and stake tie down straps, which is not what the newer model has. The description has now been changed to reflect the newer mode, but picture has not been changed. Amazon should make sure their pictures and description reflect exactly what they are selling!
This brand crate is well made and holds up well as I have three of the older model this size and two of a larger size model. I do not like the changes the company made to the newer version though being smaller mesh windows on sides and no tie down straps.

 Awesome Puppy Trainer!Oct 22, 2006
By Merryheart
We were skeptical of putting a teething yellow lab pup in a fabric crate, but when we saw this in a local store, we were impressed! Very sturdy and tight! Extemely well made.
We bought the E36, even though it was a little small for a full size labrador retriever, and we're glad we did. It's perfect for him now; he's 9 weeks old and he took to it like a den. He walks right in when he's tired. A few minor corrections about not mouthing it, along with a few great toys and rawhide chews, and he's been absolutely fine. He loves it.
It's surprisingly nice to be able to open the top as well. We can pick him right up and carry him outside after a nap.
I would recommend using a little softened bar soap on the zippers, because they're very tight. And of course, I can't recommend leaving a teething pup in it for long hours. Nor would you put an aggresive or vicious animal in this crate.
We keep it right in our bedroom and the zipper jingles when he scratches the door. We get up and lift him out and bring him to the door. Fabulous!
By the time he outgrows this crate, he probably won't need it, but I may have to buy him the larger one anyway just because he loves it!

Great quality crateAug 18, 2010
By Gumby
I just purchased 2 of these for my young cats so I would have something to take them to the vet in. They were delivered today and I can't believe the quality of this product. It is sturdy, well-designed and comes with step by step instructions protected in a plastic sleeve. The cats took to them right away. The designers thought of everything including a safety clip to ensure that the front flap stays zipped and Velcro patches so you can roll up the flap and keep it open so they can play in it. Our cats are 12 lbs and 13 lbs respectively, and they are just the right size for them.

Perfect bedroom "crate" for a puppyMay 19, 2011
By Kimberly
I bought this originally as a fat cat carrier, without realizing the bottom was soft (duh). But it got put to good use, we got an 8wk old yellow lab puppy that we didn't want to leave downstairs in the crate overnight(by himself). So we put this soft crate next to our bed for him to sleep. He loves it! We just put a towel in the bottom and a stuffed animal and he lies right down and goes to sleep. He never even whined! He does try to dig and chew a bit when he wakes up, but so far he has not been able to damage it. I think its just cozy enough that he is comfortable and the top opening is perfect for me to get him in and out. I'll be looking to get a larger size one when he outgrows this one! Highly recommend!

Incredible overall value!Dec 29, 2010
By Marcus Bearden
I recently adopted a 5 month old female German Shepherd / Doberman puppy and needed a crate to carry in the car or keep at the office, etc... I've got one of the Midwest metal crates (42") that works great - but it's tremendously heavy to move around frequently!
Insert the Firstrax Port-A-Crate (36"). I'd been considering the Noz2Noz crates but was afraid that she would tear the crate apart after seeing some of the pictures people had posted online. This crate was about half the cost of the N2N crate (I got this crate for $50 direct from Amazon) and seemed to fit the bill perfectly for a worthwhile "test" crate.
Pros:
-- Light weight (couple lbs max)
-- Great build / fabric quality
-- Easy to put up / break down
-- Sturdy buckles to keep folded / closed
-- Excellent ventilation without being too open like a metal crate
-- Top zips open for easy access for stubborn dogs / water bowls / etc...
-- Definitely gives the dog that "den" feeling
Cons:
-- Soft crate is easily destroyed by a determined / untrained dog
-- No removable layer on the bottom makes it difficult to clean if there are any "accidents"
Unlike some of the other reviewers, I didn't experience any funky smells when I opened it up.
Combine the light weight with the cost and build quality and this crate is a definite winner! My roommate bought one for his dog; it's a LOT more convenient than breaking down the metal crate for portability.
I gave it the 4 star rating primarily because of the difficulty in cleaning it. It there was a removable layer in the bottom (I suppose a crate mat would help) - that would make it 5 stars.
PS: The folded down crate makes a great impromptu barrier for dogs that want to go upstairs when they're not supposed to! :-)
