  • Dissapointment in my Variocage crate
I was very excited about getting my crash proof crate. Love everything about it except I can't get it to stop rattling. It is awful. I have tried everything to stop the noise. I even shortened it up a couple inches and nothing. I have made sure the side bars are covered and snug with those rubber things. I even went so far as riding in the back of my car while my husband drove to find out where it was coming from. I did locate it by adding pressure to the noise spot and it did stop but when I went to adjust it, nothing worked. Very sorry I purchased this. ... show more

  • Crash-tested, worth the HUGE hassle and cost for us
We did our research and knew going in that this was a big risk, cost-wise, assembly-wise, hassle-wise. That said our belief was that this would meet our needs the best out of the available options -- if it worked. But, if it turned out that the considerable hassle of assembly was too much for our skill level and bandwidth, we would also need to return it. For that reason, we waited for it to be available with amazon as the both the seller and shipper, rather than 4x4 (the american distributor) as the seller and amazon as the shipper. We had zero interest in "justifying" or begging for a return after putting in a few unsuccessful hours of blood sweat and tears. The absence of good assembly videos with good lighting and in English by the american distributor, 4x4, is nothing short of appalling and is a huge disrespect to US consumers. From the other reviews, consumers say that the distributor is friendly, responsive to phone call and emails, and will replace missing parts. That's great, but that is not the point. The point is about making it do-able -- PROACTIVELY -- for the consumer, and not waiting for a purchaser to even have to reach out in a state of frustration. Also, did it ever occur to them that some folks may be assembling this after business hours, and calling may not be convenient or possible? It sounds like they might know they are the only game in town, so why even put in the effort or cost of giving a few units away in exchange for some decent unpacking and assembly videos, or producing some videos themselves and then donating the finished crates to charity after the videos are done? The available official videos clearly were done in Europe, and not done in english, as there is no sound or narration, and the lighting is horrible, and the steps are done in different sequence than the written instructions. The written instructions, btw, are worse than the worst Ikea instructions. That's why many rely on youtube for Ikea assemblies, but guess what? No such helpful you tube videos for variocage. No wonder that the average consumers of this product haven't posted numerous assembly videos to youtube -- because the videos would contain cursing, tears, and broken marriages. Also, I recommend not assembling it near your dogs, as seeing Mommy and Daddy upset while putting together this loud contraption may not entice them to enter it later! Bottom line, this is currently the best we could find, and it will allow us to travel by car with less stress, and that's a good thing. The manufacturers and distributors clearly have their hearts and minds in the right place, despite their total brain farts around assembly videos. If you're handy, or you like super annoying projects to sink your teeth into, have some extra time, and don't mind risking the cost of sending it back to amazon (which I'm guessing would have been a couple hundred bucks in return shipping plus the nightmare of putting it all back in the box), then my guess is you'd have no issues. But, if you're just a layperson and don't like assembling things with unclear instructions, then have your tissues, your CBD gummies, and your marriage therapist on speed dial before ordering. ... show more

  • Prepare to aggravate yourself putting this together.
You think for $1300 you would get better written instructions. I think for that price the company can afford to have written instructions, in English, provided with the crate. Or at least a card that says go to our website for an instructional video.

  • Worth the hassle
I'm reading a lot of complaints about the difficulty of assembling, and yes, I'll give you that, but, I'm a little old lady, and I was able to do it myself, although it did take a few hours, between watching You Tube videos of the various sections. If you know that going in, and are patient enough to follow the instructions, the crate is worth it. ... show more

  • Assembly is difficult and final product is not worth the price.
We selected the VarioCage due to a friend’s recommendation. Had the rest of the cage been engineered like the door, it would laud highly. However, the rest of the cage is extremely hard to assemble and the quality of the design is severely lacking. Tabs and associated parts have to be wrestled into alignment and the adjustable bars are not well/designed for those cages that will be used at the outer limits of it’s “adjustability”. Once completed, it’s appearance looks “incomplete”. Edges are rolled to make some edges smooth yet the back looks like an Erector Set toy. The assembly instructions are a pitiful pictionary of what pieces go where, tiny rubber grommets are fitted into little holes that fall out during the assembly process, etc.. Guys, go back and design a cage worthy of the door you provide!!! ... show more

  • Fits well to car and dogs
Have 2 dogs (35 lb Keeshond and puppy Border Collie) and wanted a safer travel style. 2 full sized crates do not fit in my old car so we had to go more expensive. Putting the kennel together was not difficult. Took about an hour and went smoothly. (Disclaimer: We are 2 engineers so take that with a grain of salt.) There was some bent metal (mostly tabs) but wasn't difficult to bend back as the material wasn't past the elongation point. Would absolutely buy this kennel again. ... show more

  • Didn’t pass crash test
I bought one of these at a different site. It took forever to put together. They gave me a really hard time about returning it. There was a safety study done here in the US with a non profit called Center for Pet Safety. They teamed up with Subaru. The Variocage failed the test. I think it’s all marketing. ... show more

  • Finest Vehicle Dog Crate Period.
This is the finest vehicle dog crate we have ever seen. We travel over 30,000 miles a year with out dogs. They are always in crates or seatbelts. Hence, we saw this first class crash tested crate a good investment. I bit tricky to assemble because the instructions are drawings, and adjust for installation, but simply a fantastic product. Only wish it had a plastic bottom pan. Pricey but worth the money. The large fits our 2015 Toyota RAV-4 perfectly. ... show more
