The flap makes a loud buzz when it unlocks. My cat is timid so I was afraid the buzz might scare him. So before installing the flap, I put batteries in it, held it near kitty, and locked and unlocked it several times until kitty was used to the buzzing. Then I installed it into my door. My cat had no problems learning to use it and the buzz doesn't bother him.

I had opened the frame of the flap to see how it works. It has a motor which turns some gears and moves a bolt up and down, locking and unlocking the flap. The gears are plastic and fit loosely. If the gears were tighter and/or the motor were run slower I think the flap would be quieter.

Programming the flap is not intuitive. I need to review the manual when I need to reprogram the flap.

We have been using the flap for 9 months and have had no other problems so far. Overall we're very satisfied with it.

Pros: kitty enjoys using it

Cons: loud buzz when unlocking, difficult to program
