Contender B

A crate designed like baby gear instead of a wire box — one-hand collapse, three access points, and mesh your dog can't get a jaw or paw stuck in.

Our verdict

The iCrate is the default for a reason: double doors, a divider for puppies, fold-flat portability, and a price that leaves budget for the bed that goes inside it. The Revol is what happens when someone redesigns the wire crate from scratch — single-hand collapse, a side hatch, rounded diamond mesh, and a ceiling hatch for puppy access — at several times the price. If the crate lives in one corner, buy the MidWest and never think about it again. If it moves around the house or travels weekly, the Revol's engineering earns its premium.

Pick the MidWest Homes for Pets if…

  • The crate stays put and price-to-function is the metric
  • You want the included divider panel for a growing puppy
  • Replacement pans and parts should be cheap and everywhere

Pick the Diggs if…

  • You collapse and move the crate often — the one-hand fold is genuinely great
  • The safety-focused mesh design and rounded edges appeal to you
  • It'll sit in the living room, and you'd like it to look like furniture
