Baby Products Reviews of Evenflo Soft And Wide Gate Taupe & Chocolate
Customer Review: DO NOT PURCHASE THIS 1 Stars
This gate is suppose to expand easily to 60 inches to fit large openings. It advertises that you can adjust it to with ease. It is suppose to be pressure-mounted. They say it is easy to move and will not damage door frames. It is all a lie. The gate is impossible to expand and/or make smaller. You CANNOT move it with ease once it is pressure mounted. And, when we tried to remove it from the wall - it left a hole the size of a tennis ball.It is a poorly constructed, horrible gate. Our gate was defective since it cannot be made longer or shorter. We have tried to get in touch with customer service to return the gate and no one has called us back. RUN - DO NOT WALK AWAY FROM THIS VENDOR - choose another gate!!!!
Customer Review: Great Gate!
Summary: 5 Stars
I like this gate for a few reasons.
1. The house we live in is British and we rent, so we needed a gate that offered strength and support and that also would not damage the plaster walls.
2. The tension spring is strong and the plastic cups on each end haven't marked up the walls at all.
3. The width of the hallway is a bit long and the gate is plenty long enough.
4. My daughter LOVES to press her face to the mesh and act silly but even if she tries to move the gate, it doesn't budge at all.
Over all, for value and convenience, this gate works very well.
The manufacturer does NOT recommend that this product be used at the top of stairs, and I can see why. So if that is what you need, this gate is NOT for you...
Customer Review: Evenflo Soft N Wide
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this gate to fit a wide space, which it does well for the price (~$30). I prefer the other gates I have used (metal, tension mounted, with a door in the gate), but for wide spaces, the metal type is expensive.
On the plus side, it says it fits openings up to 60" and I used it for a 61" doorway and have not had any problems. My very active 16 month old can't budge it. Price is also a plus.
On the negative side, the gate has a natural twist to it, due to it's construction, and has shifted a little on its own (It is no longer straight up and down on both sides). However, it is still firmly in place, and does the job. Also a negative, there is no door in it, but it is easy to step over, even for my wife who is 5'1".
Customer Review: Dog Gate
Summary: 5 Stars
Unlike most of the other reviewers I'm using two of these to control the movement of dogs in my house. My sister-in-law is living with us and has two dogs, one is a great dane, and I don't want them running all over the house for obvious reasons, including the fact that I have an older basset hound whose not interested in playing with her dogs.
This gate has been very effective, and I find it easy to use. It's easy to adjust the size of gate by just unscrewing rod ends. The gate is spring loaded so it's easy to fit into most opening, and with the soft rubber tips it won't damage your walls. Or you can do like I do, so I don't have to climb over them or take them in and out I opened them bigger then the opening and lean them in place.
Customer Review: Definitely for LOW TRAFFIC AREAS
Summary: 1 Stars
I should have realized something was up when I noticed that the box listed this item as being for low traffic areas. My husband put it together with little difficulty. When he showed me how it works--twisting the ends with your hands, I decided that this gate just wasn't going to work. It was difficult for me to turn the end pieces. You would have to undo both top pieces and then step over the mesh gate as it drops to the floor. There is no way you could do this while holding a small child in your arms. It was too tall for me to step over, so leaving it up all the time wasn't an option either. This went back into the box immediately and we are going to exchange it for another gate--one that will open and close easily.
