Diggs Revol Dog Crate vs Impact Collapsible Dog Crate

Diggs Revol Dog Crate vs Impact Collapsible Dog Crate

Are you weighing up whether to buy the Revol dog crate or the Impact collapsible dog crate?

The Revol and Impact’s Collapsible Dog Crate are premium options within the dog crate market so I can understand why you might be hesitant about clicking buy.

You might be worried about making the wrong selection – if you’re spending so much on a dog crate, you’ll want to make the right choice for you and your dog.

In this article, I take a look at the Revol and the Impact Collapsible Crate and speak about the pros and cons of these premium dog crates.

So, with the introduction out of the way, let’s take a look at the Diggs Revol and the Impact Collapsible Dog Crate in closer detail.

Which Dog Crate Do We Recommend?

It’s a really tough choice between these two high-quality dog crates. You won’t go wrong if you go with either the Revol or Impact’s Collapsible Crate.

But if I had to pick, I would probably recommend Impact’s collapsible crate because it’s more durable, slightly more versatile and better priced.

I do like that Impact’s Collapsible Crate provides a sense of security, while it has a unique design that my wife and I felt really suited the interior of our home. We’ve even received compliments about the crate from family and friends who have come to visit. That’s never happened before!

Impact offer their crate in six different sizes from medium up to 3xl, while you can buy the Revol in small, medium, intermediate and large. So Impact have more options for pet owners, although they don’t offer their collapsible crate in a small.

The Revol has three different access points, including the garage-style door, which you can leave open to allow your dog to wander in and out at their leisure. However, Copper and Skye didn’t like the garage-style door. They were skittish when it was being opened and closed, and as a result, preferred Impact.

Some dog owners may find the Revol a more subtle addition to their home, with your dogs more visible inside the crate than the Impact. But Impact’s crate is more pleasing on the eye, partly because it doesn’t look like a traditional wire dog crate.

The price is a big factor and both brand’s have changed their pricing since we first reviewed these crates. The Revol has increased in price, while Impact have lowered the price of their collapsible crate.

The Revol starts at $599 for the small and goes up to $1149 for the large. Impact’s small collapsible crate is priced at $780, which is $19 cheaper than the medium Revol. The large costs $875 which is nearly $300 cheaper than the Diggs equivalent.

The Revol crate is the creation of the pet brand Diggs. It’s one of the most popular dog crates on the market, thanks to its versatility and ease of use.

The crate’s design was inspired by baby-industry standards, with a diamond-mesh pattern and solid, single metal frame to offer excellent support. The diamond-shaped mesh pattern ensures that your dog can’t fit their snout through the gaps and protects the teeth of dogs who like to chew.

Diggs claims that the Revol is easy to set up, transport, and store. In my experience, the crate meets the brief. I found it relatively simple to set up and even easier to break down, and the handle and wheels make the crate a breeze to move around the home.

There’s no shortage of access points – there’s the roof, side door and garage-style door. So it’s a great option for the car to give you access to all areas.

The Revol is a premium crate, so it carries a fairly hefty price tag – the small starts at $599 (previously $375), and the large goes up to $1149 ( was $675) – and that’s before you consider add-ons.

However, as someone who wasted a lot of money on cheap crates over the years, the Revol is an investment for life. It’s a durable crate that will stand the test of time but it does cost a serious chunk of change!

Impact’s Collapsible Dog Crate

The Impact Collapsible Crate has an eye-catching design with diamond-shaped rounded holes to provide ample air ventilation for your dog, whether they’re snoozing in their crate while you run your errands, they’re taking a break from over-excited visitors, or you’re taking them on your road trip in the trunk of the car.

The diamond shape prevents dogs from seeking their teeth into the holes so there’s a big element of safety with the design as well as practicability.

It’s simple to set up – it really does take a mere 60 seconds, as advertised on their website. It’s just as easy to collapse the crate and take it away using the military-grade handles. Naturally, you’ll get even quicker with more practice.

Impact has used reinforced aluminum to withstand overzealous dogs who might like to paw at their crate and ensure your dog’s safety should you be involved in any accidents (I noticed one incredible testimonial on their website about an Impact crate surviving a car crash).

Impact provides premium crates, and they carry a premium price, but this pet product company offers a lifetime guarantee should any parts prove faulty (note: their collapsible dog crate doesn’t have a dog damage guarantee, but their high anxiety crate does, check out my review of that crate).

Their smallest Collapsible crate starts at $780 (reduced from $999), and the large Collapsible crate has a price tag of $875 (down from $1,199). However, our followers and readers can get a discount of 15% off their first dog crate from Impact when they use coupon code “KleeKai” at the checkout.

Finishing Up

We’ve reached the end of our Revol versus Impact’s Collapsible Crate comparison article. These are two of the best dog crates available on the market for pet parents who want to invest in a high-quality crate for the long term.

I don’t think you’ll go wrong by selecting either the Revol or the Impact crate based on my experience using them and reading the reviews of other pet owners. But ultimately, I’d recommend Impact’s Collapsible dog crate.

You should weigh up factors such as the intended use of the crate, where you’re going to put it, and whether you want flexibility of access or you want extreme durability.

I’ve got both of these crates in my home, and I love them both – but if I had to reluctantly decide between the two, I’d go for the Revol.
