1.25 HPS Belt Drive Battery Backup Smartphone Ready Garage Door Opener with MyQ Technology

Bought the opener on 11/21/2016 and home depot could not get an installer to install until 11/29/2016 ( Ronson Door Sales & Home Depot Coon Rapids) . I wish now I had canceled because of the wait. The opener was installed in under an hour but stopped working within an hour of being installed. Called both Ronson Door Sales and Home Depot and neither got back to me until the next day and neither would take care of the opener not closing. I had no lights on for the sensors on either side and super slow opening. I had to hold the buttons down on switch to close. The installer would not assume an responsibly for the opener failing within hours of being installed and Home Depot just said call installer and after that call Chamberlain. I have stopped payment for opener and install. After 24 minutes of music with Chamberlain hanged up and waited, then called again and waited 19 minutes. Based on conversation with Chamberlain opener is not hooked up right and door might not be balanced. Just as I was starting to give up I saw a garage door company truck for Genie coming down. I flagged him down and he was short of time but quickly discovered a wire not hooked up correctly. He then witnessed the slow, speed of the opener and said the installer missed something or the motor is already going bad. Home Depot in Coon Rapids, MN and Ronson Doors still will not help. I will likely this weekend take it down by myself and return this super slow opener. I have yet to get the Wifi to work or my van and car remotes to work with this Chamberlain, will go back to Genie. This was the top model for Opener at Home Depot, piece of junk for the money. My screw drive Genie was ask quiet or quieter than this model. The opener takes 20 seconds to open my 7 ft door and 17 to close. My third garage with an old genie closes and opens in half that time.

My old screw-drive Genie gave up the ghost last month after many years of service, and went down to Home Depot on a Saturday morning to replace it. I was about to pick up a similar unit off the rack but got talking to the Home Depot guy in the aisle. He suggested that I consider this particular unit as one that was very popular (indeed - it was out of stock). Being a "gadget guy" I liked the internet connection feature, and decided to order it instead. I am so pleased with it. I thought it was a bit difficult to install, but that's probably just me. Now that I have lived with it for a month, I am totally impressed. The "features" that I thought were gimmicky are truly useful. The fact that the garage light comes on automatically when you come into the garage (and off when you leave) is very handy. I made a rule (on the app) that notifies me if the garage door is open between 10pm and 6am. No more worry about leaving the garage door open all night. Totally useful. And it is extremely quiet compared to my old unit. I love my new "smart" garage door. Thanks Home Depot!

Bought this opener to replace an old 1/2HP chain drive unit. My kids used to yell "Daddy is home" as soon as they heard the old opener. Now, they yell it when I open the door from the garage to the inside of the house because they can't hear the opener. I also knew I wanted a better opener because I was getting a new garage door. I had prices from garage door companies anywhere from $400 - $500 to install an opener with a fraction of the bells and whistles that this opener came with (i.e. MyQ technology and batter backup). I also bought the fancy Liftmaster bracket from Amazon (~$22) and it completed the installation and gave everything a great look for my future mancave.

I love this opener. The manual was clear enough. I assembled it in about 2 hours. Battery backup is a nice feature. The opener is very quiet and works smoothly.

Needed a new garage door opener for our new house. It's a 2 car garage and I have never installed nor do i know anything about garage doors. I knew I wanted a belt drive for noise and wanted something with good amount of HP for the motor. I saw the reviews for this unit and after reading some decided to go with this. Installation: This was the first time I installed a garage door and the instruction booklet did a great job of walking you step by step. It took me about 3-4 hours from start to finish. For step 4-5 they included an addendum FYI. Pretty much everything else was straight forward. I was missing 2 5/8 nut, locked washer, and bolts. Cost me about 2 bucks at home depot to get the missing parts. Extra's: I thought it was cool to have a battery back up in case the power is out. This is more so for the wife than me. I don't care about manually opening it up. We both like the motion sensor that automatically turns on the lights. With kids we find were running in and out getting stuff a lot. Key-less entry pad for outside which is a nice feature. Really simple to install and program. MyQ internet gateway. I love this feature. I get notification to my phone when the garage open and closes. Might not seem like a big deal but if your not sure if you closed the garage you can check the status of it. If you did forget just close it though your phone any where any time. Also if you have someone coming over to your place and your not there, no problem just open it up through the phone :) belt drive: After installation i had to tighten the tension bolt to make the belt tighter. After that i ran through the programming instructions. It is very very quiet, and i have no idea when it's opening or closing. This is another reason why i like to have the MyQ notify me of this. I took my wife out and opened the door and she could not believe how silent it was. The other feature i really like is at night I activate the lock feature. This makes it so none of the remote openers work. You can only open the garage from the hard wired switch. This just adds a little extra security for us. over all very pleased with what I got. I would 100% buy this again if i had the chance to.

Love this garage door opener. Bought my first one last March for my home. This I bought for my son's home. It is so quiet and I love the MyQ . I told the builder of my new home to not install the opener they had, I wanted this one and would pay separately to get this one.

I just finished installing 2 of these units to replace 20 year old chain drive craftsman. What a difference,they are super quiet and smooth. Installation was easy, instructions very through and easy to follow. I was able to install both units with rewiring and running new wire for sensors , which was the most time consuming in about 8 hours this included taking down the old.Quality is ok as with all new products not as good as the 20 year old product of yesteryear, like everything now a days. The MyQ is pretty cool as you can operate the doors from your phones and know the status of doors with alert being sent knowing when opened or closed. I am very pleased with product and the deal here is real good as it includes the internet gateway a $50 extra

When my 10 year old Genie screw drive model stopped working, I looked at fixing the opener instead of purchasing new. The motor was going to be way more than expected and I decided to look into getting a new one instead. I checked out the competitor blue store, and they had a similar style model for sale, but it was only 3/4 HP and did not include the MyQ package, which was a seperate item. Quick check of the home depot website showed that my local store had this model in stock, and even better yet, at a better price. I took everything out of the box and was a little apprehensive to try and install this myself, but I was able to assemble the unit with the instructions provided. I will say that the pictures in the instructions were a little difficult to follow, and the diagrams were very small and hard to read. It took me about 2 hours to get the whole system assembled. Thankfully, the rail system bolted directly into my old Genie systems rails and wall hanger, so the installation when quicker than expected. I got the entire system set up and installed, including all of the wires and adjusting, in about 5 hours. The system itself is absolutely amazing. It is so quite and so smooth compared to my old screw drive model. I was afraid there was something wrong with my door or the tension bars, but it turns out it was just the fact that the screw drive system is very violent. The MyQ system, while being slightly overkill, is pretty neat. No more will I get down the road and think "Did I remember to put the garage door down?". I can check it from my smartphone, and even let people in if I am not there at the house. I wish I would have bought this sooner, and for the money, was a great investment. Buy this from Home Depot, you wont regret it.

We purchased this unit to replace a chain drive gone bad. The cost was higher but it brought a lot of features. The MYQ technology is cool. I get a message every time someone opens the door when I am not home. It also allows me to open or close the door from anywhere. I have already used that when family showed up before we were home. I just opened the door from my phone. The battery backup is something we will never notice until the power is out and we are trying to get into the garage some rainy night. I hope we never need it, but it is there. Another feature that is great is the control pad. It alternates the time and temperature. It is something so easy yet now that we have it, I could not imagine not having it. The belt drive is the main reason for purchase. It is so quiet compared to the chain system. It is really needed when leaving early in the morning and not waking up everyone. All in all, we are very happy with the purchase!

we just moved into our home and our garage door opener started making some unusual noise because it was very old probably could have been fixed but I wanted a quieter one anyways so I was excited to be able to replace it with this awesome beltdrive .Its so smooth and quiet I don't believe you will find any quieter.our living room is adjacent to the garage and when you close the door the only thing you can here is the wheels of the door itself rolling on the rails .I did a lot of research and this is the one I chose for my family.easy to program if you have your garage open it has a motion detection that will activate the lights when someone starts to walk in,it also had one on the wall mount controller which can be set to turn on when it detects movement as well at it has the time and temperature on the display.I have mine hooked up to my WiFi which works flawlessly ,you can control your garage door from your phone and even set it to give you a notification every time its opened or closed.The wall mount controller also has a button to only turn the lights on the opener which is very handy.This opener is well worth the money and simple to install with minimum skill .I can't find anything I don't like about this opener and would deffinately buy another one just like it if I had another garage lol oh I also forgot to mention the wireless keyless entry I have mounted on the outside of my house another luxury that comes with this awesome Chamberlain opener .
