Title: Works Great On Large Door
Review: Updated Review: It is now the end of July 2024. My Genie 6072 broke! This is disappointing. I didn't notice any "warning signs" prior to the failure. I used the remote to command the door open, it hesitated a bit, something inside popped, and that was the end of any movement one way or the other. I removed the two screws that allow access inside the power head. When I pulled the front panel off, a couple of large plastic chunks came out! This is a major piece of the internal drive shaft. After some further research on the Genie parts page, this part is not available as a repair part. That was interesting! Lucky for me, Genie has a 5 year warranty on parts! The "fix" apparently, is just to replace the entire powerhead. I contacted Genie Customer Support at their 800 number. It was about a two minute wait on the phone. When this nice lady came on the line, she got my info and told me they'd be sending out a new power head - free! All they asked for was the shipping fee ($18). She also sent an email so I could attach proof of purchase (my Amazon invoice worked for that) and a picture of the part. That's all there was to it! Frankly, pulling the old power head and installing a new one is going to be easier than trying to fit in a new part to the old power head anyway. As for the broken unit, she said, "Keep it. Use it for spare parts - whatever." So I'm sticking to my 5 star rating. Sure, it broke less than two years into use, but the warranty part is a whole free unit and the customer support was SO GOOD, I'm not going to complain! When the part arrives, I'll take an hour or so to swap them out and be back in business. It has been a terrific opener! I have several large overhead doors on one of my buildings. I wanted to automate at least one; got tired of giving all of them the old heave-ho to get them open. Not getting any younger! Anyway... I chose one of the 12H x 14W doors. The height and weight (280 lbs) pretty much ruled out any track and chain type drive. I reviewed a bunch of specs and decided the Genie should do the job. In short: it did! Installation was very straight forward and easy. The instructions provided are clear and well thought out. There's even a nice video that walks you thru it. This particular door needed some adjustment and the torsion springs had weakened. I decided to replace the springs (which I did myself and that went well - thanks, YouTube!) So after the clean, lube, springs, and adjustments, the door was easily liftable with one hand. BUT... I actually installed and tried the Genie before all the spring and door work. IT STILL LIFTED THE DOOR! Honestly, step 1 of the install is to make sure your door works smoothly FIRST. So needless to say, the Genie worked much smoother and quieter after all the door work. It's nice to have a 12ft door that will open all the way automatically. One caveat to my installation I'd like to point out: I own a scissor lift, so all the spring and opener work was much easier (and safer) than having to climb a ladder over and over across a 14ft wide door. I don't think I would have liked working that high on a ladder. I will say, though, if I had to install just the Genie on a tall ladder, it was easy enough that I could probably do it. The mounting is super simple; the unit slides onto the torsion bar and one lag screw secures it to the building frame. (Now running all that little beam break sensor wire over and down to each side would have been tedious on a ladder.) So overall, the Genie was easy to put in, seems plenty strong to do the job, and I may end up doing the other doors as well! Also, the wireless opener switch works great and the key fob opener works from like 50+ yards away. I can open this door from across the road at my other building! Cool! Too bad I don't have wi-fi at that building. It would be nice to be able to use that feature from my phone.

Title: Works well, quiet, good for DIYers
Review: I have been using Lift Master door openers for decades, but wall-mounted options are limited. After much research, I selected this Genie model over the others simply because of the design on the cable tensioner and because it does NOT have internet connectivity. The cable tensioner on the other openers seemed like a part that was designed to fail, so I am glad that Genie was able to design a better solution for this. Installation was pretty straight-forward for a DIYer, but does take a long time, so be prepared to spend 4-5 hours on this project. After the install, everything worked as expected. The bluetooth-only light is convenient, although it would be nice if the color temperature was adjustable. I also read that you can add on additional lights, but they don't seem to be widely available and are very expensive. I like the simple wall mount control (also bluetooth, but can be wired), but it is difficult to find in a dark garage because the marking light is not constantly on, so you have to wait for it to blink to find the button. My last nit-pick is that they only supplied one remote. Two remotes would have been better. This garage door opener is really, really quiet. The door itself makes more noise moving that the motor does! It is easy to program. The solenoid door lock is cool. It frees up a lot of ceiling space. Overall, I am really happy with this purchase and would recommend it.

Title: Quiet, smooth operation
Review: Way better than older ceiling mount models. Quiet operation is great and it smooth and reliable. Quite easy to fit as well as it just attaches to spring bar above door. Recommended.

Title: Great door opener
Review: I never cared for the noisy overhead chain drive opener I've had these past 22 years. While the old Genie still worked perfectly, when I saw this opener, I had to try it. This compact wall-mounted Genie opener was a breeze to install, maybe 15 minutes to attach it and bolt in place. 30 minutes to install the wall control (used Velcro Command strips), sensors, and light fixture. I did not install the cable hardware or lock (maybe later). Another 15 minutes to program and set the door limits and it was up and running. The opener is just a little larger than a shoe box, quiet, smooth, and powerful. It took another hour to dismantle the old overhead Genie and dispose of. Garage looks better without all the old hardware hanging from the ceiling above the car. All the old Genie remotes work with the new opener after re-programming. Highly recommended.

Title: Absolute worst product design ever. Beware.
Review: Disregard the online videos and reviews of this product, especially those from individuals who might be reluctant to lose free items from manufacturers. This product is extremely poorly designed. There's an alternative brand available at a similar price point that significantly outperforms this one. To begin with, the overall quality is subpar - the materials are cheap and not durable. The design is another major issue. The entire functionality of this opener hinges on the cable tensioners, which are of very low quality. They tend to bind, break, or will require replacement quickly, and seem unnecessary. A well-designed product wouldn't need such components, as evidenced by a competitor's model that operates without them. I spent countless hours trying to install it, struggling with these insignificant parts. When I finally managed to get it working, they bent and jammed, causing immense frustration. Moving on to the programming aspect, it's as effed as programming any Genie opener. If you've ever been frustrated to the point of wanting to run head first into your non working garage door, this product offers no improvement as far as programming. This product is a beyond a disappointment. I returned it and purchased the competitor's model, which I had up and running in less than an hour.

Review: Install was pretty straightforward. I like the automatic locking mechanism. A little slower than a standard above door opener. Easy to program extra remotes. I didn't install cable tensioners, they just bent when I raised the door

Customers say

Customers like the ease of installation, quiet operation, and functionality of the door closer. They mention the instructions are very straightforward, the opener works great, and it saves space. However, some customers are disappointed with its durability and disagree on the design and motion detection.
