Title: Good value
Review: My 20 year old opener died and I wasn't looking forward to installing a new unit. I checked into having one professionally installed. It was ridiculous how expensive the quotes were.So I ordered this opener and wrangled a friend into helping me. This definitely isn't a one person job. Just getting the chain lined up took two of us about 30 minutes.That being said, most of the installation was pretty straightforward. After installation I had a problem with the remote openers. I called the Genie Company for help. I talked to a very nice person who walked me through troubleshooting and correcting the problem.I was worried that a chaindrive opener would be louder than my previous belt drive. This chaindrive is actually quieter than the other one.If you are looking for an inexpensive opener this is a great unit.

Title: Worth the money
Review: Easy install. My husband and I did it in probably an hour and that was because we had to uninstall the old one. The hardest part was trying to program my vehicle to the new opener. Super quiet and all this time I thought it was my garage door that was so noisy nope it was the old opener.

Title: Works very well.......but?
Review: First off, I've installed a few garagw door openers over the years. In fact I installed the opener that this one replaced (back in 1982) so I do have a little experience. I also have some background in electronics, too. OK, this came promptly was was packaged extremely well. Very organized and hardware was in color coded bags. It was a pretty straight-forward install.... mechanically. But here's my main beef. Instructions said it cam with TWO spools of wire ( for the electric eye and wall mount) It said one was striped and one was white. However, it only came with ONE spool of double wire (it was enough) but there was NO color-coding. It was all white. When I intially wired it up, nothing worked. It specifies where the white and striped wires go on the powerhead, but gives no specs for the electric eyes! Nowhere is that mentioned in the instructions. So it was sort of trial and error, checking wires with a multi-meter. When I finally got the right combo, I had LED's lit on both electric eyes. Again, there was no mentione of that in the instructions. Neither was there any procedure for aiming them. Again, trial and error. Once the wiring was correct and the LED's lit, aiming was easy... but there is no mention of that in the instruction. The wire they DID provide was very, VERY thin, and easily broke off when trying to strip it. Fortunately, I had enough older wire left over (that WAS color-coded) to finish the job. Though I would have happily paid a few bucks extra for a decent gauge, color coded wire. I spent more time wiring it that I did with all the mechanical installation. It does work great though. Fairly quiet, and the programming is pretty straight-forward. And yes, I would buy it again.. but I'd spring for a decent coded wire.

Title: Smooth and quiet
Review: Great chain drive. Replaced a 20 yr old screw drive that would jam and quit working randomly. Perfect replacement easily adjustable limit settings and a powerful little preprogrammed remote. Used existing wiring and mounting pads. The suspended head unit required a different mounting as they had moved the anchor points perpendicular to the old mounting rails, otherwise would have been almost plug and play. It easily paired up with the built in transmitters in the car. Love it. Don’t need all the Alexa controls WiFi control etc. just basic quiet reliable opener.

Title: Works as expected.
Review: Instructions made this a simple DIY retrofit install. I have an older steel door. It’s operating perfectly.Easy to adjust, doesn’t make a huge amount of noise for being chain driven.Lights could be brighter. Several adjustments for speed.

Review: You might need an extra pair of hands to hang up unit, but overall assembly is pretty straight forward and easy. The only thing that is very sensitive and might keep unit from working are sensors. One little wire on lose side or sensors not lining up makes you want to pull your hair out why unit is not working. But if you take your time for the wiring of the sensors and make sure not to damage wires, they are on thin and flimsy side, your unit will work like a charm. Love the quietness of the chain, the lock, separate light function and in case of visitors the keypad outside. Not figured out how to program car remote with hand remote yet. Not sure if that is possible. Overall great unit for double garage door, more than enough power.

Review: It is super quiet and runs great. Time will tell. If it lasts as long as my 30 year old Craftsman then it's a great buy.
