My older belt drive Genie started acting up and eventually stopped working. So I went for this chain drive opener. It was a fairly simple replacement with only one mounting bracket replacement. When I took down the belt drive system, I discovered that the problem was just the belt. I could have just replaced the belt. Alas, too late! The new opener works well and is quiet enough. I already had a separate MyQ to remotely open, close, and check the door. I would recommend getting an opener with MyQ built-in because I love having a smart garage door.

Easy to install. Had no issues. Much quieter than my old unit. I have a old solid panel door that is very heavy, but this Genie model has no problem lifting it. Great product for a great price.

Wow, terrific garage door opener, easy to install and very quiet. The Aladdin app works really well and it was easy to connect to my Internet.

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.

The install on this was pretty easy, but know that having two people for the actual install to the garage door makes it much easier. The instructions are on a large poster and are very easy to understand because they include detailed pictures. Programming the remotes and my car button was also simple. This is WAY quieter than my old opener - so quiet and smooth that my 20 something son mentioned it and he doesn't care about or notice things like that ever.

I did about 3 hours of research on multiple platforms before deciding to replace my worn out Liftmaster garage door openers. After finding this unit which is highly recommended, I bought two. It comes very well organized in a surprisingly small box. The 1/2 HP motor is about half the size of my 15 yo? 1/3 HP Liftmaster units. You get a full package to replace or install new. Since I was replacing my units, I didn't need the wires and a few random parts. Each Genie comes with two remotes and a keypad for outside. Install predictions are 2 people and 2 hours. I did it alone in about 3 1/2 hours each, but I was taking my time, being deliberate and enjoying music. The printed, videos and app are very easy to follow and helpful. I guess you can get as much instructions as you need individually. I only needed the foldout paper instructions. They are solid, quiet and look great! You can do this!

I purchased this garage door opener to replace a Stanley model from the 1990's which cracked the drive gear housing. Rather than buy the replacement part for $40 plus shipping, I chose to replace the whole unit and I am very glad I did. The install was fairly straightforward since I was replacing an existing system and the wiring was all compatible. First impression: The system is dainty and quiet. I would say the Genie motor housing is half as big as my old opener but my old opener was a big empty box of old tech so that makes sense. Keypad remote is a nice extra and straightforward to program. Took me two tries as I think it didn't register one of the digits in my pin so I had to reset it and start over which the instructions also covered. Install hiccups: (1) You are supposed to tension the chain until there is a 1/4" gap between the chain and the bottom of the rail. I couldn't get anywhere close to this tension without it binding hard so I chose to let it sag a bit lower. (2) The instructions are very accurate and actually pretty amazing and should be applauded. At one point, the instructions direct the user to carry out three steps to connect the chain bar to the motor housing but the first two are for chain drive and the latter is for belt drive. Not even close to a real issue but worthy of an edit in my opinion. (3) You are hereby warned to wear disposable gloves. The bar is absolutely covered in lubricant as is, of course, the chain. Again, you've been warned. So far: I can't stress how much quieter this unit is than my old opener. Sitting on a deck above the garage, we cannot hear it unless we listen for it (garage roof is concrete). No, it is not silent, but it is miles less obnoxious than old models of openers. Warranty: my remotes came scuffed and cut up. Genie was very responsive through their online chat support (phone support has unreasonably long wait times.) It seems that the metal visor clip which ships detached from the car remotes can get in front of the remote and slice into the plastic. Not a deal breaker but after spending a long time installing the opener and the keypad, the car remotes were the last thing I opened so ... oof. In all, I would highly recommend this opener.

Great product. Good value.

Tired of opening/closing single garage door by hand. Purchased this unit and installed. Instructions were accurate and easy to follow but I could not get the timing to work properly. Called CustomerService and recording said 1.5 hr wait but I could leave my number and they would call when I was next in que…. Exactly 1.5 hr I received a live phone call from a female and we went through every scenario possible. She was so so patient and thorough and once we had the correct timing she had me open and close the door several times to ensure it was accurate. A++ on Customer Service Genie!! TY

Had to return it because of missing parts. I couldn't exchange one for it because it didn't allow it for me. So I had to bring it to Amazon and wait a month for a FULL Refund. then I'm ordering it back again. And yes I highly recommend getting one.
