Top button on the remote is poor and sometimes doesn’t even work.

Looks like the shaft assembly is not even replaceable!

Price

Got a deal, not too hard to install.

Genie does sell and extra surge suppressor ($13) which i highly recommend getting especially if you live in an area that is pro...  Read More

This one was pricey but is worth the extra cost!

These are about twice the cost of an overhead type, but wow, i will be buying this again for my other doors.

Shipping

Opener was delivered quickly and is exactly as described.

Completely honored the internal parts warranty and shipped a new unit with just a nominal shipping charge.

Took me 3 days to put in the adaptor and mount and program the unit.

Packaging/appearance

The screws are packed and sealed with the parts they are for.

Competitiveness

Genie does stock replacement components such as circuit boards and transformers and accessories such as additional hard wired w...  Read More

I picked the genie because it works for homelink, google, and alexa.

    I bought this opener to control a large 12ft wide 10ft tall and heavy door for my workshop

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    We have another building that has a traditional chamberlain opener installed so i briefly considered that brand but after reading the reviews and the product documentation im glad i didnt

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It was a pleasure to use but i did have two minor issues with it1 i had no experience with 34cable keepers34 and didnt understand their purpose and the manual doesnt really explain them they are springloaded levers installed at the bottom of the door that keep the cables from going slack and getting in the way when the door is being lowered

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This should really be 1234 not 1434

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The insulation remaining on the two wires makes them too large to fit into the receiving hole and 1434 of wire length does not protrude into the hole far enough for the 34gripper34 teeth to grab them

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Discovering this on a 8ft ladder while simultaneously pressing a screwdriver to release the gripper teeth and trying to insert wires upside down into a poorly illuminated receptacle that wont grip the wires is rather annoying

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I had to trim more insulation off the wires before they would insert correctly

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This 36page document is also very well written and illustrated but i did have one problem with it while setting the 34down34 and 34up34 limits for door travel
