Best Garage Door Openers of 2026

"I had a great experience with this opener. Installing it was straightforward, and the instructions were clear. I appreciate that customer support was super responsive and helpful when my unit broke under warranty. They sent me a new power head quickly, only charging for shipping. Even though it failed within two years, the warranty and support made up for it. The opener is powerful enough for my large, heavy door and runs smoothly and quietly. The wireless fob works from a long distance, which is very convenient."

"I put this on a neglected 12' x 12' commercial fiberglass door, and the opener itself mounted in about ten minutes. Setting up the safety beams took longer, but it wasn't hard. The unit is impressively quiet—the door is now the loud part! Programming the limits was easy, and I like the wireless wall button. The only minor issues are that the opener is a bit slow and the manual emergency release is stiff. Also, the transformer gets warm and sometimes buzzes, but it hasn't affected performance."

"This opener is fantastic and easy to install. My 10' x 14' insulated door posed no problem for it. The operation is very smooth, and everything I needed was included. The remotes synced perfectly, and the opener is worth every penny. If I had more garage doors, I’d buy another without hesitation."

"I've only had this opener for a few days, but I’m already impressed. Installing it was a breeze with the BILT app’s 3D step-by-step guidance, and I barely needed any paper instructions. The motor is so quiet, you barely notice it compared to the door itself. I love that I can control the garage remotely with MyQ and set up Amazon deliveries, plus the automatic light feature is really convenient. So far, I’m really enjoying it and highly recommend it."

"I use these openers on both my garage doors and have even installed them for customers. They’re super quiet, easy to set up, and look great. The app lets me open or close the doors from anywhere, which is amazing. The only thing to watch out for is the setup instructions—they’re not included in the box and programming can be confusing if you haven’t done it before. Still, I love these openers overall."

"I had this installed in my shop and it’s been fantastic. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, so setup was smooth. I’m especially impressed by how fast and quiet it runs, and the space-saving design allowed me to install a taller door than I expected. The app is intuitive and makes everything even easier. I’m extremely satisfied and would recommend this to anyone needing a high-quality opener."

"I had this opener professionally installed and the process took about two hours. The technician assisted me with setting up the myQ system and Honda Homelink, and I’ve found the performance to be smooth and exceptionally quiet. Everything has worked perfectly so far!"

"I replaced my old LiftMaster opener myself with this model, using the existing rails and chain. The instructions were available online and straightforward, and once I set the open/close range, it all worked smoothly. I also swapped out the wall button, sensors, and keypad without any trouble. The myQ app integration is a great feature, and installation was a breeze for a do-it-yourselfer like me."

"I bought this unit to replace a 15-year-old Chamberlain LiftMaster, and had a professional do the installation. It took just 30 minutes to swap in the new motor, wall controller, and keypad, while keeping my original rail and chain. The new opener is much quieter than my old one, and the myQ app is very handy for remote access. My only minor gripe is that the included rail is multi-piece and the chain is part steel thread, which seems less sturdy, but overall I'm very pleased with the upgrade."

"I replaced my old Genie opener with this model mainly for the battery backup and quieter performance. The installation was straightforward and the instructions were clear and color coded. I really appreciated that the outside keypad was included, saving me extra money. Programming remotes and syncing with my vehicle’s HomeLink was a breeze. If you’re looking for a reliable, quiet garage opener with battery backup, I’d definitely recommend this one."

"This unit is a great value—it’s California battery backup compliant, quiet, and works with my Chevy Homelink. Assembly wasn’t too difficult, and I liked that it comes with two remotes and a programmable keypad. The only minor downside was that the included wire for the sensors and wall switch was just enough for a short run, so you might need more if your setup requires it."

"After my old Overhead Door unit lasted 31 years, I chose this opener for its easy installation and battery backup. The instructions were good, and I could reuse some of my existing setup, which made things even easier. I had some trouble with the program button, but Genie customer support was excellent and sent me a new cover to fix the issue. I was happy enough to buy another for my second garage door."

"I was able to install two of these openers for my mom and saved her a significant amount of money compared to a professional quote. The instructions were clear, installation was straightforward, and the opener automatically recognized the old remote. It worked perfectly with the existing sensors and buttons. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the value and performance."

"After a lightning storm destroyed my previous opener, I replaced it with this model and it fit perfectly into the old setup. Installation was quick and easy, the included instructions were well-written, and the programming process was simple. The opener is smoother and quieter than my last one, and I appreciate that all the required hardware was included."

"While I found the opener to be impressively quiet, the installation and programming were much harder than I expected as a non-professional. The directions for setup were confusing to me, and I still have to hold down the button to operate the door. If you’re not experienced, be prepared for a learning curve."

"I replaced my previous opener with this model and have been impressed by its whisper-quiet performance and the convenience of the MyQ app. I love being able to check whether my garage is closed without needing to look at a camera feed, and integrating it with my Tesla was a breeze. The built-in camera offers excellent coverage of the entire garage, and the video storage subscription is reasonably priced for the peace of mind it brings. The only thing I wish was easier is adding older keypads, but overall, I highly recommend this opener."

"Installing this garage door opener was my first DIY experience, and although it took us about eight hours due to some unique challenges with our low ceiling, the step-by-step 3D instructions in the BiLT app made a huge difference. We had to get creative with mounting and sensor placement, but now that it's done, the opener is exceptionally quiet and the camera and app work seamlessly, provided you have strong Wi-Fi. We're thrilled with the result and just need to add a keypad for full convenience."

"The product works just as described, with handy features like automatic lights and a straightforward setup. I found it easy to recommend to others based on how well it performs in daily use."

"After moving into a new home, I was looking for a reliable and quiet garage door opener and chose Genie after considering other brands. The installation was straightforward, thanks to the color-coded parts bags, and the sensors are the most solid I've ever had—perfect for a busy household with kids and pets. The backup battery was a must-have for me and was simple to set up. I also appreciate the easy WiFi integration and responsive app. Overall, it's a solid upgrade and the quiet belt drive makes a big difference."

"Having spent years manually opening my heavy wood garage door, installing the Genie Stealth was a game changer. The powerful 1 1/4 HP motor handles my double door with ease, and the unit runs incredibly quietly. The BILT app made setup easy, and programming remotes and keypads was no trouble. The Aladdin Connect app works seamlessly too. My only minor gripe is that the wiring could be easier to distinguish, but overall, I’m very satisfied and would definitely recommend it for anyone wanting a strong and quiet opener at a reasonable price."

"Es un producto excelente, muy silencioso y fácil de instalar. La conexión a internet funciona perfectamente. El único inconveniente es que no pude encontrar extensiones de riel fácilmente y tuve que pedir una desde Estados Unidos, lo que incrementó el costo, pero el producto en sí es muy bueno."

"After my old opener died, I chose this direct drive Genie with WiFi and it’s honestly the best purchase I’ve made in years. At age 68, I found installation straightforward and fast, and the opener is noticeably quiet and smooth. The smartphone app is a fantastic addition—no more carrying remotes while I’m working outside. The only thing to plan for is needing an outlet nearby, but otherwise, it’s been flawless."

"I got this for my dad so he wouldn’t have to manually lift his shop door anymore. The installation was simple if you follow the steps, and the design fits perfectly for side mounting on large roll-back doors. The unit is incredibly quiet and lifts the door effortlessly. My only small gripe is the remote has a slight delay, but the WiFi app control makes up for it. I really wish I’d bought it sooner."

"This opener is whisper quiet and the app works great, but I’ve had ongoing trouble with the remotes losing their connection. The wall mount and app have no issues, but the remote pairing has been frustrating. Customer service was slow to respond, and even after replacing parts, the problem persists. The core features are solid, but the remote connectivity and support could be improved."

"I've had this garage door opener for several months and I'm impressed by how quiet and smooth it is compared to my old one. The installation process was simple and the price was right. So far, it has worked flawlessly, and it's honestly the quietest opener I've ever used."

"After seven months of daily use, I can say this smart WiFi opener has been a fantastic upgrade. The app is intuitive, lets me open and close the door remotely, and even sends me notifications. Installation took a few hours, but as someone handy with home projects, it wasn't difficult. I especially love the Siri integration and scheduling feature—makes my life much easier!"

"I highly recommend this product mainly for its straightforward installation and super quiet belt drive. The included manual and YouTube videos were helpful, although I spent a bit more time since I'm not very handy. I do wish the nails for wire mounting were better suited for wall panels, but that's a small detail. Overall, the performance is smooth and reliable."

"I replaced my old garage door opener with this Genie model and couldn't be happier. The installation was straightforward since my existing wiring was compatible, and I was impressed by how compact and quiet the motor is compared to my previous unit. The keypad remote was easy to program (though it took a couple of tries), and the instructions were impressively detailed and accurate. One small issue was the remotes arriving with some scuffs, but Genie's chat support quickly resolved it. Overall, I highly recommend this opener."

"Switching from a Craftsman to Genie turned out to be a great decision for me. The installation process was simple, and both the keypad and car remote programming were a breeze. What really stands out is how much quieter this opener is compared to my old one. Plus, the price made it an even better choice. I'm really glad I went with Genie."

"As a first-time installer, I initially found the directions overwhelming, but after going through them a few times, they became clear and helpful. The install required a bit of extra work since the beam length was different from my old unit, but the rest of the setup went smoothly. The unit is extremely quiet and feels solidly built. Programming the opener was slightly tricky due to the plastic cover on the buttons, but I managed. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the Genie opener."
