"My previous opener was about 15 years old, and while it lasted well, I decided it was time for an upgrade. This new opener is incredibly quiet and functions perfectly. I had it installed in just an hour and a half, and it has a great remote range, opening even from 300 feet away!"

"I really enjoy this garage door opener, but I did face a couple of challenges during installation.

Overall, it took me about 6-8 hours to install everything, but I’m happy with the unit now."

"I found the installation process straightforward despite initial worries. The directions seemed daunting at first, but after a few reads, they made sense. I had a 7 ft tall door, and while it was advertised as a direct replacement, I had to make a few adjustments. Overall, the programming steps were clear, but I had some difficulty with the buttons making contact. Despite this, I'm extremely satisfied with the quiet operation and overall value."

"Having replaced my old screw drive opener, I am thrilled with this chain drive unit. The installation was mostly plug-and-play, aside from needing to adjust the mounting slightly.

“After years of manually opening my garage, I decided to install the Genie Stealth garage door opener. Honestly, it was the best money ever spent! I have a heavy double garage wood door and opted for the 1 1/4 hp model. The installation was straightforward, taking about 2 hours. The BILT app instructions were super helpful, and setting everything up was a breeze. The backup battery works well, and the Aladdin Connect app is user-friendly. My only minor complaint was the difficulty identifying the wiring. Regardless, I'm thrilled that my garage door operates super quietly!”

“We decided to install a garage door opener alongside some maintenance on our door. I chose this one because of its high ratings and quiet operation, which was a requirement for my wife. We hired a professional for the job, and having the proper wiring made the installation much simpler. Now that it's all set up, it performs excellently and quietly. In fact, the door itself is the noisiest part! We only installed it a few weeks ago, but I'm already happy with the results and would recommend it to others.”

“I took on the installation myself and was pleased with how well everything went. The unit is very quiet and operates smoothly. However, I was a bit disappointed to find that the light bulbs required were a special LED design. I feel that since the opener was on the pricier side, they could have included the bulbs in the package. Nevertheless, I’ve registered the product and hope it lasts as long as my previous Craftsman, which served me for over 30 years. Thanks for the quick delivery!”

"I purchased this garage door opener to replace my 31-year-old unit. The installation was straightforward, taking about 3 hours.

After being so satisfied with the first, I bought a second one. The second installation was even easier, and the customer support was excellent when I had a minor issue."

"Having replaced an older Genie opener with this model, I was particularly drawn to the battery backup. The installation was simple, thanks to the color-coded instructions. However, I did need to make a small adjustment due to the rail being slightly shorter. Overall, the quiet operation of this chain drive has really impressed me, and I found the inclusion of an outside keypad to be a bonus."

"I rate the Genie model 7305 at 4 out of 5 stars. I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it is compared to my previous opener. The surge suppressor and battery backup are great features, although I haven't tested them yet. The installation instructions are decent, but if you're not a skilled DIY-er, consider hiring someone. I did run into some issues with programming my older vehicles, but overall, I'm satisfied with my choice."

"At the end of July 2024, my Genie 6072 broke, which was disappointing since there were no warning signs. After contacting customer support, they sent me a new power head for just the shipping fee. I was pleasantly surprised! The installation is straightforward, and I appreciate the free replacement under warranty. Overall, it's been a great opener for my large doors!"

"I switched to this Genie model after using Lift Master for years. The cable tensioner design is impressive and feels more reliable. Even though the installation took a while, I found it manageable. I love the quiet operation; the door itself is louder than the motor! My only complaint is that they only provided one remote; two would have been better."

"I bought this side-mounted opener to maximize overhead space for kayak storage. It was easy to install, and I've been using it for a year without issues. However, the cable keeper system can be a bit fiddly and makes a loud screeching noise, which is surprising given how quiet the unit is otherwise."

"I've installed several garage door openers before, so I found the installation fairly straightforward with the manual. Unfortunately, the built-in LED light didn’t work. After reaching out to Chamberlain customer support, they were very helpful and sent me a new light assembly. Once I connected the wires correctly, the issue was resolved. Overall, I love the opener; it's quiet and smooth. The MyQ app was easy to set up, but the light could be better positioned. I gave it 4 stars initially, but after adjusting the light, I increased it to 5 stars!"

"Replacing my old Craftsman unit was a breeze thanks to the BILT app, which provides 3D video instructions for every step. The new opener is much quieter with a powerful 3/4 HP motor. I recommend watching the video ahead of time. While I had some extra hardware to hang the unit, it would have been nice if they included it. Overall, it’s a great unit, and I can now monitor my garage door from my phone with the MyQ app!"

Plus, its space-saving design allowed me to install a taller door than I thought possible. I'm extremely satisfied and would highly recommend it!"

"This direct drive opener is incredible! It's virtually noiseless and was a breeze to install. I made sure to follow the manufacturer's requirements, and it was easier to install than removing my old opener. Although the documentation lacked specific installation instructions, I found a YouTube video and an app that guided me step by step. Overall, the unit performs very well, and the MyQ functionality is very convenient. I'm a very happy camper!"

"The garage door opener I replaced was from 1984, and I specifically wanted a wall-mounted model. I chose this one from Amazon due to good reviews and the included app. My dad helped me install it, although I could have managed alone. It's been about two weeks, and I'm super happy with its quiet operation. The app connects quickly, though I did encounter an issue with bolts loosening, which I fixed with some Loctite. Overall, I have no doubts about its longevity!"
