Reviews

This opener has great reviews from other homeowners and we have gathered some for you.

Functional and Fantastic

5 out of 5 stars.

I was very intrigued by this new technique of garage openers. I have multiple entertainment events in my garage and also limited storage options. I’m constantly moving stuff around my garage to entertain and open the space up. With this motor being attached to the wall and not hanging for the ceiling have have increased headroom and opened up available storage options that were not available before. Win/Win!

I will note that if your switching to this side mount opener ensure you have an electrical outlet within 4-5 feet from your install location and also the size of your garage door. It’s will accommodate most garage doors but if your door is custom you may want to check compatibility.+ Pros: BATTERY BACKUP, QUIET, STYLISH, WIFI CAPABLE- Cons: ELECTRICAL WORK✔ Yes, I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

Very Good Product

★★★★★ 5 out of 5 stars

After inspection product was a good quality and packaged well. Local garage door company installed the product for me. The installer showed up and commented on how great this opener was. The opener is very quite compared to older, chain driven operators. It freed up the ceiling space and I could have overhead storage rack. This should be mandatory in all new homes built. WiFi feature is good.Solves the problem of wondering whether you left the garage door open plus the added advantage of opening/closing garage door from your smart phone. Strongly recommend it is the future!+ Pros: PACKAGED WELL, STYLISH, WIFI CAPABLE✔ Yes, I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.
