  • Garage door opener.
Style: Chain 500
Easy to install-in fact after getting new garage doors---got another
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2025 by Amazon Customer

  • Basic model, but does 100% of what's needed
Style: Chain 500
Had 2 Craftsman openers that were 22 years old, when one failed (gear shaft bearing broke). Decided to replace both, and could not be happier with choice of Genie models. Previous units were 1/2 HP, and new units are also 1/2 HP. More than enough oomph to lift single, 80 lbs doors each. When deciding between belt drive and chain drive, you need to also take into account noise sources from doors, tracks and rollers. If these are noisy, paying more for the quiet belt option is wasting money. These chain drive units are exceptionally quieter than the older chain models, that I don't know how much quieter they could get with belts. Installation was a breeze. Instructions exactly depicted steps involved in installing. Was able to reuse the ceiling mounting brackets and down-braces, although these units were shorter and narrower than Craftsman units, so the down-braces are slightly canted in and forward. Units do not come with outdoor keypads, which is a good thing (not needed). Installed MyQ sensors and app on cell phone to control from outside when necessary. Syncing sensors to openers was a breeze. Only anomaly during installation was that one of the obstruction sensors mounted near the floor kept flashing red, but after everything was finished, it corrected itself and works fine now. Was able to reuse the door mounting bracket and L-bar that hooks the trolley to the door, saving a little effort during install. Be careful when setting up and down travel limits; it is possible to drive the trolley into the opener when setting up limit (i.e. going for max opening height). All in all, clearly a 5 star winner. ... show more

  • Lousy
Style: Chain 500
Unit came with bad circuit board so it didn't work. I contacted Amazon and they directed me to Genie customer service. I told them it wasn't working just making clicking sound. They said it's the circuit board. So they sent a new circuit board a few days later and paid for the installation for my inconvenience. That saved me $250 that a garage door company wanted to charge. The unit works great and is the quietest garage door opener Ive ever had. ... show more

  • Very quiet, shorter than my last opener
Style: Chain 500
I replaced my last opener after the gear snapped of its axel. This unit was easy to assemble and I replaced my old unit in about two hours. Fortunately, I have angle iron and had some flexibility to where it's mounted. This is because it sits about a foot closer to the garage door than my prior unit. The only issue with this was the cord was too short to reach my existing outlet. I sovled this problem with a 6" extension cord. All "smart" garage doors are a unreliable, and will stop working with the company decides they are tired of running their cloud service. I use a raspberry pi to make my garage smart. It worked fine with the last opener and fine with this one too. It simply closes a relay to simulate pressing the garage button. ... show more

  • works as designed

I got this for my mother's house and it works great. It is not as loud as the old one we replaced. I recommend it. It comes with all the parts, including the remote key pad.

  • Doesn't work
Style: Chain 500
The opener does not work. There no power when the unit is plugged in. I will say it was easy to install. And I should have tested it before going through all installation. To be fair to Genie I bought it through a company "Price Right Products". Genie declined any support since it was not bought through them, and the vendor has failed to respond to replace the defective product. Let that be a warning to all; to go through Genie, not through disreputable 3rd parties. I will say that in the 23 years I've used Amazon this the first time I've had a problem. ... show more
