Review on Genie Battery Backup Model 6072H-B Wall Mounted Garage Door Opener, Black by Travis Carter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well, quiet, good for DIYers

I have been using Lift Master door openers for decades, but wall-mounted options are limited. After much research, I selected this Genie model over the others simply because of the design on the cable tensioner and because it does NOT have internet connectivity. The cable tensioner on the other openers seemed like a part that was designed to fail, so I am glad that Genie was able to design a better solution for this. Installation was pretty straight-forward for a DIYer, but does take a long time, so be prepared to spend 4-5 hours on this project. After the install, everything worked as expected. The bluetooth-only light is convenient, although it would be nice if the color temperature was adjustable. I also read that you can add on additional lights, but they don't seem to be widely available and are very expensive. I like the simple wall mount control (also bluetooth, but can be wired), but it is difficult to find in a dark garage because the marking light is not constantly on, so you have to wait for it to blink to find the button. My last nit-pick is that they only supplied one remote. Two remotes would have been better. This garage door opener is really, really quiet. The door itself makes more noise moving that the motor does! It is easy to program. The solenoid door lock is cool. It frees up a lot of ceiling space. Overall, I am really happy with this purchase and would recommend it.

Pros
  • Easy install and super quiet. Love it
Cons
  • Slow opening and closing speed
