Review on Blue Garage Door Opener - Chamberlain C2405 C2405T Smart myQ App Controlled, Long-Lasting Chain Drive by Tone Hatton

Cheap/Poor Quality - Garage Doors, Openers & Parts

Handyman. It lasted 26 years. I would fix it, but they no longer make parts for it. It was necessary to buy this brand again just because of the quality of the product materials. But I bought the Chamberlain based on the reviews. Mistake. I don't think $200 more is going to buy it. Materials: cheap plastic, very thin metal, very thin wires, thin plastic bushings on major moving parts, light alloy and plastic main body. I tried tensioning the chain to the listed specs and the shackle holding it flexed under load before I reached the listed specs. When connecting the cable it kept breaking, when I bent it around the mounting screw the strength was a bit lighter than the weight. I ended up reusing my old opener brackets that attached to the wall and garage door because they were twice the thickness and much heavier. I was able to bend the new brackets with my fingers. I considered reusing the chain and rails because they were also much heavier and stronger but didn't fit. The door controller is a cheap thin plastic box with two wires. I'll be surprised if this knife lasts five years. Not to mention 26, like the master. My mistake was not sending it back after opening the first inspection of the item.

Pros
  • Built-in Bluetooth Technology: Reduces setup time and simplifies connection with the myQ app, other myQ devices and smart home solutions
Cons
  • Contact seller
