Got it for my area gate

Lost one star because it was so difficult to open to get to the switches/battery. I removed the screw holding the two sides together, but I was really struggling to undo it. I don't know what the problem was, but I ended up prying it apart with a tiny screwdriver, resulting in a small nick in the plastic case. Otherwise it works great.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • So far so good

The remote doesn't work when it's closed

I followed the instructions to open the device and activate the battery. And if you open it and manually press the button - it works. But as soon as you close the case and screw it in, it stops working. I've added a few notes as suggested by other customers but nothing seems to help. If I don't like it, I would send it back.

Pros
  • Rugged design
Cons
  • Almost never

Programming is a breeze and works great!

Works great, easy to program and runs nearly 300 feet unimpeded from front door to bottom of driveway. I also bought an Allstar 9931 that didn't work at all and their support team refused to help when I contacted them. Definitely take them with you, you won't be disappointed! Not that it really matters either, but they came in black instead of brown in the photo, which actually looks better. I have an MM600 Estate opener.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Requires outlet

318MHz remote works perfectly

318MHz transmitter with DIP switch. Worked great for my 318mhz gate opener. Just no way 318 MXZOK, the second review. I have bought more Firefly bottle openers. The new ones work just as well as the old ones. They have a different shape and color than the ones shown. New black. The only issue I've had and not sure if it's an issue is that one unit had a very low range. Like I have to be within 5 feet for it to work. I took out the 12v battery and there is 10v. Replaced and all is good. Remember

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Contact seller

Allstar 9931T works well from 20+ feet

As instructed, I opened the remote and flipped 9 micro switches that matched my Allstar 9931R on the garage door. The numbering on the DIP switches was so SMALL that I read them upside down on the first try. (I even wore glasses!) When the remote didn't work, I checked the switches again and found my mistake. I reprogrammed the DIP switches to match them and while the case was still open I tested the remote and it worked great. I cut a small piece of bubble wrap (which the remote arrived in)…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No power

Works but not very

I bought this knife because of its small size - it fits easily in my pocket when I ride my bike. It works really well for opening the gate when I'm in the garage, although that's not exactly why people buy a garage door opener! It doesn't work so well when I try to open the door from the outside. It seems to have a very narrow sweet spot and it only works when I'm right in front of the door. It usually takes a few button presses for the door to open. It's ok for my purposes, though far from…

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Secret

Fits Mighty Mule Gate Opener Half Price

Fits Mighty Mule Gate Opener. I saw this opener mentioned that it would work with Mighty Mule so I bought it because it's about half the price of the Mighty Mule Opener. Seems to be better quality with a larger battery in a slightly smaller design. Programming was easy. I opened up both this and my current MM opener and set the Firefly switches to the same as the Mighty Mule. I found it useful to use the tip of a ballpoint pen to move the switches as they are tiny. Each switch (there are 10 of…

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
  • None

Works no more than 2 inches away from receiver.

I bought this for an Allister Type IIA garage door opener. Before purchasing I confirmed that my normally closed receiver has (9) 3-position dip switches, so it should work with that switch. After receiving the remote, I removed the receiver and arranged the remote's DIP switches to match those on the opener. I reinstalled the receiver and tried the remote control. NOTHING Removed receiver and checked DIP switches. Remote control reinstalled and held to the right of the receiver. Another…

Pros
  • Enjoy
Cons
  • Functionality

GTO fit - with 1 simple modification

I used this with my GTO/Mighty Mule Tor. I put it on a leash so it's easier for me to come and go when I'm walking my dog. I would like to give this product 5 stars - it works really well and is half the price of the GTO brand remote. But. I found that sometimes it just wouldn't work and I had to shake it a bit before it worked again. I finally understood what was going on: The battery "jumps up" on the positive pole. So when I shook him, he went back to work. As you can see from my photo I…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
