Quiet and space saver with a great APP that works well.

I am very happy with the purchase, but although installation is well described it is best to be aware that the tracks of the door are very likely to need adjusting to avoid rubbing of the "springs" that need to be installed at the bottom of the door. One should be comfortable with DIY ing. Tightening of the "collar" onto the door spring and the opener should be carefully accomplished (one full turn of the screws is noted on instructions, so carefully mark the screws to know when you have done…

Pros
  • Easy to install great instructions. Works great on a 12x12 insulated shop door.
Cons
  • Unaffordable for many homeowners

Dramatic Improvement

Granted my previous overhead opener dates back to 1997. This new opener is very very quiet and also fixed a major problem I had with the 1997 opener. The 1997 opener was installed OFF-Centered! Why? the installer apparently could not find a wood support behind the drywall for the opener. So they installed some feeble bracket allow the opener to be mounted off centered. This bracket would twist every time the opener would pull the door up, I am amazed the bracket survived from 1997. I was always

Pros
  • I'm satisfied with this product, does exactly what genie said it would.
Cons
  • Requires an additional unit for compatibility

WOW! Should have purchase sooner.

Replaced a Chamberlain WhisperQuiet belt drive with this and WOW, what a difference. You can barely hear the closure, no more bouncing, and I can stop the door at any position. I took my time installing and including running a new outlet took a total of a couple of hours. The only issue I ran into was getting the light to pair. For some reason, even though instructions say it is preprogrammed and will pair when powered up, it did not. So after a couple of failed attempts I just used the…

Pros
  • ‎UL 325 Compliant
Cons
  • Not mobile-friendly, as it only works with fixed wall mountings

Worst product nothing but problems

The company that installed this for me said it was the worst garage door opener on the market but they installed it anyway and said don’t call with problems he was right worked great for a week now it won’t close or function properly no warranty or returns don’t waste your money

Pros
  • Works great should have bought years ago
Cons
  • After only 2 years it stopped working. Installed competitor's brand.

Quiet, powerful, and perfect to keep overhead space open

Takes about 45 min to install. Super quiet and keeps the overhead space clear. Perfect for a car lift. Just be sure you have a plug within 6’.

Pros
  • Opener Systems
Cons
  • Sometimes raises or lowers the garage door abruptly

Easy install, looks great

I increased the size of a garage door from 8' to 10' so I had to replace the opener. I did both door openers so they so they matched. time consuming somewhat but they sound great and work great.

Pros
  • Very easy install , quiet, and sturdy
Cons
  • The backup battery requires regular replacement and maintenance

Easiest install ever

Very easy to install, powerful and quiet motor. Definitely will be replacing my other current ceiling mounts with this wall mount. Love the additional peace of mind with the automatic deadbolt

Pros
  • The opener works fine but the light kit will not operate. I need a replacement.
Cons
  • Has limited features compared to other garage door openers

Work great!: my feedback

I ordered two of these, and opted for the versions without WIFI, as I do not want or need to operate these from a cell phone. One was damaged when I opened the box, but Genie promptly sent me a replacement and a return shipping label for it. Otherwise, all went very well with the installation, and these things work great! Glad I went with them. I did decide to order a pair of the hard wire switches to mount inside at the two garage door frames. So I have the wireless controls at the walk door…

Pros
  • This opener is so much quieter than my old whisper drives. Love it.
Cons
  • Unable to work with all garage doors

Easy install for my opinion

Very easy install. Works great for no overhead clearance. Has cable slack detector which is a must on this style of opener.

Pros
  • Did exactly what I needed. Very quiet and easy to install.
Cons
  • Average quality build

Haven't installed yet.

I haven't installed yet due to conflicting instructions and the coupler provided. Critical measurements page says (B) distance from bearing plate and end of torsion bar shaft no less than 2 1/4 inches but the diagram on the same page says (B)=at least 4 inches. Representative told me that his computer screen says at least 2 1/2 inches. So, I guess the minimum required length is 2 1/2". The coupler bolts are installed in the flush with coupler internal bore position already. They are also pre…

Pros
  • ‎INCLUDES: (1) 3 Button Pre-programmed Remote, Battery Backup, Wireless Wall Console, , Automatic Door Lock
Cons
  • Consumes a significant amount of electricity

Best garage door opener

I needed an opener for a 10ft tall garage door. This was very easy to install and extremely quiet. Very happy with this purchase!

Pros
  • ‎6072H-B
Cons
  • May not be compatible with modern garage doors

Worth every penny: my feedback

Installed this opener in less than two hours. Instructions were clear and easy. Programming door for fully open and fully closed was very easy. I have a 12ft. X 12ft. door, it opens and closes with ease. Wall mount garage door openers are the way to go.

Pros
  • No noise at all
Cons
  • So loud, that it might cause disturbance

Easy to install on my review.

Did this myself in 2 hours on a new high lift door. Actual unit install took maybe. 5 mins. Super easy lol. I spent 90% of my time hiding wires.My only comment. Is is seems slightly weak / slow. It is a BIG heavy door, however it has a large pulley system + heavy spring. Time will tell! Hence the 4 star rating.

Pros
  • STRONG, COMPACT DESIGN: Compact design measuring 6.8 in. wide x 14.5 in. tall x 9 in. deep making the Genie wall mount garage door opener the smallest available, Proper installation requires a standard outlet within 6 ft. of the wall mount garage door opener
Cons
  • The product has a short lifespan

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…

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

Worse Garage Door for my opinion

This is the worse garage door I ever had! I called Technical Support and spoke to two technicians ( Jason and Caroline) the were incredibly Rood and disrespectful! I would not recommend this piece of "S” it’s terrible doesn’t work consistently! It stops in the middle, I have had two garage companies como out and check there advice take off wall and buy a new one, that is not Genie! What a waisted of money!

Pros
  • ‎1
Cons
  • Not weatherproof, so prone to damage when exposed to outdoor elements

Awesome Door Opener

This is the best garage door opener I've ever owned. Super quiet and powerful. I'm using it on a 10x10 metal door and it does it with ease. Super compact size and easy one man install. There is nothing to dislike about this product. Going to buy another for my other door.

Pros
  • Home garage
Cons
  • Limited warranty period

Poorly written instructions, violent shaking

The instructions are poorly written, and the page numbers seem to be from an older version of the instruction booklet. My unit flashed an error code, and the troubleshooting guide said to go to page 18 and 19 for advice on re-adjusting up/down limits. Page 18 and 19 have nothing to do with up/down limits. I then realized that the referenced page numbers in the troubleshooting section of the manual are completely wrong.Also, the motor causes the door to shake violently for the first few seconds…

Pros
  • SAFE-T-PULSE SYSTEM: Patent-pending system that provides internal tension monitoring of door cables with an electronic pulse during initial door travel.
Cons
  • Limited customer reviews on the product

This unit is super quiet.

All you hear is the door going up and coming down unlike the jerking and clattering of my old chain drive unit. Very easy install as well.

Pros
  • Take time to align the shaft collar/coupling as for the unit can wobble during operation.
Cons
  • The battery backup only lasts for a short period

Perfect so far. good for me

Installation was straightforward and problem free. My other jackshaft opener, on a double door, is a Liftmaster and was a more difficult install.Unit is quiet. Light is bright. Highly recommended over the ceiling mounts much easier installation.

Pros
  • Best opener I’ve ever had easy to install and program. Going to change my other openers
Cons
  • Known to have issues with the sensors
