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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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 worried that one day the bracket would twist so much it would just break.Enough of the old stuff. This opener was very easy to install once I fixed up issues with the garage door itself: tube shaft needed to be shift to provide required space, garage door track needed to shift for clearance for cable tensioner.The opener itself is something one person can install by themselves. Other than some basic hand tools: socket wrench, open wrench, bullet level, screw driver. It's incredibly quiet, the only thing we hear now is the rollers rattling on the hinges as the door opens and closes. Love the Genie Aladdin Feature being able to open and close with the cell phone.It's the best thing ever, would not and will not ever go back to an overhead opener again as there are just too many parts associated with overhead openers.
