Easy to Install - Good Directions

Installed myself, everything went well per the step by step directions. I was a little worried programming would require some time but they made it really idiot proof, reading how to do it took about 15 seconds.And I have a big (16ft) heavy door and this handles it fine, nice and quiet and smooth. Now if the thing holds up everything is good.

Pros
  • Chain was a little bit slow to put on.
Cons
  • The Genie 7055-KV Garage Door Opener has a very bulky and unattractive design, which can be an eyesore in your garage

solid, strong, easy to assemble

I have 16 ft x 8 ft solid wood sectional garage door that just made my old 1/2 hp worm drive opener rattle and groan, this 3/4 hp chain drive is quieter and smoother and opens the door with ease. It was fairly simple to install and program, an enthusiastic two thumbs up.

Pros
  • ‎Includes Genie Stealth 750 opener to open 7ft tall garage doors, one preprogrammed 3 button remote, a wireless keypad, battery backup, and installation instructions
Cons
  • The Genie 7055-KV Garage Door Opener may be quite heavy and difficult to install, which can be a problem for some homeowners

Decent unit best in my review

Took about two hours to install. I was able to use same mounts as old one which made it easier. Working great so far. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • I like the large instructions, they were really easy to follow
Cons
  • The opener has a limited range, which may make it difficult to open your garage door from a distance

Great purchase! - my new review

The opener is quiet! I have a double, insulated (heavy) metal door and there is almost no sound when the motor operates. The instructions are very easy to understand, all the parts are bagged in color-coded bags that match the color-coded instructions (use the green bag of parts for this step). The only drawback we found is with the battery backup. There are no instructions on how to attach it. It seemed like we did it correctly, but to confirm, we searched YouTube on the install of the battery

Pros
  • ‎Garage Door Opener
Cons
  • The device may not be very energy-efficient, which can result in high electricity bills

much quieter than expected but had to use the directions

was impressed by how quiet this opener is, however i dont think the wiring directions are correct and naturally had to use the directions on how to program and adjust the door down tension, other than that a few beers and about an hour it was up and running, i have a second door and will probably buy this again just because its quiet and now i know how to set it up, next one will only be a single beer project so i will make sure to bring home a 32oz one

Pros
  • This door opener is quiet and well worth the money! I haven't had to use the backup battery yet..
Cons
  • The price of the Genie 7055-KV Garage Door Opener is quite high and may not be affordable for some customers

Good Install with some modifications on Wayne-Dalton Door

1. Heavy duty chain for dependable operation.2. Easy to program for limits.3. Quickly and easily setup the HomeLink remotes built into my (2008 Cadillac CTS, 2015 Chrysler Town and country, 2013 Chrysler 200, and 2015 Cadillac ATS)4. Exterior code remote is well lite for nighttime operation and intuitive to operate.All remotes were already programmed for the opener.5. Battery backup installed in less than a minute and works wellCons:1. You have to run wires for the safety beam and wall switch…

Pros
  • ‎12 x 8.5 x 27.75 inches
Cons
  • The opener may be quite slow to open and close your garage door, which can be frustrating if you are in a hurry

Works as expected, directions could be better. Wish Genie would explain exactly how the product works - in detail such as the turnbuckle, principal of operation, beam sensors etc. Quieter than expected for a chain type. Wasn’t pleased with the wire included for the sensors and button - ridiculously thin wire. Went to big box and bought 500’ of 20/2 bell wire which you can s

Pros
  • Garage Doors, Openers & Parts
Cons
  • The device may not be very quiet, which can be disruptive if you have a living space adjacent to your garage

It opens the door, it closes the door and it's mostly quiet.

Replaced one of our 14 year old Genie screw drive with this. It's so much quieter even though the chain slaps the rail for the first few feet of opening the door. If I'd known about the chain slap, I'd have bought the belt version for a few bucks more but I figured the chain would last longer. but the chain is super cheap quality so there is that.There aren't any specs for speed that I could find on this model but it's faster than our screwdrive was. Noice.Setting close and open stop points was

Pros
  • ‎2 Bulb Lighting - 60 Watt equivalent each - Recommended use of Genie LED Garage Door Opener bulbs
Cons
  • The opener may make a lot of noise, which can be disruptive to people nearby or sleeping in your home

Good opener with options for price

This opener is very quite for being chain driven not like older chain drive models,(I hear more noise from the rollers than I do from chain if any). The remotes are programmed right out of the box and the opening and closing height are easily adjusted. The only issue I found is that the door (even with 8ft extension kit) hangs few inches below threshold and cannot go any higher and you can see bottom of door. I thought this may pose an issue for my passenger van but it doesn’t it clears just…

Pros
  • ‎Stealth 750 7055-KV with Battery Backup
Cons
  • The instructions provided for installation and use may not be clear or easy to follow

Easy to install super quite.

This opener goes beyond my expectations and it is extremely quite! The only thing I would have done differently would be to install a wire for electronic eyes thru the main support tube as the sections are being assembled. The instructions say to run the wire on top of the ceiling, but my old wire ran along top of the opener slider-rail, because it was a screw drive the top was open. On this new one I managed to fish a wire thru after the opener was up. I had to drill some small holes to do…

Pros
  • Quiet, smooth, easy install
Cons
  • The Genie 7055-KV Garage Door Opener consumes a lot of electricity, which may result in high energy bills

Great quality. for my opinion

Genie has an online video that walks you through the install step by step. Super easy to follow. I can’t believe how quiet it is. You can’t hear it opening or closing from inside the house, and two bedrooms have common walls with the garage. I have a full size insulated garage door that’s very heavy. This 3/4 HP motor handles it like nothing. Highly highly recommend it.

Pros
  • What a nice opener. Had it up in an hour. Sounds like a belt drive because it’s so quiet. Recommend.
Cons
  • The installation process of this garage door opener can be quite challenging and time-consuming

Good but I should have bought the belt style

I thought I bought the belt model but got the chain style instead. It’s in my detached garage so noise isn’t too crucial. The company has a very good online installation video. Will buy the belt model for my other door next spring.

Pros
  • ‎Limited 1 Year Accessories Warranty, Limited 5 Year Parts Warranty, Limited Lifetime Motor & Belt Warranty
Cons
  • The Genie 7055-KV Garage Door Opener may be quite outdated compared to newer technology on the market

Quiet, works well overall.

12 second open time, very quiet operation - similar to a belt unit. Remote range is average. Keypad is alright, but doesn't have a master code option to have multiple codes programmed, just a guest temporary that is deleted the next time the main code is entered.Installation was easy. All the parts were included and well labeled with clear instructions. Took about 8 hours to remove the old opener, rebalance the door, patch the drywall, and install the new opener and accessories. I completed the

Pros
  • ‎38959X
Cons
  • The Genie 7055-KV Garage Door Opener may not be very user-friendly, with lots of buttons and instructions to navigate

Quiet and 12.5 second open time on a standard 7' door.

Is good, California battery backup compliant, quiet, works with Chevy Homelink on board buttons. Delivered a day early and all the parts were there. Not too hard to put together, used it to replace a 30 year old Genie screw drive opener. Worked on a 90 degree day and it took about 7 hours with water breaks to install. Was able to reuse hangers for the existing motor mount with minimal modification, but need to put in bar end mount above door, sensors and such. I'm meticulous by nature so it…

Pros
  • ‎Lithium Manganese Dioxide
Cons
  • The Genie 7055-KV Garage Door Opener may be quite heavy and difficult to lift, which can be a problem for people with physical disabilities
