my ancient genie opener has finally died, and I don't feel like trying to resurrect it (again). It was in the garage when we tore it down, sat in storage for a few years while we built the garaj maha

I've been reasonably happy with the Sears belt drive model. It's quieter than the others and it has worked well for me. I haven't really done a major survey, though. Sears is just very convenient for

I installed a Sears belt drive opener a few weeks ago. It's much quieter than the chain drive opener it replaced. I'd venture to say it's even quieter than my parents' screw drive opener. The only no

So far, mine shows no sign of wear at all. I think that compared to driving a camshaft in a car engine for 60K miles, a garage door opener belt has a pretty easy life. -Steve Trovato strovato@optonli

I have two genie screw-drive models that were with the house when we purchased it 10 years ago. From the looks of them then, they were installed around the time the house was built (1986). So there i

I've got a pair of Genie BlueMax openers that were in the house 9 years ago when I bought it. The house was four years old when I moved in and I believe these were the original openers here. So 13 ye

Well mine have been ok for the last 10 years or so. Most board failures I have had have been lightning related. I have my openers plugged into cheap cube surge protector things. I don't know how much

Thank you for your replies, from this and previous discussions I'm leaning towards a Genie. I'll have to admit, it is my first opener, and my second installation of a 200 amp service, but everything

One more thing to note, my openers have the receiver separate from the opener, so perhaps that helps isolate the vibrations? Also, I couldn't get more that a month out of incandescent bulbs. About a

Yeah, the vibration kills them pretty quickly. They make special "door opener" bulbs that are vibration resistant. But at $4 - $5 each, you can buy a lot of "4 for $1.29" cheapies, as long as the thi
