Hello again. Happy New Year . I just finished installing myself the Genie 6172H-O. Thanks for all your support and opinion over the past few months. I only have one issue, and that's the colored wire panel inside the unit. It's cheap, flimsy plastic, and doesn't hold the wires securely. The rest is Awesome.! See you on the other side next year, my friend.
Had a B2401MC installed at a rental 1-8-2024 by a local pro. It’s working flawlessly. The bedrooms are above and it is quiet! Renter loves the MyQ setup. Cost was $159+ tax, $150 for installation. I’m in a NW suburb of Chicago.
Installed Genie 7155 myself. Only issue is wifi. Specifically it will not work with repeater, also it will not work if your router security is set up as WPA 2/WPA3. it will only work with WPA2 or WPA
I have a Wayne Dalton Garage door. I was interested in a wall mount but don’t want to spend the extra money on the adapter. Would any of the genie openers you mentioned work on this type of door?
@@kaywillis5258 I’ve been a genie and Moore-o-matic door opener guy since 1974. The genie’s seemed to last about 8 years on average, the Moore-o-magic was 10 years old when I sold the home. Since I ran into the belt drive by Liftmaster (Chamberlain or Craftsman) that my son-in-law bought down the street, I won’t buy a genie. The belt ones are very quiet, especially if there are bedrooms above the garage door. I have a rental that I just replaced a Liftmaster change drive opener that was installed when the unit was new in 1995. I replaced it with a Chamberlain B2401MC, 1/2 hp belt drive (also bedrooms above the garage, tenant loves them and the MyQ). My grandson has 2 Liftmaster 1/2 hp chain drive units that are still operating and they were installed in 1996.
Thank you for the question. What type of garage door does she own? What brand of garage door opener does she currently use? What type of security features does she need?
Thank you for your video. I live at the beach in GA where it is very humid & I would like a recommendation on replacing my current ½ HP screw driven garage door openers. One is a Genie 2562 Powerlift 900. I got a recommendation from a local installer for two LiftMaster 8160 installed for $1500. I was hoping for something a little less expensive. What do you recommend? At first I thought a basic model might be best but having smartphone capability may come in handy. Do you recommend a battery backup or maybe for one of the openers? I came across this but not sure if it a good choice & deal. Your advice is greatly appreciated.
Need help. I talked with an installer and I'm looking for a simple LiftMaster opener for a single car door. I want a one piece rail and belt drive. Really liked the model 81550. Issue is in California need to comply with the backup battery requirement. What belt drive LiftMaster with backup battery do you recommend for California?
Hello! Thanks for your question! There are only two options for the moment. 1. The LiftMaster 87504-267 2. The LiftMaster 84504R Both of these openers are stellar. My favorite of the two is the 85404R. I have videos on both openers. But they both offer a lot of bang for your buck. Currently there is no contractor series belt drive garage door opener from LiftMaster offered in California. I wish I had better news for you. What area of California do you live in? What type of garage door do you currently own?
Thank you for your kinds words. There are some other brands that might be worth considering. For example, the Linear 661 garage door opener offers a great belt drive option. Marantec also offers a belt garage door operator that's super quiet. And of course there's also the Genie 2128B.
I have a chamberlain whisper drive about 18 years old, became non responsive and just humms. watched several videos of yours. So is there a unit that retrofits to my belt drive? I dont care about any technology or cameras, apps. just need a button.
Great video. I appreciate an actual person talking. I watched a couple AI videos or I should say started watching them. I usually quit as soon as I realize it’s AI generated.

I'm a genie fan but I do not like the genie signature series. but my genie favorites are the 7055 7155 and the 7155L garage door openers.

You can adjust video playback speed on on any UA-cam video, speed up or slow it down.

Why oh why do you talk so fast, especially rattling off model #’s. I had to reply video 6 times and take a screen shot. Ahhh
Thanks for the feedback. What question do you have about these models?
