Genie Garage Door Opener 1/2 hp DirectLift Screw Drive is quiet! February 04, 2011
My old Genie Blue Max was 18 years old and finally gave out. So I thought I could repair it, but no repair parts were available anymore. So I thought I would stick with Genie and purchased a Genie Garage Door Opener 1/2 hp DirectLift Screw Drive. I am a handy person and thought that Genie would use some of the same brackets and I was correct. I was able to install the track using the old track mount and the unit using the old angle irons as well. It took a couple of hours to put the unit together using the picture instruction manual. Have a friend hep raise the track and unit into place. You have to make sure you mount the safety beam, it won't work if you try to by-pass it. The wall switch turns on the light independently also, which is a cool feature. You can also turn off the unit for vacations if you don't want it to open while you are gone. The old Genie pad on the outside of my door works with this unit as well. I have a heavy door. It is a 2-car garage door with cedar paneling on it, which is about the heaviest this opener can lift. I would love to see it as a 3/4 horsepower motor.

No Good October 12, 2010
I personally installed a different brand over 25 years ago and it finally died. In the 25 years, not a peep from the unit and it worked flawlessly all during that time. That was then, this is now. I replaced it with this one and had Sears do the installation. Since its been installed, I've had nothing but trouble from day one. Limit switches are a pain, the installer didn't do a good job so they kept moving. Now, the door is at a point where it only operates when it wants to. It'll go up, and then never go down no matter how many times you push the button. (manual or remote) I then have to unplug the unit, use the manual lever to "unhook" the door and then after doing this a couple of times, it decides to work again. I've only had the unit 6-months and I'm already talking about replacing it. All that money out the window.
