I have only had this installed for about 2 months. I replaced my old 1/2 HP with this 3/4 HP (mainly because it was on sale for $10 cheaper than the 1/2 HP) and I am sure glad I did. This opener is much quicker and much more quiet! It was fairly easy to install. One thing I thought was just a fluff was the motion detector for the lights, but now I am so used to just walking into the garage and have the lights come on automatically. It's Great!

This red unit looks nice and the installation was an easy process in part do to some good clear instructions. It runs quiet with a pleasant whirring sound. I'm a big fan of the extra light and the motion detector. All the remotes worked on the first try. The wiring was well marked with stripes and a much better quality than I have in my own house however I opted to use what I already had in the walls. Now here come the judge. This so called chain drive system is only half chain and half steel cable which is the twisted strand type cable. When you pull on something that's twisted it tries to un-twist, right? No different here. So the chain that's attached to that cable follows right along and there's no way to keep it from happening. Here's the problem with that, the sprocket on the motor unit has the extra job of straightening out the chain while opening up the door. The motor's sprocket is made with a pretty sharp edge and its thin enough to make this straightening happen with minimum noise and clatter. This cable is much weaker than the chain and if you twist and then un-twist that cable over and over, I think it will fail first and way too early. Also this situation will likely cause accelerated wear on the chain and sprocket components. Bottom line folks, spend a little more and go with the belt or screw drive. I personally would choose the belt whisper drive if I had it to do over, but I'm not going to return it now, to much work.

Replaced an older 1/2 HP craftsman opener with this one. Installation was easy, it mounted to the existing ceiling bracket. It is much quieter and faster than the old unit. The only disappointment was my old remotes wouldn't work with the new opener.
I bought two of these Craftsman garage door openers a little over a year ago and installed them myself. The kit comes with an opener motor (chain, bars & install components & direction booklet) 2 wireless remotes for your vehicles, one wall wired controller (with motion sensor, lock button, and door opener button) and a wireless remote keypad for outside the garage door.
This was my first time installing garage door openers and it went fairly smooth. I have a 2-car door and a single-car door. Obviously the 3/4hp model has plenty of lifting power for both! A second person to help with the install at key times would be strongly suggested but I was able to use a second ladder to support the opener when getting ready to attatch it to the ceiling.
Pros: Both openers use same (315MHz - black button) remote, Keyless entry pad is so convenient. Never get locked out again! Quiet door opperation - not loud, no one in the above 2nd story bedroom is awakened or bothered by the openers. Motion sensor so when you walk into your garage from the house or outside the lights instantly go on. You can program how long they stay on. Plus the Craftsman Red looks great and matches my tool boxs and work bench.
You can program the keyless entry pad with your 4 digit private access code and also a temporary one that can be given to friends, neighbors or the appliance service man who need access to your house to work on whatever. You set the temporary code and how many times it will work. Once it is used that 'X' amount of times it expires - no more access granted.
I also installed a new Craftsman radio controller (315MHz same as garage openers) on my driveway gate opener. (Model# 53751 or # 53757) I can now control all 3 openers with one remote. Talk about convenient and making life easier. Would highly recommend this garage door opener kit. I also suggest getting it when it is on sale as I did and save a good deal of money.
This replacement (stronger than the old one and I replaced the SPRINGS- works well. A bit noisy. The installation directions were a bit confusing- if I had not installed other Sears openers in the past - it would have been somewhat difficult to follow.
The motion sensor to turn on the lights is a real convenience. The remotes work well
I thought I'd be able to use my old Sears remotes NO SUCH LUCK.
Bottom line- I am happy with it.
We were having a rash of problems with the door opener in our new house. Even though we have only been here two years the original unit was so noisy and slow that it was a blessing when it quit and trapped the car inside. Sears had a great deal on this powerful 3/4 hp unit so it was perfect timing. Bought it one day, installed it the next. Took a couple of hours to strip out the old and put in the new but it was well worth it.
The new Crafstman unit is fast, dead quiet, and even has a battery backup for when the power goes off. My wife loves the auto sensor that turns on the bright lights in the garage. Just walk nearby and the garage is filled with light.
Everybody loves the quiet way that it works. Before the dog would always meet us at the door when we got home but now even the dog is caught unaware of when we get home. The ten year warranty on the drive belt should cover us for a good long time. If the durability is as good as the fine engineering in this machine we should not have to worry for many years. Thanks Craftsman for another quality tool to get the job done.
