Is it possible that it's cheaper in store than in the app with the pickup option? It's showing $130.

Some people claim chamberlain is a better brand but Genie works fine too. I just replaced 15 year old Genie screw drive garage door opener with a new Genie 1.25-HP belt driven with battery backup. I would recommend going with battery backup, that way you can still operate the garage door during power outages. My Genie claims battery backup will open garage door 50x.

My local lowes has Genie 1.25-HP Belt Drive Garage Door Opener Battery Back-up on sale for $180 (No WiFi). I paid $219 a few months ago.

It will take 3-4hrs to install this the first time. A tip, once you have it all setup and adjusted, if the wall console (not the wireless keypad) doesn't light up red, reverse the wires on it to fix it.
Funny, I HATED my Chamberlain for the two years I had it even though I bought the flagship model. I finally had enough and replaced it with the comparable Genie, couldn't be happier. Smarthome integration is so much better through the Genie ecosystem.

No external keypad. That's a deal breaker for me. I didn't even know they sold openers without it any more.

I have the button in my car that opens my old garage door from the early 2000's, do you think my car will be able to open this as well?
I have a 2008 with homelink and it doesn't work with Security+ 2.0 devices which came out 2009-2010ish.

There are devices called homelink repeaters that capture the signal from your car and then transmit the newer signal. Yes, it is less security, but your other options are a new car or using a remote.

I just replaced a genie with another genie that has a battery. I used it just this morning when some strong storms rolled through the pittsburgh area overnight. Our power is still out.

Just me, but I will always have a battery backup on any opener that I replace.

Something else that my garage door guy told me to get was a surge protector for the opener. He told me that today's openers are really sensitive to voltage spikes and can fry the expensive circuit board preys easily.

I picked one up from Amazon for around $10.

Interesting idea for the surge protector.

However the one you provided isn't very good. The clamping voltage is 500v. At that high, you'll have damage before it kicks in. Surprised genie even sells that. 500v clamping is usually a no name unit.

For actual electronics you care about you want 330v clamping

Good to know. I have a 2013 and after some trial and error got mine to work. Had to press 1+3 for 10 seconds to clear, get opener in programming mode, run to my car, press 1 every 1 second until I saw the garage move.

Thanks OP, I have been wanting to replace my 2003 unit for some time and this worked perfectly. Run down for anyone curious about my experience:

1. I assembled the opener on the floor, first. Pretty easy. (They use BILT app which is cool)
2. Installed the new door sensors + had to run the wiring. (PITA)(I would use existing if you have it.)
3. Installed new wall switch next to old one + ran new wiring. (semi-PITA)
4. (Next day) Removed old garage door opener leaving all the old brackets in place.
5. Attached the new unit to the existing brackets.
6. Reused the hangers from the old door opener to attach the new motor to the ceiling.
7. Connected all the sensor and wall switch wiring.
8. Plugged it in, set the close and open levels, programmed the remotes.
9. Installed and configured the App

All is working well. I am now replacing the door rollers with Nylon type. The sound difference b/w the chain driven and belt is huge.I mean huge. You need a tall ladder if you plan to DIY. Its not too difficult if you have existing hook up points. If this is your first one and you are uncertain, I would pay someone to do it. The most annoying part was fishing the wire through the ceiling.

Was able to buy one in store for $116. A bit difficult to find. It was in the lighting section.

I have three garage doors with battery back ups and never used the battery back up before the batteries died. Not really worth it unless you live somewhere that has frequent power outages as the battery will most likely be dead when you need it unless you replace it every couple years

How often does your power go out?

If you care so much about power then get a whole house generator. It's 2023

We keep our vehicles in the garage, if there's some kind of emergency, esp when I'm not home, my wife would be able to open the door and evacuate without pulling a cord, manually lifting door, etc.

This is code in many areas.

Whole house generator would be a huge expense and power is generally reliable. I got a genie opener with battery backup, wifi for $79 on BF from Lowes.
