Had a high-end Chamberlain, ran into problems after about a year. Ripped it out, installed a flagship Genie. Much happier now.

Also note that Chamberlain "smart" only works with their app, no assistants (Alexa/Siri/Google).
Anyone promoting Chamberlain in this thread is either a shill or clueless. Company was sold to total scum Blackstone. Avoid avoid avoid. Their model is to do everything in their power to get you into a subscription, watching ads, and giving them data to sell.
Bought this from last years sale. Already having problems with it. Warranty is covering the parts, but the labor is more than a whole new unit. I wouldn't buy again

Buy the Chamberlain over the Genie. Even though it's only 1/2hp, that's more than enough for today's steel garage doors. Better in every way.

It's in-store only, thats why it won't let you purchase online or see stock.

Do you happen to know if the battery going bad causes the unit to stop working? I had one maybe 15 years ago which worked that way. I get that they need to make sure the user knows it's bad, but that seems so dumb it's almost intentional (to generate revenue.). I don't think I ever used the battery open function, and the door only ever failed due to a dead battery!

I have 2 garage doors and don't want to set myself up for $100 of batteries every 5 years. I can still manually open the door if needed and expect to be able to do so for a couple more decades!

I want to follow your advice and agree. But I'm from Ohio and the Genie is made in Ohio and can't find where chamberlain is made. I'm being stubborn, I know Smilie

Fwiw I've had a genie for two years with no problems. I imagine most of the cheaper models will be very similar between the two brands.

If you buy this, note that they do NOT come with a keypad for outside entry. That will need to be purchased separately.

Quote from Khatndi :
Nearly all professionals dealing with garage doors will tell you Chamberlain all the way as there is no comparison. Most won't even service or install a Genie unit due to the poor quality. I had a Chamberlain unit put in last year and have no regrets. Home Depot will run specials on the install for $97 if that is a need for you. If the battery backup on the Chamberlain is a concern, spend a little more to get one without.

Hi. What concern about battery backup?
