These garage door openers are very cheap compared to other garage door openers. The reason for the price difference is that this is the base model by Chamberlain. They are a little noisier than other garage door openers, but that's really the only problem I've experienced. When I say "noisy" I don't mean loud enough to wake up your neighbors in the middle of the night. They are just loud enough that you can obviously tell a garage door is opening. If noise is an issue you can check out Chamberlain's belt drive garage door openers for about $40 more.
As I said in the intro, we purchased 2 of these garage door openers and installed them on an old garage for an apartment building about 4 years ago. We haven't had any problems with the openers. They are obviously a value series, but you can't beat them for the price and the convenience they add. There are plenty of other different garage door openers out there, but if you want a cheap, good working opener – you've found it.
