Easy to replace old opener
I originally ordered this opener to be installed for $120, but got a call that they did not have installers thru sears in my area. I got my money back and was going to call local contractors. I decided to take a look at the instructions and I'm glad I did. With all the existing hardware and wiring in place, it was a piece of cake. Super quiet. I had trouble with programming my truck's button to work, but I found a section in my owner's manual for GDO's with the security feature this one has and was able to program it. Opens slow, but with the reach of the HomeLink from the truck it opens it from a very good distance and it's 100% open when I pull into the drive. Before you pay for installation to replace an existing look at the directions and your existing installation and see if you can do it yourself.

Buyer Beware

Beware... Sears does not stand behind the 3 year parts warranty after 90 days as it reads in your manual !  Bought 2 in December and installed in April. Garage door started going back up by itself last week. The position sensor on the motor is bad. The only way they MAY honor the warranty is if you spend $99 for a technician to come to your house and then in turn orders the part. Otherwise they will only sell you this less than $50 value part by buying the entire motor for $109. Your roped in to their service. Battled this for days on the phone as they bounced me from department to department or disconnected from the call. I was never rude at any time. Do NOT buy craftsman and know that SEARS does NOT value you as a customer. I have been a loyal customer for 30 years and spent thousands this year alone. They do NOT care. Willing to lose a customer over a $50 part. REFUSE to pay 1/2 of the purchase price of this opener for a technician to tell me I need the part I already know is bad. Pulled the part from my 2nd opener and moved to my most active door. Will never buy Sears and/or Craftsman again. Researching to see if this is legal based on the language in thier warranty. Frustrated does not begin to describe me right now!

Phantom opener

After owning for 4yrs. 8mos., this opener will open or close by itself. I thought that just maybe I might have a bad remote or wall console. I eventually removed the batteries from all remotes and disconnected the wall console. Less than 10 minutes later, the door closed by itself. Turns out I need receiver logic module for $115. Combine this with the battery at $38 & add shipping, it's cheaper to buy a new one! (The battery is an anticipated purchase. I removed it when it went bad 6mos. ago). Sears will not budge 1 cent on cost of parts! My Genie opener on my other garage is 18 yrs. old & never given me any problems.

Craftsman Belt drive door opener

Look no further...this is a wonderful product in every way. I purchased one for my detached garage, and when my older Craftsman garage door openers finally fail, that I have installed on my house attached 2 car garage, I will purchase 2 more of these garage door openers to replace them. Love the backup feature, and the quiet running of the belt drive system. Actually there is nothing that I dislike about this door opener. Buy it and enjoy it!

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Works Great Extremely Quiet!

I?m replacing my 18 year old screwdrive type of opener. This battery back up unit works great! Its operation is near silent and smooth. After I installed this new opener on my 18 year old door I realized that the rollers on the old door were loud and squeaky so a little lithium grease on them and everything works in near silence, GREAT! I installed this unit 5 months ago and it works flawlessly. I?ve unplugged the unit and tested the battery backup system and it works fine. Since my garage has only the car doors I needed a battery backup unit so I can get my car and generator out when the power goes out. I also like how the control panel displays the time and temperature. To ensure operation during power outages I plan on replacing the battery every two years regardless of condition, they are relatively inexpensive.

Quietest opener I've never heard!

I purchased on sale for under $190.00, definitely worth the money at the regular price. Normal installation is a breeze, except for the fact that there's a support beam across my finished garage ceiling, so I had to shorten the rail 3", and the belt 6". It would be nice if Craftsman provided on-line or toll free technical support, which unlike Genie, they do not. Very quiet unit that can't even be heard in the overhead master bedroom. We love it!

I would recommend this product to a friend.
