CHAMBERLAINB4613T MYQ Smart Garage Door Opener, Ultra Quiet Belt Drive, Battery Backup, 3/4-HP Motor - Quantity 1

Replaced my 22 year old Marantec opener. This has so much more functions and looks great. Installation is not hard since I re-used existing electrical lines. setup of myQ app and wireless keypad is very easy too. myQ works great and now i can open/close the garage door from my iphone app, and also know the status of the door from my iphone. Should have replaced the old opener long time earlier.The old Marantec was very quiet due to DC motor and belt drive and one-piece inclusive C-shaped track. This Chamberlain is as quiet as the marantec due to DC motor and belt drive, and is faster than the Marantec.motion activated light works well, It's a nice feature to have.

I replaced my 25 years old Craftsman 1/2 HP (the belt was about to break) with Chamberlain B4613T garage door opener. The new garage door opener was installed mostly without a hiccup, except that the diameter of the supplied Clevis Pin 5/16" X 1 was larger than the receiving hole on the Trolley. So I had to use the old garage door opener Clevis Pin instead to attach the Straight Door Arm to the Trolley. The new opener operated very quiet, smooth, stable and assuredly. Especially, the square-tube rail appeared more rigid and resisted better to rattles while opening and closing. Also, liked the bright LED light and battery-backup features very much. Also, like the myQ app smart feature. I am very happy with the product and certainly recommend to others.

This unit has features that provide convenience and security. I have three doors with similar openers. With my iphone, these openers alert me when they cycle. I can see door status and operate them remotely. With many years of using these internet based features I find they are rock steady with almost no system down time.With the battery backup feature DC drive motors are employed and they have acceleration at initiation and completion of the cycles. The motor slowly starts and nearing the end of a cycle, it slows down so there is no start stop jerking. They are extremely quiet. If there is a power failure, the doors still operate. Using provided transmitters, vehicle Homelink or the outside button pad I can gain access to my house even without utility power. The light is bright internal LED.On the negative side, this unit replaces a similar Chamberlain opener made in 2015 which intermittently failed to remember the open/close stops resulting in failure to close. Reprogramming the stops restored function for a few days and then the failure returned. Based on the high cost of a replacement main board, I opted to buy this new opener. So for you math lovers a life span of 7 years equates to about $40/year to own one of these. (I have three).If you want the internet intelligence and do not want to buy a new opener, Chamberlain makes a kit that adds that functionality to a non-smart opener. (Chamberlain MyQ Wi-Fi Smart Garage Door Hub - Model Number MYQ-G0302) I have one of these kits and it integrates into the myQ app perfectly.As far as Alexa integration, I looked at that and it appears convoluted so I didn't lose a lot of time on it.I expected more than 7 years life from my previous unit and hope for 10-15 with the new one. However, in my experience more complexity breeds higher failure rates but buzzers and bells thrill me so I will live with that.

We bought this specific opener because of the motion sensing feature. It did not come with correct control panel. First picture is what we got, second picture is what we were supposed to get. Other than that, the opener works well, very quiet, easy to hook up to the Homelink and easy to install the MyQ ap. We had it installed by a professional and he was done in about 1-1/2 hrs.Update:. I contacted Chamberlain and they sent us the correct control panel at no charge. Should be easy to install. It connects with two wires.

Solid. Silent. Smooth. I didn’t need a built in Camera so this is perfect. I was across town once and remembered I left the door open. I closed it with the app. Cool.
