Genie QuietLift Connect – WiFi Smart Garage Door Opener with Added Wireless Keypad, ¾ HPC Smart Belt Drive – Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, Model 3053-TKV

UPDATE 7 months later. Really love this SMART WIFI garage door opener. The wife made me replace her door opener immediately so I now have two to review. Never a issue in 7 months. The app works great to notify you and open/close the doors remotely. Not once has the door not closed correctly on the first try. Smooth and quiet opener. My old Genie screw drive opener went out after 16 years of use. Any electronic that you can get 15 years of problem free use out of is a solid product. I have only had this new opener installed for a week so far. Lots of options with openers nowadays. 1) Battery backup - this model doesn't have it and I didn't feel that it served much purpose for me. I am capable of pulling the handle to release the door if there is a power outage which is short term and rare in Illinois. An extra $100 plus the maintenance involved in the battery made me rule out that option. 2) Wifi - To sum it up if you are on the fence. Buy this model which includes the SMART Connect functions. I have a ton of connected devices in my house. I asked myself do I really care about wifi on a garage door opener. I didn't think I would. I have a WYZE cam in my garage to tell me if I accidently left the garage door open which happens often when you are 3 blocks away from the house. Did I need a connected opener also? I have found out the answer is yes. Not only can you open and close the door through the FREE and awesome Aladdin app it will tell you whether the door is currently closed or open. The app is super simple to use - you can get notifications each time the door is opened or closed - or not if you choose. It also has an easy way to add Siri capability to open and close. Now I can pull on my block and just say Hey Siri open the Truck Garage. I don't even need to carry a door opener now. I can open and close the door from anywhere in the world now. I can now create a rule in the app to close the door if I left it open after 1045pm. Pretty cool. 3) Install. Took about 1 hour to disassemble my old Genie. The new one took me about 3 hours to install. I do a lot of home projects so I am quite handy. The instructions could be slightly better. I read the paper instructions, I can't comment on the video instructions. Overall install is easy. I wish they would clarify the turnbuckle belt attachment step. Also they never detailed how to lock in the door for the first time and properly run. After the instructions were finished I thought I was ready to run the door. However it only lift the door 3 feet. I messed around for 30 minutes trying different things thinking it was a hardware problem. The issue however lies in the 2nd set of instructions which is the programming portion. I figured the remotes come preprogrammed I don't have to read those instructions since I dont have Homelink buttons inside my F150. What they should clarify on the first set of instructions is the programming instructions includes the LIFT and CLOSE "learning". You have to press certain buttons so the opener learns where to stop to open and close the door. I was used to the old opener that had a small switch on the track that physically was moved to tell the opener where to open and close. Long story short. Read the Programming guide. This should be included on the first set of instructions in my opinion. 4) Quietness. While I didn't want anything super quiet this opener is much smoother and quieter. My second garage door with another 16 year old genie now sounds like a train rolling in. I can now barely hear the garage door through the inside house door. The belt drive is certainly recommended over the screw drive. 5) Downsides. I should have bought this much sooner. Well worth $209. Withing one day the wife said I now have to buy her side of the garage a new one also. Can I consider that a downside? The second install will likely be super quick. I bet I can have the old one down in 30 minutes and the new one up in under 1 hour. So far no downsides, buy one if you are in the market.

Excellent garage door opener. Plan some time to install this, don't think this will be a quick 30 minute and done project...more like a 45 minute project if you know what you are doing and maybe an hour to an hour and a half if you have never installed one before. I used this to replace my old Genie garage door opener so I had a few extra steps taking the old one down. However, that did make it a bit easier to install this new one because all of the hardware was in the correct place and I just had to switch out the old with the new. Didn't have to measure anything, but did have to adjust the height and adjust the brackets that hold it to the ceiling. Quick tip: you can use tin snips to easily cut the provided bracket if you need to. As for specs: this is a belt driven opener, which makes it super quiet. Honestly my last one was a screw drive and lasted over 30 years and I replaced it because the light sockets stopped working and would stay constantly on, not to mention it was really loud.Just shows you how good these garage door openers are so I'm hoping this one lasts just as long. Anyway, the hardest part was attaching the sensors and getting them lined up correctly, once that was done everything went together. Now for my perticular install, the original house owner did some janky stuff with the wiring, which was routed through the garage drywall, and I had wires that were mismatched. Just a tip, if you are replacing a door opener and have a similar situation, they give you enough wiring to wire everything up so I would just use the new wires. Having to figure out the wire colors for the sensors and the wall mounted clicker added about 40 minutes to my install (yes it was that much of a mess) and I ended up just rewiring anyway. Features: the Aladdin phone app works pretty well. Easy to install and easy to set up and allows us to open the door when away and it tells us if the door is open or closed. It also has a feature for an Amazon delivery, but I would never trust just letting anyone into my garage. May be beneficial if you have something very valuable delivered, but I wouldn't trust anything delivered by UPS knowing it would be hit or miss that they would throw a heavy box on top of my car or something. The garage door openers (visor clickers)- it comes with 2 and those are easy to set up as well. When installing, you set the open height and the closed pressure by adjusting the settings, which again is pretty easy to do. It says it is quiet, and it means it- SUPER QUIET. Now the only downside I can state at this time is the speed. It lacks speed adjustment and it is rather slow opening. However I am getting use to it and for the quiet operation, this is a very good tradeoff. OVERALL: I highly recommend this door opener.

Bought this a few months back on sale for $200. Just installed 3M later. Have only installed a few openers. This one was a bear. Took all day. Partly my fault b/c I was trying to reuse the old opener's brackets. The wires are very fine, and a little difficult to wire-into the top of the unit. This is VERY quiet when running compared to a chain-drive. It is also very slow. ..Register the Alladin Connect app in advance. Make sure you have proper wifi signal. Connection is quick and seamless. Getting others linked in is easy. To set the outdoor remote panel make sure you're at least 5' away (after you push the button on the unit). Doesn't have a camera but I have a Nest wired unit I'm running in the garage. Yes would be nice to be all-in-one but I didn't want the competitor's app issue/fees. Homelink works as it should in the cars. In all a great upgrade from the 2000's older device.

I finally decided to replace my 40-year-old Genie garage door opener, which was still working by the way. It was the old screw drive with the carrier that strips out and the coupler that breaks. That thing was built like a tank in that motor was still running after 40 years of abuse, but it was time for a quiet opener that integrates with my smart home controls. This thing was an easy one person install, and I was able to reuse the old Genie garage door sensors and all the wiring. I just had to replace the wall controller and the nose bracket for the end of the track. I was able to even still use the same ceiling bracket. This thing is shockingly quiet and the motor soft starts in both directions so no more jerking and slamming with the door and listening to that tremendously loud screwdrive. The opening closed stops are now software without limit switches and it’s real easy to adjust the open and close limits with the control buttons. I had another Genie door at another location where I was using the Aladdin app and I already know how to program that and it works great. I had zero problems getting hooked to Wi-Fi and getting this door added to my Aladdin app. I didn’t try connecting it to Alexa or any other type of home automation. The included remotes were also super easy to program. The things is not as robust and doesn’t feel as well made so I don’t know how long it’s gonna last, but it was easy to install, easy to program, it’s quiet as a mouse and now I have full automation. Super happy on day one

Very quiet, took me about 4 hours start to finish. Make sure you have 2.4 wireless. That was the only downside. Genie customer service was fabulous, I thought my router had both 5G and 2.4 but it didn’t. Had to make a call to our provider to have 2.4 added at no charge. Genie told me exactly what and how to get it. Overall, I’m very happy with this opener, it is very quiet. 2.4 works better through cement walls than 5g, so it turned out to be better once it was all done.

I replaced a screw drive Genie opener that must have been 20 years old. It was a very stout and heavy opener. I wanted a quiet and reliable opener. I did not want WiFi, Apps, Camera, Battery Backup ... or anything other than an opener with remotes. So, I got this one. This opener is much lighter than the old screw drive one. Not sure that is a good thing or not. The belt and rail assembly weighs hardly anything. The drive unit isnt much either. You can pick it all up with a couple of fingers. Assembly is (1) assemble rail with the belt (2) attach the rail to the drive (3) attach bracket to door header (4) hang the new opener (5) program the remotes. I removed an old opener and so I had L brackets on my ceiling that I reused to hang the new drive unit. I just had to readjust the brackets a bit to fit the new drive motor. I also had existing Genie safety sensors and a wall control. So, I just reused them on this new opener. Wired up and worked just fine. So, I didn't have to pull any wire, install any safety sensors or hang a new wall control inside the garage. WARNING - when you finish the install the garage door opener the belt still does not engage the door. When you hit the wall control the belt will move but the door will not. WHY? Because the installation does not tell you how to engage the rail carriage to the door. This information is provided in the owners manual. No idea why. No warning in the install guide either. Programming is very very easy. Took me just a few minutes. My door failed the 2x4 board test for positive contact. No worries. Stand outside the door and close it with your remote. When the door is 1/2 way down just grab it by hand. Genie told me the 2x4 test was bad. Also, there will be a RED LED on the side of the motor, inside the light cover. No worries. This tells you that WiFi is NOT hooked up. I thought it was a problem till I talked to Genie. I like it. I would have liked it more if it were sturdier but then maybe it doesn't have to be. Time will tell if its a good upgrade from my old Genie.

Easy to install, and to program the remote. No noise like the chain drive.

I bought this model instead of the older one, and I was very disappointed. When I started connecting the wires to the four terminals on the motor, two of the small plastic clips that are supposed to open so the wires can be inserted broke very easily. I don't understand why the engineers or designers changed the wiring connection. The previous design used screws, allowing you to wrap the wire around the terminal and tighten it securely. That design was much more reliable and made it easy to disconnect and reconnect the wires if needed. With this new design, the plastic clips are fragile and break too easily. I ended up having to call an electrician to fix the problem. Another issue is that the track sections connect together without supporting screws. When I open and close the garage door, I can see the belt track bending downward, which does not inspire confidence in the product's durability. I do not recommend this new technology, despite what GENIE claims. The older design was much better and more dependable.

Straight forward instruction and the video helped. I replaced an old opener with the Gennie and it works very well and is way more quiet. 2 remotes and the key pad are very handy. About 8 hours in total to install.

Es más corto que el anterior, mi puerta no abre por completo. No fue fácil encontrar quien lo instalara, esa marca la tienen catalogada como chafa los instaladores y no quieren instalarla para evitar problemas con clientes.

El kit viene con todo lo necesario para su instalación instrucciones fáciles de entender

It was easy to install, but saying that i was just replacing it for an older garage door open, so most of the brackets on the garage door and the ceiling were already there. Setting up was easy and the noise level is nice and quiet.

This was a great purchase for replacing my old unit. It is so quiet!!! Cant believe it compared to my 30 year old Lift master. The step by step tutorial downloaded to my phone was a pleasant surprise!!. Kudos's to whom ever thought up that! No more going back and forth to the instruction's (which were excellent I might add to. I'm a Do It Your Selfer and got it done. It took me triple the time as the instructions said. (2 hours, 2 people. It was 9 hours 1 person for me. But I broke it up in two days. Plus I had to re-engineer the hangers in my garage as it did not quite work with what I had. This units overall length is 1'-0" shorter than my old one. I had to reposition the supports which were included in the box (Thank You Genie!!). Over all so far I'm really happy. EXCEPT!. I'm having trouble connecting to my Router in the garage. I haven't figured it out yet. I might need an extender?.
