Genie StealthDrive Connect Smart Belt Drive Garage Door Opener, 7155-TKV

We recently purchased a 25 year old house that came with the original garage door opener. The opener definitely seems older than the house. I had to start opening the garage door the night before so it would be open when I needed to go to work in the morning, and I am surprise I didn't get noise complaints from it. So I went searching for new a new one. The selling points for me were: • It integrated with Google Home (Genie Aladdin through Wi-Fi) • It had the Amazon key deal • I trusted the brand • I could buy it in CA (Apparently, all new garage door openers must come with a battery backup. I don't know why. I'm going to guess something to do with fires and power outages?) Installation...I had a handyman install it for me so I can't claim that it was easy or not. He told me that the physical installation was a breeze. Said it took him only like 2-3 hours total for that part. This contributed to my surprise when I came back home 5 hours later to see him still working on it. The problem with the installation is the programming. There are 3 or 4 buttons on the button of the unit. If you press them down enough you get a very satisfying click that feels like you're engaging it. That's wrong. If you push them down with like 35% of the force needed to get that click, you'll get a much less satisfying mini baby click. That's the spot you need to find. It took us both another couple hours to figure that out. Additionally, my handyman did not really read the instructions but more just installed from experience and looking at the diagrams. So the wall button wasn't working because of the diagram he saw that was confusing. The diagram shows the 4 holes where the wires go into on the side of the opener with 2 cables going into each 1 and 2. So he took the safety sensor cables and joined them with wall opener cables and put them in there. After a few days of looking at it and re-reading the instructions some 20 times I finally saw the blip of text that said he wall opener goes into 3 and 4. Moral.of the story: 1 and 2 are for each of the safety sensors (doesn't matter which). 3 (white) and 4 (red) are for the wall opener. Since that was corrected, this has been the opener of my dreams. I didn't know openers were this quiet and smooth. Haven't tried the Amazon Key deal yet, but once we do, maybe I'll update this review. One gripe I have: for the price, the lightbulbs should have been included. I ended up getting some from Costco that are pretty bright and cheap, and I probably would have replaced them with those anyeay, but still.

As a 53 year old single woman I was dreading the replacement of my current garage door opener. Needless to say with the purchase price of a new opener, I didn’t have the extra funds to pay someone to do it for me. I will say that the step by step instructions were clear, bags of fasteners were clearly labeled and indicated for use within the installation poster included in box. I also had the advantage of pre-existing wiring, for which I was entirely grateful. From opening the box to final programming for use took me about 5 hours. I feel this could have been quicker with two people and a better variety of tools on my end. I had no problems setting up the opener, remotes, or exterior keypad which I had seen complaints of in a couple other reviews, instructions were clear and easy to follow. I did run into a hiccup with my existing supports and this new openers power cord not being long enough. I rigged it for use for the couple of days needed to get the proper items shipped to me, finishing and finalizing took about another hour to complete. I never did download the app, I am quite content to just use my remote and keypad. I’m very excited that this opener has a battery backup and will keep me from manually opening the garage door in case of power outages. Coming from a 1/2 power chain drive, to this 3/4 belt drive, I’m in awe of its quiet performance. I have another one in a detached garage that I know will go at some point and I won’t hesitate to purchase a second one of these. ***UPDATE 08/01/26*** Still very happy with this garage door opener but wanted to share a hiccup with the remotes. About 3 months ago I left for work and no issues with my remote when I left. When I got home, the remote wouldn’t open the garage door, I got out, used the key panel and pulled in. For some reason I had to link my remote back to the opener and it’s been fine since. Yesterday my mother had the same thing happen to her, again, it was resolved by reprogramming the remote. Thank goodness this process is simple, but I don’t understand what’s causing this. I think if it happens again I will change out the batteries and see if that is the underlying problem.

I’ve had this garage door opener for several years now, and I am thoroughly impressed with it. The instructions were clearly written as I was able to install it by myself. It is extremely quiet; it’s so quiet that I had to purchase a garage door sensor that ties in with my security system that lets me know when the garage door is opened. I, also, love the feature that I can use Siri to open/close the door. However, the crowning jewel occurred last week when we had a severe storm. The power went out and my wife and I had to leave and go to the hotel. Even though the power was out, we were still able to use the garage door since it does have a backup battery. In 3 years, I have had 0 issues with this product. I would highly recommend this for others.

I bought this unit to replace a 25 year old system, single car garage. Installed by myself, a fairly straightforward 3-hour effort, and the instructions and packaging of hardware by installation stage was excellent. Everything was very clearly described, illustrated, and straightforward. I did find that both of the safety sensors that detect objects in the door's path were broken, very hard to imagine how that could have happened in transit--the packaging was very good, everything divided and carboard separators, so these very likely left the factory damaged. I wound up using the units form old system until I get warranty replacements. My package included a battery backup, which should have in theory been extremely easy to install--just clips onto main housing and plugs into a connector on housing, but my battery's clip spacing was not even close to the spacing on the housing, so it will not fit/install. Another support ticket... Programming of remotes and setting up wifi/smart phone access was not too difficult, though setting up PIN code for the exterior wireless keypad unit was tricky. It was not at all intuitive whether the various blinking "status" and "program" lights were indicating errors, reading entry of a PIN digit, etc. so it took me multiple resets to finally get it right. I'd also point out one glaring security goof--the keypad inside cover includes instructions for how to change the PIN, change battery, etc. which is handy once you've buried the original manual somewhere you'll lose track of, but those instructions also include how to do a factory reset and includes the factory PIN. Not only does that label need to come off, but it also means anyone who simply looks up the freely available installation manual can learn the factory PIN trick. That's about as secure as making your default login credentials "pa$$word"... Overall, though, it's extremely quiet, smooth, works fine, so I'm happy with the purchase.

Great product for the money and is very quite running!! Durable and is easy to install.

I got this during Prime day to replace a 20 year old chain drive lift master. This has a vastly stronger motor, it's got battery backup and you can set up Amazon in garage delivery or allow others to access it which is higher security. Plenty of options and it's a straight forward install. The only thing that could be a concern is the sectioned tube vs a one piece rail. For the price difference, I rolled the dice on this unit and so far, it's been so much better. It's quick and quiet. I was surprised at how compact the motor assembly is compared to the chain drive that was only 1/4hp. Functionality is spot on.

I am amending this review after a saga of trying to get Genie to honor a warranty. I have spend hours waiting on the phone and chatting. They won't honor the warranty unless I can get Amazon to show on the invoice that it's new, even though I bought it from Amazon's Genie Store. Amazon doesn't know the condition, of course, and how many items actually print "new" on the invoice? I spent a long time chatting with Amazon, but I understand why they don't have this info. I just had to do this as Genie insisted. Check out online reviews of Genie and you'll find Genie will do anything to get out of warranty work. ---- I bought two units, and they worked well for a month. Now the lights on one won't turn off. I hear a click from the relay, but the lights stay on. I did some reading and found others with the same issue. This is going to be a real pain to take it down for the warranty work. I didn't install it myself. The installer complained it took him twice as long to install it as most openers, but I don't know why. Maybe it's harder, or maybe he wasn't as familiar with it, although that is his primary job. The openers work fine and are quiet. I found the app easy to set up, and the features are really good, especially for scheduling. It is lacking the ability to turn off the lights, which is a big miss. Another issue is the automatic close. I have the doors close after being open for 15 minutes, but that time should reset if someone crosses the light beam as that indicates people are going in and out. That doesn't matter, only the 15 minute timer, but it's easy to disable that, at least. It was a pain getting the opener to sync with my Subaru Outback 2016. I could only get one door synced, which was all I really cared about. I'm not sure what exactly got the sync working, but I spent over an hour working on it. I don't know if what made it tough was the opener or the Subaru or the combination of the two.

This Genie 7155-TKV opener is a high-end Genie opener suitable for anyone using a folding seven-foot high door. It will handle an eight-foot high door with an optional extension kit. It will handle single or double doors. Two doors require two openers. This model includes the ability to check door status and operate the doors remotely via Wi-Fi. It's compatible with Homelink, the most popular vehicle remote integration, and Car2U, if your car uses that. It's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant so you can talk to your openers, too. The opener is very quiet, emitting only a gentle whine while operating. The noise you hear is largely determined by the door itself, so you should make sure your door is lubricated to reduce any squeaks. The rollers will still rattle in the tracks, and the hinges will make some noise, too. They say you can reduce the roller noise by trading out your metal rollers for nylon ones, but I've not tried that. Bottom line, if you're coming from an old Craftsman chain drive as I was, the noise reduction is striking. Included are two keychain-style remotes with visor clips, an outdoor wireless keypad, and a wall controller that also controls the lights, and can disable the opener, which you might want to do when traveling. Installation is relatively easy if you're patient and good with basic tools and a drill. The documentation is very good if not perfect, and there are videos, and even a Bild app you can use to view and identify every part while rotating the images in 3D. Much of the work is done on a ladder. The parts are bagged according to the current installation phase, though a few parts are in separate bags. I noticed that the belt was a little tighter when mounted to the ceiling than when it was initially installed, so you don't have to try too hard to get the belt exactly 1/4-inch above the bottom of the rail initially. Two sensors are installed at the bottom corners of the door, and Genie says you must use their units. The sensors are plastic except for their mounting brackets. You may want to add protection to the units and the exposed wire connections. If you install two openers for two doors, please look deep in the instruction manual to see how to install the transmitters and receiver sensors so there is no interference between doors. I missed this, but installing two Genies contrary to instructions has not caused a problem. [EDIT] It turns out that I left the force test 2x4 between the two inboard sensors, just where it shielded the two door's sensor from each other. When I moved the board, one of the inboard sensor's LED blinked, indicating an error. I relocated the sensors as recommended in the manual - both RED LED transmitters inboard, and the two GREEN LED receivers outboard. All's good now. The sensors are for safety, and I believe the opener will not work without them. I had a problem programming one Genie 7155 because of an apparent misalignment between the plastic programming buttons and the tiny circuit board mounted switches that actually do the work. The plastic buttons are relatively hard to press because they are simply molded parts of the plastic enclosure. I finally had to remove the enclosure and press the circuit board buttons directly. DON'T do this with your fingers, as you can't be sure there isn't harmful voltage somewhere on the board. I used a pencil with a rubber eraser. After I explained the problem, Genie was happy to supply a replacement enclosure which worked correctly. I don't have much respect for this button design, but you may not have this problem. Wiring the units involves running a wire pair from each sensor to the motor unit, and another pair from the wall controller to the motor unit. Genie supplies a very delicate wire and little nail-clamps so you can anchor the wire to walls, ceilings drywall, joists, or what have you. Connecting these wires to the motor unit was annoying, as you have to use a screwdriver to depress the tiny contact lever with one hand, insert one or two wires with the other hand, and hang onto the ladder with the other ... well, you get the idea. It's a good idea to twist the wires together before you insert them into the contact, per the instructions. One reviewer said he spent an hour on this single step. It's not quite that hard, but there must be a better way. Setup involves first setting the up and down limits. It's important to know that holding the button down will move the door continuously. You don't have to move it in multiple small steps until you reach the end. Setting the down limit seems to be critical to whether the door will pass the force test, where you put a two by four under the door, and verify that the door will reverse when it impacts the 1.5 inch high two by four. I did have trouble passing this test, as the door would only reverse on objects somewhat taller than 1-1/2 inches. Try setting the down limit again, and repeat the force test. I missed the straightforward analog height and force adjustments on my old openers. Programming was fairly easy. The two supplied remotes are pre-programmed. The outdoor wireless keypad requires a series of steps to program the opener PIN code, and it worked as expected. It uses two AA cells. You can set a temporary PIN for normally unauthorized persons, and it will be deleted once you use the normal PIN. The keypad can also be programmed to open multiple doors, so you don't need two keypads for two doors. Connecting to vehicles with Homelink was easy after the first couple of tries. Essentially, the process is to train the Homelink in your car to the remote, visit the motor unit to put it into the Setup/Program mode, and return to the car within 30 seconds to press the appropriate button Homelink button a couple of times. Connecting to the internet provides a few conveniences. Wi-Fi setup instructions are presented by the Aladdin Connect App. Follow the instructions, and allow the temporary connection to the specified Wi-Fi. It's important to be patient after connecting to your Wi-Fi, when the unit attempts to connect to the Internet, as this can take a few minutes. A strong Wi-Fi signal seems to be important to reliable connection. Only 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks are supported. The blue button and the status LEDs for Wi-Fi/Internet setup are under the left bulb shroud as you look toward the garage door. There's a gray button there too. Genie told me it's only used for troubleshooting purposes as instructed by Genie customer service agents. When Wi-Fi is connected and the opener lights off, you'll see a green glow in a dark garage. This means Wi-Fi is connected. The last step is to install the battery backup, which will be easier if you drill small starter holes to assist the two "self tapping" screws which anchor the bottom of the backup unit to the motor enclosure. You'll thank me for this. Genie literature suggests the backup will last up to 50 cycles. The box says it will last "up to 30 cycles after 24 hours loss of power", perhaps because some battery power is drawn by the circuitry while idle. The battery is a sealed lead acid type, I believe, which typically require replacement every 3-4 years. You can use the app to see whether the door is open or closed, and put it up or down. When remotely operated, the opener beeps loudly, while flashing its lights - there's no question that something is about to happen. It takes a few seconds for the signal to traverse the internet. The best feature for me is the ability to apply "Rules" to the door. For example, you can set the door to close if it's open between specific hours. No more leaving the door open accidentally! There's a 30-day log of door operations, which includes the source of the open/close commands. The app is simple and easy to use. I did not try to connect to Amazon or Google Assistant, as I didn't think I would use it. I've read that, for security, you have to tell Alexa a code, so it's just as easy to grab your cell phone and use the app. Bulbs are not provided. Genie heavily promotes using their 60-watt equivalent Genie Garage Bulbs. Some folks using other LED bulbs have reported problems with impaired remote range, caused by unintended radio frequency energy emitted by some LED bulbs. This will depend entirely on the specific LED bulb circuit design. Since I wanted a brighter bulb, I tried using Walmart's top of the line Great Value soft white 100 watt equivalent bulbs - the ones rated at 1600 lumens, 18 year life, and for moist environments. These cost only $3.74 each when purchased in a pack of four, and could easily last the life of the opener. They don't affect the remote range, and with two openers I can really light up my garage. One other advantage of this high-end unit is better warranty coverage, which is lifetime for the belt and motor, 5 years for parts (to include the circuit board, I suppose), and 1 year for accessories like the controllers and remotes. Recommended.

After many years of getting out of the car to open and close the garage manually I’ve decided to install the Genie Stealth garage door opener. Honestly, best money ever spent! I have a double garage wood door that is quite heavy so I decided to go with the stealth and it 1 1/4 hp. My ceilings are quite low and the clearance was literally millimeters for clearance. The install was quite easy and took approximately 2 hours to complete. The instructions on the BILT app was super helpful! Setting the travel limits and programming keypad/remotes was a breeze. Backup battery works well. Also, the Aladdin Connect app is easy to use and works great. I didn’t bother investing in the Genie “quiet light bulbs” and threw in the rough service incandescent bulbs from the dollar store. My only complaint with the unit was the wiring provided….they could have made the black wire a little more easier to identify. Anyhow, I’m just happy that my garage door works great and super quiet!! I’m hoping to have many years of good service with this unit and strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a more powerful lift at a decent price.

Es un producto bastante bueno, genial el tema de la ALDDIN, la app por celular. el único inconveniente fue que no se consiguen las extensiones del riel ya que mi portón necesitaba más apertura, sin embargo se pudo adecuar con un buen herrero otro, aun que causo más costo pero buen producto.

I brought this garbage door opener few days ago it’s really easy to install and working condition is very smooth. I am very happy only one thing I have to request if you can produce 220V power supply then is better for Others

Very quiet working. Installation very easy, bat connection for car very difficult. Only YouTube help me fully program. On the cellphone install program: "BILT" for installation. I Recommended this program for installation. Original manual it is a bull sheet.

Exelente producto. Silencioso. Fácil de instalar. El único detalle es que tuve que pedir la extención para que diera los 8 pies y lo tuve que pedir por US pues en Amazon México no lo encontré. Funciona muy bien con internet.
