Chamberlain Wall Mount myQ Garage Door Opener, Battery Backup

It's been only a few days since I installed it but I'm at 5 stars right now. Only time will tell how well it holds up. Two major things to know judging by the comments I read before my purchase: 1) There are no install instructions in the box. But once you get this thing unpacked and download the free BILT app you'll never want to see another paper install manual again. The step by step 3D instructions on the app are the best assembly instructions you could ever ask for. Comprehension and install was a breeze. 2) For all you deep analytical types - it doesn't 'mount' on any surface. The entire weight of the unit is supported by the spring shaft itself. You just slide the opener onto the shaft toward the drum. After that there is a small bracket you attach to the unit with (2) supplied machine screws. Then you use (2) larger wood screws to fasten the unit to the stud that your garage door track is mounted on. This keeps the unit from moving to and fro when in operation. That's it. The rest is a cakewalk. When opening or closing you cannot really hear the motor running as the sound of the garage door itself moving up down is louder than the opener. All in all - quiet. Programming and adjustment is also a breeze. The included light is operated wirelessly by the wall controller. You can turn the light on and off manually but when you walk into your garage from the house the light automatically turns on which is a nice feature - and it will automatically turn off after 4 1/2 mins. After WiFi setup you can open and close your garage away from home using the MyQ app and you'll also be able to set up Amazon garage deliveries. I'm really enjoying our new opener. It works great and I highly recommend it!

I recently purchased this unit, and it has been a fantastic addition to my shop. The first thing that impressed me was the clear and well-organized instructions that came with it. Setting it up was straightforward, and I was able to get it running smoothly without any hiccups. The performance of the unit is outstanding—it's both fast and remarkably quiet. Whether I'm using it during the day or at night, it operates efficiently without any disruptive noise. The accompanying app is another highlight; it's incredibly easy to use and adds a level of convenience that I really appreciate. Navigating through its features is intuitive, making the overall experience even better. One of the unexpected benefits was its space-saving design. This clever feature allowed me to install a taller door than I originally thought possible, enhancing both the functionality and aesthetics of my space. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a high-quality, efficient unit.

Easy to install instructions were great. Could not get it to program. Tech-support was on the phone with me for an hour. They were wonderful still could not get it to work. They said send it back. Unit was defective. Ordered another one installed within an hour works great love the garage door opener would recommend it.

Very easy to install with limited mechanical experience, very very comprehensive install video on line, very smooth and very quiet, love the self lock , the safety beams lined up instantly, lots of spare wire for all the parts that need to be connected no matter the size of the doors, great price for what you get, the included light could be brighter but as it is not the main shop light it was good for remote access and having light as the door opens, the remotes work well and the MyQ app is really useful

I only give this 4 stars as it doesn't come with an installation manual and it requires that you use the BILT App. I did look for instruction that I could print but was unable to do so. The BILT app requires an internet connection so I'm not sure what one might do if they live off the internet grid. The only issues I had installing it was that the end of my door's shaft was buggered up so I had to use my grinder wheel to smooth that out so that the coupler would fit. Then the Safety Sensor brackets would not snap over my tracks so I had to mount them to the wall that the track is mounted to. BILT tells you to refer to options in the installation manual -no manual was included, so I mounted to the wall. They lined up so I didn't have any other issues adjusting them. Another issue is that the Terms of Use and other conditions associated with the "myQ" app indicate that Chamberlain may in the future charge for use of the app! Just what we all need, another subscription! No thank you. This app is for the purpose of operating your opener remotely (as in another place entirely.) So, those are my only issues with this unit. Now for the good things: Probably the easiest installation for an opener as long as you have the clearances needed. You install the coupler to the unit, then slide it over your door's shaft, make some marks for the screws for the lower brace, drill some holes, tighten everything up and your done with that. The unit does not need to be flush with the wall. Its weight is mostly supported by the door's shaft and only braced on one side. Next you mount the control, which I put right below the unit -mainly because I didn't want to have run wiring any further. Then you mount the door lock -yes it comes with an automatic door lock. Then the sensors and then the remote light. Adjusting the UP & DOWN limits is easy. Even without printed instructions (my preference) the BILT app lets you go forward and backward as needed to accomplish each step. The most arduous task is running the wires for the sensors, control and lock. This unit includes a Battery backup so it will operate in a power outage. When your installation is complete and the battery has had enough time to charge, you should unplug the unit so that you can test the Battery operation. The remote light can be mounted anywhere within 6 feet or so of an outlet and there is a motion sensor that turns it on even when the door opener is not running. This unit is very quiet for an opener. It has some features like auto closing that can be programmed or not used at all. There are too many options for the various features to mention in my review. If you can deal with using the BILT app I do recommend this opener.

I needed more over head space so I was looked into a side mount garage door opener. I talked to a local garage door repair service and they quoted me $1900 for a liftmaster. They said a liftmaster was a must because I had a wooden custom garage door and it was too heavy for a chamberlain. It is 16’x7’. Curious that they recommend liftmaster and the only place to get liftmaster is from them. The chamberlain website says it can lift 850lbs. I went for it and self installed the chamberlain. It’s very powerful and actually lifts the door much faster than my older chain type. Pros: Powerful, quiet and gives much more room overhead. Comes bundled with battery backup, remote control, smart WiFi light and door lock. All those are extras with the liftmaster. Cons: Older houses are set up for traditional openers. That means having to extent wires from where the old opener was to the new opener at the door. Also will need an outlet near the door.

If you're thinking about installing a wall-mounted, or "jack shaft" garage door opener, don't sleep on it! Our old, ceiling-mounted opener shook the whole house when the door was opening. This wall-mounted Chamberlain is so quiet that I can only hear it if I'm in the garage. It is truly remarkable! It is very easy to install, as well. If you're comfortable measuring, planning, and drilling a couple of holes in wood and metal, this will be a very easy job for you; just make sure that your garage door is mounted on a torsion bar, as it's not compatible with other types of garage doors. You may need to adjust the torsion spring tension to make sure that the opener doesn't get overloaded. As for the "smart" features, I don't really care for MyQ – it's a pretty mediocre app, and I really don't like the fact that they completely restricted the WiFi operation to be used only by the MyQ app. However, I really didn't buy this for its WiFi connectivity, and I mostly choose just not to use it. Without the "smart" features, this opener is perfect!

Super easy to install. The app for directions made everything kindergarten level. The opener is super quiet. Opens and closes the door with ease. I have two car garage single door. Comes with enough wire to rewire the garage if needed. Bluetooth connection was easy and fast. The automatic lock is nice to have. It auto locks and unlocks, but it can also be done manually. The battery backup is good for power outages. I’ve gone through multiple garage door openers over the years and this is by far the best one I’ve had.

Funcional y muy buena calidad
