Garage door opener

Easy to install, works well and is relatively quiet.

Works Great. Easy to install

1/2 HP Chain Drive opener

The good: easily replaced old unit that broke after 16 years of use. Works well and is fairly smooth and quiet.The bad: Is not backwards compatible with my old "grey button" remotes on my other door. Universal remotes are extremely overpriced, 3 remotes would cost more then the opener. VERY disappointed in this aspect.

New Motor for door

Garage Door opener works great as it should..same quality as the expensive ones

1/2 HP chain drive garage door opener.

easy to install. store had it in stock, our old one was worn out completely, so was needing one quickly. Took about an hour to install.

Affordable and Quiet

This opener replaced our old one from 1998 that died on us and model was discontinued. Purchased this brand thru my home warranty company and can't believe how affordable and QUIET it is compared to our old one. I definitely recommend using Sear's installation, these guys really know their stuff, friendly, professional and priced fairly.

1/2 hp Garage door opener

This is a good opener at a good price. Fairly easy to install. I have done a few before.

Had trouble with the light

Worked very well for about a year. The it stared burning out lights within a week after a new one was put in. Mechanically it works fine, just no automatic light when activated.

Great price, great product!

We purchased this as a gift for a friend's home, very good. We installed it and it's up an running perfectly in a few short hours. Good instruction manual. Do buy!

Great Basic Door Opener!

I purchased this to replace the craftsman opener I had put in 17 years prior. I was very pleased that 1) it fit into the old system perfectly (thus did not need to rewire, or update the chain and rod), 2) it is very quiet and 3) it has a motion sensitive light that helps in getting to and from vehicles in the garage. Definitely an improved design to it's predecessor yet form, fit and function are identical! Very happy with it.

Garage opener

Needed to replace an old garage door opener and did not need a lot of extra features such as key pad or tons of horsepower. This unit installed relatively easil, the price was right and it works just fine.

Good Directions - Poor Packaging

When I opened up the carton and pulled out the styrofoam molded case the door opener module that goes on the wall fell out and it appeared to be missing the backside. The carton looked like it had been previously opened because there were staple holes where staples had previously been. I found out later after reading the manual that the wall module comes without a back and is just screwed onto a wall with no back. So initially I thought I was going to have to take the door opener back to Sears. The door opener assembly & wiring takes about 3 hours plus an hour to take down the old opener. The motor runs quietly and I hope it lasts as long as my old 28 year old Craftsmangarage door opener.

Good value

Works well, easy to install. A good value for the price.

Every home should have one!

Great and very functional product. I especially like the anti burglary feature on this model. Nice upgrade. We have the older version and are pretty satisfied with it. Only thing different is the new anti burglary feature.

Good opener

Excellent

This product was very easy to install and directions were straight forward. Very quiet for a chain drive system.

Great Garage Door Opener

Very easy to install and works great

Poor design

This was my thrid Craftsman garage door opener purchased through the years..The first two units had an on/off light switch on the main door opener switch. This unit does not. After a short time the light goes out. There is no way to keep the light on. This missing feature was not noticed till the installation was almost complete. I would have never purchased this unit had I known it was missing, this important feature.I am very disapointed, as this is the main light source for my garage.Shame on Sears/Craftsman for allowing this opener to be sold with your name on it. Because of this unfortunate purchase, I will have to hire an electrician to install a separate light fixture to correct this problem. What is most upsetting, is that your cost for providing this unit with a light switch feature would be pennys. Shame on you. It will probablly cost me more for a separate fixture than the cost of the opener. .
