Great video! Thanks for the great information!
I had mine installed a couple of days ago. My wife and I love it! The lights are excellent. For those who dislike the camera, just keep it tucked into the unit. I too have other cameras around my house, but what can having one more hurt. The opener is extremely quiet. I’m fine with all the cardboard used. I assume it’s to keep the unit safe during shipping. Let’s just recycle ♻️ and reuse it.
Hello! Happy to hear you are enjoying your new 87504. And thank you for sharing on your good points. I have a review of this motor coming out soon.
Great opener.
Is quiet, does not shake the whole house like the old screw driven opener. Use of myQ is convenient.
Works really well. I'm happy!
Hello! It's a great piece of tech. I am glad you are happy with it. Thanks for the feedback! Stay safe!
ALL YOUR VIDEOS ARE GREAT KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Thanks!
Great information and great video quality Santiago! Jervis Systems access management app sounds like a party!
Thanks Amber! Y'all stay safe!
Good job on the review.
Thank you!
Have fun taking the op apart. There are so many pieces because of the metal case . We had a camera not work I got so frustrated with the cover I just exchanged the motorhead lol
Oh wow! Yeah I have a future video planned on the ability to repair this motor. I had heard it was gonna be harder.
I love the lighting
The lighting is killer. And I believe it's brighter than 2000 lumens I have to further test.
Very nice review! Also great product from LiftMaster! I would definitely choose a toaster over a UFO. I'm disappointed that it didn't come with autolock compatibility.
Hello! I was surprised they ditched the 841LM too. Maybe they are coming out with a better updated version.
The auto locks malfunction constantly…. “ service tech “ 🤷🏼♂️
There are many different opinions on this motor. I love the 360 Light, MyQ, Key, Belt, T-Rail, and Camera. The color would definitely blend in with a lot of things including my walls and trim in my garage. It would’ve been a better idea to use all metal with this unit. I find this unit a lot louder than others on the market today. Speaking of noise, I really liked the level of sound on the 8355. I would’ve kept that on the market plus the addition of the 86504. That would’ve allowed customers to buy a cheaper motor if they don’t want all of the special features of the 87504. I wish this sounded like the 8355. I already have other cameras around my house including in the garage, so I wouldn’t pay for another camera subscription with LiftMaster. I would probably only use the attached camera when receiving deliveries. There are many good things that I like LiftMaster is doing to keep them at the top of the garage door industry, but my only main concern with this is the noise. Looking at your review of this operator, and others as well, I might have to figure out a way to keep that plastic flush with the unit itself when I purchase these for my doors, because it seems to make a huge difference, but still seems a bit louder than the 8355. I also really liked the front to back orientation of the 8355, but the way they designed this just makes the side to side look very cool. For some reason, I just don’t think this operator is meant for a 16x7. Anything heavier than an 8x7, just makes the motor sound absolutely terrible. When there’s a lot of weight it has to pull, it just makes a weird whining noise. Thanks as always for a Great review, and I cannot wait to see what these bring when I install them on my two 8x7’s.
Great video! How does the pricing of the Liftmaster 87504 compare to the B6753T? Right now the Chamberlain can be purchase for $299.
Hello! That's a great deal. The price is close once you apply the labor cost to install the Chamberlain motor. But if I had the choice I would go with the LiftMaster 87504.
Hey! Great video! My family is looking to buy 2 garage door openers and we are thinking between the Chamberlain B6753T and this Liftmaster. Which one would you go with?
Hello. LiftMaster ... it has better build materials, comes with a one piece rail assembly, and offers all there accessories you need to operate.
What did you decide on?
I'm happy with my openers!
(Needed two)
Great video! Does this come with a one-piece rail? As a homeowner, can I purchase it for a DIY install?
Hello! Yes it does. And I believe the motor is available through Amazon, what I am not sure is if they offer the rail assembly with it. But any avid DIYer could handle the installation easily.
About the opener not being compatible with the auto lock… it must just be on this model that they changed it. I just bought a LiftMaster 87802, and it has auto lock capabilities, as well as the connecting port for one.
Interesting. I have yet to install that model. I will have to check it out.
Wish the Liftmaster and Chamberlain and others were Google Home and Apple Home compatible.
They’ll still include the 841lm with the jack shaft openers, right?
Correct. That hasn't changed yet.
I definitely prefer Chaimberlain's front-to-back light orientation over the Liftmaster in my 1-car garage that's longer than it is wide. For colors of the body itself, I'd prefer a medium silver over any other color. Why? It will show dust less than any other color.
Thanks for the feedback! It didn't dawn to me that some garages are longer in length and thus a front to back orientation would work better for those needs.
Two remotes!
I have a 87504-267 Should I put a lock to the gate at nights for security or can I leave the gate without a lock?
Hello! No you should be ok without the lock. It was an option that they dropped in their newer line of motors. LiftMaster feels you don't need it.
I had the 87504-267. I went back to the 85503. The problem with the 841LM is that it was cheaply made.
Hey Sam! I think it was for the better.
@@sosgds Are you saying that the 85503 is better? If so, why? Are both still available? Thanks
@@miked7766 Hello. Sorry for the confusion. I was actually addressing Sam's comment about the 841LM. This was the automatic garage door lock that was implemented on the older LiftMaster motors. But that lock was plagued with a number of quality issues. Thus the new motor or the new line of motors from LiftMaster no longer will include the connector for that automatic door lock.
As for the quality between the 85503 and the 87504 ... Well I do miss a number of things of the older model, such as the color of the housing and a slightly quieter motor. But they're overall experience and reliability is the same. You won't be disappointed with either choice.
That jervis voiceover was pretty slick... how long did you work on it?
Hello. I forgot I still had that ad spot on the video.
We're motorizing a solid wood two-car garage door for the first time in it's life. We would like to stay with MyQ as we have at our other home, but I am concerned with selecting the right opener for longterm operation. Do we choose LM 87504, LM 8587WL, Chamberlain B4613T, B6453T?
Hello. Good questions. Is your solid wood garage door a roll up door? Do you know the size of the door?
@@sosgds 7' height but I didn't measure the width, 16-18'? Am also open to the wall mount options but my wife prefers using MyQ for letting people come & go when we're away. Didn't read issues with Chamberlain RJ070 but LM 8500 sounds hit or miss. Just need a quieter motor option that has app integration & wont struggle with a wooden carriage door (4 panel).
@@sosgds also I spoke with Genie CS about their wall mount opener and they dissuaded me from using it in my wooden door application, though local LM installer did not say wall-mount wasn't advised. Any insight?
Is it Homelink compatible? (Button on my car's rearview mirror)
Hello. Yes it is. Well ... it should be. Some cars are not compatible due to an upgrade to their software. If your car is a recent year model, you should be ok.
Anyone know what the color temp of the LED's are on this thing? Can't seem to find that in any spec, and with 5K bulbs that I use elsewhere, would be nice for it to match. Thanks!
Great question! At 2000 lumens this LED runs cooler than other brands. I'm no expert in light color science but It's between 3500 to 4000 Kelvin.
@@sosgds
Called LiftMaster, after doing a chat with Chamberlain side with no help, and they told me 5K. I was able to get them to email that in writing as well. So will be ordering this opener soon, and if its not 5K, at least I have some kind or recourse. I use 5K myself in the house and garage, etc. so this would be perfect for me then anyways.
. Works great. Does anyone know how to remove the light covers on this unit? Need to replace the bulbs
Hello Roger! How long have you had this motor? I have yet to replace the built in LEDs. I guess I could make a video about it.
@@sosgds I have had it for one week. The remote doesn’t work when outside the garage. Works great when right under it. I think the led lights might be interfering with the frequency. Thought?
@@roger346 Yes, that does sound like that might be the issue. It could be that the simple RF shield could help with the signal. Do you have any other LED lights in or near your garage?
@@roger346 Here is a post of a homeowner that had a similar issue, but his motor is the Chamberlain retail version. In the description he says that he ultimately had to change the brand and model of garage door motor. Yet the solution he offers could provide you guidance. Hope it helps.

If you could pick a garage door opener color not an option what would you get or half
I think I would own this motor, the LiftMaster 87504. Yet I think my money is on the Genie 6170HB wall mount motor,
@@sosgds why that model the Genie 6170H-B Wall Mount Garage Door Opener
I just uploaded a video on the reason why.
Is the rail on the LiftMaster 87504-267 made of metal or plastic? I would like to see a review comparing this Liftmaster model compared to the Linear LDCO863B . I like the lighting in the Linear model but I do not like the plastic railing. Are there any advantages to a plastic railing? are they quieter? how do they hold up compared to a metal railing?
Great question! I can definitely work up a comparison review on these two motors. But to answer your main question, the rail assembly to the 87504 the G2777 is a steel metal rail. Now the Rail to the Linear openers are also metal but the trolley carriage is made of hard plastic. The LiftMaster rails are very durable. The Linear rails are good yet I have seen a few failures to the trolley carriage. Yet these failures are associated or caused by the garage door.
@@sosgds Thank you so much for your reply. If you were to do a comparison review, when would you anticipate this may occur? I am torn between these two models as there are features I like about both. The Linear model has a brighter light and seems like it may be quieter; the battery looks harder to remove and replace; the trolley is plastic. Regarding the Liftmaster I do not need the camera which is one of its top features and from the reviews it sounds like it is noisier. The rail is very durable and the battery looks easier to remove. Durability, reliability, quiet, lighting and ease of battery replacement are key considerations. We are looking for an overhead mounting system. Given these considerations are there any strong reasons to prefer one to the other? Your reviews are great, honest and clearly set out. They are really helpful in making informed decisions.
Does this replace the 85503? Their website still shows both.
So, the 85503 is just an older version of the 87504? Only diff I can find is LED lights on the 87504? But, both are still sold by liftmaster? THX!
Correct. The 87504 has built in LEDs. The cameras are the same. Aesthetically, the 87504 has the new design. LiftMaster has discontinued the 85503.
So far all our customers have had no interest in cameras on their operators. They usually have security systems that monitor their entire property .
Hello! Thanks for the feedback. In light of the customers not wanting the camera do they prefer to go with the 84501. I was so bummed they did not offer this motor in CA.
Maybe I'm a caveman just entering the 21st century, but I don't have security cameras everywhere. I like the fact that come installation (sometime in March '22) I'll have security cameras (plural since I have 2 separate doors) in my garage. Cameras aren't a #1 key selling point, but the whole package of cameras, wifi features, Amazon Key, battery backup and 360-degree lighting make this a good choice for me.
I am looking for a replacement motor normal 2 car garage 7’ high that is quiet (current motor might be 30 years old and very loud) that enable Amazon Key and the hard part is “Hey Siri, open the garage door” so I don’t need an outdoor keypad. I don’t want Google or Alexa. Seems like that rules out Genie.
Hello. Very good question. Like with many Apple products, you will need to use a bridge to communicate with their OS. It will require that you use the MyQ Home Bridge along with Apple's Home Kit. Once you marry the two devices with their software then you will have the ability to work along with Siri. I have yet to install a Home Bridge for a customer but I do here that the operation is seamless. Thus if utilizing Siri within your Smart Home ecosystem is a priority then a Genie motor is not the way to go.
I’m not really a fan of Liftmaster anymore because first off their motors are loud as can be louder than 8550s and louder than 3850s and 2850s and my 2265 it’s probably the same noise level
This unit does a lot of good things, but ....
You need to know LiftMaster does not connect to 95% of vehicles in North America.
If you own anything other than Mercedes-Benz, Tesla or Mitsubishi you will need to purchase old-school remotes that clip onto your sun visor. I suggest you store these remotes out of view or security reasons.
Yeah, I know you can open/close your door with the MyQ phone app, but I do not drive around, like a loser, with my phone in my hand. (My phone is kept in my pocket.)
Edit: The camera is pretty much a gimmick to push you to subscribe to LiftMaster cloud storage. They should have included a SD slot where video files can be retrieved at the owners convenience, like any $50 WI-FI camera.
Thank you for your very insightful feedback! I really like your idea about the SD slot. It gives more options to homeowners that live in sketchier neighborhoods.
The wifi connection is super fast.
Super fast! It's under the 5 minutes they are claiming.
Can't get this thing connected to wifi, it shows the network but never asks for the password
Hello Sam. How close is the router to your garage? Have you called LiftMaster tech support? In some cases they might be able to help remotely with the setup. If they are not able to help then it might need a new logic board.
@@sosgds I was saved by an Amazon reviewer, they explained you must only use 2GHZ, only use WPA2 encryption not mixed mode and then finally you need to turn port forward on for port 8883. After doing all that it began behaving normally asking for a password and connecting. Kinda nuts really but whatever.
That is correct. It will only connect with the 2.4 Ghz, but I didn't realize it had to go thru all those other hoops. MyQ usually connects within 5 minutes.
Can a homeowner buy a lift master, I know i can buy a Chaimberlain I have one I installed that needs replaced and think I’d rather have a LiftMaster
Hello. Yes a homeowner can. In a few of my videos you can use the affiliate links to purchase from Amazon. The rail assembly is hard to come by. Based on the height of your garage door you will need to find a one piece rail from a dealer or online. For a 7 foot door you will need the G2777.
@@sosgds What about an 8 foot door?
@@shanew7361 For an 8 foot tall door it's the G2778.
@@sosgds I purchased this unit thru Amazon. Before I ordered it, I verified that our local Liftmaster dealer would sell me the rail assembly. Anyone considering buying this GDO via Amazon, don't bother trying to order the rail assembly online. The package is too large to ship via FedEx/UPS, it has to go freight. The cheapest shipping quote I got for the rail was almost $300, which is about four times the cost of the railing. One vendor quoted me $2300 for shipping! Hope that was incorrect but I didn't bother asking that vendor.
@@davegratz5895 Thank you so much for the feedback. I didn't know that they were charging so much for shipping. Both of these vendors were out of state?
