Just installed mine, and overall I am impressed. It is faster than the operator it replaced and very quiet. However, the front LED is not functioning and I cannot find bulb replacement information anywhere in their manual. Installation took under an hour, including my pulling the old operator. All told, this seems like a good unit (assuming I can fix the faulty LED). Thanks for the video.
While one could argue, perhaps, that it isn't a flagship across all brands, but it is certainly Chamberlain's flagship opener. As for the plastic case - who cares? Once it is installed, the case material doesn't really matter. I would have liked the better wall mount controller though - that is a nice feature. The wireless outdoor keypad really doesn't matter - they are available separately and for me wasn't useful as my home already has keypad & wifi locks, so there really isn't a need for the one on the garage. Additionally, for $40, I added Siri & Alexa control over my unit (I really wish My Q would add this). The reality is, even at ~$400, it is still a feature-packed unit and Chamerlain's current flagship with 2,000 lumens, battery backup, camera, two remotes, quiet DC motor, belt drive, etc. I purchased mine from Amazon for $302, which replaced a piece-of-junk Overhead Doors Legacy 650 (home builder installed) that the builder charged $500 for (including installation) and it is definitely no flagship product...
I just got one on order from HomeDepot. Was on sale and included a free Wireless video/remote keypad. I am glad it's not a metal housing since this opener will be installed in our second home near the ocean. One item that won't rust out is a good thing in my opinion.
I'm replacing an old Craftsman 3/4 hp that lasted 20 years. It seems like these new ones have way more geegaws that can go wrong. On the outside, it would be nice to connect via wifi to know if the door is open/closed, and to close it if needed. To me, flagship means robust dependable, quiet operation. Video, especially when battery operated adds a level of complexity/subscriptions/ etc. I would rather put into a home security system. BTW, an old fashioned keypad is a great feature if you go out on your bike and don't have your phone with you. Thanks for showing its true colors.
I am not happy that the on wall controller took away the motion sensor, and the other options, TTC, Clock, Temp, Lock, etc. Instead of making it better like my old HD930, they take away, I am wondering if there is a way to bring these back.
You get the error codes on the phone app and the light is really bright, I do agree on the wireless or lack of wireless door opener as I don’t carry my phone while working in yard.I did how ever special order the one like this with the light on both sides but no camera. I’ve had it up now about two weeks and like it as compared to my old chamberlain with the purple learn button, I am a little disappointed I can’t get my old wireless keypad or remotes to sink with this one though.
Hi, I want to replace my 3/4 liftmaster professional (AC motor) with this unit you feature. Can I reuse my 1 piece rail from the liftmaster and replace the belt with new? Thanks Charles
I see exactly what they did and it helps the installlers they put all the missing bells and whistles in their liftmaster brand so if you want the best you have to call an installer now very interesting
Why do you need LCD on wall button? I mean, button press equals open/close. Why would I need motion, time and temp there? I could see motion to turn on light if it's dark but I have other ways to make that happen. In the market for new openers. Was looking at this model and the liftmaster jackshaft model with deadbolt. You have a review on the liftmaster and the 88LM remote?
Hello Eric. Great question. The truth is now one needs these features. The standard wall button offered for the Chamberlain motors are good for the basics. Yet, the B6753T is considered Chamberlain's high end/high tech model. And in all of their prior models the LDC display was included. Thus the features they offered were a staple. In fact, someone coming from an older Chamberlain to this model might feel they have lost some of the great things that LCD offered, such as error codes when the sensors fail, an eeror code when the door has excessive weight due to a broken spring, and how many cycles the motor has. That last feature is great when gauging the life of your motor or scheduling for a service. True, the LiftMaster MyQ app will now have some of these features baked into the software but not everyone will have the app installed. Now I believe your last questions was about the 88LM? I'm not aware of an 88LM model.
Hola, Santiago, he visto algunos videos de usted me han gustado mucho. quisiera por favor que me aconsejara sobre un motor que quiero comprar y no me dicido por cual, tengo un porton seccional de 16x7 un Chamberlain de 1/2 caballo (C455) y trabaja bien, pero o abro y cierro mucho dicho porton ,es como mi puerta de entrada, y me gustaria tener un motor con SOFT START/STOP porque este golpea mucho al cerrar, que obsiones cree que me pueda aconsejar. Gracias. Manuel
Hello. I just noticed your post. This sounds like a dud motor. Recently I have had these B6753T come with issues out of the box. I would call Chamberlain support to get help with it or at the very least a warranty replacement.
I would suggest the best opener for your needs. Do you prefer a quiet opener? Are you looking for an opener that requires low maintenance? Do you have sufficient overhead space? The list goes on.
Wonderful! Chamberlain offers some great installation videos on their site and thru RUclips. They also have great 3D instructions on the BILT app which is free.
Great video and thanks for showing the learn button. Doesn't look like this is compatible with my Eufy garage controller. Probably because it has it's own smart features. I'd be interested in a step or 2 down from this opener. I don't want an integrated camera or battery backup. I use Eufy for monitoring and can pull the rope to manually open the door if needed in a power outage. I'm also ok with a simple wired button because not everything needs or should be wireless. I'll see what their other models offer.
I buy in Canada carry it home to Jamaica and come to find out the Jamaica cycle and Canada cycle is different Jamaica use 50 HZ and Canada use 60HZ so it’s not working. Please what can I do. Is not the same one you have there now but it’s a chamberlain
Hello. Thank you for your question. Unless the specs to the garage door opener specifically say that it offers an AC motor, every DC opener will offer 600-800 newtons. These openers can handle most garage door needs. Yet I would consider a different option if your garage door is a very heavy custom wood door. Here's a video that might help: ruclips.net/video/WOb8HuQLdg0/видео.html
The camera offers excellent quality. It's a good image. And it can provide you notifications in real time. Yet if you wanted to store video in the cloud you would have to pay for that subscription.
I’m pretty sure that while Chamberlain doesn’t include the display wall switch, the existing 880LMW wall switch is compatible and will add those additional features to this opener.
@@sosgds Love your videos. I would prefer the LIFTMASTER 87504 for the single piece rail and 360 lighting. Do you have my idea how, as a consumer, I can purchase the 87504? I prefer a diy install. Dealers want $800-$900 for this unit installed.
Hello Michael. Amazon does have this motor available for sale yet the rail is not included. Coincidentally I have a final review video of this motor coming out soon. Probably by this weekend.
@SOSGDS Hey Santiago, thanks so much for another great video. So I would like to do a DYI replacement for my old Genie noisy Screw Drive on my 7' two car garage door. I made the mistake of buying a Genie 1055 belt drive unit and returned it as the motor hum traveled through my house worse that the old unit. This unit will sit below bedrooms so I am looking for the quietest unit I can find. In your opinion, what is the quietest, dependable unit in the US market? Bells and whistles come second to a quality QUIET unit. Thanks in advance for your help!
Hello Kevin! Thanks for the question. I responded in depth to your email. But in my professional opinion the Marantec garage door motors are practically stealth machines. They are a tad slower than the competitions but they get the job done.
Hello! Thanks for the great question! The B6765T was my favorite retail motor of 2021. It had it all, mainly the older Chamberlain style design. The new B6753T is the newly designed motor. It's a good motor but I preferred the B6765T. The main differences will be the design and the fact that B6765T will fit a one piece G2777 rail easier. Plus the LED are 3000 lumen. They both share the same DC motor, the same camera, and the same overall experience.
Great question! The B6753T is being discontinued. The new high end Chamberlain opener is the B6755T. It's supposed to have better WiFi capabilities from what I understand.
Wireless keypads are a pain in the aspen. They're confusing on how to program, and it doesn't take long before you have to reprogram it to work with your opener. I would like to know if it works well with a 16' garage door (2 car garage)?
Hello! Great question. Now just to be clear, what are the specific dimensions of your garage door? Is it 16' wide by 7' tall? Or is it perhaps 16' wide by 8' tall?
I am watching from Australia and I am quite excited that it has a DC motor because better chances of being able to import one and making it work with the local electricity i.e. 220-240V
Hello. That's a very good question. One factor that you want to take into account is your specific garage door wait and the configuration of the track assembly. Additionally you also want to take into account if your door is older and if it's recently been serviced. But once those things are in place my honest opinion is that the Marantec garage door opener motors offer the most quiet travel experience for trolley motors. If you're looking for a wall mount garage door opener motor then you could go with either the genie 6170 or the liftmaster 8500 w. They're both relatively quiet.
Hi I got installed chamberlin garage door opener #B4603t it has light in the back side of opener/ other option is B4505t it has light on both right and left side of opener. would u recommend installing B4505t
Hello. There are a variety of garage door motors that are quiet, powerful, and reliable. If you don't care about a camera feature or builtin LEDs then Genie should work just fine for your needs. If you care about bells and whistles then Chamberlain is the way to go. If you want the ultimate proline experience, LiftMaster is a solid choice. But now, do you know if your garage door has any special needs like a low head track assembly? Do you have limited overhead space?
@@sosgds no special features that I know of I plan on living in this home for 15 plus years si I want least amount of issue and quiet operation my master bedroom is right over the garage. The current one is a chain drive its about 2 years old and works fine but the noise is very disturbing. I do like led and camera but it's not necessity if it comes with the unit then I'm fine with it and I don't mind spending the extra money as long as I get something that's going to last a long time with the quietest operation. Thanks for the reply
I have a 12 year old belt drive chamberlain and it's belt decided to start straying apart. (8ft belt) chamberlain covered its lifetime warranty and sent a new one. I just ordered a 1 1/4 hpe motor and hope to get reliable service from it as well. The old opener is starting to make noises and I feel Ive got my money's worth out of it. Hopefully chamberlain doesn't disappoint
Great video! I am buying a new home and am looking for a wifi smart garage door opener with a camera for my home. What is your opinion on the best currently available? Thanks!
Hello! What type of garage doors are you having installed? The best garage door is one that will fit your needs. Thus if you are looking for more security, a wifi motor with an HD camera is a solid choice.
Hey Santiago, I have a question for you. I just purchased this model and have gotten as far as installing the motor and rail system. I'm in a new build with (conveniently) comes pre-wired for a garage door opener. I noticed the wall control panel has two wire connections. Fortunately the builder just ran a single wire for the wall panel. I have attic access to the garage and can see where the wire goes. Would it be as simple as running the wire that came with the motor into wall box instead of the current one? I was hoping it was a bit easier to get to the down access. That part is behind dry wall, but I figured I could use the current (useless) wire to pull the other one down. I feel like it is as easy as I make it out to be, but would love your opinion on it. Thanks! Philipp
Hello! I wonder if they just used a brown bell wire. You should be able to open the plastic sheath to see if you have sufficient wiring to connect your motor. Otherwise you might have to run wiring along your wall.
@@sosgds Thank you for that. I am actually trying to have them replace the wire entirely and have the warranty cover it. talked to my neighbor he had a 2-poled wire in there. So they definitely did something different for me.
I’m ordering a 16x8 double steel insulated garage door. The vendor is trying to sell me an additional lift master. I told him I already have this Chamberlain opener. He advised me against it because my door is heavier and the multi interconnecting rails would fail. Not sure if he is upselling me to go with his single rail lift-master. Is this Chamberlain opener sufficient for my new garage door?
HELLO! Thank you for reaching out. May I ask what brand and model of garage door you are ordering? Will the door be a 2" polyurethane insulation? Do you know if you need a standard 12" track radius? These factors are important but they will not necessarily determine if you should go with LiftMaster. I believe the one piece rail that LiftMaster offers is a benefit. Yet, the pieced rail from Chamberlain will hold up for many years to come. Now you did mention that your garage will be 16 wide by 8 high. That detail is important. The Chamberlain motor will only offer a 7 foot rail within the box. You will need to purchase an 8 foot extension kit from Chamberlain to accommodate for the door height. Thus that would be an extra cost. In fact he could offer a one piece 8 foot rail and install it on your Chamberlain motor. But I recently did a video on how the one piece rail is no longer "perfectly" compatible to the Chamberlain line. You can watch that video here: ruclips.net/video/brM2Law-iPM/видео.html Ultimately, it will be your decision to go with the retail motor vs the pro motor, albeit the missing extension kit to ensure that your pieced rail will work on your 8 foot tall door. If the price is not astronomically more, then it might be worth considering. The truth is, these DC motors on both Chamberlain and LiftMaster are virtually the same. They will sound the same. The will work the same. You can't go wrong with either motor. I hope this helps.
@@sosgds Thank you so much for your input. I’m aware that I need an extender for my 8 ft garage, but I got the chamberlain on clearance at Home Depot for $100 (insane steal) for brand new. The garage will be steel backed with 2 inch insulation. Its a CHI skyline model with 4 vertical windows.
Wow! That is a killer deal. Honestly I believe that Chamberlain motor will do just fine. The contractor is gonna have a hard time beating that deal. I would just charge you in the proper fee for installation and hope that you call back for future service repairs.
Can you come up to Mendocino and bring me a garage door? Our local shop has given us an added 4 month ETA on a Wayne Dalton door. SO FRUSTRATING! Any suggestions to get a door on our house within a month or 2? You’re videos are TOP NOTCH and a SUPER helpful. ANY FEEDBACK IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thanks, Vicky
Thank you so much! Unfortunately we are going thru the same issue here in So Cal. Wayne Dalton is in my backyard but they still have a 10-16 week lead time on all of their doors. What's worse is that some of the orders are showing up incomplete or damage. Thus I would have your dealer installer double, triple, even quadruple check the quality before they turn it over to you for installation. I'm sorry I'm no much more help than that.
Love the video, supper helpful! I just moved to a house with 3 craftsman premium openers circa the 90s (spring system) Do you feel like it’s worth it to drop 870 for 3 of these (on sale) or simply integrate something like a MyQ control for 60 bucks until the garage doors kick the bucket?
If you can do everything by yourself - don't even hesitate to replace them. The MyQ integration kits are not good, you'll hate the actual user experience every time you have to tweak them.
That is a fantastic price! I believe they will be phasing this opener out soon. There should be an upgraded model coming out. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Great review. But what about the camera feature? what view does it provide? Is it just from the housing to the garage door, 180 degree or does it give a 360 degree view?
Great questions. I have review the prior motors model from Chamberlain and LiftMaster that had camera. The field of view is 140 degrees. Unfortunately the camera is not motorized but it can be moved manually. It offers two way audio and you can get a live feed. For a fee it will also store footage in the cloud for you. Hope this helps!
@@sosgds they only provides two slim metal hangers. it was enough for me to cut into vertical hangers for the opener. i have the hanger kits from homedepot. because i have a finished basement. good thing they provide a long enough metal hanger for me to screw into the beam.
I totally agree with you. Chamberlain needs more tech in their products. Especially the outside keypad. I wish it had Face ID and a Finger print scanner, so no more cover your left hand over the numbers while you use your right hand to input the garage code. Also, wish the camera was 4K and dome style with PTZ, with motion detection and color night vision. Along with everything else you said in the video, then I would purchase this product.
left hand over the cover ? is your keypad mounted in times square who is going to see you entering your code and furthermore how many people are willing to spend a grand on a door opener with all this technology apparently not enough or it would already exist!
@@alanhaas8056 Technology is advancing every year. And I live in a townhouse where we live all connected together, and people use cameras. The keypad for the garage door opener hasn't been updated in 45 years! And who said it would cost $1,000 dollars?
Hello. Excellent question. Based on my research these motors are only offered in North and South America. The promising thing about this is you might be able to import a 220v version of these motors. Unfortunately I don't have a contact for you on where to buy.
This has been a step backward for me, I really wanted to like it, but the remote controls that come with it will not work unless I am standing directly under the motor? And forget about training it with the HomeLink, I even purchased the "bridge" thinking the HomeLink on my Tesla Model S was an older version. It consistently fails to work with anything but the Wifi application. The icing on this horrible cake happened today when I arrived home and using MyQ app I received the "Server Error" message. I had to leave my car, go inside my house, to the garage, and open the door with the wired button. It really defeats the reason for having a garage door opener. I purchased this new at Costco, the absolute worst thing I have ever purchased from Costco.
Yikes! The is narrative is becoming more and more common. I have had several viewers reach out to me about this issue. May I ask you a question? .... Do you have any other LEDs in your garage? Do you have any other WiFi, Bluetooth peripherals in your garage door space?
@@sosgds basically lol n i have 2 of them lol so i can walk one, n leave out the garage, then when i come in through the front door, they look at me confused lol
I just bought this and will have a tech install it. I've had my house since 2010 and the garage door opener never worked so we always closed and opened it manually so I decided to go all out and get this. I hope it works out for me because I did pay 451 since I got the 3 year warranty and after my Veteran discount at Lowes!
Hello. Good question. It's a solid HD camera. It offers a clear image and 2 way audio. It works great with MyQ and Amazon Prime members. They have paired technologies with a feature called Amazon Key. Hope that helps.
need help got this one, was working fantastic till we had a power out, now I can't get it back online!!! called tech and they can't help. it's been 107 days 😪 and for $400 that's not cool.
They left some upgrades for the pro side on the 87504 (metal cover, keypad,880lmw,360 leds, 1 piece t rail) I appreciate what they did for us. The only infuriating thing is that they lie about the hp rating. I'd say for retail openers this is a flagship .
Hey Cody! I agree with you about the clear distinction between Chamberlain and LiftMaster Motors. It's good for us pro guys offering a better motor. It's definitely a good retail motor, but the motor cover gets very dusty over time that is gonna be a problem.
Great feedback! The Genie 7155L would be an excellent flagship comparison. The LEDs to this motor are not as bright as the Chamberlain yet it offers a great customer experience. My choice would be to get my hands on an older Chamberlain motor. The B1381 is a great motor.
Hello. Those are good points. I have yet to experience this issue with this motor. How long after did you have the remote range issues after in the initial installation?
Newtons is meaningless for all motors because they produce torque and power, not force. All motors are measured in Watts and Newton meters, unless you are in the US in which case it's horsepower and ft.lbs. 745.7 W = 1 horsepower. So if they are claiming 1.25hp it should be a 932 Watt motor. Torque defines how hard it can twist, power tells you how fast under load. Torque curves on electric motors depend on the type and construction. DC motors generally have massive torque at zero speed and fall off as speed increases, because power is a product of torque and speed. Both are important, unless you can wait all day for the door to open. 932W is quite possible in the size of motor used, but they do say equivalent to, so obviously they are being economical with the truth. Anyone with a Voltmeter and an ammeter could find out for sure. Hmm, it doesn't move very fast. Maybe 1/3 hp?
I have one step down from this, the B4643T, and it's a piece of junk. Flimsy steel rail instead of aluminum, plastic gears and release, flaky software. Have to purchase subscription to get video. Camera cannot be rotated, it only points straight forward. Install instructions on tension adjustment were way off. It's just not built very well and I don't expect it will last. My old Overhead Door openers were much better built.
Just installed mine, and overall I am impressed. It is faster than the operator it replaced and very quiet. However, the front LED is not functioning and I cannot find bulb replacement information anywhere in their manual. Installation took under an hour, including my pulling the old operator.

I purchased mine from Amazon for $302, which replaced a piece-of-junk Overhead Doors Legacy 650 (home builder installed) that the builder charged $500 for (including installation) and it is definitely no flagship product...
I'm thinking that those who really need the LCD readout on the wall mounted controller are not using their app.

Are the integrated LED lights replaceable WHEN they burn out?
Yes. Easily. I think.😂

How about the camera? How much video can you store? Is a subscription required?
The camera offers excellent quality. It's a good image. And it can provide you notifications in real time. Yet if you wanted to store video in the cloud you would have to pay for that subscription.
You didn’t mention the battery backup, during power outages the battery will run the door up and down up to 40 times.
That is a great feature. I did not know about that the BBU offered 40 cycles. Thanks for the feedback. The community appreciates it.
I’m pretty sure that while Chamberlain doesn’t include the display wall switch, the existing 880LMW wall switch is compatible and will add those additional features to this opener.

Hello Michael. Amazon does have this motor available for sale yet the rail is not included.
Coincidentally I have a final review video of this motor coming out soon. Probably by this weekend.
4:14 4:16
@SOSGDS Hey Santiago, thanks so much for another great video. So I would like to do a DYI replacement for my old Genie noisy Screw Drive on my 7' two car garage door. I made the mistake of buying a Genie 1055 belt drive unit and returned it as the motor hum traveled through my house worse that the old unit. This unit will sit below bedrooms so I am looking for the quietest unit I can find. In your opinion, what is the quietest, dependable unit in the US market? Bells and whistles come second to a quality QUIET unit. Thanks in advance for your help!
Hello Kevin! Thanks for the question. I responded in depth to your email. But in my professional opinion the Marantec garage door motors are practically stealth machines. They are a tad slower than the competitions but they get the job done.
Hi bro, may i ask you what are the main differences between the b6765t vs b6753t?
Hello! Thanks for the great question! The B6765T was my favorite retail motor of 2021. It had it all, mainly the older Chamberlain style design. The new B6753T is the newly designed motor. It's a good motor but I preferred the B6765T. The main differences will be the design and the fact that B6765T will fit a one piece G2777 rail easier. Plus the LED are 3000 lumen. They both share the same DC motor, the same camera, and the same overall experience.
What is the Difference between a Chamberlin B6755T & B6753T?
Great question! The B6753T is being discontinued. The new high end Chamberlain opener is the B6755T. It's supposed to have better WiFi capabilities from what I understand.
@@sosgds looks like it was the B6755T that has been discontinued, not the B6753T.
Wireless keypads are a pain in the aspen. They're confusing on how to program, and it doesn't take long before you have to reprogram it to work with your opener. I would like to know if it works well with a 16' garage door (2 car garage)?
Hello! Great question.
Now just to be clear, what are the specific dimensions of your garage door?
Is it 16' wide by 7' tall?
Or is it perhaps 16' wide by 8' tall?
@@sosgds 16’ x 7’
Just got one today lol my tenants will love it lol
I am watching from Australia and I am quite excited that it has a DC motor because better chances of being able to import one and making it work with the local electricity i.e. 220-240V
What's the quietest opener on the market?
Hello. That's a very good question. One factor that you want to take into account is your specific garage door wait and the configuration of the track assembly. Additionally you also want to take into account if your door is older and if it's recently been serviced. But once those things are in place my honest opinion is that the Marantec garage door opener motors offer the most quiet travel experience for trolley motors. If you're looking for a wall mount garage door opener motor then you could go with either the genie 6170 or the liftmaster 8500 w. They're both relatively quiet.
These dont have external antenna right? Have you found a way to increase the short range ?
Hello. I believe the antenna is hidden. This motor has two frequencies that should offer better range.
Hi I got installed chamberlin garage door opener #B4603t it has light in the back side of opener/
other option is B4505t it has light on both right and left side of opener.
would u recommend installing B4505t
Hello. Yes the older Chamberlain motors are definitely worth getting. The newer motors all depend if you get a good deal on one.
These retail for $680 here in Canada...I scored 2 for $550 each installation included.
That is an excellent price!
It's definitely hard to beat here in my area. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Costco warehouses are selling it this week for $319
What garage door opener do you recommend I'm looking for the quietest powerful and reliable performance?
Hello. There are a variety of garage door motors that are quiet, powerful, and reliable. If you don't care about a camera feature or builtin LEDs then Genie should work just fine for your needs. If you care about bells and whistles then Chamberlain is the way to go. If you want the ultimate proline experience, LiftMaster is a solid choice.
But now, do you know if your garage door has any special needs like a low head track assembly? Do you have limited overhead space?
@@sosgds no special features that I know of I plan on living in this home for 15 plus years si I want least amount of issue and quiet operation my master bedroom is right over the garage. The current one is a chain drive its about 2 years old and works fine but the noise is very disturbing. I do like led and camera but it's not necessity if it comes with the unit then I'm fine with it and I don't mind spending the extra money as long as I get something that's going to last a long time with the quietest operation. Thanks for the reply
I have a 12 year old belt drive chamberlain and it's belt decided to start straying apart. (8ft belt) chamberlain covered its lifetime warranty and sent a new one. I just ordered a 1 1/4 hpe motor and hope to get reliable service from it as well. The old opener is starting to make noises and I feel Ive got my money's worth out of it. Hopefully chamberlain doesn't disappoint
Great video! I am buying a new home and am looking for a wifi smart garage door opener with a camera for my home. What is your opinion on the best currently available? Thanks!
Hello! What type of garage doors are you having installed? The best garage door is one that will fit your needs. Thus if you are looking for more security, a wifi motor with an HD camera is a solid choice.
Hey Santiago,
I have a question for you. I just purchased this model and have gotten as far as installing the motor and rail system.
I'm in a new build with (conveniently) comes pre-wired for a garage door opener. I noticed the wall control panel has two wire connections. Fortunately the builder just ran a single wire for the wall panel.
I have attic access to the garage and can see where the wire goes. Would it be as simple as running the wire that came with the motor into wall box instead of the current one? I was hoping it was a bit easier to get to the down access. That part is behind dry wall, but I figured I could use the current (useless) wire to pull the other one down. I feel like it is as easy as I make it out to be, but would love your opinion on it.
Thanks!
Philipp
Hello! I wonder if they just used a brown bell wire. You should be able to open the plastic sheath to see if you have sufficient wiring to connect your motor. Otherwise you might have to run wiring along your wall.
@@sosgds Thank you for that. I am actually trying to have them replace the wire entirely and have the warranty cover it. talked to my neighbor he had a 2-poled wire in there. So they definitely did something different for me.
I’m ordering a 16x8 double steel insulated garage door. The vendor is trying to sell me an additional lift master. I told him I already have this Chamberlain opener. He advised me against it because my door is heavier and the multi interconnecting rails would fail. Not sure if he is upselling me to go with his single rail lift-master. Is this Chamberlain opener sufficient for my new garage door?
HELLO! Thank you for reaching out. May I ask what brand and model of garage door you are ordering? Will the door be a 2" polyurethane insulation? Do you know if you need a standard 12" track radius?
These factors are important but they will not necessarily determine if you should go with LiftMaster. I believe the one piece rail that LiftMaster offers is a benefit. Yet, the pieced rail from Chamberlain will hold up for many years to come. Now you did mention that your garage will be 16 wide by 8 high. That detail is important. The Chamberlain motor will only offer a 7 foot rail within the box. You will need to purchase an 8 foot extension kit from Chamberlain to accommodate for the door height. Thus that would be an extra cost. In fact he could offer a one piece 8 foot rail and install it on your Chamberlain motor. But I recently did a video on how the one piece rail is no longer "perfectly" compatible to the Chamberlain line. You can watch that video here: ruclips.net/video/brM2Law-iPM/видео.html
Ultimately, it will be your decision to go with the retail motor vs the pro motor, albeit the missing extension kit to ensure that your pieced rail will work on your 8 foot tall door. If the price is not astronomically more, then it might be worth considering. The truth is, these DC motors on both Chamberlain and LiftMaster are virtually the same. They will sound the same. The will work the same. You can't go wrong with either motor. I hope this helps.
@@sosgds Thank you so much for your input. I’m aware that I need an extender for my 8 ft garage, but I got the chamberlain on clearance at Home Depot for $100 (insane steal) for brand new. The garage will be steel backed with 2 inch insulation. Its a CHI skyline model with 4 vertical windows.
Wow! That is a killer deal.
Honestly I believe that Chamberlain motor will do just fine. The contractor is gonna have a hard time beating that deal. I would just charge you in the proper fee for installation and hope that you call back for future service repairs.
What model is the remote from that has all the fancy buttons and lcd screen?
Hello. If you want to stay with Chamberlain then look for the B970. If you prefer LiftMaster then go with the 87504.
@@sosgds thanks. Currently I have linear opener 15 years old. I replaced the belt drive about 2 years ago, can i use my existing belt drive?
@@ForeverYoung904 No unfortunately the Linear belt is not compatible.
Can you come up to Mendocino and bring me a garage door? Our local shop has given us an added 4 month ETA on a Wayne Dalton door. SO FRUSTRATING! Any suggestions to get a door on our house within a month or 2? You’re videos are TOP NOTCH and a SUPER helpful. ANY FEEDBACK IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thanks, Vicky
Thank you so much! Unfortunately we are going thru the same issue here in So Cal. Wayne Dalton is in my backyard but they still have a 10-16 week lead time on all of their doors. What's worse is that some of the orders are showing up incomplete or damage. Thus I would have your dealer installer double, triple, even quadruple check the quality before they turn it over to you for installation. I'm sorry I'm no much more help than that.
Love the video, supper helpful! I just moved to a house with 3 craftsman premium openers circa the 90s (spring system) Do you feel like it’s worth it to drop 870 for 3 of these (on sale) or simply integrate something like a MyQ control for 60 bucks until the garage doors kick the bucket?
If you can do everything by yourself - don't even hesitate to replace them. The MyQ integration kits are not good, you'll hate the actual user experience every time you have to tweak them.
Where can I get that yellow arm you use to hold up the motor for mounting? Looks really helpful.
Hello. It's garage door stand that I get from a local distributor. They don't sell it out of CA.
You could get the Chamberlain B6755T and it comes with the keypad.
Just got this from Home Depot for $297
Installation was on sale for $49
That is a fantastic price! I believe they will be phasing this opener out soon. There should be an upgraded model coming out. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Great review. But what about the camera feature? what view does it provide? Is it just from the housing to the garage door, 180 degree or does it give a 360 degree view?
Great questions. I have review the prior motors model from Chamberlain and LiftMaster that had camera. The field of view is 140 degrees. Unfortunately the camera is not motorized but it can be moved manually. It offers two way audio and you can get a live feed. For a fee it will also store footage in the cloud for you. Hope this helps!
they didnt include the hanger kit
Hello. I am sorry to hear that. I believe you can reach out to their customer service and they might be able to provide you what you need.
@@sosgds they only provides two slim metal hangers. it was enough for me to cut into vertical hangers for the opener.
i have the hanger kits from homedepot. because i have a finished basement. good thing they provide a long enough metal hanger for me to screw into the beam.
Great review. All I can think about is how I want that hat in the back ground. Have a awesome day👍
LOL! That hat has been a trusty companion. It's definitely saved me from a bump or two. Thanks for the support Dave!
I just bought two at Costco for $199.97! Ea... We have to replace both garage doors, so I figured we might as well replace the old 1990's motors too.
I totally agree with you. Chamberlain needs more tech in their products. Especially the outside keypad. I wish it had Face ID and a Finger print scanner, so no more cover your left hand over the numbers while you use your right hand to input the garage code. Also, wish the camera was 4K and dome style with PTZ, with motion detection and color night vision. Along with everything else you said in the video, then I would purchase this product.
Those would be some very killer features.
left hand over the cover ? is your keypad mounted in times square who is going to see you entering your code and furthermore how many people are willing to spend a grand on a door opener with all this technology apparently not enough or it would already exist!
@@alanhaas8056 Technology is advancing every year. And I live in a townhouse where we live all connected together, and people use cameras. The keypad for the garage door opener hasn't been updated in 45 years! And who said it would cost $1,000 dollars?
Please post a video on how people in Europe or Australia/NZ could import one of these? Like how could we upgrade the power cord or adaptor?
Hello. Excellent question. Based on my research these motors are only offered in North and South America. The promising thing about this is you might be able to import a 220v version of these motors. Unfortunately I don't have a contact for you on where to buy.
This has been a step backward for me, I really wanted to like it, but the remote controls that come with it will not work unless I am standing directly under the motor? And forget about training it with the HomeLink, I even purchased the "bridge" thinking the HomeLink on my Tesla Model S was an older version. It consistently fails to work with anything but the Wifi application. The icing on this horrible cake happened today when I arrived home and using MyQ app I received the "Server Error" message. I had to leave my car, go inside my house, to the garage, and open the door with the wired button. It really defeats the reason for having a garage door opener. I purchased this new at Costco, the absolute worst thing I have ever purchased from Costco.
Yikes! The is narrative is becoming more and more common. I have had several viewers reach out to me about this issue. May I ask you a question?
.... Do you have any other LEDs in your garage? Do you have any other WiFi, Bluetooth peripherals in your garage door space?
I love it, it's so quiet that my dog doesn't know when i leave lol
Oh wow! Well we can now say this motor is doggy proof.🤣
Thanks for the feedback.
@@sosgds basically lol n i have 2 of them lol so i can walk one, n leave out the garage, then when i come in through the front door, they look at me confused lol
Great information!
great video
Chamberlain definitely is a little questionable on some things, like with the RJO70 they only give you one single button remote??
I enjoy your reviews and videos. I think the Chamberlain is the best big box store opener. Not a fan of Genie big box store openers.
Hello! Thank you for the feedback. There are some things that I like about both. But I do wish there was more competition.
Great review
I just bought this and will have a tech install it. I've had my house since 2010 and the garage door opener never worked so we always closed and opened it manually so I decided to go all out and get this. I hope it works out for me because I did pay 451 since I got the 3 year warranty and after my Veteran discount at Lowes!
Hello JT. Excellent choice! You can't beat that price in the current market. I hope it all works out well for you.
Well two years later and I just ordered this one for $350 so it went down I guess compared to almost nothing else I can think of.
what about the camera?
Hello. Good question. It's a solid HD camera. It offers a clear image and 2 way audio. It works great with MyQ and Amazon Prime members. They have paired technologies with a feature called Amazon Key. Hope that helps.
need help got this one, was working fantastic till we had a power out, now I can't get it back online!!! called tech and they can't help. it's been 107 days 😪 and for $400 that's not cool.
They left some upgrades for the pro side on the 87504 (metal cover, keypad,880lmw,360 leds, 1 piece t rail) I appreciate what they did for us. The only infuriating thing is that they lie about the hp rating. I'd say for retail openers this is a flagship .
Hey Cody! I agree with you about the clear distinction between Chamberlain and LiftMaster Motors. It's good for us pro guys offering a better motor. It's definitely a good retail motor, but the motor cover gets very dusty over time that is gonna be a problem.
@@sosgds Would you recommend the chamberlain B6753T or LiftMaster 87504?
The next 5 years I hope you can still get a AC motor
$299.99 online at Costco
You know what, I wouldnt mind because I only paid $269 USD for it.
Where did you buy it for that price ?
I need one
Amazon have this on sale all the time.@@krisluykx2554
I paid $320CAD at Costco today sale price from $400
It'd have been a more useful video if you also named the other "flagships" that are better than the Chamberlain B6753T
Great feedback! The Genie 7155L would be an excellent flagship comparison. The LEDs to this motor are not as bright as the Chamberlain yet it offers a great customer experience. My choice would be to get my hands on an older Chamberlain motor. The B1381 is a great motor.
You left out the poor signal strength and hidden antenna that you have to pull out.
Hello. Those are good points. I have yet to experience this issue with this motor. How long after did you have the remote range issues after in the initial installation?
Newtons is meaningless for all motors because they produce torque and power, not force. All motors are measured in Watts and Newton meters, unless you are in the US in which case it's horsepower and ft.lbs. 745.7 W = 1 horsepower. So if they are claiming 1.25hp it should be a 932 Watt motor. Torque defines how hard it can twist, power tells you how fast under load. Torque curves on electric motors depend on the type and construction. DC motors generally have massive torque at zero speed and fall off as speed increases, because power is a product of torque and speed. Both are important, unless you can wait all day for the door to open. 932W is quite possible in the size of motor used, but they do say equivalent to, so obviously they are being economical with the truth. Anyone with a Voltmeter and an ammeter could find out for sure. Hmm, it doesn't move very fast. Maybe 1/3 hp?
Hello. I love your insight. Are you an expert in the DC motor field? Are you an engineer?
I HATE that app and wanted a paper installation manual. 😂
Thanks for your feedback.
Which app did you particularly hate?
Chamberlain had a great color installation guide that they ditched. I do miss it.
@@sosgds BILT
@@Bradimus1 Oh! Now I understand. Yes the BILT app does take time getting used to. They do all they can to free themselves from liability.
I have one step down from this, the B4643T, and it's a piece of junk. Flimsy steel rail instead of aluminum, plastic gears and release, flaky software. Have to purchase subscription to get video. Camera cannot be rotated, it only points straight forward. Install instructions on tension adjustment were way off. It's just not built very well and I don't expect it will last. My old Overhead Door openers were much better built.
I just bought 2 of these for 100$ each!
Incredible! What area are you located (city/state)?
White wash from cam sucks!
Talking about noise and yet doesn’t even do a simple demo in any of the videos
