The installation of this kit is a nightmare. I am a very handy 68 year old male and have installed many garage door openers. When you open the box the first thing you notice is that their are lots of small parts that need to be put together. Some of the parts like the tracks have other parts hidden inside them which once put together you can not get at. It looks like Chamberlain decided it was cheaper to have their customers assemble their garage door opener then do it themselves. There is absolutely no reason that many of the parts are not assembled.
Once you do assemble the door opener you find that you are required to go to the store for some additional parts that are not included such as those that attach the opener to the garage door itself.
When you open the box their is a green sheet of paper which says if you are having trouble do not return the unit from where you bought it but call their 800 number for help. When you do call the 800 number you listen to a recording that tell you to go to the Internet to find answers to your problems. (They assume you have an INTERNET connection) If you try to go to the "0" to get around this very long talk it just starts the talk all over again. After listening to everything and deciding which of the 7 options you should choose it then puts you on hold and no one ever answers. I called twice and gave up after being on hold 15 minuted each time.

-- Garage door opener kit, not a garage door opener
this garage door opener was easy to install, and operates smoothly and quietly...a great improvement over what we had before. It arrived from Amazon very quickly. -- terrific garage door opener
Arrived very quickly, used one night to assemble the track actuator etc. in the house, second night to hang the entire assembly, very easy to complete the installation and all features work very well. -- Garage door opener
We found the instructions to be good and although we had some trouble because of low ceiling height, we were able to install satisfactorily. If you want a chain drive then I would recommend. I have a Chamberlain belt drive which I really like because of how quiet it is, but this chain drive was much quieter that many of my neighbor's chain drives. -- Nice for the price
I have have bought and installed two Chamberlain 3/4 HP garage door openers on my two wood double garage doors. They were easy to install and have worked flawlessly for the past year. I have just installed this 1/2 HP opener on the third garage which has an aluminum light weight door. The installation again was easy and adjustment quick. This kit is different from the others in that it only includes one remote which has only one button. The others had two remotes and three buttons each. Easy to program the cars and the other button to this door opener. Additionally, there is no lock out button or manual light button with this one like the others, just a doorbell button to open and close it. In short, if this were the only opener that I had, it is a little short on features. Since it is a secondary opener, and works with the others, it is just fine. -- Great Lightweight Garage Door Opener
