I just recently had my entire garage door replaced including new rails. So, I figured I might as well replace the opener as well. I researched the wall mount openers and this one seemed to stand out to me.
I had a ceiling mount motor before so with this wall mount opener, I got to remove all that unsightly chain and track and motor from the ceiling. I got up in the attic space and added an outlet to the area near where the new opener would be placed. (Directly on the torsion bar near the ceiling). The instructions that came with the opener are very easy to follow. I was able to have it installed in about two hours all by my self. That was taking my time and making sure I was getting everything done just like the instructions said. Once installed, setting the limits was extremally easy and done on the first try.
The only suggestion I would make for anyone doing this for themselves, is to go get a cheap metal cutting step bit for your drill to make the hole needed for the automatic lock that comes with this opener. I love that item by the way, as soon as the door closes fully, the lock sends a dead bolt through the rail where you mount it. ...

I installed two of these RJO70 openers in my garage and I couldn't be happier with them! I have one on a standard double door and the other on a single door that lifts up along a vaulted ceiling (instead of 90 degrees). With the torsion springs balanced properly, neither opener has any trouble moving the doors.
The instructions were very clear and installation and set up was a breeze. I've had problems with the cable lifting off the pulley with my old opener, so the tension sensor is fantastic. The included wireless lights are pretty bright, but not quite enough to be the only light in a two-car garage in my opinion.
One of my favorite features is the ability to lift the cover and press the up/down buttons to raise and lower the door from the opener. In my case, one of the openers is on the other side of the garage from the entry door where I installed the buttons and not having to walk all the way across the garage just to open the door is really handy!
This opener is more expensive than a standard belt or chain drive overhead opener but for how quiet they are, the overhead space you free up, and the inclusion of the battery backup for power...

This 18’ door is a chore to open manually…and I do it several times a day. I’m an older guy and things like strength are fading. I really needed to find an opener that fit the size of this door. The door opener was a very easy install and only took about 3 hours from start to finish. Very straight forward. Took more time stapling the wiring in place for a great looking install than to connect and mount the motor to the wall. My only issue was after installing the MyQ app on my iPhone, the visor clip remote control failed to operate the door. Customer service was quickly available to remedy a re-programming need on the remote. This was a simple button press and it re-programmed the remote.
It has the power to easily lift the door and the app seems to work flawlessly in operating and informing me of any activities with the movement. The accessory LED light is great to illuminate the dark space at night and the feedback from the system inside the garage warns of any impending action. For a torsion spring door lift, I would easily buy another if needed. I am very highly satisfied. Saved over $500 doing this one myself. The app allows me to...
