The CHAMBERLAIN B1381T Smart Garage Door Opener is the perfect choice for those looking for a reliable, easy-to-install and easy-to-set-up garage door opener. This model features three 100-lumens LED lighting for optimal visibility, a built-in max lift power system for effortless lifting and reliable performance, and a battery backup for accessibility during power outages. It also has an ultra-quiet, strong belt drive and 1.25 HP motor, as well as a wireless keypad and myQ smartphone control. With all these features, the Chamberlain B1381T is one of the best Garage Door Openers available. kmweaver8313kmweaver8313: The media could not be loaded. I’ve read many of the reviews on this garage door opener. So I knew what to expect with it. The high pitch is not that bad and it, honestly, is quieter than my 15 year old chain drive unit that was there previously.
Before, aside from having the jolting when opening and closing, we could hear the garage door across the entire house (1700 sq ft). Now, we can barely hear the garage door in the living room (right next to the garage) and, because it’s DC powered (has a ramp up & ramp down in power), there is no more jolting of the door which prolongs the life of the door its self. Another thing to consider is belt drives last longer because there is not the wear of gears on gears that chain drives have.
I love that it has a sensor to turn the light on so when I walk into the garage, I don’t have to remember to turn on the lights if my hands are full.
The one thing I have noticed is that it is slower in raising and lowering the door, but that doesn’t bother us. It still only takes about 10-12 seconds to raise or lower it which is not bad. There may be a setting we could adjust to give it more power so it’s faster since this...

Adam V. Floyd: After receiving a bid of $2,000, I replaced my two Lift Masters with these Chamberlains.
Install went smoothly, decent printed instructions, the BILT app instructions were cool and a first for me.
The openers are very quiet and provide decent light. The smart features are underwhelming open/close the door remotely and provide notice when opened/closed. There’s no whole home integration and you can’t program the opener via the app.
The housing is plastic instead of metal and the opener rail is a little flimsy on my 8’ door. I ended up resting the Lift Master rail which required a little bit of retrofitting. However, for the price, I can’t complain.

T. Gannon: Firstly, I should say that the motion detection feature does not apply here- the opener shipped with a notice that the motion detector was control was not available due to supply chain issues. To Chamberlain's credit they made a very easy to use website to request a replacement when it becomes available. On the downside, who knows when that will happen. I won't fully complete my install until that arrives.
This was bought to replace a Genie gear drive model from about 15 years ago. I was hoping for quieter operation, better lighting, and updated connectivity. It delivered pretty well on these items.
For my install, I benefited from the existing hardware and did not need to make any major modifications. Instructions were very good, but I wish the print was larger... Wear your glasses at all times.
Things I really like about this opener: Very quiet as advertised. The motor has a somewhat higher pitch than I expected, but overall very preferable to the low but intense hum of the Genie gear drive that was replaced. I should note that I replaced the original rollers with better sealed bearing models around the same time so the overall noise reduction is a...

Ryan: The 1381 was a significant upgrade from my previous chain driven garage door opener. The belt drive is very quiet and doesn’t sound at all like my previous door opener which growled like an un-oiled 50cc two stroke. Install was a little time consuming but simple enough, all the wires used for the garage door opener are basic double wires so with some marretes or in my case some solder you can reuse any previous garage door wiring. It should also be noted the exterior combination controller works with a 9v battery and is wireless. Some of the features I found about after the install were; The safety sensors come with mounts that clamp directly onto the garage door rails really nice if you have exposed concrete foundation where the sensors are supposed to be. There are multiple settings available from the LCD door opener time/battery reserve/an auto close timer 1-5min/remote lockouts/and quick programming of new remotes and their features (lights). Programming the door raised and lowered heights is accomplished digitally directly on the motor and was also very straight forward. A lot of the complementary apps that allow you to control your garage door through wifi are pay to play...

Paul: I replaced two older openers with two of these products and couldn't be more happy! The iPhone app works flawlessly which is a great feature you didn't know you needed. The wall mount openers are sensitive enough that I never need to flip the garage overhead lights on. And the LED lights provide more than enough light to see whatever I need in the garage. I decided to replace my rollers and clean the tracks from the years of grease and grim before this installation and it is truly whisper quiet. Would highly recommend.
