SKYLINKATR-1622BK Atoms 1/2 HPF Garage Door Opener with Extremely Quiet DC Motor, Belt Drive, Built-in LED Light, Remote Controls, Keypad Keyless Entry, Deluxe Wall Console, White

Ok.. so first off i read alot of reviews on this opener and compared it to some of the more popular name brands. My previous screw dribe genie was super loud but did the job for 19 years. Lightening struck in the neighbors back yard and zapped the old genie. So.... i began researching and ran across these.. and im glad i did. Installed it last night by myself.First... it came nicely packaged.. nice and neat. All parts enclosed.Keep in mind i was replacing an old one.. so i had to add another anchoring point for the head of the opener (which was determined after i put together the atoms opener and made a few measurements).Assembly was super easy and it was no problem to hang after I measured where it needed ilto be hung from the ceiling of the garage.I have not installed an opener in 19 years but it was very self explanatory after the limited directions got me started. When i say “limited” i mean limited.... they covered most of the install but some things left me thinking i had missed a step... but i had not.. they just didnt cover it. You tube will cover anything that is lacking in the paper instructions.With that said.. the install was not that hard even though i was doing it by myself ( two people for the job would be awesome).After it was installed and programmed it is awesome!! Lifts my sectional metal door for a two car garage with ease and does it super quiet. The light button on the wall mounted control was unresponsive initially but after an hour it started working with no issues.If it keeps working like it initially does i will be well pleased.I dont Normally write reviews but i wanna brag on this unit. Even if you dont wanna do it yourself it is worth buying and paying someone to install it.Will update if anything changes.The video was to show that you cannot hear the unit... just the squeaky door than i need to oil.Since it has been i stalled for less than 48 hrs.. i have not had to contact customer service...

I read many reviews, both good and bad, before purchasing and was a little concerned about the issues in the negative reviews. As a result, did a bunch of research, watching instructional videos, etc and I took a chance. Started the install at about 10am and finished at 5pm. Two trips to the hardware store and about $50 in various stuff including wire molding and clips to secure the bell wire, angle bracket, and nuts and bolts.Some issues that weren’t covered in videos or instructions.Mounting the motor: I definitely recommend having a brace to the side of the motor in addition to the two braces included (see photo).Drive belt: make sure you have the union of the belt about 2 feet from the door when you install it through the pullies on each end.12 volt connections on the motor: there are small buttons above the holes where you insert the wires. Depress the button with a small screwdriver, insert bell wire, and then release the button.The end result was great. The programming for travel and force was straightforward as was the programming for the remotes and the keypad. The unit works perfectly and is so quiet. The bell wire is a bit of a rat’s nest but it is all on the ceiling.I’ll try to update in a month or so.

The first time I ever installed something like this, took me about 6 hrs, I have tools I’m a mechanic, but still had some challenges, because the manual had many mistakes, probably a language issue. For example, the programming of the cars. I had to write them an email about it, took a couple of days, but responded, of course with a much better version of the programming. Otherwise it’s working really nicely, quiet, and small, hopefully it will last a long time.

This is truly an amazing product . And i wont be surprised at all if this starts replacing chamberlain/craftsman as the product of choice. I recently bought a home in AZ that came with a three car garage, of which one had to be manually lifted. I researched a ton of different products and eventually settled on this. First off, it comes with everything you need except for the ceiling bracket to install the motor to. I bought that separately, and I bought a door and attachment bracket that I didnt need because the product included it. I started installing it yesterday afternoon and after 4 hours, got about half way thru. I started again this morning and 5 hours later, had it complete. I could probably do it in half the time now that I know what Im doing. Throw away the paper instructions and google the install video for the skylink belt drive diy. Follow the video and it becomes really easy for an average diy-er such as myself. this product and the hardware set me back 250 bucks. The cheapest garage door company that offered to install a motor came in at 1500 not counting the cost of the motor. I truly love this product, and my wife has already spent the money I saved toward a new refrigerator :-).Update 48 hours later:The door worked fine the first day, and then the second day it started behaving weirdly. The door would open fine, but 30 seconds after it closed the light would start flashing and it would show error code C on the unit. And it would be impossible to stop it from doing that unless you unplugged it and plugged it back again. I went thru everything, from reprogramming the unit to rewiring the motor. All to no avail. As a last resort, I reversed the polarity (even though it was polarity agnostic) on the motor as well as the wall unit. And voila, it started working again. And, touch wood, no issues the past 2 days.
