Lets take three very popular garage door opener models and compare their pro's and con's. Especially with machinery as complex and dangerous as a garage door, it's important that potential consumers know what they're buying.
The Sears 2000 model, a chain-drive opener, has become very popular in recent years. It has the bonus of being easy to install, which is great if you're a do-it-yourself-er and don't like giving money out to garage door installation people. On the negative side, however, it makes a lot of excessive noise while opening- it's one of the loudest models on the market.
The latest Mayne Dalton Model gets a high ranking on safety, as well as quiet operation. On the negative side, it is unusually large, unwieldy, and ugly, making it an eyesore and difficult to install to boot. It also doesn't come with a single spare part.
The Liftmaster 2006 has excellent make- it'll be more durable than either of the other two. It also has guaranteed fast and competent dealer/installer service, which unless you're a hardcore DIYer, you'll be glad to have. It doesn't really have many minuses- it's quiet and light. It's not the very cheapest out on the market, but it's not unduly expensive, considering how long it will last.
