Secondly, and almost more important than the last, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE APP(BILT) THEY GIVE YOU THE QR CODE TO!!! I followed the paper directions and it got me 95% of the way through. The things I complained about that gave me hell, they ended up being in the app guide as part of the general process. If I could go back, I’d keep the paper on hand just in case, but follow the app description to the T!! I would have saved at least an hour, probably 2.
That being said, if you do that, it is cake.
After I finished the first time following just paper instructions, I hit the button after I plugged it in and it went the back way and stopped when it hit the stopping bolt and the LCD screen said something like, “Motor/opener senses too much pressure, Error 4-2. Refer to Users Manual.” I looked in the users manual and read EVERY single troubleshooting option and none of them were 4-2 and NONE had anything to do with that error. It was 1am so I gave up and went to lay in bed, I opened that app(BILT) for the first time and figured I’d give it a chance and went ahead and went through it. Right off the bat I was mad at myself for not using it to start off with and thought I may figure it out because it’s SUPER EASY/user friendly. Sure enough it had stuff in there that is NECESSARY to successfully complete the install. It was a Mother’s Day present so I rolled my sleeves up and went back downstairs, did what it said and whalaaa! Works perfect and it’s super quiet!
I drove my gals car down the street and hit the button on the remote that came with it and it worked from at least 50yards away(didn’t try any further). That’s solely why I got her this, the old one you had to almost bump into the garage door and wave the remote around just to get it to open. Also, they say don’t use LED lights because it will weaken the remote distance, kind of a downer but unless you wanna dish out another hundred+ then I’d say this is a win!

I purchased this opener for the other side of my garage that didn't have an opener. Both my garage doors were very noisy when opening and closing (it would wake my baby up in the room above the garage) so at the same time I installed this new opener I also lubricated the springs/rails, I upgraded the door rollers, and put isolator bushings on both new and old openers’ mounts (item names at bottom). I then ran this opener beside my 2009 vintage Chamberlain AC Whisper belt drive opener for a couple of weeks.
What really made this opener stand out for my wife and I is how quiet it is, the DC motor has soft start and stop that allows the opener to ramp up to speed. My garage doors are uninsulated aluminum, so without the soft start, my old AC Motor belt drive slammed the door causing a huge racket even with all the upgrades.
With the new opener installed we couldn't hear the garage door open at all from inside the house (neither with the house door closed or in the room above the openers). The quietness combined with the other features caused me to buy another one to replace the old opener (which could still be heard upstairs and inside the house). With the new openers both installed, now my doors both open super quiet, the DC motor is so smooth the only sound is an electric motor sound that reminds me of electric window motors in a car, just slightly louder.
Features:
There really isn't much more you could ask for regarding features. The Amazon listing does a good job of listing them all out. The MyQ WIFI technology allows you to control it from anywhere using the MyQ app, if you want to use it with other devices, you will need to purchase a separate hub. The MyQ app works fine for me, I haven't seen any need to integrate it with my smart home hub or Alexa yet. The wall buttons with temperature read out, clock, and motion sensing to turn on the lights are nice.
Programming:
Having not installed a garage door opener in several years, I was fully prepared for the pain that is setting the upper and lower limits, and the force limits. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I only needed to open and close the door to the points that I wanted it to stop at, test the safety stop and photo eyes, and I was done. All the opener remotes were already programmed from the factory so all I had to do was use the MyQ app to setup my WIFI network and I was done. Once I installed my second opener, I wanted to add the other opener to each of my remotes, this was able to be completed in about 10 seconds from the wall panel, no need to get up on a ladder like the old days!
Installation:
If you are putting in a new opener from scratch it is a daunting task. I was a professional contractor 15 years ago and have installed several garage door openers, and it took me around 3 hours from start to finish. If you are not comfortable with cutting steel strut, locating rafters with confidence, don't have tall ladders, and not so handy with ladders, I would recommend having someone install this for you as it can be dangerous. If you are replacing an existing opener it is a lot easier and it only took me 45 minutes for my second opener that was replacing the existing opener. One other important note DO NOT USE LED light bulbs in the opener. All I had was LED bulbs in my house so I threw them in even though the manual said there could be radio interference, and there was big time. When I would try to close the door upon leaving and the lights were on, the door would not close until the lights went out.
In summary, this is an ultra quiet, feature rich door opener. I was so impressed I replaced a perfectly good opener with a second unit.

But well worth the wait. I had a Chamberlain in one side of my garage and a Craftman on the other the Craftman kept stalling so this was to replace that unit. Needless to say it's impressive..super quiet to open and close and the ability to open remotely great feature.
My daughter is happy as other unit was so noisy it would wake her up when we get in and leave early...no more complaint.. install a week now will see how it holds up.
