Agree that the Chamberlin belt drive or their DC chain drive are the way to go. Either way they are MUCH quieter than the old MVP units. In the past few months, we have replaced ours, DC drive in our main house and the belt drive in another home we have here. Both were done by Scott's Garage Door Service. Price about $550. installed. Cost for the new systems parts only run $350.

I recently had mine replaced with a Liftmaster by Scott's Garage Door Services. I love it. It is very quiet uses the MyQ app to control the door from the phone & participates in the Amazon 'in garage delivery' program. It came with new remote controls, a new wall controller, & a wall pad. The overhead system has better lighting than the old MVP, which I appreciate. The whole setup has been working flawlessly, & Scott & his crew did the install quickly & efficiently. Highly recommend.

I forgot to mention it is the new belt drive, not chain. |

Update: I was in Home Depot on Sunday and they had a sale on openers and installation. Purchased a Genie belt-drive unit with $99 install. I will let you all know how it goes. I don’t think that I would ever use the wi-if so I did not get one with that option.

Thanks for the info. I may be in the market myself. Will be interested how installation turns out.

I love the wifi part of it. It’s a peace of mind thing. You get somewhere and say to yourself “Did I close the garage door?” All I have to do is look at my phone to find out. If I left it open I can close it from the app.
