| My craftsman died and Lowe's is having a $69 install special. Should I buy the Chamberlain 1/2HP Belt Drive:
http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=248739-3 8782-248739&lpage=none Or the Genie 1/2HP SCrew DRive:
The sales associate is pushing the Genie but I saw that another Chamberlain was rated very highly at ConsumerResearch, theWD822KD. They are comparably priced and I need one ASAP. What would you do? |

| Its a great question. I have had Sears openers in the past. They all seem to last 7-10 years. The last 2 I bought were Genies. They work great so far. I have a friend who is a contractor and he will only use Genies. Toss up I think. |

| Both of my Genie screw drive openers have been working well. |

| I bought the Chamerlain from Lowes at the same time of your post. I just put it up and I am very happy. The belt drive is almost silent. |
