1. Genie 7155L-TKV

Super quiet accessories are very cool. 

“Bought 2 months ago do not hear the garage door opening or closing. You can open or close the door from any where with your phone, as well as checking to see if you accidentally left it open”.

Genie Upgrade

“Super easy to install, besides a few challenges on my end which had to do with the fact that I had to work around a pool table directly below it, everything went pretty smooth. The instructions could have been a little more clear on a couple of things, for example: positioning the turnbuckle with the safety release latch, I wasn’t able to position this until I plugged Genie into power; installing the header bracket to the wall, since it was drywall directly behind the midpoint of the door I had to secure a 2×4 to the wall before I could install the header bracket. Huge improvement compared to previous Genie we owned”.

Genie Garage Door Opener 

“The Genie 7155L-TKV is well designed and loaded with features. I haven’t completed the installation yet, but the installation poster and BILT app interactive instructions lay out the process in great detail. 
I don’t anticipate any problems installing this unit. 
Unless you need a $400-$600 unit, I wholeheartedly recommend this garage door opener. Wireless and network capabilities provide great functionality. I honestly don’t know what a more expensive unit could offer to justify the price differential. If you need a garage door opener, do yourself a favor and get a Genie!!”

2. Wall Mount Genie Garage Door Opener

Smooth and Very Reliable Opener 

“We have used a couple of these openers now. We really like the functions and operations of the Genie side mount compared to other options in the market. Install is easier and takes less time to complete, the Wireless Wall Control is great to be able to mount anywhere in the garage, the integrated cable monitoring system and cable keepers make the opener run very smooth and quiet.”

Quick install 

I am a garage door company and I have installed several of these side mount units and they are a fast install and discreetly installed next to garage door instead of overhead. A real space saver!!

Manual Emergency Release 

“I like all the features with this opener.. But I wish they would tell everyone how to use the Emergency Release, in the operation manual on page 2 is the only place it is mentioned, or pictured. It would have been nice to add, “Pull down on rope until you feel it quick.””

The one to get 

“Installation of this opener was very straightforward. Especially with the BILT app that Genie provided. The opener is the quietest opener I’ve ever had. The external keypad opener is by far the easiest to program. Also, the Aladdin Connect and Google integration just simply work. If you’re wondering which opener to get for your 7′ single door, this is the one.”
