Are Jackshaft garage door openers reliable?

Jackshaft garage door openers are the most common type of wall-mounted operators. Traditionally used for commercial applications, jackshaft openers have gained popularity for residential applications because of its exceptional security, smooth operations and long-term dependability.

Does the LiftMaster 8500 have Wi

Wall mount design frees up ceiling space in your garage, reduces noise and vibration. Built-in Wi-Fi® allows for smartphone control with the myQ® app.

Is LiftMaster or Chamberlain a better garage door opener?

While LiftMaster door openers tend to be aimed at the professional market or people with large garages, Chamberlin openers are better suited to you if you're interested in DIY or have a small garage.

What horsepower is the LiftMaster 8500W?

The 1/2-horsepower motor lifts doors of all sizes, even tall doors that other openers can't lift, as long as they have torsion springs. The LiftMaster 8500W is extremely expensive, costing around $500, which is almost twice as much as our pick for the best garage door opener, the Chamberlain B970.
