Maybe he's referring to the Wayne-Dalton iDrive, which mounts on the
wall immediately above the door. It took a while to get ours working OK:
the one we bought apparently was old stock of an earlier design, but WD
sent a new controller board and light unit at no charge.

Very quiet, but not cheap. You'll find a variety of opinions online if
you Google "iDrive."

We are planning on buying a house but the garage door mechanism is covering
most of the attic door entrance. Basically, the attic is unusable because
of it. The inspection guy was going on about some new garage door type
opener which mounts near the door itself and therefore wouldn't be in the
way. Has anyone had any experience of these and how much they cost?
