Need to replace my garage door opener, and have read about the quietness of
the "Phantom" brand drives by Overhead Door Company. Anyone have any
comments or experience with these?

Be sure to check out wayne Dalton IDrives availiable at Lowes or Home Depot
and wayne dalton stores. We had one put in to my parents place 3 years ago
and will use in my house next time around. Truely unique. They go above
garage door and not on ceiling. Very fast.

And have a VERY small motor which will die in the winter and has an
extremely short range. You almost have to be in teh door before it will
actually open. I replaced it in less than a year. Even the factory reps do
not use this opener!

My parent's unit is on a double wide door and working perfectly after over 3
years. And sensitivity is excellent from the original clicker and various
units built into several cars.

I have had Genie Screw Drives for years and years. I've got one
that's 30 years old and still works on a double one piece door. The
most recent one I bought is called a Genie "Excelerator" or something
like that. It uses a DC motor and opens at twice the usual garage
door opener speed, closes at normal speed.
