Genie’s new garage door opener is full of great features and it’s really easy to install. Check out some of the features below:

I like that it has a 1 HPc 140 Volt DC motor and belt drive that offer powerful and smooth operation while keeping noise to a minimum

I'm most interested in the fact that the door would actually close properly with this opener, my current one has problems closing evenly and usually leaves a gap on one side or the other where the door closed crooked. The single feature that is most interesting is the remote door closure confirmation feature (green lights and tones). Sounds interesting.

The SmartSetTM programming which allows for fast and easy set up sounds the most appealing to me. Anything that is easy to install and easy to program always makes my life easier. Looking forward to learning more about the Genie PowerMax 1500, and hopefully installing one in my garage soon!

I think I like the fact that its so quiet the best. Nothing annoys me more than being woken up when my wife comes home after working a midnight shift by our 20 year old garage door opener grinding, rumbling, and clanking away.
I'm subscribed to your email list with the email address I used to leave this comment.
I would like you on facebook, but I won one of your facebook giveaways and never got the prize, so I figure those are run by someone else and its not worth the click.

I like that it's new, considering my garage opener is so old. It's also super quiet too, which would be nice since my bedroom is next to the garage!
I subscribed to your newsletter via email.
Thanks for the opportunity!

We bought a house with a Genie garage door opener that was installed in 1979 and it's still going strong! I think the belt drive on the PowerMax 1500 would be much quieter so we would look forward to that feature.
