Wayne Dalton garage doors are some of the best in the industry. Model 9700, Charleston panel, White finish, 24 Window Square windows.

I had hoped this would work out, but now I want a refund - we'll see if they come through on this. Model 8450 Luminous, Translucent Black glass. I'm estimating that over the last year, this unit has been down for a total of 3 months. The problem is that every time the motor fails.you're without a garage door opener for a few weeks until the new motor arrives. Getting replacement parts requires you to go through a troubleshooting session (ensuring door is balanced by manually lifting to various heights and ensuring it doesn't lift/fall on its own.) with their CS folks.rightfully so - they want to be sure what the problem is. Their customer support is only open from 8AM-5PM during the week (when you're at work.) and limited hours on Saturday - when you call them, you're put in a queue and you have to be standing at the garage door to give them numbers and then do some troubleshooting with them on the line. Also, once installed it has a very clean looking. They allegedly came up with a new design for the electric motor.but when the going gets tough (cold weather) - this thing tucks its tail between its legs and runs away - even with the new motors. The operation is absolutely silent when compared to my chain drive units, I was very impressed. The biggest issue is mostly just the electric motor. I'm lifting a standard 16' wide x 8' high insulated steel door.and it is properly balanced - so the opener isn't working harder than it has to. In just under a year, I've burned up two motors (under warranty) and 3 months ago they sent me a whole new unit under warranty and just today it burned up again. The design seemed ingenious.and it really is.but their implementation of the motor/gearbox is less than robust. I bought the iDrive because it offered a quick and simple approach to mounting a garage door opener.
