CHAMBERLAINB4613T MYQ Smart Garage Door Opener, Ultra Quiet Belt Drive, Battery Backup, 3/4-HP Motor - Quantity 1

After replacing my clunky 20-year-old garage opener with the Chamberlain B4613T MYQ Smart Opener, I’m kicking myself for not upgrading sooner. This device seamlessly blends cutting-edge tech with rock-solid performance. Here’s my breakdown:Pros:✅ Ultra-Quiet Belt Drive: The difference is staggering. My old chain-drive opener sounded like a tractor—this one hums so quietly, I barely notice it. No more waking up the household for late-night arrivals!✅ MYQ Smart Control: The app lets me open/close the door from anywhere, receive real-time alerts, and even set schedules (e.g., auto-close at bedtime). Forgot to shut the door? Fixed it from the grocery store. Lifesaver!✅ Battery Backup (MVP Feature): During a recent power outage, the backup kicked in instantly. No manual lifting or panic—just smooth operation. It runs for hours, and the rechargeable battery is easy to monitor via the app.✅ 3/4-HP Motor: Handles my heavy insulated double-door effortlessly. No straining, even in freezing temps. Feels industrial-grade but whisper-quiet.✅ Easy Installation: Took about 2 hours solo. The instructions are crystal clear, and the pre-programmed MYQ technology synced with my Wi-Fi in minutes. No tech headaches!Final Thoughts:This opener is worth every penny. The peace of mind from battery backup, the convenience of remote control, and the near-silent operation make it a no-brainer upgrade. Perfect for tech lovers, frequent travelers, or anyone tired of garage door noise.

Replaced my 22 year old Marantec opener. This has so much more functions and looks great. Installation is not hard since I re-used existing electrical lines. setup of myQ app and wireless keypad is very easy too. myQ works great and now i can open/close the garage door from my iphone app, and also know the status of the door from my iphone. Should have replaced the old opener long time earlier.The old Marantec was very quiet due to DC motor and belt drive and one-piece inclusive C-shaped track. This Chamberlain is as quiet as the marantec due to DC motor and belt drive, and is faster than the Marantec.motion activated light works well, It's a nice feature to have.

This is the quietest garage door opener that I've ever owned. Installation was easy and instructions were very clear. I really love the tech advantages that Chamberlain has made. All the remotes were easy to install, love the phone app that you can use to open/close the door with, get status etc. Well worth the money for this product. I will definitely be bragging to all my friends and relatives about this product, thanks......

So I bought this about 14 months ago. Literally, right after the one year warranty expired the keypad stopped working. I thought it was the battery, but no. So I read some articles that said that the numbers on the keypad can wear out and to try different numbers. That was the issue. Let me say I am a single person who rarely uses the keypad to begin with, but even if I was a family with a bunch of kids, just over a year is unacceptable. So now I have to think that in another year I will have to spend $50 on a new keypad, and then, what, every 2 years. My old craftsman keypad lasted 20 years and was still working when the opener died.The garage door opener itself has been working well and it is unbelievably quiet. My daughter dropped by to visit one night and came in through the garage. It was so quiet I didn’t hear her coming and almost had a heart attack. My old one always was like an alarm. The WiFi doesn’t work, but I think that’s Comcast’s fault. I have crappy internet service. I digress……All in all a great opener so far, but for the crappy keypad.

This unit has features that provide convenience and security. I have three doors with similar openers. With my iphone, these openers alert me when they cycle. I can see door status and operate them remotely. With many years of using these internet based features I find they are rock steady with almost no system down time.With the battery backup feature DC drive motors are employed and they have acceleration at initiation and completion of the cycles. The motor slowly starts and nearing the end of a cycle, it slows down so there is no start stop jerking. They are extremely quiet. If there is a power failure, the doors still operate. Using provided transmitters, vehicle Homelink or the outside button pad I can gain access to my house even without utility power. The light is bright internal LED.On the negative side, this unit replaces a similar Chamberlain opener made in 2015 which intermittently failed to remember the open/close stops resulting in failure to close. Reprogramming the stops restored function for a few days and then the failure returned. Based on the high cost of a replacement main board, I opted to buy this new opener. So for you math lovers a life span of 7 years equates to about $40/year to own one of these. (I have three).If you want the internet intelligence and do not want to buy a new opener, Chamberlain makes a kit that adds that functionality to a non-smart opener. (Chamberlain MyQ Wi-Fi Smart Garage Door Hub - Model Number MYQ-G0302) I have one of these kits and it integrates into the myQ app perfectly.As far as Alexa integration, I looked at that and it appears convoluted so I didn't lose a lot of time on it.I expected more than 7 years life from my previous unit and hope for 10-15 with the new one. However, in my experience more complexity breeds higher failure rates but buzzers and bells thrill me so I will live with that.
