Best Overall: Chamberlain torsion bar

Buy on Amazon

We are personally inclined towards chamberlain torsion bar, it is not so pricy, but it overachieves its purpose and outstanding in important aspects. A standard garage opener is independent of the torsion bar, meaning it can continue to apply force to the door creating strong seal against the frame and ground. It opens & closes the door, it contains a motion sensor to turn the overhead light on and off, and it contains buttons & indicator lights used to program the opener. The motion sensor is very sensetive and the light is very bright. It's smooth, quiet (really quiet) and fast and has a clean look.

The light and all remotes are preprogrammed to the motor unit making it fast to get up and running. It is wired to a router with a network cable and then communicates with the opener. It's quieter, more secure and has a battery backup.

• Easy install and set up unit is very quiet
• You can have 8 hand held remotes programmed
• Super quite, easily able to pick up a insulated 10' x 10' door
• Accepts a standard 1 " od door shaft
