I love this garage door opener. It is smooth, quiet and powerful. I have owned other brands before and it is far superior. Assembly is very easy, snap the 2 halves of the channel together and install the powerhead with 4 screws. The instructions advise you support it using a structure built of angle iron, but I just screwed 2x4 blocks to the ceiling ( I had to stack 3) and it worked great. Spend the extra 40 bucks for this opener, you won't regret it.
