Genie manages to pack a lot of features into this reasonably priced garage door opener, including Wi-Fi connectivity, making it one of the best all-around options for garage door openers. This opener checks all the boxes regarding features, with two wireless remotes, a wall-mount console, a keypad, a battery backup, and wireless connectivity. It’s also powerful enough to handle heavier doors thanks to its 1¼ hp motor, and it features a steel-reinforced belt, which helps it to be both durable and quiet.
Genie’s Aladdin app allows users to check the status of the door as well as operate it or program the door to auto close after it’s been left open for a certain amount of time. It will also pair with a digital assistant for voice control.
