Chamberlain ML700EVGB Comfort Garage Door Opener, White, 700N toothed belt drive - Up-and-over or sectional door incl. 2 remote controls

Fantastic auto door. Easy to fit with good instructions. Incredibly quiet. Very happy with the item.

I wanted an auto opening garage door. New roller doors with key fob remotes started at around £1200. When I saw this I read reviews looked for decent videos on how to install, then planed how to secure the main unit to the ceiling. I was concerned when first receiving the unit as the instructions. Were poor. The instruction didn’t answer my questions that I had about the install. The videos in English didn’t cover everything I needed to know. I found an excellent video in you tube in French that was the most helpful for installing the chamberlain 750 for a solid up and over door. I followed this and the install was done in a morning. If you do a bit of homework first, the instal afterwards becomes easy

Excellent delivery from Germany, 4 working days. Product extremely well designed for shipping, easy installation, works well, very quiet . So overall as an engineer I was impressed at the price point and can recommend. Installation instructions pretty good but I think could be simplified, on line video with Amazon very good and with just a few more minutes to fill editing gaps would be rated excellent.So why 4 starts not 5 ? In fact 4.7 would be fairer . The fixing straps and wall/door brackets have been engineered back too far for low cost in my view. They will work but are too flimsy for what is positioned as a premium product. I overcame my reluctance to use them by reusing hardware from my old electric door I was replacing, and got a very robust installation. Am I being picky, maybe yes, but such a smart design should not be spoilt by saving a little material gauge width and overall strength of the finished installation.

Initial fitting of this kit was very fast and i felt i was making very good progress. Then i got to the part of attaching the frame runner to the door its self. I was installing this on a 15 year old 3 metre garage door and the middle section was a raised brace and the holes for the bracket supplied with the kit would not line up with the brace correctly. This wasn't too much of an issue as i made something out of some aluminium bar and some rivets and attached it on to the door.Next the fun really began when i attempted to set the lifter up. Firstly on opening the frame was bending which i fixed with some additional timber bracing on the frame. After that when the door closed it would stay open on one side about 4 inches where as the other side was closed perfectly. When it got to this point of travel the upper door frame timber would twist and creak and sounded like it was about to snap. I spent several hours bracing this to beef it up abit which made no difference.When you run into this type of issue the manual is next to useless and just tells you to seek professional help. I messed about with the door abit more and figured out that the right hand guide that eases the door backwards wasn't doing its job and the door was passing over the side of it rather than against it. I drilled the rivets out and moved the guide further outwards. With very little expectation i tried again and to my amazement it work perfectly! It would be nice if they pointed out some basic things to look out for on the door if you have issuesThe garage door opener is a good piece of kit but dont assume that it will fit and you will have no issues. Programming was abit of a pain to start with but it worked properly in the end. The manual control button looks abit cheap and nasty, i didnt bother with it.

Good product

illumination the light that came with my opener ML700eVGB is useless especially at night trying to reverse into a dark garage ,okay ,car reversing lights are on .but a lighted candle would be more use .the opener works well ,quiet, setup was easy ,no problems but but that light is not good .I had fitted two Led strips to the original opener which gave a good illumination

Used this to replace a previous unit. Instructions easy to follow if you read the written instructions with the separate pictorial guide. All the references were clear and accurate. Looks well made and if it lasts like the previous two (total 36 years) I'll be very happy. Toothed belt drive is much quieter than the previous chain drive. I ordered it one day, received it the next and installed it the same day.

This took me a morning to install and was fairly straightforward. The instructions are not very good and just have pictures with no text. There are videos online which help but I struggled a little with the set up once it was all powered as there seems to be a mode where the door won’t full retract. It’s a little hard ti explain but if you happen to experience that just start from the beginning and programme the close and open setting and you should be ok. I did try to speak to someone via the online chat and there was no pick up by an agent which was pretty disappointing. Now it’s going it seems to be ok and is quiet and smooth in operation
