Bump! Happy New Year!

Hi Jay I'm stuck between two units the LDC0800 ¾ HP – LINEAR and the 3280 Liftmaster - 1/2HP. I have one double door and want a very quiet unit comparable if not better then other gdo's mentioned on this forum. I also wanted to steer clear of battery backup. My house isn't closing until spring of this year!

I would definitely suggest the LDC0800. By far the quietest unit I've ever seen.

Yes! Some new inventory available. I'm on a jobsite right now (on blackberry) but will update tonight and respond to the couple PMs that I received today.

Everything is updated. There are other units available, if you don't see what you like, let me know.
If you have two doors, I'll throw in a free keypad.
Don't forget, prices include taxes and installation.

Hi Jay, would you recommend the LD050 ½ HP – LINEAR – Belt Drive or the 3280 Liftmaster - 1/2HP - Belt Drive. I will need two for our two single doors on the garage and was wondering which is the better unit (noise, durability, overall performance). Thanks for the info.

If you let me know your model number, I can certainly get you a remote. There are a couple different versions (depending on what year it was made) so I need to know which model you have before I can price it.

Hey Dan, sorry I missed your post.
That's a tough battle as they are both almost perfectly equal.
The Liftmaster has 2 light as opposed to one.
The Linear has a slightly better warranty. Both come with a Lifetime warranty on belt and motor. The Liftmaster comes with 1 year on all other parts. The Linear comes with 5 years on all other parts except electrical which is 1 year.

The Linear is by far your best bang for your buck. The Liftmasters tend to cost more because they are a more popular name.
I would personally go for the Linear, I have yet to see a problem with them, they are very quiet and perform well.

I would actually toss one other suggestion for your consideration.. The Linear LDCO800, for the same price as the Liftmaster, you would get a 3/4HP Belt drive, DC motor. By far, the quietest unit I've seen.

Hi Jay, I didn't know if a 3/4 Hp garage door opener would be too strong for a single door. I always assumed that those would be reserved for a double door. Thoughts?

Thanks again.

It's certainly not going to hurt the door. If anything, a smaller door means less stress and a longer life.

expensive if you ask me

If you can find the exact same unit, for a cheaper price, including taxes and installation, then please let me know! I'll do my best to beat it.

Hey jay let me know what your prices are thx.

Hi Digijay,

thanks
