So I've been looking for a way to get a little exercise done while I take conference calls are watching movies in the media room so I figured I would give this one a try for the price I wasn't really risking anything. But I have used this about 20 times now and I can say I really love the belt drive it is super quiet I can take conference calls on it I can still hear the movie while I'm riding it it's pretty comfortable and the heavy wheel really gets me good workout.

This is our third Whisper Drive opener.  The belt drive is very smooth  and the opener is quiet enough that the people in the room above the garage don't hear it when the door opens and closes.  This comes with the wireless entry key pad, two controllers for the car, and a wall-mount controller.
This had to be bought with the 8ft belt drive extension kit for our purposes.
We found this to be the same price as what is in the big-box stores, but didn't have to pay tax.  With Amazon prime, it was delivered in two days, so overall, this one is a win.

I bought Sommer 550 3/4 HP opener three days ago and now it is operating like a charm! It is unbelievably quiet compare to the old Genie screw drive opener. The built quality seems to be very good. Because of the missing three washers (one for the tensioning bolt and two for the ceiling bracket, I deduct one star from 5.

I'm not sure I can say enough good things about this drive. I purchased this particular drive 2 years ago, as I needed additional space. I had previously bought the 1T and 2T drives, all with good experiences. I have since dropped this drive numerous times, and have managed to accidentally drown my drive in very hot water for over a minute, and the DRIVE STILL WORKED! Like I said, cannot say enough good things. As a graphic designer and digiscrapper, I'm entrusting my life on this drive and it has been worth its weight in gold.

I have a 3TB drive, and a 1TB NAS, and a lot of other hard drives & jump drives... but this is my favorite.

Not having a power cord seems like a small thing, and when I bought it I too considered that a small thing.
Retrospectively, I realize that this is HUGE.

I use this hard drive all the time, because it is so portable and easy to use.  It is negligibly harder to use than a jump drive, which has made me basically stop using jump drives, because I just use this one all the time.

And 1TB is HUGE for something as portable as this is.

I love, love, love, love, love this drive.

I've only had this drive for a few days but it transfers information quickly.  I use it several times a day and love the available space it offers.  My backups with Seagate used to take several hours.  This one has cut that time down to only a few hours.  I will be traveling with it and am not sure how it travels yet, hopefully it'll work fine.  Excellent product.  I just hope it lasts a long time.

I've used it about 20 times in the last few months and it works great, plus: it's lightweight

I have only used it once but was really impressed with the ease of use, the power and the quietness of operations.

I use this drive almost every day and I highly recommend it. Its great for a keychain so you don't forget it and mine has gone through the washer and dryer a few times and still works great. The only issue would be if you don't have anything attached to the ring it may be hard to get out (and easy to leave in a computer and forget).

It's quiet and work great.  I'm happy that I made the right decision to
choose this one.  I took it to Asia trip and it worked out really great.
I recommend any time.

I've been using mine for over a year and I love it. Quiet and powerful. I almost went with one of the cheaper ones but I'm glad I didn't. I can't imagine anyone makes a better disposal.

Update: 3 years in and it is still going strong and quiet. I've chucked everything down this puppy, it doesn't care. You could probably "recycle" batteries in the manner of Pam on "Archer" with this thing. Good stuff!

Update: 7 years later, still going. It might be a bit noiser now, but still beats the cheap ones. I'd buy this again if necessary.

I initially bought this with the intention that it would be a backup drive I could put all my stuff on and keep in a safe, but I love it so much I use it every day. Now I'll have to buy another one! It's fast and even smaller and thinner than I thought it would be (so small I carry it with me in a clutch purse sometimes!) I wanted a hard drive with a ton of space that acted more like a flash drive (as in, I didn't want it to come with junk software that you have to use just to move files back and forth) and this is perfect. Just plug in, drag and drop files, and done. I also really like that when you delete files, it puts them in the recycle bin so you can easily retrieve them if you had an oops moment. About the only "bad" thing I can say about it is the cable is pretty short, so the drive hangs in mid air from most devices I use it with, which looks goofy but so far hasn't caused any problems. Seriously awesome product, thanks!

I've only owned this Chamberlain belt-drive for a week after investing in it to replace a well-used Overhead Door model that gave us 10 years of use. I will amend this post (or make another) if there are any long-term durability concerns... but let me say that, so long as it keeps working I AM COMPLETELY IMPRESSED. This thing is awesome - and I'm generally a very cynical person.

First, the DIY install was straight forward, and although I would have emphasized certain steps more as long as you go step-by-step the directions are accurate and appropriate. EVERYTHING comes in the box, down to batteries in every remote (with everything but the keypad being pre-programmed) and insulated staples for running the sensor wires. So once you install, adjust and plug in the unit it's ready to go. Expect to spend a good 4-5 hours doing it "right," I saved a little time as I was replacing an old opener that failed.  The capability of adjustments on programming door travel are excellent.

The MyQ system actually looks pretty cool, but the "accessories" for your home are expensive. I chose this unit specifically because it did not have the light activator unit (but was $30 cheaper). The actual belt-drive unit is QUIET. SCARY QUIET, as in "I am talking to you while opening and closing the door, Honey - can you hear it? No, seriously, I'm right next to the opener! Freaky, ain't it????" It's been over a week and I'm still slightly unnerved on how flipping quiet this thing is - our toddler sleeps right above the garage and we now open and close with impunity!

A wireless keypad (which actually works) is included and can be programmed with a temporary code that expires in X hours or by X number of cycles - handy for the in-laws or dog sitter. It also has an auto-close feature which is good, but can only be set to a max of 10 minutes (slightly short IMHO) - make sure you have the wireless keypad functional if you use this.... Two 100W lights (CFL compatible) which are very effective. And it also has motion-activated lighting, so when you walk out into the garage the lights automatically turn on. You can adjust the timer for how long they stay on - this is very useful for all those short trips out to get the right-sized screwdriver, etc.

Again, if you haven't noticed, I am truly impressed with the "wow" factor of this opener - and the homelink system was 100% compatible with my wife's 2011 Cadillac. Some people report issues but so far we have none and no need for any adapters. My only question will be durability (not a dig on this unit, just that all modern things seem to have plastic innards and finite lifespans); but that's why I bought it through Lowe's (LW5000EV) versus Amazon for a few bucks less (this Amazon product comes with the wireless light switch for the MyQ system)... just in case. I would have liked to see a more durable one-piece rail if only as an option, because the electric motor can create enough torque to visibly flex the 5 piece thing that comes in the box. It should hold up fine - but that's the only thing I can gripe about so far and it's admittedly a non-issue. I mention it so I don't look like a paid shill for Chamberlain (some of the other reviews are rather negative, I did not have this experience).

This thing is so cool, I want to buy a second for the other garage bay... I will highly recommend.

I have no complaints so far about this drive - it is silent, fast, and it has about doubled the time my battery lasts - so much so that I have to wonder if there was not something wrong with my past drive.  However, in the past I have had WD drives fail, and gotten no apology from them - only a legal statement as if it was my fault the unit had failed.

I get everything our of this drive I could want.  It runs very quietly and does not emit very much heat. It also comes with a 5 year warranty which makes the drive superior to many consumer drives and comparable to enterprise drives. I have not had a single bad drive and if I did I would not worry since WDC would replace it for the next 5 years.

I love the fact that it's more quiet than my 5 and 6 quart mixers were.  The extra capacity makes al! The difference in the world. The motor seems a lot stronger than the 6 quart mixer, I have burned out 3 mixers just in bread dough, I've rebuilt all of them, just to have them burn out again.
I'm hoping this is the last mixer i will ever buy.
But why is my stainless steel bowl rusting.

Had this almost a year now and it is still working great. Very quiet compared to the old chain drive craftsman on I had and as a bonus, the sensor wires from the old setup work perfectly with this one. Cant wait for the other craftsman to burn up so I can get another one
