In recognition of their reputation as an industry leader in product innovation and quality, Chamberlain Professional Products recently received three prestigious Consumers Digest Best Buy ratings for their LiftMaster® 3220, LiftMaster® 3595 and LiftMaster® RJO3800 garage door openers.
Consumers Digest tested garage door openers in four categories: screw drive, chain drive, belt drive, and wall-mounted. Openers were compared on quietness, safety features, ease of installation and build quality. Chamberlain garage door openers took the top spot in three of the categories.
"We are thrilled to receive this high honor from such a well-respected consumer research and testing publication," said Dan Nixa, director of marketing, Chamberlain Professional Products. "We continually strive to bring our dealers and consumers the most innovative, superior products on the market."
In the Screw Drive category, the LiftMaster 3220 was awarded the Premium Selection Best Buy. The 3220 features a 1/2 HP motor, a permanently lubricated screw for long life, and a lifetime motor warranty. The 3220 also includes the exclusive Motor Vibration Isolation System (MVIS®) for quiet operation, a Multi-Function Control Panel, and a Security+® 3-Button Remote Control with rolling code technology.
Among Chain Drive openers, the LiftMaster 3595 -- the only professionally-installed 3/4 horsepower opener available on the market -- took the top spot in the category. The 3595 features a powerful chain-driven 3/4 HP heavy-duty motor that is designed to easily lift today's heavier, custom carriage house garage doors. This opener is made with a commercial I-beam rail system and chassis support bracket. It also includes MVIS technology for smooth, quiet performance as well as innovative accessories such as the Smart Control Panel™ and Premium Remote Control.
The LiftMaster Residential Jackshaft Operator (RJO3800) was rated the Premium Selection Best Buy in the Wall-Mounted garage door opener category. The RJO3800 offers an ultra-quiet, space-saving, wall-mounted design specifically for garages and unique applications that don't allow for a traditional garage door opener, such as those with very low, cathedral or obstructed ceilings. The opener mounts on either side of the garage door and is installed by simply attaching to the garage door torsion bar. The optional EverCharge™ Battery Backup System will provide power for up to two days, allowing the 3800 to operate all vital garage-door safety functions.
For more than 45 years, readers have trusted Consumers Digest to identify outstanding performance and testing in a complex and crowded marketplace. The Consumers Digest Best Buy rating is awarded to fewer than three percent of the competing models in any given product category.
