When was the last time you bought a new garage door opener? Modern technology such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and LED lighting have revolutionized the garage door opener market, adding functions and features our dads would have only dreamed about back in the 1970s, when the first Genie openers hit the local Sears. Plus, materials are improved, and their motors and drives are quieter than ever.

We wanted to survey the market and see what were thebest garage door opener on the market today, so rather than unhooking and uninstalling our current garage door opener, then repeating the process ad infinitum, we turned to our colleagues at Good Housekeeping to see what they found in their latest test.
