Liftmaster 98022 Premium Series by Liftmaster (Replaced 8500) Jackshaft Garage Door Opener Battery Backup W/WiFi

I purchased and installed two Liftmaster 98022 units. They are extremely easy to install - much easier than I was expecting. The kit includes amble lengths of cable for the sensors and lock. I didn't measure the cables, but one of my doors is 19' wide x 11' tall and the furthest sensor's cable was sufficient length.All the components appear high quality.These are EXTREMELY QUIET openers! Everyone who's visited has commented on how quiet they are.The only thing I wish was different is the speed. It opens and closes normal, but with 11' tall garage doors I wish they were faster. For all I know there might be a speed setting and I simply missed it. I was concentrating on the physical installation.I've been using them daily for 10 days now an everything is excellent. I will update this review if I encounter any problems or observations in the future.

Very happy with this opener. Super easy to install and is incredibly quite compared to traditional openers. I use this on my 16' garage door and it works like a champ so far.

Excellent functionality. Easy to install and good build quality.

I essentially never leave Amazon product reviews, however my experience with the product and the seller was so good, that I felt the need to share. I live in a single family house which has two 2-car garages, each of which has a double wide heavy roll up garage door with glass windows. The original electric garage door openers were Liftmaster 3800 jackshaft units, which have performed reasonably well for over 10 years. However recently they seemed to be struggling, even with the door being properly balanced. I knew it was time to replace the openers. I was comfortable in the Liftmaster product world, so I did research on a replacement. Liftmaster recently re-engineered their jackshaft openers, and now everything up to and including the model 8800 is end of life. The current new technology replacement (released June 2023) is this 98022 unit. This has a much improved DC motor, better logic board and electronics, built in battery backup, a better wall mounted control pad with digital display, and finally gets rid of the terrible problematic cable tension monitor system. I found the best price here from Ace Garage Door (located in Florida), but before I ordered 2 new units, I had some questions. I contacted the seller through the Amazon system, and received immediate, prompt, and thorough replies, even at odd hours and over the weekend. The seller even sent backup documents for me to read. I was more than satisfied, and ordered 2 units. These shipped promptly, however note that because these have battery backups, the units must ship ground from the Amazon fulfillment center (Prime doesn't get you any faster shipping). The units did however arrive as fast as expected and intact. The included instructions and parts were thorough, and as I had familiarity with a prior Liftmaster jack shaft system, deinstallation of the old systems and installation of the new ones was pretty straightforward.The new 98022 systems are way better than the old AC technology and logic. Smooth, fast, quiet operation. The setup process is much better, with easy programming of your cable drum size and door weight, and then setup of upper and lower limits, and automated setting of forces required for your door. The new included wireless LED ceiling light is really bright, and now I don't have any RF interference from the replacement LED bulbs I had in the old ceiling light system. I was able to deinstall my old separate add-on myQ unit, as these openers have built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and myQ. With the myQ app on your smartphone, you get control from anywhere, as well as excellent data and diagnostics.Overall I am very pleased with the openers and with the seller.

This garage door opener is a huge headache. It was actually very easy to install but getting it programmed is a pain. There’s a whole bunch of light sequences that you have to understand to get it to handle the weight of your door correctly. We ended up having a certified LiftMaster technician come out and it worked great for about a week and then it started to throw error codes and would not close. We had the technician come out again and he said this is a common issue and that he would adjust it one more time but we would likely have to go back to LiftMaster and request a new garage door. Guess what we’re starting to have issues again so now I have to battle LiftMaster to get a replacement. This should not be the case for a $500 garage door opener!! Don’t waste your money on this.

Great opener, very quiet, easy install.

I replaced my Liftmaster builder grade (noisy, low-end) rail-track & chain opener with this unit. It works flawlessly and is ultra-quiet compared to the old one. I also wanted to use the space blocked by the rail and opener motor. I now have full view of my garage ceiling.I installed the unit months after ordering due to being out of town, but the seller ACE GARAGE DOOR was more than accommodating. It has been installed for several months and only the lamp unit failed which ACE replaced promptly with an updated unit.The safety, speed, features, and quality of this opener runs circles around my old one.Very happy.

Very temperamental unit to set up all the safety features are super sensitive as difficult to get to work for the first time I’ve had it working for eight months now and it works well also too as a sidenote, the wire that goes to the lock mechanism do not cut it. Do not try to alter it. It must be the same factory length otherwise it will not work. He creates too much resistance. They don’t tell you this in the instructions but it’s very important. You don’t try to extend that wire.
