The problem is that the Liftmaster and Chamberlin MyQ integration is no longer available to home automation users such as Home Assistant. The company turned off 3rd party apps from being able to access it.

Love to see how this compares to the 8500w I just installed!

I would prefer the new LiftMaster and Chamberlain openers to be able to work with any number of simple, normally-open momentary pushbutton switches, the way openers prior to ca. 2000 worked. It is handy to have additional "dumb" switches that never need batteries in the garage next to interior and exterior doors, so that one can push a button while leaving the garage and not need to carry a remote control.

Just had this opener installed yesterday along with a new 16x7 insulated door + tracks. It's even quieter than my old Chamberlain Whisperdrive. From what I've been hearing, the Liftmaster/Chamberlain fixed a lot of the previous issues with the 8500(W) in the 98022. Here's hoping I'll get a decade+ of use out of it.

There's some Clark Kent stuff going on when this guy takes off his glasses!

I am just a regular homeowner but knew instantly that your hat refers to the torsion spring specs. I replaced my own springs one too many times.

Great job these videos are really helpful. Is this the model you recommend? For a regular townhouse garage

We have 2 of the RJ070 models working since +/- 2019. They work awesome. The said "lack of technology" is a bit out of line IMHO. Who needs all of that complication? Push the button it works. Ours turns the light on when the safety beam is broken, that's kinda cool but unnecessary. We have cameras around the house. We don't need a garage door opener that has a camera or a motion sensor or an LCD display or any of the additional bells and whistles that cost money for really no practical application. KISS principal for workhorse items.

Just came here to say thanks. At one point I needed to reset my limits. My door was jerking up and down. You have to be very careful. You have to also set your profile first.

What's to keep someone from just lifting the garage door open when it is closed with a wall mount opener? Or the wind even?

What are some of the main differences between this liftmaster 98022 and the chamberlain rjo101? Thanks. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻

My biggest question that wasn't answered in this video is would these work on light weight manual roll up doors? (doors that roll up into a ball at the top of the door). I have liftmaster on my 2 gdoors on the house side and would like to add the same to the detached garage in the 2nd driveway.

Great video!! thank you, 1 question, can we open 2 garage door with 1 garage opener ( first door Down second door Up or second door Down first door Up) is there possibility? Thank you.

Great video. I’m a homeowner with two of these Liftmaster 98022 units. For my smaller 8x8 door, the motor has worked beautifully. For my larger 16x8 door, it’s been hell for my installer and I. We just can’t figure out why I keep getting the Excessive Force error when we try to close the door. In many cases the door gets stuck open and I need to reprogram the travel to reset the door. My installer even swapped the motor out for a new one it’s still an issue. He even adjusted the the springs and the tracks but to no avail We’ve been stumped and Liftmaster’s customer service hasn’t been able to help. The new door is a 16x8 CHI insulated door so it’s pretty light. The installer set the door profile to 1 and we tried setting it to 2 as well but still get the error every few days. Sorry for the long winded comment but have you seen this happen yourself in the field?

Really like this new motor. I’ve installed about 6 of them so far and no issues.

Does this opener worm on a torquemaster slring system? Is there some kind of conversion kit for it?

I had never even heard of wall mount motors until this vudeo

So I have a new garage 15' wide x 30' long x 12' high with standard roof 3.12 pitch. It has a 12' wide x 10' tall roller door with chain. I really like the LiftMaster 98022 but after watch your video I am concerned about getting one installed. I saw that you did the video in Oct 2023 and another Feb 2024. Has any changes been made or solutions found that would make me feel better about getting this door opener?

I have a side mount in my 2 year old home and the motor part has been good so far the only thing that needs improvement is the range of the transmitters

tried installed this unit over the weekend, no issue when setting it manaully but once i click the buttom to close the door the wires unspun from the drum. had a door company come out, he fixed cables, re-tortioned the spring, and tried again, same issue. upon lowering the door it came unwound again. after a few adjustments, a few more tries, and a few hours later it was late and he gave up. he's going to come back in a few days to try again and if all else fails reinstall my old opener. i think the issue may be with the door balance, while i can raise the door with one finger, it takes a lot of force to lower it and as a result the motor keeps spinning, doesnt detect slack, and the cable unspins from drum. its a normal size, uninsulated, 2 car door with low clearance and a single spring which is in good shape. if we can't sort it I'll just have to return the motor.

Thanks for the video. Silly question: how loud is the beeping while on battery backup? Can it be defeated? I’m considering installing this off-grid with a solar charger to keep the battery charged. It that means it’ll beep constantly. (I have an 18wx12h uninsulated door. Specs say it’s within spec. Am I nuts to try this?)

I was so excited to get these, but unfortunately have had nothing but problems. I am constantly getting error codes: Excessive closing force detected error code 4-1 and motor control 1-5. I had a garage door company come out and try to adjust the doors, they said the doors are perfectly balanced. Still having issues, frustrating!

Santiago, Could you please share whether or not you have had this excessive force problem with the units you have installed? You are in California so your weather may prevent it from being common, but it is just the most frustrating thing. If you have had the problem, would you please share how to fix it? I just had one of these installed for me. My father's old 8500 works great. But this new one has been nothing but problems. It will work for about 3 days, then when the temperature changes, it will stop working. Various error codes show up, like excessive closing force detected error code 4-1 and motor control 1-5. I understand that this is related to the removal of the cable tension monitor. The problem is that temperature changes fool the unit into thinking there is excess closing force when their isn't. I live in Illinois and the temperature varies greatly in February (and March, which is just around the corner). Liftmaster has claimed that it has a firmware update that fixes this common and recurring problem, and MyQ is supposed to update the firmware automatically when needed. BUT THERE IS NO WAY FOR MY DEALER to force an update. And apparently the fix has not yet been approved for automatic update. My dealer has had to be out at least 4 times since the unit was installed just so it can reset itself and operate until there is another change in the weather. This is frustrating beyond words, and I am not the only customer with this problem. It is said to be a flaw in the original firmware that they have made essentially impossible to fix until they get around to it - or my dealer, who has been golden in the past with numerous door openers for the three garage doors we have, is somehow entirely inept, which I do not believe to be the case. Please help if you can!

We are a garage door business in SF bay and we have been having some issues with this new 98022 . Issue : Code 1-6 . Apparently is a coasting issue at full open position. Any thoughts on that ? Thank you, Walter

So will this wall mount work with a dual track, low head room? If so I'll buy one now.

Would you go with a Chamberlain RJO110? On sale dor $150 cheaper. Will my illuminated lcd liftmaster wall mount remote work? Thanks

What color is the learn button on the 98022?

My garage door was damaged by a delivery driver recently. I am having to put in a whole new door and motor. What is your reccomendation.

Did you have to go back to this property after installing the new one?

I would be pleased if liftmaster allow overhead light to be turned on if photobeam is broken. Like it was in older style was.

It doesnt give me a lot of confidence in LiftMaster that you said you had to replace a new unit with an updated unit. Then, you said we just have to install it "and pray". Is that really what you'd like to say about a quality product?

How does it compare to the RJ0101?

Party at the garage door pad. I am deciding between the chamberlain wall mount vs belt drive. Cost aside would you go with the wall mount?

Lifetime warranty but they wouldn't replace the one you had issues with?

Just had a professional install one of these and am getting some error codes on a double door. The door goes up just fine. Upon closing, it goes down about 6 inches then goes back up. (Profile 1) From what I can gather in your other videos/comments. It sounds like adjusting the springs 2 quarter inch turns to make the door heavier and adjusting the door rails up so there is some downward rake takes care of this issue? Any advice? Thank you!!!!!!

I have a glass heavy garage door, can this work for me?

Does it now work directly with Alexa? Patching with MyQ is a pain. They need to ditch it.

The issue is control system was poorly engineered. Get a new board from Listmaster and the unit will work fine.

Why don't or haven't you reviewed the Ryobi garage door openers?

What is the approx cost?

Sounds like frustrating and headache with this kinda unite. I’ll still stick with the old garage door openers until companies coming up with more reliable units. Don’t have time figuring out company’s screwed up design and keeps on calling the installer waiting for them to show up, if they will, than they won’t even honor their own warranty. If you’re having so much problems with this kinda units as a professional, I don’t think it would be advisable for an average Joe to have it with no help.

Hey Santiago, great video. Still think i will go with a Genie wall mount. Have you expanded your work area to S Corona yet, would like you to install new a door and motor??? Lets party.

The lift master 3800 8500 has a great sound these I don’t like the “sound “

I hope lift master that they didn’t infringe on a copyright to do this

I think the wire length for the supplied wall button is more than adequate. It is plenty to mount the wall button to the jamb under the operator. If you want it somewhere else, then the electrician should have wired the house for that and had the wires wherever the customer wants them. That's not the responsibility of the manufacturer to determine where someone wants things mounted in any way, because every house/person is different. Your solution is what we do also for genie and LM wall mounts. We put the wired button on the jamb and wireless wherever the customer wants, if it's not already wired properly. Also, i doubt that they could have a wireless wall station with motion/lcd ect. that would work very long before the batteries drain. The battery technology isn't there. Nor does it make sense having to charge via usb the wall station. I do enjoy your videos coming from a professional viewpoint, we all have our opinions. I do still like the Genie units better than the electrical issue plagued LiftMaster/Chamberlain units of the last few years.

I never messed with that tensioner, a 1k ohm resister bypasses all that mess.

Tip for installers set all the flash settings to 5 you will thank me later

Liftmaster just posted on their KZfaq channel a video on how to install the 90832, very odd design

As a lifelong low voltage system installer and repair tech, carrying a spool/box of any wire type in one's truck/van that one is most likely to need for 90% of installs is basic preparedness. I always did so myself, and I made sure that any of the techs I supervised were likewise prepared. The same goes for caddies of screws/bolts/anchors, a pack of various size zip ties to clean up wiring, etc. Expecting a manufacturer to toss in everything necessary to install a product (or at least 90% of installs) is pretty foolish, and experience has proven time and time again that when manufacturers do throw in hardware, it's the cheesiest pot metal garbage out there and the wire is steel, not copper.

Sounds like i need to look at something other than a LiftMaster.

With more and more devices like the flipper becoming more accessible. Why would you advocate for a wifi option. Seems to me Wi-Fi is the least secure option.

We have eight 827LM lights for our shop lighting. Commercial customers didn't need them.

I would not install one on anything less then 15" radius

I got that same model last week, already on my second service call tomorrow. The system is garbage as the cable on the spool keeps getting loose which causes the cable to fall off the spool on both ends. I would not recommend this junk. I paid over $4700 Canadian for this with a new single folding garage door, installed by a professional.

This is the best wall mount on the market period regardless of what people say.

No wireless wall button or backup battery is a joke.

1/2 HP will not do! Garbage.

too much talking.

Clickbait. Thumbs down. If you're going to do a review, just say it's a review.

show the damn product not your face---waste of a review
