That Liftmaster Opener on Amazon Seems Inexpensive Because it is NOT a Complete Unit
Liftmaster openers come with a high-quality 1-piece rail system that does not break down or come apart over time. These rails are 10′ 4″ long (or longer) and cannot be shipped via UPS. Very few, if any, sellers on Amazon will send you the rail/belt/front-idler/carriage assembly, an important component of your opener system.

Some Quick Math on This “Deal”:
$217.53 – for an outdated, older unit on Amazon that does NOT have built-in WiFi (you need to purchase an Internet Gateway to use your smartphone)
$50.80 – for an Internet Gateway to use your smartphone to operate the door
$100 – to purchase a rail, belt, front idler and carriage system for your unit from a local dealer
$24.40 – sales tax
$25 – estimated installation materials
$175 – installation labor from a professional, quality installer
= $592.73 – almost 40% more than if you buy the better unit from us! (on 12/6/2018)
