If you want a few extra benefits beyond what you find in a regular garage door opener, the Chamberlain B6713T is a great fit.
The most notable of these features is the LED lighting system instead of the usual incandescent bulbs. These LEDs generate 2,000 lumens of bright white light. Combined with the tilted body of the opener, the wide lighting range makes this model very popular.
Like all modern Chamberlain models, the B6713T allows you to use the MyQ smartphone control, allowing you to control and access your garage door from anywhere. Unlike many models, you don't need to buy a separate hub or gateway. This device connects directly to your home Wi-Fi network. If you plan to use a similar feature, make sure your existing smart home system is compatible and that your Wi-Fi signal is strong enough to reach your garage.
The Chamberlain B6713T opener is also a particularly powerful opener thanks to its motor. This makes it suitable for doors weighing up to 550 pounds and up to 10 feet tall. Even if you don't have a door that's too heavy, it can still be a good idea to choose a heavy-duty unit like this one. By requiring less force, your motor won't be under the same stress and strain as the weaker models, which can increase the life of the unit.
The Chamberlain B6713T comes with two remote controls. If your car has home connectivity enabled, it can connect directly to your car, completely eliminating the need for remote control. Just be sure to double-check with your car's manufacturer, as some older model cars may have problems connecting to newer openers.
Yahoodain recommends Chamberlain models like this one for homeowners who want to install them themselves, as opposed to more professional openers like the LiftMaster.
