The short answer

Chamberlain B5330 comes out ahead by a narrow margin (4.5 vs unrated). The gap is mostly about Homeowners already committed to the myQ app who want the opener, the garage camera, and the overhead light to be one ceiling-mounted device — read the strengths below before deciding.

Chamberlain B5330

4.5

2 sources$309as of Aug 2

The Chamberlain B5330 is the best-documented opener in this category: PCMag's John R. Delaney had one professionally installed at his own home and scored it 4.0 out of 5, and Bob Vila's reviewer lived with one for two months in Florida and gave it a perfect 5. It pairs a 1 HP belt drive with a 1080p camera and a 1,000-lumen two-bulb light in a single ceiling unit, so it takes the place of an opener, a garage camera, and a light fixture at once. The catches are consistent across both reviews: myQ is a walled garden with no Alexa, Google, or HomeKit support, and the features most buyers assume are included — recorded clips, object detection, video search — are subscription-gated. Buy it if your garage is already a myQ household; look elsewhere if you want it to answer to a voice assistant.

Strengths

— Two independent reviewers installed it and both rated it at or near the top of their scale
— 1 HP belt drive that PCMag found quieter and smoother than the Chamberlain HD950WF it replaced
— Built-in 1080p camera with a 130-degree field of view, so the opener replaces a separate garage camera

Watch-outs

— No Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit support — myQ is the only way in
— Recorded video, face recognition, object detection, and video search all sit behind a myQ subscription; only live streaming and motion alerts are free
— The wireless keypad is not in the box and is sold as a separate accessory

Ranked #5 in Best Garage Door Openers

Genie StealthDrive Connect 7155-TKV

Unrated3 sources$314.99as of Aug 2

The Genie StealthDrive Connect 7155-TKV is the opener to buy if you want the garage door to answer to a voice assistant. It pairs a 1-1/4 HPc DC motor and a steel-reinforced belt with Genie's built-in Aladdin Connect Wi-Fi, and unlike the Chamberlain units on this page it supports both Alexa and Google Assistant. The Spruce named it their best-value pick after a tester ran it twice a day for three months, and CNET calls it an excellent kit while noting the one real gap: there is no HomeKit, so Siri is out. It also arrives complete, with two remotes, a keypad, and a wall console in the box, which is unusual at this level.

Strengths

— Works with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant through built-in Aladdin Connect Wi-Fi, which the Chamberlain openers here do not
— The Spruce's tester had it professionally installed in about an hour and the installer reported the instructions were clear
— Ships complete — two pre-programmed three-button remotes, a wireless keypad, and a multi-function wall console are all in the box

Watch-outs

— No Apple HomeKit support — CNET lists the absence of Siri control as its objection
— The overhead light is not motion-activated; it comes on only when the opener runs
— The Spruce's installer flagged that the drive element is a plastic-feeling material rather than metal and may wear over time

How they stack up

Chamberlain B5330

The B5330 and the LiftMaster 87504-267 Secure View are the two camera openers here, and they split along channel lines — the Chamberlain is a big-box unit a competent owner can have installed in an afternoon, while the LiftMaster is a dealer product. Against the Genie StealthDrive Connect 7155-TKV it trades away Alexa and Google support for the camera and the brighter integrated light. Buyers who want none of that should look at the Genie ChainDrive 550 (2035-TKV).

Genie StealthDrive Connect 7155-TKV

This is the only opener here that answers to Alexa and Google Assistant — the Chamberlain B5330 and the LiftMaster 87504-267 Secure View are both locked to myQ. It gives up the built-in camera those two carry, and its light is dimmer and dumber than the LiftMaster's 2,000-lumen ring. Against the Genie ChainDrive 550 (2035-TKV) it costs considerably more but adds the belt drive, the battery backup, and every smart feature.
