The Genie StealthDrive Connect 7155-TKV is a 1-1/4 HP belt-drive opener with Wi-Fi control through the Aladdin Connect app, battery backup, two remotes and an outdoor keypad. HandyDadTV bought one with its own money, installed it alone on a new door and, after a month, gave it two thumbs up for quiet, reliable running, while knocking the short power cord, a light lens that would not stay on and a keypad that needs the full code to close the door. Owner Nicholas Cordero, who replaced a broken belt-drive unit, found it easy to install and much quieter, but had to fit the new safety sensors before every function worked.
Full review
Bought and installed by HandyDadTV
HandyDadTV bought the 7155-TKV with its own money as Amazon's best-selling opener and installed it on a Clopay door that had never had an opener, adding the door maker's reinforcement kit rather than angle iron. A month later the channel's verdict was a really good unit, two thumbs up and very reliable, with the caveat that it is not a long-term review.
It says the opener was easy to install alone and so quiet it can barely be heard from inside the house. The consumer-style segmented rail did not bother it; it saw no difference in function from a one-piece track and notes it will be easier to dispose of one day.
App, remotes and keypad
The two remotes came pre-programmed and HandyDadTV trained its car's HomeLink from them. In the Aladdin Connect app it set alerts for every open and close, a rule that closes the door if it is left open after 10 p.m., and a notification if it stays open more than 10 minutes.
The weak point is the keypad: to close the door from outside you enter the code and then press the button, where a Chamberlain keypad closes an open door with one press. HandyDadTV leaves a remote inside the garage door for that reason.
Niggles HandyDadTV hit
The power cord is too short; HandyDadTV ran a temporary extension cord until it could add an outlet, and points out that code does not allow that as a permanent fix. One of the two light lenses would not stay on until it swapped them over.
In a later video comparing it with a Chamberlain B2215T it installed for a family member, HandyDadTV adds that the Genie came with lightweight angle iron and bolts, carries a lifetime warranty on the motor and belt and five years on other parts, and works with home automation, while the Chamberlain charges for that.
A second owner's take
In a video review, Nicholas Cordero replaced a broken belt-drive opener with the 7155-TKV and found it pretty easy to install, with the Wi-Fi and remotes connecting perfectly. His one snag was the safety sensors: keeping his old ones left several functions not working correctly until he fitted the new ones.
Combined with new nylon rollers he added at the same time, he says the door is now so quiet it barely registers inside, and he recommends it.
Strengths
- +Quiet: HandyDadTV says it can barely be heard from inside the house, and Nicholas Cordero found it far quieter than his old opener
- +Both reviewers installed it themselves; HandyDadTV calls the install easy to do alone
- +Aladdin Connect app gave HandyDadTV open and close alerts, an auto-close rule after 10 p.m. and remote control
- +Battery backup, two pre-programmed remotes and an outdoor keypad in the box, per HandyDadTV
- +Works with home automation, which HandyDadTV notes Chamberlain charges for
Watch-outs
- −Short power cord; HandyDadTV needed a temporary extension cord to reach an outlet
- −Closing the door from the keypad means re-entering the code, unlike Chamberlain's one-button close, per HandyDadTV
- −One light lens kept falling off in HandyDadTV's install
- −Nicholas Cordero's old safety sensors did not work properly with it; he had to fit the included ones
How it compares
Like the Chamberlain B5330 and the Genie SilentMax Connect (Model 3053), the 7155-TKV is a belt-drive opener with Wi-Fi app control. It has the battery backup the SilentMax Connect lacks, but no built-in camera, which the B5330 has. The Genie 1035 is a basic chain drive without Wi-Fi, and the Genie 4062-TKNMSO is a screw-drive unit.
