Nice when it works, junk though

Written: Oct 14 '10 (Updated Oct 14 '10)
Pros:Quiet, nice when it works.
Cons:Will start having problems after warranty expires.  Sear's warranty coverage is terrible.

After 1 year, intermittent closing problems.  Sears wants $65 to just look at it and then however much to fix it.  They told me that labor is only 90 days, and parts are 1 year.  This opener quit working just after the warranty expired. This is planned obsolescence.  It replaced a 15 year old Craftsman opener that worked fine - it was just loud (bedroom above garage), so I wanted something quieter.  Craftsman quality is down and I will never buy another Craftsman product again.  They were good in the 90's, but now, garbage!  I used to buy Craftsman everything (lawnmower, blower, chainsaw, weedwacker, lawn tractor, tools, etc.) and I got a lot of good use out of them.  Now, since I've replaced most of the above, I'm having problems with whatever I've replaced.  Never again.  Craftsman = Junk!
