'It's peace of mind when you leave. You know your garage door is closed and your house is secure.'

" I've been redoing a garage and I'm trying to find DIY stuff that makes your garage a nicer place to work or pull your car into or store your stuff, whatever you need. What's really unique about this (Genie) product, and I do this all the time when I go traveling, I close the garage door and I drive down the block and I go 'Did I close my garage door?' I just can't remember. So, I go back home (to look) just for peace of mind. (Genie's new remote control system) is called Closed Confirm. It's a little adapter that goes on the garage door (opener) that sends a light to the (remote). It gives you a green light if its good, or a red light if there's a problem. It's peace of mind when you leave. You know your garage door is closed and your house is secure. "

'48 thumbs up for Genie!!!' (That's 2 thumbs per tester!)

We subjected the new Genie SilentMax 1000 belt drive garage door opener and Closed Confirm remote accessory to the ultimate critics - 24 members of HANDY Magazine's Handyman Club of America:

"WOW! I never realized a garage door opener could be so quiet. One time my back was turned to the door, and when I pushed the button to close the door, it was so quiet I could not tell if it was working without turning around."

- James S.

"I have a long driveway, and I've always hated getting to the end of it and wondering if I closed the door. This Closed Confirm adapter is awesome. The range isgood enough that I can hit the button and drive away, and by the time I get to the end of the driveway, this beauty tells me that the door is closed or lets me know if something happened and the door went back up. I love it!!!"

- Ritchie C.

"OMG! The quietest opener ever. Sleek design looks great, and it was very easy to install."

- Tom O.

'I love this garage door opener...'

" It is so much quieter than our last one. The last one would wake up the kids when it went up and down (their rooms are above the garage). With the new Genie Silent Max 1000, they sleep soundly when hubby has to leave work in the morning! It is a fabulous opener! "

'We have been using the SilentMax 1000 for about two weeks and one of my favorite things is how quiet it is...'

"...Our old garage door opener was so loud that you could hear it in the living room when the garage door would open, but no more. I also like the wireless keypad that I installed outside the garage door so I don't need to go inside the house or have my remote to open the door. "

'For starters, [the SilentMax 1000] is about half the size and a quarter of the weight of our old opener...'

" With step-by-step instructions the installation was quite simple for my dad and husband. After an afternoon and evening, the Genie was fully installed and ready to be used. We opened the garage and were absolutely amazed at how quiet it was. In fact, the Genie didn't make any at all--only the garage door itself creaked as it rose. "
