Product Review: Chamberlain Whisper Drive Garage Door Opener

The Chamberlain Whisper Drive is a 1/2 HP garage door opener. Priced around $200, this door opener is extremely quiet due to the anti-vibration belt drive. Let’s take a look at some of the other features that make the device a must-buy.

The Chamberlain Whisper Drive features high-tech rolling code technology. The anti-burglary coding system changes the code every time you use the device. This will prevent the door from being opened by an unauthorized remote control.

The garage door opener also comes with a keyless entry pad. This will allow you to open the door even if you have forgotten to bring the remote with you. Speaking of remotes, the Chamberlain Whisper Drive comes with two remote controls that have three programmable buttons apiece. The buttons give you the ability to control a gate, light, or separate door.

Most garage door openers don’t work when the power is out. If you live in an area with frequent power outages you will appreciate the battery backup system provided with the Chamberlain Whisper Drive. The battery backup system provides enough standby power for 24 hours after the power has gone out.

The Chamberlain Whisper Drive also comes equipped with infrared emergency sensors. After setting up the sensors, the door will automatically reverse when there is an obstruction preventing the door from closing completely. This is a vital security feature.

You will also appreciate the fact that the Chamberlain Whisper Drive provides two light sockets that can accommodate two 100-watt light bulbs. This will provide enough light so that you can see in an otherwise dark garage. The Chamberlain Whisper Drive also features a 200-watt security light. The security light can stay on between one and four minutes. The system also features a SoftGlo wall button. The illuminated button is incredibly easy to find in a dark garage.

You also won’t have to hire a professional to install the garage door opener. The Chamberlain Whisper Drive comes with a three-piece rail designed for quick installation. Also, the unit weighs less than 40 pounds, so you shouldn’t have trouble installing it yourself.

If you’re in the market for a garage door opener, you should take a look at the Chamberlain Whisper Drive. With two remote controls and a keyless entry pad, you will never have to manually open your door again. When the power goes out, the battery backup will provide enough standby power to operate for up to 24 hours.
