Tools and Hardware Reviews of Genie GIT-1BL One-Button Remote Control with Intellicode
Customer Review: Works great w/ idiot proof programming...
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this remote for my Overhead System, which the remotes for it are terrible! It took literally 60 seconds to program the 2 new replacement Genie remotes. Climb up so you can find a certain button on your opener, called the "learn code button" (I told you it's idiot proof) press it once, press your new garage remote once then click it a second time, repeat with the other remote, boom...you're done. Simple and they've been working just fine. Directions also came in the box. They're not really sturdy so I won't be surprise if wear and tear gets to them. But we'll have to see. Overall: cheap,simple, effective. I got mine from Sanford & Sons w/ lightning fast shipping and don't know if it's standard but both remotes came with batteries installed.Customer Review: Genie One-Button Remote with Intellicode
Summary: 5 Stars
Well what can you say about a remote? Either they work, or they don't! This one worked. It worked well. The price was very good, the Amazon merchant packed it well, and shipped it quickly. I am glad I ordered it. Then again, I had no choice. Genie only gives you one remote with the model garage door opener I installed. I could have bought a remote directly from Genie at a considerably higher price. And, the local home-improvement store only carried a mini keychain version of the remote for double the price. Keychain remote seemed impractical because key ring gets banged around and it would make keys feel bulky in pocket.
This was a good deal, good value, and good experience. I would not hesitate to do again.
Customer Review: Cheaply made, but it works.
Summary: 3 Stars
I was looking for a replacement garage door opener and came across this one. Description says it will work on Intellicode openers manufactured after 1995, I checked mine, it was manufactured in 1996. Prime shipping was fast like always. The remote was packaged in a plain white box, programming it was fairly easy and took less than one minute, it worked right away. The only problem is it's made so cheaply with the cheapest kind of plastic, the battery door doesn't even fit nicely. It looks like it will break right away if it happens to get dropped. For $20 I paid, I would expect something with more decent quality, like the one I had before, which was made in Canada, and this one is made in China.Customer Review: Bad luck???
Summary: 1 Stars
I promise I'm not posting a "rant" here; I just have had horrible luck with this transmitter (and receiver). Do yourself a favor, and get the Chamberlain system -- it is much more reliable, has the same security, and you don't get the range restrictions that the Genie systems have.
I got to the point (after replacing the receiver and 3 transmitters) that I had to get out of my car, and walk up to the windows on the garage door to get the thing to respond at all. Even then it was a 10% chance that the door would open.
Congratulations Genie, your Intellicode system works well -- so well that the consumer can't even open their own garage door...
Customer Review: remote for genie IC250/A
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased two remotes for our Genie IC250/A. When we tried to setup the first remote it did not work. While on the call with Genie (manufacturer), they asked us to try the other remote which worked right away. The support person asked us to open the two devices and try to swap batteries. The remote which was not working finally worked and we were advice to contact the dealer we bought the remotes from.
I called Amazon who offered me to send back the device and get a refund for the full amount or get a smaller refund covering the cost of a replacement battery.
Just to be clear, setting up the remote was really straight forward and everything works fine.
