## Description

Will receive the 2220L as replacement. The 3255 has been discontinued. NO RAIL ASSEMBLY IS INCLUDED (1) Remote included

Review: Great- but a minor issue surfaced - Fit perfectly. The automatic setup for travel and torque was outstanding. The myQ app was easy and worked perfectly. I sent an invite to my wife and it installed just as easily. I replaced both of our 12 year old openers so these comments apply to both. No difference . Very pleased. Update 3/26/2024- I have intermittent issues with one opener not closing all the way but going back up. I think it is a torque setting too sensitive but this is the down side of automatic settings I guess.
Review: Satisfied - Purchased this 3255 contractors model to replace a 2265-67 professional model that was installed originally in 2004 .. I was very satisfied, really quick 2 day delivery. Quick and easy removal and installation of the motor head all screws and connectors were identical. Programming was a little challenge primarily because the manual did not clearly show the learn button sequences and they were physically hard to see, received a better view from the website and was able to get the thing programmed. Overall I’m satisfied

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For the price, and ease for replacement
*by K***E on July 30, 2013*

I bought this unit instead of buying the typical $20 to $35 replacement parts for the metal drive gear, washers and plastic worm gear. I figure it was better to buy this entire unit which came with a new logic board, new gears and the like so that I have the peace of mind that I dont have to replace any other old parts on the old unit (this includes any of the safety sensors and the like). Also, this package included a remote, so now I have another one to use along with the old unit and another wall unit button as well to use that I can put it closer to the inside portion of the garage door for more options. If you have the money to spare, this was more of a time saver and you do get 1 more remote to use. Definitely a plug and play approach to replace a broken 3255 unit.
