Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday, with 24-hour giveaways just for you!

Have you ever wondered if you remembered to close the garage door? Or have you ever worried about the safety of your garage door? If so, then the Genie SilentMax 1000 garage door opener and its many new safety features will offer you peace of mind.
Not only does the SilentMax 1000 provide intelligent design for the homeowner that wants quiet performance with superior design and conveniences, it also offers some pretty amazing safety features like a comprehensive Safe-T-Beam system that meets or exceeds CSA regulations, an auto reversing system that prevents it from closing if something is in the way, and a superior encryption system that automatically changes the access code every time you use it to prevent unauthorized persons from opening your garage door.
The Genie SilentMax 1000 is so simple to install that my husband was able to put it up without assistance in about an hour. I have to say it definitely lives up to its name — it’s the quietest garage door opener I’ve ever heard (or not heard in this case). I was in the house and had no idea he was already testing it out!

I love the keypad entry system because it means I don’t have to carry bulky keys with me when I go for a walk or to the park, and it’s also great for those rare occasions when the kids beat me home from school. They just punch in our PIN number, and can let themselves into the house.

One of my favorite features is the optional Network Adapter. It’s easy to get distracted when pulling out of the driveway with a carload of kids, so this handy little feature tells me at a glance whether or not I’ve remembered to shut the garage door. The Network Adapter remote will beep and flash green when closed properly or give a warning tone and flash read when not closed properly.
Today, one lucky Deal Seeking Mom winner will win a Genie Silent Max 1000 Garage Door Opener prize pack that includes:
- One SilentMax 1000 Garage Door Opener
- Closed Confirm 3-button Remote and Network Adapter Combo

My biggest concern is that the main cable will break and crash down on 1) a person or 2) my car. I also don’t like when it gets picky in the winter and sometimes doesnt open at all!
Sony
My biggest safety concern with garage doors is forgetting them open. Our door is sometimes left open inadvertently by family members & I know it is very dangerous.

Our garage door opener has been broken for a couple of years. It would be great to have a new one before winter gets here. My biggest concern is a malfunction which could crush one of our animals.

My biggest concern is forgetting to close it. My son is closing on his new house tomorrow and I would love to give this to him for the new house.

Lydia
I don’t really have any concerns with garage door openers, but I’ve also never seen one drop without closing it. I’m extra careful to make sure there is nothing in the way before closing. I would love to have an opener for my husbands side of the garage!
Julie
my biggest safety concern is that I will leave the garage door open.

Almost every time I leave the house, I have to circle back around to double check that I shut the garage door. I’m so afraid that I’ll leave it open and give burglars free access!
Debi Spear
I think like everyone else, biggest fear would be injury to a person or pet, plus I hate leaving and not remembering if I hit the close button
