I have a Ghost Controls and it’s awesome. Easy install and opens every time.

Apollo gate opener here and having first problem in 2 years. Code box at entrance not working. Exit box and remotes still work.

Thanks for the info on Applo. I was trying to remember the name but didn't realize they had been bought out.

I'll look at US Automatic and Ghost.

This. Zero problems so far.

I have the ghost controls and it’s been flawless since I got it 3 years ago.

Another vote for Ghost Controls. I researched gate opener systems for quite awhile before deciding to go with them....been very pleased with mine so far. They have great customer support as well.

I looked at Ghost Controls and they are not priced all that high.

Turns out that my gate problem was a bad battery. It won't hold a charge. New battery and we are all good again.

I really like my Ghost Control. Easy to install and just works. Going on 3 years now.

We have an Apollo 1500 and it has been trouble free for 8 years now. Ours is on a solar panel and I finally had to replace the original battery last year.

US Automatic Patriot for me. I did the 110V with battery backup and it has been great going on 4 years. Use good quality geaseable hinges so your opener's job is easier. The only compliant I have is their manual for installation of the automatic exit sensor is less than great but I figured it out eventually.

That was my problem with my MM 350.? had issues opening and replaced battery and no issues since . Its going on 5-6 years on a fairly light 18' gate... gate is too big BUT wont replace until I have to. I did have some water issues early on as well BUT took apart and small bead of silicone at seam fixed that

[Dusty Britches]

Yes, it seems to get a lot of water in there. The entry port for the lines is open and allows water in. Poor design. I broke the seal and put a bead of grease around it because at the time that's all I had. Dern carpenter ants were getting in there, too, but the same grease on the lines going in stopped them from doing that.

Mine is 13 years old. Other than replacing a battery ever so often I’ve had zero issues

The exit sensor was easy for me. The safety beams and correct programming is what I had to get on a tech support call for.

If you mount the safety beams on top of the control box it works easier.[emoji6]
