893Max

Not all Chamberlain/Liftmaster remotes are universally programmable. I'm an old lady. Yea, old, 68 this year. If I can figure this mess out,so can you. I own a home with two older model Chamberlain Liftmaster Pro Formula 1 openers. PURPLE button. (That part is important) I did not know that. Now, we both do. I also have a shop, where I park my vehicles, with two new models on them. One unit was just installed a week or so ago on the big shop door. Both of these units have the YELLOW programming button. I'd read that the Chamberlain remotes were generally backwards compatible. And they ARE with one caviat. The color of the programming buttons. But I didn't know this at the time. So, I spent about half a day trying to get the new remotes to program with three of the doors, two at the shop,one at the house. I was lugging a ladder back and forth from the shop to the house and between bays in the shop while trying to program two with yellow buttons, one purple. After a great deal of frustration, searching, YouTube videos and downloading destructions, I was about ready to start throwing things and decided I'd have to use two remotes after all. Yes, colorful language was used at this point. Then, on a last ditch effort, I started researching the four different model numbers on my remotes I finally found instructions that said that the remotes that fit units with yellow buttons will not work with the purple ones UNLESS you have the 893MAX. I just happened to have one. So, I set out to program it to all the doors, and just like that BAM! Worked like a champ. I promptly ordered two more. Yes, they are compatible. Programming this remote to both the yellow and purple button units was quick and easy. Didn't give me any sass at all. I chose the Chamberlain brand, paid twice as much as the Chinese knock offs because after reading their reviews, I just didn't have enough fight left in me to fiddle with all the stuff others seemed to go through with the knock offs. I knew these would work. If you're trying to mix and match multiple units with different colored programming buttons, save yourself the frustration, bite the bullet and just buy these. Then, spend the rest of your day doing something that you enjoy instead of lugging a ladder around and cussing like I did.

Exactly what I needed. Works well and was easy to set up.

This is a real LiftMaster remote. I'm always worried about paying more for something that may not be legit but this remote connected flawlessly with our wall remote and works perfectly.

I ordered these after buying a used garage door opener with no expectations that they would work. To my surprise, these worked amazingly, they were easy to program and the buttons are great. Overall it was a great value and well worth the money!

Was easy to set up

I give this item four stars because of problems with the battery that came installed in the unit. This is the second time I have purchased this item. I only needed a second one because my handyman took my last one, then left town for several weeks. Ironically, I had the same problem with this remote as I did with the first one. The battery that came pre-installed just did not work. I went through the instructions four times, and still, it did not operate. Finally, I remembered this was the issue I had with the first remote I purchased, so I grabbed a new Energizer battery I had on hand and tried again. Bingo! Wish I knew why this has happened twice to me, but at least the problem was resolved. And it has taught me to always keep a supply of new Energizer batteries around the house.

I have a Liftmaster that came with the house, but it didn’t work using my phone to control it. I bought the MyQ device which helped but still couldn’t connect my lift master to my car without the remote. After purchasing this product, the process was so simple and very quick. I had no issues getting my car to start opening my garage. The only issue is that the product does feel very cheap, but I only needed it for my car so i just stored it away in case I need it in the future.

Great replacement
