The short answer

Chamberlain B5330 comes out ahead by a narrow margin (4.5 vs 4.2). The gap is mostly about Homeowners already committed to the myQ app who want the opener, the garage camera, and the overhead light to be one ceiling-mounted device — read the strengths below before deciding.

Chamberlain B5330

4.5

2 sources$309as of Aug 2

The Chamberlain B5330 is the best-documented opener in this category: PCMag's John R. Delaney had one professionally installed at his own home and scored it 4.0 out of 5, and Bob Vila's reviewer lived with one for two months in Florida and gave it a perfect 5. It pairs a 1 HP belt drive with a 1080p camera and a 1,000-lumen two-bulb light in a single ceiling unit, so it takes the place of an opener, a garage camera, and a light fixture at once. The catches are consistent across both reviews: myQ is a walled garden with no Alexa, Google, or HomeKit support, and the features most buyers assume are included — recorded clips, object detection, video search — are subscription-gated. Buy it if your garage is already a myQ household; look elsewhere if you want it to answer to a voice assistant.

Strengths

— Two independent reviewers installed it and both rated it at or near the top of their scale
— 1 HP belt drive that PCMag found quieter and smoother than the Chamberlain HD950WF it replaced
— Built-in 1080p camera with a 130-degree field of view, so the opener replaces a separate garage camera

Watch-outs

— No Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit support — myQ is the only way in
— Recorded video, face recognition, object detection, and video search all sit behind a myQ subscription; only live streaming and motion alerts are free
— The wireless keypad is not in the box and is sold as a separate accessory

Ranked #4 in Best Garage Door Openers

Genie Signature Series 4062-TKNMSO

4.2

1 sourceall derived$349as of Aug 2

The Genie Signature Series 4062-TKNMSO is the outlier here: a screw drive rather than a belt or a chain, using a rotating steel rod to move the door roughly twice as fast as the alternatives. The Spruce's tester ran one for six months and clocked the door opening in about ten seconds, and the 2 HPc motor is the strongest on this page. Genie backs both the motor and the screw with a limited lifetime warranty. Two honest caveats: only one accepted publication has tested this specific model, so its score rests on a single review, and a garage-door professional quoted in that very article is critical of screw drives generally, calling them loud by default and maintenance-hungry.

Strengths

— The Spruce's tester measured the door opening in about ten seconds — a screw drive moves faster than a belt or chain
— 2 HPc motor, the most powerful in this lineup by a wide margin
— Genie's limited lifetime warranty covers both the motor and the screw drive itself

Watch-outs

— Only one accepted publication has reviewed this exact model, so its rating rests on a single test
— No smart connectivity at all — no Wi-Fi, no app, no voice control
— The motion-activated light is dim, which The Spruce lists among its two objections

Derived means the reviewer published no score, so one was inferred from their written verdict. Everything else is a number the publisher printed. How we rank.

How they stack up

Chamberlain B5330

The B5330 and the LiftMaster 87504-267 Secure View are the two camera openers here, and they split along channel lines — the Chamberlain is a big-box unit a competent owner can have installed in an afternoon, while the LiftMaster is a dealer product. Against the Genie StealthDrive Connect 7155-TKV it trades away Alexa and Google support for the camera and the brighter integrated light. Buyers who want none of that should look at the Genie ChainDrive 550 (2035-TKV).

Genie Signature Series 4062-TKNMSO

Nothing else on this page uses a screw drive, and that is the reason to consider it: it moves the door faster than the belt-driven Chamberlain B5330, Genie StealthDrive Connect 7155-TKV and LiftMaster 87504-267 Secure View, and considerably faster than the Genie ChainDrive 550 (2035-TKV). It gives up every smart feature to do it, and unlike the three belt drives it has no battery backup.
