Thanks to Chamberlain's exclusive Motor Vibration Isolation System (MVIS)--which eliminates powerhead vibration for reduced noise--the WD822KD provides the ultimate in quiet performance. No more grating, squeaking, grinding, or jarring mechanical noises every time your garage door is opened or closed.
Compatible with HomeLink, an in-vehicle remote-control system, and winner of the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, the WD822KD is built to last. Its 1/2-horsepower motor offers steady operation and easy lifting year after year, while the enclosed gear case provides lubrication and protection for long life and smooth movement. Additionally, rugged steel construction guards against damaging wear and tear and the effects of temperature changes.
Fast, Easy Installation in Just 60 Seconds
Quick and easy to install, this system arrives with three railing sections that assemble into one long piece. Clear, easy-to-read instructions guide you through the process step by step--in just one minute you'll have a completely assembled unit.
For added convenience, the WD822KD has a light that delivers 200 watts and has an adjustable time delay so you can enjoy illumination when you need it. It also comes with two three-button remote controls and a keyless entry pad for those times when your remote is not easily accessible.
Advanced Safety and Security Features Protect Against Accidents and Theft
The WD822KD is equipped with safety features that protect users from accidental closings, as well as from break-ins and theft. The included protector system features safety sensors with Rapid-Snap brackets that project an invisible light beam across the door opening and automatically reverse the door if anything interrupts the beam while the door is descending.
For added peace of mind, sensing technology will stop the door from closing if contact is made with a person or object and opener lights will turn on automatically if the infrared beam is broken.
To guard against unauthorized entry or use of your code, Security+ anti-burglary technology sends a new code every time you use your remote control. An added bonus, PosiLock theft protection ensures that once the door is closed, it stays locked.
The WD822KD motor is backed by a lifetime warranty; the belt is backed by a 10-year warranty.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Chamberlain WD822KD Whisper Drive 1/2-HP Belt Drive Garage Door Opener
Customer Review: Excellent product - well made with quality parts, and QUIET
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this product to replace an aging chain-drive LiftMaster. Installation was fairly straightforward; it took me about 8 hours total to install (including coffee breaks) and that included some minor adjustments and clean-up (I'm your average Joe - not especially stupid but not an expert in garage door openers either). Because I was replacing an existing door opener I was able to re-use the header bracket supports and (eventually....) the control unit support brackets too. As noted by a previous reviewer, if you're installing from scratch, some of the fasteners needed for installing your own header bracket support and the control unit support brackets are not included in the box - you should plan accordingly and install these items first before attempting the opener install process. The provided installation document is lengthy but has very clear instructions and excellent diagrams.
Once installed, I found most of the factory settings to be exactly what I needed - mine needed very little adjustment in terms of up/down force or travel distance. The unit is very quiet - MUCH quieter than the chain-drive opener it replaced. The safety sensor clamps provided are a breeze compared to older kits I've had to use and they made sensor aligment trivially simple. Everything worked right out of the box - fit and finish of the various components is excellent, a high-quality product. The unit comes complete with two wireless remotes for use in your car(s), a wired switch for operation from inside your garage and a battery-operated wireless keypad device to enter a four digit number sequence. The last device I actually installed inside my home (as I have a detached garage and it made sense for me to do so) - however, it's typically installed directly outside the garage entrance. All of these devices worked perfectly right out of the box.
Although the product per se worked exactly as advertised, I did have some follow-on problems. I own three cars - all of them equipped with HomeLink (the universal garage door opener technology). Previously, each vehicle's HomeLink button was programmed to operate my old LiftMaster and they all worked fine. However, after reprogramming them all to learn the new WhisperDrive's code - none of them worked. I called Chamberlain tech support but they told me flatly that they wouldn't work on any HomeLink issues (even though this product is advertised as being HomeLink-compatible). Instead, they referred me to Homelink for support - which I found a bit annoying. However, the Homelink support line was great and diagnosed my issue in about two minutes: on this model garage door opener, it's not enough to reprogram the Homelink button in each vehicle. You must also subsequently press the "Learn" button on the WhisperDrive's control unit and within 30 seconds press your reprogrammed Homelink button in your car, so that the WhisperDrive can learn that vehicle's new signal. When it has done so successfully it will blink both control unit lights. Repeat this process for each car.
I'd consider this issue to be a Chamberlain problem (it's not documented in the install guide) and not a Homelink problem. Chamberlain's tech support should have been able to handle this one but instead played the finger-pointing game. However, that's a very small nit in what was otherwise a very pleasant(and unexpectedly uneventful) installation experience and a very satisfactory end result.
A very good product - buy it with confidence.
