Garage door motor

Clive_Woody

I have a roller blind type garage door and today I found out that the motor in it has died. I have a choice of motors a 'Somfy' motor which comes with a 5 year warranty or a cheaper 'Neco' version that only comes with a 1 year warranty.

I was wondering if anyone on here has any experience of these and could comment whether it is worth paying more for a Somfy motor of if in reality the cheaper motor is likely to last well anyway?

Thanks

Somfy every time for me! The cheaper one (I have never heard of) will be cheaper for a reason.

Thanks, the current motor is a Somfy and lasted 7 years but recently died, I was curious whether getting the cheaper model would be a false economy or whether I was paying extra with the Somfy just for the warranty.
