Review: do not waste any of your money on anything else - do not waste any of your money on anything else. get this brand. Trust me. that other junk stressed me out! hand to send back with all of that stress. when you get this take the laptop to the gate , bring up youtube and watch, pause watch pause take your time get a beer, coffee, soda, take a break go play the dog a little. next thing you know you are done, and it works great noting worse than re doing instructions, or not being able to understand because you are in a hurry. I have a upscale kinda a house, man it looks great, I got this because we now have the grand kids a few days of the week, this along with the fence, they and the dong are in LOCK DOWN! and it looks like (the housewife show) YEA hit the remote...open gate, I feel rich! no stress , take your time , it feels so good when it comes together- ps I did have one q about a push button I added, she answered the phone, I told her my issue she said< 'honey it will not work if you are using a lighted door bell" I thought that was funny,in a good way... but correct. Got one no light, bada bing bada boom , taking out the trash? push the button!
Review: So far so good. Comparing swing gates to slide gates, we prefer slide gates but the FM502 is working well so far... - Reviews of the GTO and Mighty Mule (MM) Do-It-Yourself (DITY) gates kits are mixed and many folks sustaining lightning strikes are unhappy with GTO/MM warranty coverage of their failed main boards or controller arm circuit boards. Other have has issues with the long term durability of swing gate operator mechanisms. We have had a GTO SL3000 12-volt DC solar slide gate operator in service for ~12 years with few problems other than an out-of-warranty failed main controller board at the 5 year point. Our most recent acquisition and installation was a solar powered Mighty Mule FM502 Heavy Duty Dual Swing gate system purchased via from desertcart. Between the two we prefer the sliding gate design and operator function to that of the relatively slow swing gates operation for both security and strength, but both suffice to control access to your property which is the main point of automatic gates. The installation of the FM502 is straight forward the the operators have worked well in light use. The GTO SL3000 unit s a much heavier duty unit but is for slide (rolling) gates. Some folks have complained the MM FM series swing openers are noisy in operation and we can only assume that complaint relates to the alarm beep option when the gates are either opening or closing. This in-operation alarm can be turned off with an on-board dip switch setting change. Factory default is for alarm sound during operation. The gates otherwise just have a mechanical gear noise that is not obtrusive and is basically a "background" type noise only when in operation. .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beast gate opener!
*by A***R on December 31, 2014*

i have a heavy duty gate, probably weighs well over 600 pounds each and it opens like a champ. Add another battery to make it open and close faster. One battery won't cut it. Buy the extra as it holds 2 inside the case. Also buy solar option, it hooks up easily to the computer panel. This is my 2nd buy for another house. My 1st one was bought 10 years ago and still works like a champ. You just have to becareful to make sure the cotter pins don't fall off or else the arm and fall down and crack the metal because when the sun beats down on it year after year, all it takes is a stump to crack it. I welded it back and works like a champ.
