Are LiftMaster and Craftsman the same?

LiftMaster and Craftsman garage door openers are essentially the same product made by same parent company Chamberlain Group, sharing same technology, motor, and parts, but marketed under different brands with slightly different features and distribution, so they are not exactly same brand but same manufacturer. Chamberlain Group manufactures garage door openers under Chamberlain, LiftMaster, and Craftsman brands, all using same Security+ rolling code technology, same motor designs, and same logic boards, with differences mainly in branding, accessories, warranty, and where sold. LiftMaster is professional line sold through garage door dealers, offering premium features like battery backup, MyQ, higher horsepower, and longer warranty, with models like 8355W, 84505, 8500W. Craftsman was retail line sold at Sears and later Lowes, essentially same as Chamberlain retail line, offering chain and belt drive models like Craftsman 1/2 HP chain drive that are same as Chamberlain C203 and LiftMaster 8360W internally. So internally, LiftMaster and Craftsman openers with same Learn button color are same, but LiftMaster often has premium features and professional installation support, while Craftsman had retail packaging and Sears warranty. Since Craftsman garage door openers are now discontinued, LiftMaster is current brand. So yes, LiftMaster and Craftsman are same manufacturer and essentially same product with different branding.
