I'm not so sure if asking "what is the worst" will define your question.

So I would like to know why! I suggest we pick apart a manufacturers controller as to why it would make this thread.

Such as my experience has been the contractors on the Galaxies are undersized and fail prematurely.


Make good choices,

The old finder relays located on Thyssen TAC 20's....k7-12 would drop back contacts and give some really strange faults. Swap them blue dogs out for schrak relay and life is good.

AS for current controllers, KONE KCM with COB Boards. Pull the Main line on a car in service working fine, restore power and "Bingo" bad COB board. Supposed to be fixed with a new version board but still hearing it happening with new version boards. Also Traction relation on the MX machines is horrible. Rope slippage will get much worse with time also. Accel & Decel rates have to be slowed to prevent slippage. Would not recommend this product for my Garage Door. lol!!
