No, that is not a mis-spelling. Sommer is a relatively unknown but intriguing and innovative garage door opener (gdo) manufacturer. I think I have alluded to them before, but here are some of the highlights:
There is only one moving part on the operator, therefore vitrually nothing to wear out, and carries a lifetime warranty. The motor itself moves back and forth on the rail. It is attached to the door arm directly to raise and lower the door. That means that there is virtually nothing to wear out or go bad. It still has all the other common features of gdo's: a motor-less head with lights that come on when the gdo is operated, a rail for the motor to ride in, safety sensors and remote. The remote is quite space-age looking as well. Looks like something out of Star Trek.

The price is reasonable, as well, from what I have seen, for a gdo that will likely last a lifetime, as it has a lifetime warranty. Sure, its not "mainstream", but that does not mean it isn't quality machinery. Some of that good old German engineering.... like Harley-Davidson... and the starship Enterprise (okay, that's a stretch, but not by much).
