Let me start by saying I really love the product. The quality of the fabric is nice and it does exactly what they say it does. Quiet, simple movements that can be automated and overall, looks very nice - excellent!That said, there are two issues that prevent a 5-star rating. First, the instructions can be a bit challenging - especially when trying to identify the correct location of the panels in relation to each other. While the individual panels are numbered in pairs, you have to organize the track attachments in such a way as to ensure the motorized panel properly pulls the remaining panels. Lots of trial and error on this - better instructions would definitely assist. *** Suggestion for vendor - instead of numbering them 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, (per panel pair), etc... actually sticker the attachments in the proper order - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.Second, the way the track and panels are designed, there is light leakage from one end for a side mount. In hindsight, this makes sense as the track and panels are designed where one panel is closest to the wall and the others stagger outwards. I have a 4-panel design, side-mount, and there is approximately a 3" gap from the wall to the panel. While they do offer to add an additional 3" of fabric to counter this, that only equates to 1.5" to each side. For my downstairs living room, this is a non-issue as the ambient light spills directly onto another wall just a few inches away, but for my upstairs bedroom, because there is a floodlight out on the street and the doors are in the middle of the wall, a rectangle of light does spill thru. The solution to this would be more fabric than normal or a ceiling mount, but the latter wasn't an option for me, so just be mindful of this. If you have to side mount and bright outdoor lights, you may want to add more fabric to the purchase than they recommend to minimize the light even more.

So I purchased the blinds at 72” by 58” and they fit the wall clamps and other equipment to match the size needed and it works wonderfully. I took a gamble and all works wonderfully

The good and the bad. The product installation instructions are translated from very bad Chinese but this shouldn't deter you. If you have an inkling of tech skills, it won't be an issue. Follow your gut and most of all, my best advice is when actually getting ready to attach to your wall don't use the supplied tape to mark your drill holes to mount the blinds. Actually find the studs above your sliding glass door and mount screws into the studs. It's 100% more secure than the drywall anchors supplied. Find your own #8 2 1/2" drywall screws also. You'll thank me. There are no good videos to look at online to install this particular blind either. That's too bad for a $700 blind. It did hook up rather easy to my home wifi but know that it can only connect to 2.4 g wifi. Connecting to our home automated Amazon Alexa went pretty quick once I figured this out. Finally, if you have no tech skills to install this or don't have anyone handy to do it for you, this is NOT the product for you.

Wonderful customer service. At 79 yrs old I’m a bit behind on these hitech things but C/S was very patient with me and helped me each each step in getting my drapes back on Alexis. Wife LOVES them!

The product works as expected. It was easy to put together, but the instructions could have been more user friendly. The remote is lame, and the app could be a lot more user friendly. However, none of that matters because I'm using voice control and routines.

They did take a little more time then expected to install, when they were up, the blinds look fabulous. Having them motorized is well worth the added cost. They open and close with the touch of a button, smooth and very quiet very well made. Great price for these blinds.

Directions were horrible and extremely difficult to follow for installation. Not enough information provided. Didn't give dimensions of width of remote rail track so had no idea what the length from top of rail rack or valance to the floor was making it difficult to accurately order length of blinds. Once rail was installed had to remove and reinstall because we ended up having to guess at width of rail track and we were about 2 inches off, which was the width of the rail!! Blinds were ALL different lengths. All the blinds had unnatural creases in them after unrolling and hanging for 2 weeks. Screws were too short and unable to hold the weight of the rail and blinds. Had to purchase longer screws, even though all screws have hit studs, the overhang appears too heavy a weight and tends to bend downward. Blinds keep tangling up when opening and closing. Remote control directions are terrible and you can't program remote correctly. Wouldn't recommend product. All materials were cheaply made for the large amount of money spent. Next time ordering products MADE IN THE U.S.A.

I purchased these panels for a sliding glass door for around $450. The reason I was comfortable paying this price is the motorized feature included, which is why I was disappointed to find that the motor plug is only 3’ long. This was not long enough to reach from the motor to a standard floor level wall outlet. When I reached out to Yoolax for a solution, they said to simply plug it into an extension cord in the middle of the wall. I told them that this is an unsightly solution for such an expensive product to which I was given the specs for the motor and wished good luck. As for the rest of the product, the panels are decent quality and affix to the sliding header rails via Velcro. Because the voltage of the motor is an unusual one to find (15v), I was not able to find a suitable extender to the motor plug. If you have a wall outlet within three feet of the panel header, you will be ok. Otherwise, please be advised that you will need to find a suitable extender in order to reach your electrical source.
