Smart Motorized Blinds with Remote Control, Blackout Roller Shades, Custom Smart Blinds with Valance, Cordless Electric Window Blinds & Automatic Shades(White,35" Wx72 H)

We've had this over a year. It works reliably and blocks light well. it was reasonably easy to install, though the battery compartment cover slides into the mounty hardware if you don't position the mounting just right (I just removed the cover once I realized I hadn't planned for this in mounting the blind). I'd buy it again.

I love how fast it operates. Opens and closes very fast. Blacks out outside light really nice. Didn't install as easy as it says. I had to reposition the clips closer so I could make the shade clip in better , but not before I broke a piece off. Unfortunately I'm not able to upload my photos from my gallery. It has to be the gallery this amazon app creates. Pretty much a joke.The remote, feels cheap and very light. But it works. Programming it wasn't too bad. Two attempts and it was good.I was interested in getting a hub for automated operation but thar will take 3 -4 weeks for delivery. Not interested in that.There's a lot of mixed reviews. Myself I'm rather pleased.

We got this in the summer and it’s now January, so far it’s working. We were worried because it’s solar-powered and it costs more than regular blinds. It’s very convenient to just push the remote and it will open and close. It is very slow though. It will take over a minute to close or open all the way. We really like the look and it is worth the money.

I am pretty satisfied with this motored window blind. First of all, it's very easy to install with all the parts you need to install, even the screw driver that could replace remote battery. Secondly, the quilty of this whole blind is very good, could fit all newer build home style, the texture of the blind cloth is good as well. In addition, it's battery driven including with the 8 AA batteries inside which I prefer than rechargeable. Most importantly, the motor runs very smooth and sliently, the motor responses to the remote very rapid with barely delay. One drawback is that, this could not work with Google smart home directly unless you purchase another hub from this store, but still worth the purchase for the quality.

Overall I'm happy with these blinds. They're easy to set up, they're lightweight, the motor is relatively quiet, and they open and close smoothly.But, I do think the manufacturer and seller need to be more clear that this requires a smart home hub. I am currently using Google Assistant and running Home Assistant on a home server to handle smart home devices. In the middle of setting these up I got more suspicious that these wouldn't automatically connect to a service like Google assistant. Once I was finished, I realized that was the case and had to read through a lot of literature that came with the blinds to finally find out that it requires a smart home hub like Tuya or Zigbee. So I had to go and buy a separate item for these to work with my smart home setup. The blinds do say that they work with Amazon alexa, but I do not have an Amazon alexa, so I cannot say for certain if you need to buy anything separate for the blinds to work with that.Overall, I wish these blinds could be operated without a hub and could connect to Google assistant on their own. Once I get the hub and connect them to that, I'll be happy.

Update: the batteries have lasted so far for 16 months! We raise and lower the blind once daily. It darkens our MBR well. 45 seconds to raise and lower and it’s quiet. Can be lowered to preset length or paused anywhere in between. I was reluctant to buy when I saw another review of the blind lowering down crooked, however I found out when our batteries finally died after 20 MONTHS - that’s when one side rolled up and one side was slower, resulting in the blind not rolling up perfectly even on both sides. Replace the batteries and problem resolves. The instructions say the blind should be taken down to install new batteries, but I was able to do it with the blind in place. The only drawback for me is the material is a thick plastic and I wish it had more of a fabric look/feel.

Really nice price and looks great in my updated bathroom! Love it!

I read lots of reviews before I purchase anything and sometimes I get discouraged when I read the 1-star reviews. But, you have to understand perhaps not everything comes out of the factory perfect or some people just can't DIY and get motivated to give something a bad review when they get upset. Anyway, these are perfect and I thought I would post a video so to back them up. They work perfectly-- someone mentioned that they don't work with the BOND hub--- btw you are wrong -- you just need to scroll down past all the name brands to "Other Blinds" and follow the directions.
