Redi ShadeNo Tools Easy Lift Trim-at-Home Cordless Pleated Light Filtering Fabric Shade White, 48" W x 64" L, (Fits windows 31"- 48")

Our cats DESTROYED our traditional blinds; from the street our house looked really bad with all these broken blinds in the windows. On the inside it didn't look much better, and we couldn't close the blinds for more privacy, or adjust them for more or less light. We couldn't even pull them up and out of the way when we wanted to just open a window and let in some air when the weather is nice.I bought three of these for the front-most three windows of the house. Trimming them to fit and hanging them in the windows was a piece of cake. They come with measuring guides pre-printed on them, and a cutting guide to easily set the point where you want to cut, and keep your knife straight. It does take a bit of muscle to push the knife through the plastic at the top and bottom of the blind, but not too bad. I did find they were right that a kitchen knife works better than my good pocket knife. The blade was long enough, and plenty sharp, but the kitchen knife did just work better. Hanging them in the window is just a simple matter of peeling off the tape backing, which has the pre-measured cutting marks, and pressing into the top of the window frame. Peel, stick, press to make sure it's stuck the entire length, done. Pull gently down on the bottom, the blind goes down and stops where ever you stop. Push up on the bottom, it goes back up and stops when you stop pressing. I have no idea how that mechanism works, it just does.I'm sure if the cats take a mind to, they can hook their claws in this material and rip it, or possibly overcome the sticky tape that holds it up, but it won't look as bad as the broken blinds. And it's easy to adjust this upwards to give the cats room at the bottom to get on the window sill and look out, without having a cord hanging down to get snarled in stuff. And if and when the cats destroy these again, they're inexpensive enough to replace again without too much heart-ache.

I needed a temporary solution till I figure out the curtain/blind situation after I moved. Someone recommended this to me and I was skeptical at first so I only ordered one. It worked great so I ordered a bunch more. It is simple to be adjust the size and install it

The media could not be loaded. UPDATE 1/21/2024I had originally wrote this review in February or maybe March of 2023 shortly after I purchased these and started having issues. I just decided to update it because several more have failed along the way in a pretty short span of time with broken cords and adhesive problems and we have just lived with it. In fact, all of them have some kind of issue now that makes me wish I had never purchased them. However, when I went to the order to update the review, it looks like I may have never originally hit the submit button, so if not - here it is now.Oh, and my son, who originally turned me onto these and said they were great, and who didn't have any of the problems that I was seeing, has since experienced all of his breaking one way or another and was forced to move on as well.March 2023 ?I bought 7 of these starting back in 12/2022 and again about the beginning of February 2023. I have 5 of the 48" and 3 of the 30". About the only positive things about them is that they are pretty easy to install and the pleated design looks great. In theory, they should be a decent product at price point for someone who doesn't want to spend a ton of money on a higher quality shade and understands that these won't last anywhere near as long as those nicer ones.With that said...First off, the packaging is not sufficient, as the longer ones usually get bent or crushed in shipping - leaving a noticeable dent or broken plastic on the lower bar - sometimes in several places. Yes, Amazon will, and has replaced those, but time and effort is lost - especially if you don't notice damage until unpacking and possible already cutting.The product itself: I have had multiple issues with all of them, although the shorter ones are a little less problematic overall because they are slightly sturdier by nature of being shorter. However, they all suffer from several common issues. Like others have commented, the adhesive seems hit or miss for how well it secures the shade to the top of window frame. I had one falling down from the top every single day (after it was up for about 3 days). I would put it back up and press the adhesive lined pleat back in place, only to have it be back on the bottom of window in the morning.It is also horrible how the bottom pleat of shade is attached to the bottom bar, as just simply pulling them down a few times has lifted the adhesive attach points from where and how it is attached to that bar. It is the same on all of the shades - even the shorter ones. Just look at the video and photos and you can see how cheaply and poorly designed these are. And, contrary to some reviewers saying that the shades operate effortlessly mine do not. All of them have significant drag/friction in the mechanism as you pull down, and it really stresses the cords and the adhesive - as well as the cheap flimsy plastic the lower bar is made of.Other issues:As others have mentioned, the shades will not open or close to level (at least the longer ones do that for me). One side is always lower - sometimes significantly than the other in both up and down positions. Yes, I can frustratingly play with it for a while and get it about right, but it is not easy and I am very mechanically inclined. Honestly I shouldn't have to fight with these at all just to use them as designed. The instructions say that this problem is caused when the cord tension becomes unbalanced, and how to fix, but I can say that the fix does not work for this inherent issue. This is less of a problem on the shorter ones.The longer shades WILL NOT retract smoothly and evenly. They start to in the beginning, but about two thirds of the way up or so, they no longer have tension and bunch up. You have to struggle with multiple attempts to get them all the way up and they usually will not be straight when finished. Another example of a fault in the design of the mechanism.Lastly, the one in the photo that shows the shade that kept falling to the bottom because of poor adhesion (my surface was prepped clean and not the problem) just tonight permanently failed when the left side cord just broke while it was being pulled down. These shades are operated carefully, so this should not have happened a month and a half from installation, but seeing there is so much tension and resistance when you pull them down, I am not surprised. Again - look a the video and you can see the tension. Not one of mine operate smoothly and easily, and I can assure anyone that they are indeed installed properly.Well, that about wraps up this review. I cannot believe that many of these reviews are authentic, as they give such glowing accounts of how great this product is. That fact is that they are cheaply made, have a bad extension and retraction mechanism design, and just all around do not live up to the hype. I understand they are an approximate $30-$50 product and not the same caliber of product as something that cost 2-4 times their cost, but these should be much better than they are. For all these reasons I cannot recommend them at all. Sorry Redi Shade - you need to rethink/redesign this product and do better. Your customers should not be experiencing these common faults without you doing something to correct. I believe you have been in business for a good while, so no excuse to have this crappy of a product - or perhaps this level of quality control problem seeing that there are a good number of people who don't seem to have any issues.

First this is a really good looking blind for the price. In fact looking at them installed they appear like a much more expensive blind. They are rather sturdy in design and I have not noticed any sun fading. The blinds are a breeze to install, just follow the directions in cutting, you will trim an equal amount from both ends, otherwise the blind will not function. I used a fine blade hacksaw. For the price, I do not think you will find a better looking blind.Now as far as the self adhering tape, it does not hold very well in my experience. You can use another double sided tape that will hold much better. Or you can use a few staples or screws. After having four of them fall down I just used an automotive double sided tape which solved the problem.Also when the blinds come in, make sure to inspect them well prior to install. I received four that were damaged. They were bent which left visible lines on the plastic, I returned them and got replacements. Overall a really great looking product for an incredible bargain.

Para empezar las instrucciones no están claras ni completas, uno tiene que adivinarle. Luego están difíciles de usar, para bajarlas hay que jalar fuerte y pues siendo de papel, no entiendo por qué. Subirlas NO es fácil (he tenido otras de papel y se suben con pincitas por ejemplo)Finalmente, después de menos de 24 horas ya están así, o sea, además su calidad es mala.No caigan.

I read all the reviews very thoroughly before ordering this blind and decided to listen to the good reviews and take the bad with a grain of salt and I am very glad I did!!I am so impressed! The hardest part was cutting the blind to the right size and honestly, if I had used a sharper knife it would have been a breeze. Even without the perfect knife was still pretty easy and only took a few minutes to cut it down to the length.The built on measuring tape was very helpful and once the blind was the right length, the actual install took a few seconds. I took the time to clean the top of my windowsill and stuck it on securely and easily. It’s been a couple of weeks now with absolutely no issues. The blind is straight and goes up and down smoothly.Just as important, it looks great! It lets in some light without being either too bright or dark.I will definitely be ordering more!!

Quedan bien y se ven de buena calidad. Son fáciles de cortar para un buen ajuste. Sin embargo, el adhesivo para fijarlas es insuficiente y necesitan una "ayudadita" para su instalación definitiva, especialmente si la pintura donde se van aponer es granulosa y no completamente plana.

Super producto. Funciona perfecto y en menos de 5 minutos tienes una persiana muy bonita. Muy fácil de cortar a la medida con un cuchillo (tal y como muestran en el video). Fácil de colocar, fácil de subir y bajar.

I searched and found the most conveniently structured and eye catching pull down blind here on Amazon. It took a matter of minutes to cut to length and install… and it looks great!Highly recommend this design.
