Motorized Blinds with Remote, [Free Solar Panels] Cordless Smart Blinds with Valance Cover, Blackout Electric Blinds with Remote Control, Automatic Roller Shades for Windows White 34" W x 72" H

The media could not be loaded. I bought 3 of these to replace the cellular blinds that costed ridiculously more and had an average lifespan of 2.5 years, and couldn’t be happier with them. I’m planning to replace other windows as well.The blinds came well packaged and with good instructions. Quality seems good especially compared with another brand I bought and returned. Installation was easy. I took more time to look for side channels between them and on the sides to completely block out lights. I eventually found an outside corner trim made of PVC in local Home Depot that looks great and is very easy to install. The end result both looks and works great.Paired with the Citolen smart hub, I can easily link to Alexa and Google Home. To my surprise I found I could add the commands to Siri so it works with Apple as well. Another bonus is Tuya app automatically adds to Apple Watch and that became my favorite control especially when I want to be quiet. Some reviews complained the wireless range was short but I found I cloud place the smart hub in another room about 25 feet away and it worked well.Just a couple of minor improvements I can think of:1. The remote occasionally (~10%) doesn’t work. The same with smart hub. It seems it’s an issue with the wireless module in the blinds. I worked around by repeating the steps in the Tuya app.2. The fabric looks nice but there were frays on the edge. I used fray check to solve the problem but it would be nice to be done by the manufacturer.3. The bottom rail is a bit too light and could be stuck to the side channels. Conveniently though it is hollow inside and could be opened from both sides. I bought some 3/16” x 36” steel rods also from Home Depot and slides them in. That solved the problem.3.

These motorized blinds are a total game-changer for convenience and style. The blackout design blocks out light completely, and the free solar panel keeps them powered without constant charging. Setup is easy, and they work seamlessly with Alexa and Google Home for hands-free control. The remote is a nice touch for quick adjustments, making these perfect for bedrooms, offices, or any space needing privacy and automation. If you’re looking to upgrade your home with smart blinds, these are a solid pick!

While not perfect, these are well worth the price and can be easily improved after installation for about 5 bucks. If these were more expensive I would rate it lower, but considering the price I'm satisfied.The good:Clean and easy install, especially with the version that includes the solar charger. Programming the min/max limits is easy and only takes a few seconds. The blinds include a small and simple remote that seems to work even from the next room. While not completely silent, these are fairly quiet. The material blocks out light completely even in direct sunlight.The meh:The edges of the fabric are prone to fraying, especially if not calibrated perfectly. This was exacerbated by some of my blinds being out of alignment, causing them to get stuck on one side. While it turned out to be an easy fix, the installation instructions don't cover this process. The bottom bar is very light and can easily get stuck. Also an easy fix.The fixes:For the alignment, if you notice the shade is tracking left or right (very apparent after it is rolled up), unroll it all the way (past it's normal lower position) and place a small piece of masking tape (1-2 inches was all I needed) on the side it is tracking AWAY from. Roll it up, check, repeat until you get it right.For the weight, pop open the end caps on the bottom bar and slide in a 3/16" or 1/4" steel rod from the hardware store. It adds just enough weight to help.My only gripe that can't be fixed easily is that in order to use these with a home assistant or app you have to buy a hub. Would be nice to have that feature built in or included. But seems like the ones that have that built in are much more expensive.

Bought these motorized blinds for our new front windows (4) about 18 months ago because we have grand dogs that bark ALOT when looking out our windows when they visit! They are awesome! Good quality & worked perfectly with the remote! They were easy to install as well. Great customer service!When changing out the batteries this week the plastic part on one of the metal brackets broke. We notified the seller of the issue through Amazon. We were seeking information on how to find a replacement bracket. The seller promptly responded & mailed us a replacement bracket that arrived promptly as well!! And No more Barking Dogs!! 😆

Ok so I don’t have to tell you that these are significantly cheaper than any other motorized blinds on the market. But so far, for me that’s the only thing I’m loving about them.The instructions are just horrible. It’s like they give you just enough information to get them mounted and that’s it. After much trial and error I finally have the WiFi bridge working with home assistant.I am very good at fixing and building things but I can seem to figure out how to:1) mount the cover that goes on the roller2) plug the solar panel in without damaging the usb c plug. There isn’t enough clearance between where the USB c plugs in and the wall where the mounts are screwed into. I have damaged two of the usb c plugs and have had cut the cable and splice in a new usb c plug and as of now I have it plugged into the front of the unit instead of the rear which doesn’t look the best.So now I’m trying to decide if I return the 6 shades I purchased or open up the unit and hard wire the solar panel which just doesn’t seem like something I should have to do on a brand new device.Really kinda bummed about this.Update: one by one these blinds have stopped functioning and are now a complete waste of money. Worst purchadse ever!!!!
