Review: Great Blinds at a Great Price - I love these blinds. The material is good quality and the physical installation was straight-forward. I measured correctly and my room is almost completely blacked out (I opted not to get the side pieces that help with it further). There is some light around the sides and top, but very little. The only real "downside" is that the instructions for the smart system are pretty basic. I opted for the P440 motor which connects directly with certain supported desertcart devices. Make sure that you verify your device is on the list, as I mistook the Echo (4th Generation) for the Echo Dot (which is not supported, at least not directly). Once I purchased a correct device, I was able to get the device to sync. Anyway, to sync the device with the Echo, you have to press a button 3x rapidly, and then hold for 3 seconds and the motor will jog, indicating you did it properly. You then say "Alexa, discover my devices". This step took me multiple tries and I eventually powered off the blinds (and somehow accidentally reset the settings on them). Once I did manage to get my Echo to connect to them, I had issues with the voice commands as well. While the instruction manual said I should say "Alexa, open/close the blinds", Alexa responded that the device did not support that command. However, I was able to say "Alexa, open the blinds to X%" (0 being fully opened, 100 being completely down) and that worked. I eventually added custom commands in the Alexa app under the routine option for opening and shutting the blinds (and now I can say "Alexa, open the blinds"), as well as a custom routine to close the blinds at sunset. You will need to set commands in the Alexa app, as there is no actual functions shown (unlike on/off for lights and other devices). All-in-all, I find them a great value for the money, just make sure you are somewhat tech savvy, as the syncing with Alexa is a little difficult. The remote worked immediately for me and is pretty simple, with an up/down/stop function.
Review: Accurate fit and great out of the box experience. - Shipping: was much faster than predicted when we ordered and coming from China. Arrived in 3 days from ordering through UPS. Quality out of the box was amazing. Well packaged. Instructions were simple and easy to understand. (We liked the little mascot and attention to detail in the instruction booklet. Well done!) Material is all metal construction and the white looks so clean. Set Up: It worked out of the box and already pre programmed to our size specifications. Just pop the batteries in and it rolled down slowly stopping right at the bottom of the window almost perfect. Only Gripe: You can hear the motor. Not too loud but noticeable. Caveat: I have not connected to my Alexa yet but plan to soon. Our first time ordering such a custom item on desertcart for our home. Keep up the good quality work, we may order for all our other bedroom windows.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Blinds at a Great Price

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ These work Great! Install has some considerations - Points to Ponder
*by D***O on December 13, 2020*

I ordered these window shades because we needed something over our new windows and new kitchen remodel but didn't want to take away from the clean lines with a lot of overpowering window dressing. if you got to look at the big box stores, motorized blinds end up being quite higher than these turned out to be, which is why we risked doing this via Amazon. Risk so far was unfounded! I have some details and points to ponder: 1) we ordered the sample swatch kit to help make a decision on fabric for the shade. Don't be dismayed when you order this - and it says you will receive it in a month. Not the case. ordered the sample kit and it was here in three days. so that accelerated our ability to order. 2) when you provide measurements - make sure and follow their naming conventions in the ordering sections. they have a format they want it in. the edge of the housing on the shade is about half inch on the motor side and about 1/4 inch on the other. 3) within the sections for the custom measurements and features you want - there are a few extras to consider. one is the type of remote. i went with the 15 channel and the battery pack shades. you DO NOT need a remote with each blind, one will rule them all or individually. i did get two remotes as we may get more of these for other areas of our house. but one would control up to 15 or 16. will also work with Alexa or Google via their devices coupled with a smart outlet if you chose. i didn't choose that as i didn't want these to be plugged in all the time. 4) we chose inside mount on our windows, and not outside/wall mount to avoid the holes that get done over and over for different window treatments on the walls. CONSIDER THIS - the brackets only hold the shade from the top - not the sides. so if you intend to affix to the side of the jamb you cannot. in our case, i did have to make a modification to the spring loaded brackets. the picture of the bracket with my hand shows that our jamb is too shallow to use the hole in the top of the bracket. and the other holes would have drilled into the window casing itself, so that was problematic. i drilled a hole in each back further on the top - between the two springs, making sure not the obstruct the slide of the clip that grabs the blind. took about 5 minutes to drill out six brackets. 5) if you have a window that is set into a wall well, such as the picture of the smaller window with the plants above, when you MEASURE - be sure to take the smaller of the two measurements between where the blind will actually sit and the outer edge of the wall box. mine was JUST a hair too long to just insert the blind. i had to angle it and then get it into the window area where it would sit, then tap it up into place. My fault - but it worked. just have some touch up on the inside of the wall. 6) you have the option to order a usb cord (5 or 6 foot) when customizing your blinds for charging. that would be extra and unneeded as please know that EACH BLIND you order will have a cord with it. it DOES NOT come with a charging block. any block will work. 7) my shades seemed to be charged almost fully when i received them. states to charge for 10 hour then you'll get 3-6 mos use between charging depending on use. will update on that when i get there 8) Remote does NOT come with the "watch" sized battery needed to run it. they are CR2450s. 9) my blinds seemed to be pre-programmed to the remote with positions already. pretty straightforward. and works really well. has an upper and lower setting you can program to for an automated open and shut level if you wish. you can control each separately or all of them at once (Channel 0) 10) Installation consideration - make sure you go in from end of blind about 5 inches or so if you can. it's easier to get the blind latched up into the clip. they are spring loaded, you put the back side edge of the casing into the clip on each end, and push in - they move back under spring load so you can then get the front side up and into the stationary clip and it is that easy. 11) i chose the weighted rod at the bottom. this is a must have in my opinion. five bucks a blind i think that was 12) you can choose which side the motor is on on each of your blinds. that does not however make a difference on the profile of the blind, only that the receiving wire and charging port are at that end. tuck the wire behind the shade and its invisible. (it's about 3 inches long) 13) SHIPPING - when you order your blinds - you will get a shipping date of arrival a month out. i figured that would hold true since they are custom made. however we got them in 7 days. 14) if you're ordering multiple shades/blinds, and you receive them and open, mine came in multiple boxes. only one will have your installation instructions if you ordered them at the same time on the same order. although when i thought they had no instructions because i hadn't opened all the boxes, looking at the mounting hardware (wood screws with sheetrock anchors) and then the bracket - you really don't need any for mounting instructions if you've installed window treatments before. All in all - i was worried about custom blinds and if the measurements translated right - and i was pleased. they fit exactly as i had hoped. These are not cheap blinds, but they are more cost effective than their counterparts at the home improvement stores, which in my research could end up being 1/3-2/3 more expensive than these. giving these a 4 out of five for NOW. reasons being that the mounting brackets aren't as universal as they could be(could have additional mounting holes for different jamb depths) and the fact that i cannot comment on battery life yet.
