i had a handyman come and install it for me. The shade is beautiful and did what i needed. we have a huge tub right in front of the window and it was a hazzard to reach it. The motorized shade gave us a chance to open and close it with no trouble. The manual that comes with it and the video on the website helped understand how to install it. My only complain is about the solar panel cord - it's too short (it should be at least 5 inches longer).
We bought the extension cord sold on the website but it ends up that it is to charge the motor from an outlet and not to extend the solar panel cord. We chose the type mounted on the outside of the window . This extension cord should have a female end similar to the iphone 17 on both sides.
The window is working as expected , it goes up and down and the remote works perfectly.
The remote blinds are beautiful! Easy installation and smooth rollers! We were very skeptical ordering them online but paid a fraction of the price quoted from local retailers! Wish they came in a with of 105 for our patio door! We will be ordering for our bedroom soon!
I ordered these for our sliding glass door and I'm very impressed!
These are my first vertical panel blinds, they're so much more pleasant than the old 90's style plastic variety. They're surprisingly intuitive for anyone who hasn't used these types of shades before.
Easy 1-person install, but better with two. It helped to use a level for the brackets since my shades were 98" long.
The only thing I'd change are the included drywall anchors. I swapped them out for a different style.
