"Pros: For reference my shade is approx. 74” wide, In blackout with the weighted (grey) bottom. I also splurged on a solar charging option as this window gets the maximum amount of sunlight. I also got the 15 channel remote. The shade is of great quality. You can immediately tell after removing from the packaging. The size and accuracy of measurements are perfect. Especially when you follow the instructions they give you prior to purchasing. Heat and light blockage are superb, note I choose to have the shade roll mounted outside the window versus inside. Also, I had the roll come down on the backside versus the front for maximum light blocking.
Cons: The brackets that attach to the valance are not super strong individually. Due to my shade being so large. I misjudged it being secure on one end and it came down partially, completely bending one bracket. They do however give multiple brackets and you only need two for one of this size. I would highly recommend a second persons help for larger shades.
The remote set up is a bit challenging and requires a small learning curve. I did not get Alexa or other home assist on mine so programming the remote is going to take some time. The Greywinds app is also an option, but I would not rely on it, as there are some bugs in the software that still need tuning.
This is a pricier option. However, when compared to cheaper ones that require cutting, install time, and labor I would go this route again. It’s more convenient and looks professionally installed.
Recommendations: when measuring for length of the shade do 6” or 7” longer than what you need. You can program a limit stop for both up and down when using the app or remote, so extra won’t hurt.
Shipped using DHL and they required a signature for receipt. be advised. It also takes a few weeks for them to make the shade and ship it."
