  • I love the look of the shades and being able to see out. I wish the actual shade was about 1/2 inch wider. Not sure if that is our fault for measuring wrong and not allowing enough width or if the instructions should have had us to add more for the outside mount

    Hi Jo! Thank you for choosing Blindster and sharing your feedback! We're so glad to hear that you love the look of your new shades and enjoy being able to see outside. We'd be happy to take a closer look at the widths you received to determine whether the shades may be narrower due to a manufacturing issue. If you'd like to adjust your measurements, and you're still within 60 days of receiving your order, we'd also be happy to assist with remakes through our Fit-or-Free Guarantee. We appreciate your feedback and would love the opportunity to make sure you're completely happy with your purchase!

  • It was easy to order and the blinds seem to be a quality as expected since they weren't real high dollar. I did not pay extra to get valances so it's not a very nice finished look when you can see the brackets but my husband designed and 3D printed a triangular trim piece to cover the corners so you can no longer see the brackets. I also did the reverse roll so it doesn't just look like a tube hanging there so I think they ended up looking nice. The 10% openness is perfect for our needs since you can still see through it just fine yet it still cuts the glare of the bright sun.

    Thank you for sharing your experience, Valarie! We’re so happy to hear you found the blinds easy to order and that you’re pleased with their quality and performance. It sounds like you and your husband came up with a great solution for the brackets, and we’re glad the reverse roll helped give the shades a more finished appearance. We’re especially glad the 10% openness provides the perfect balance of visibility and glare reduction for your space. We truly appreciate your business!

  • Not as good as prior product

    I am disappointed in the current product. I purchased and entire home of shades in 2021, moved and again purchased and entire home of shades. The current version batteries do not last as long, the remotes are limited to 6 shades each, shad programing is haphazard and shades do not have the remote control distance of the old shades.

  • The blinds are well manufactured. The cassettes provide a very clean and stylish look. I love the ease of operation (the motors are not at all annoyingly loud). Since these are number 3 and 4 of my orders, the installation and programming went much faster for me now. The ONLY reason I am not giving 5 stars: I need one 112 inches wide to match the 4 that I have now installed....and blindester does not provide any motorize at that side: Come on guys....technology should be getting better....make wider shades!!!!

    Response from Blindster

    Hi Richard, thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for placing multiple orders with us. We're delighted to hear that you're enjoying the quality, appearance, and ease of operation of your motorized shades. Hearing that the motors run quietly and that the cassettes provide the look you were hoping for is wonderful feedback. We also appreciate your honest comments about the maximum width limitations. While product size limitations are often determined by factors such as fabric weight, headrail specifications, and motor performance, we certainly understand your desire for a wider option to match your existing shades. Feedback like yours helps us identify products customers would like to see in the future. Thank you again for your continued trust in Blindster. We truly appreciate your support and suggestions.

  • Nice

    I purchased 2 solar shades. They arrived in good order and installation was easy. Sizing was perfect. The raise/lower feature on the larger one does not operate smoothly, but it works. Overall, I am very satisfied and will probably purchase additional to match.

    Easy to install and they look nice. Not sure how much difference solar shades make vs regular shades though.

  • These filter out light but have no privacy at all, even with the ebony that I ordered.

    These blinds look good and they are a great price, but they are only light filtering and nothing else even in the ebony color. The only issue I had with this company is how long it took to make the shades and then how long it took to ship them.

    Thank you for your review, Debbie! We're glad to hear that you find our Deluxe Light Filtering Solar Shades both stylish and affordable. Due to the opacity of solar shades, a second window treatment may be needed for additional privacy. If there's anything we can assist you with please let us know!
