Yoolax Motorized Roller Shades 100% Blackout

These arrived sooner than expected and were exactly as described, perhaps even better. I ordered the Grayish White. This is a total blackout shade and the installation was very easy. Customer service is outstanding, and the product is of high quality. This seller/store has offered the best communication I've ever had in my life and kept me updated every step of the way without me having to ask questions. The cherry on top is the product arrived over a week earlier than expected! I am so happy I went ahead and ordered a second one for my other son's bedroom. I rarely ever say this, but please buy with confidence. You're safe with this fabulous seller!

I was nervous ordering for such a large window, but I couldn't be happier. I haven't had to charge it since it's first charging after installing it in late July 2022 (it is now January 2023). The color is great and it effectively blocks out the light.Easy to install and it was a perfect fit! If you are questioning buying or not, go ahead and buy - it's worth the money and I'd even say it's a deal for the quality. Planning on ordering for the back sliding door as well as our 8 foot tall front door that is all windows.You can change the speed of opening/closing, but I opted for the slower speed to avoid the somewhat louder sound it makes.

We needed a blind for a large (58x58) window over the bathtub. Access is awkward because of the tub making a standard blind difficult to raise and lower. Enter the Yoolax. Ordering was easy, just be very precise in your measurements. Measure the width at several levels and use the narrowest measurement. Installation was a snap. 3 brackets, six screws. One bracket 5" from each end and one in the center. We ordered the valance and the solar panel. Our solar panel is mounted horizontally at the upper right corner, hidden by the blind if it is not quite fully retracted. One note: the directions warn against mounting the solar panel inside if the light transmissivity of the window is less than 70%, and against mounting it where the eave or other obstruction blocks direct sunlight. The assembly seems to be well made so I don't expect durability to be an issue but only time will tell.

The ordering process was easy. I was even able to change things before final order as I realized my needs changed. They were quick to respond and get it just right. Product arrived when they said it would. Installation was fairly simple. If I had one critique it would be a little more words in the directions and not just pictures but EV a non-expert like me was able to figure it out. Works perfectly.

Blinds are great, easy install. But no clue how to add to an app to create schedules and automations. Own 6 Wi-Fi connected blinds and purchased multiple zigbee hubs (Yoolax recommended) to connect but incredibly frustrating process. Still have no idea how to add to an iOS app. I dont own an Alexa nor Google Home, BroadLink used RF frequency that doesnt reach far enough to trigger all blinds. So Im stuck with just the remote. I wish there was clear instructions. Could be such an awesome product.*EDIT*Yoolax Blinds are NOW HomeKit Compatible via Hubitat Elevation Home Hub! Easily was able to pair Yoolax blinds through Hubitat AND add HomeKit functionality. Blinds can be triggered via Siri and show up in Apple's 'Home' App! Updating my original post from 4 stars to 5 stars!

It is very easy to install and looks awesome

Its quiet and works great! The only thing I wasnt exactly happy with was how it sits away from the wall a bit wit the wall brackets. It is very light as well so dont worry about weight. I am trying to determine if there are brackets that keep it flush with the wall instead of having the gap. Other than that its great! It also made the house cooler upstairs. We didnt realize how much it was heating up the surrounding upstairs with the sun all day. While we ordered 100% blackout its not really 100%. But its damn near close enough.

I used the Yoolax shades to darken my living room where I have a projector and screen to watch movies. The order arrived well before the estimated time. The blinds are total blackout blinds, meaning to don't let light come through. You will get some leakage on the sides tho.

The seller recommends that you add 3 inches of with if you plan for an install outside of the window frame. I did not do that, as I planned to use tracks. As you can see in the video, my order is just wide enough to cover the window.

The "tracks" on the side that you see are simple moulding trim from Home Depot, cut to size, and on the inside I have black duct tape. I used the original moulding from my the wooden blinds in front of the new rolling shades, and it looks great.

The blinds came pre-programmed with different channels. If you use channel 0 on the remote, you'll control all your blinds (up to 15) at the same time.

Note that they don't ship the CR2450 battery needed for the remote control. I had to go up to Home Depot for that, but you can also order them here on Amazon.

These are the coolest! I only ordered 1 initially to make sure we liked them... we loved them, so I have ordered 2 more and will continue to do more windows along. Installation is super easy. They totally block the sun.
Customer service is ultra quick to respond and very helpful! I ordered my first one 1" longer because I was worried about being too short - there is no need to do that... just go with the exact measurements. I did have one problem with my window not being fully square, so as the 70" rolled down, it was sitting a bit crooked even though the top appeared level. I placed 2 nickels at the top on one side for spacers, and that fixed it. I will cram some black felt in there to fix the tiny light gap it made.
I also haven't programmed with Alexa yet, but will do so when the other 2 come and let ya know how that goes. Highly recommend so far! 5 stars for me!

Its not easy to set up like they say, i still cant get alexa to close them or open them as a group
