Yoolax Motorized Roller Shades Half Shading and 80% Shading Light Filtering

I'm always very hesitant to order big ticket items from online vendors without being able to see and experience the products firsthand. I imagine many of us are the same and keep these types of items in their wish lists for months or years on end, periodically coming back to view their lists and fight that internal struggle time and again. In this case, the fates intervened and I had to pull the trigger on shades immediately, so after quadruple-checking the dimensions and talking through it over and over with the wife, I decided to drop close to a grand on these motorized blinds from Yoolax that I had never before seen in person. I decided to opt in for faster delivery (which I almost never do) because we wanted the blinds asap.

It's been only a few days in, but, at this point, I can say that it was a good purchase. So much so that all of the other unrelated items in my wish list have benefitted from this rewarded faith and have moved up a few percentage points in the purchase probability category.

There was some anxiety with the installation, such as whether I could screw in the anchors straight enough to mount the blinds evenly, but that proved to be unwarranted as the blinds have a little bit of give to them and snap in relatively easily. There was also a lot of frustration when I was unable to pair the remote, especially since I'm in the computer/electronics industry and build IoT devices as a hobby. This turned out to be due to the fact that the battery I had put in was strong enough to allow the remote to turn on, but too weak to send out an actual signal. FYI - the remote doesn't come with the required CR2032 battery, so you have to get your own. When I reached out to their customer service via message, they were quick to respond and offer a WhatsApp id for me to chat with.

As for the shades themselves, they look great and operate smoothly. The 85% blackout was perfect for this corner and I don't regret spending a little more for the fabric-covered rod. Even though I would have preferred an inside-mounted version, I had to get the outside-mounted. The event I alluded to above was getting window replacements and realizing that the new windows were much thicker and wouldn't allow me to re-install the previous inside-mounted blinds. Even though it was a big purchase, I doubt I would be able to find similar pricing elsewhere, especially when it has to be custom-made for your specific window size. I'm already messaging back with Yoolax to see if they can manufacture a custom size for me that would be wider than the options offered.

In summary - if you're in need but in doubt, make the purchase.

Bought (1) as a test. Worked great. Cost was half from local blind dealer.Sellers communication was great.Purchased (33) more for entire house.

Product was exactly as expected. Easy to install with all needed parts provided. Was pre-paired with included remote and worked right out of the box. Was also packaged incredibly well, ensuring it arrived in perfect condition.

This was one of the best decisions I have made opting out of the customized and ridiculously expensive $2000 blinds and going with Amazon for less than $500 for two blinds with a remote control. I absolutely love it and I rave about to all my friends.1. Very easy to instal - I didn’t need man-power :-)2. Great quality fabric3. You cannot see through it (I went outside and checked) but it allows enough light in so the room is not pitch black4. The remote control came already programmed so all you need is press the button and close one or the other #1 or #2. And it has a little holder which I installed on my nightstand for an easy access.5. The brackets have a brilliant design that allows for a quick - few seconds long installation of the blinds.6. Quick delivery (yes from China) and it took it less time than the letter I sent from NY to Lake Placid both in NY state. Absolutely amazing :-)Cons: The only issue one can find and I didn’t see that question when I was customizing my order is the window frame depth. The part that the bracket needs to be attached too. In my case I was lucky because the bracket is 2,5in and I had 2in so I was able to instal it but 1/2 in less and I would be sending them back. So this is one thing worth looking into.Overall I am ridiculously happy with the purchase and the fact that I saved $1500 :-) I strongly recommend this product.

The product arrived on time, in good shape, and exactly as ordered. Very happy with purchase.

Bought for 5 windows , was shipped earlier than expected, very easy to install, all remote and roller shades were pre programmed, make sure you measure as per instructions, very good quality, package was in very good condition. I highly recommend buying this from Yoolax !!! Very happy with quality and service .

They are modern and definitely elevate any home! I plan on buying more for my other windows! This is the best value for your money

I was nervous to buy these online. But was very pleased with the quality and communication with the company. We easily connected a remote to raise and lower all three at once and plan to connect to Alexa. These look really great. We plan to purchase blinds for the downstairs as well.

Super easy to install. 50% blackout is perfect for my living room. Great customer service too! Will definitely order Yoolax again for other rooms.

Looks beautiful and sleek. Size is accurate. Easy to install, but took a bit of effort to set up and hook it up with Alexa. Afterwards it’s easy to operate.
