Lasted 3 years.ChrisPurchased on July 25th, 2022 and the left sides internal cord just snapped making the shades completely useless. They weren't easy to set up so I'm debating replacing with something else.1
Do not buyJonathanI spent over $1,000 updating several of the windows in my home with these. They all have problems. They don’t always go up or down when you tell them to, the batteries don’t last long at all so you’re constantly standing on furniture to charge and reinstall the batteries, one has broken entirely due to the internal string breaking, another just died today from unknown issues, even with a fully charged battery. These are overpriced and a headache. I’ve bought much cheaper solutions online that come with an in-window solar panel, work much more quietly, and haven’t needed recharging since I bought them months ago. 1
AmazingSeanThese blinds are amazing especially when paired with the hub so you can automate them to open and close automatically. A smart home must. 5
Does not work. DanThe blinds and the remote that comes with them both go “offline” every day. When that happens the only way to open or close them is to climb up and press the button on the blinds, which is far less convenient than old fashioned blinds. They’re completely useless. 1
Wonderful Smart BlindsJessicaWe have these smart blinds in our house for about 1 year now in use. We have had to switch out the batteries in one set so far (as in put a charged battery in for an empty one not buy a new battery as replacement.) We don't really use our buttons much, but just have everything automated in the rooms for our house as we find that much easier using home assistant. Unfortunately, I don't think I could go back to not having smart blinds. They block a great amount of light, we have interior and exterior mounted them depending on the room. I wish they came in more sizes as we did have to cut down one set which we know voids the warranty, but they are amazing. I love how quiet they are, and I love that there are no cords. We did have one set that arrived broken, but ikea shipped out a new set, and we returned that one via mail with no issues. Please don't discontinue these!!!5
Love these blindsJenniferI love these blinds. Another review said they weren't true to size but mine were the exact size. They were very easy to set up and install and look great. The only thing I wish is Ikea made them in a longer size so I could install them downstairs as well.5
Terrible QualityAndrewI purchased four of the 34" blinds about a year and a half ago. One of the blinds had its internal string snap. The string that actually rolls the blinds up and down is flimsy and I think it's a matter of time before the other blinds break. I'm now stuck in the IKEA home system and I'm now on my third replacement because the down button breaks on just a couple of pushes. I wish I had just spent more on a quality brand. Do NOT expect these to last and the quality control is getting even worse.2
Great blindsBryceWe love these. Slowly swapping all of the blinds through the whole house with these. I wish IKEA came out with these years ago when we did the roller blinds. Set up is so simple. I have them installed and added in to my smart home stuff within 10 minutes. 5
Larger than advertised, did not fitAnonymous reviewerI got the 34 inch size but it's actually more than 34 inches wide and didn't fit my window so I had to return it.1
Easy to setup and workRobertThey are too short for Patio Door coverage. 4
Exactly what I neededLorraineExactly what I needed for my bedroom windows. We were finally able to snag some when they restocked and I'm so glad.5
Great blind easy to configureLeroyLove these blinds. Very easy to install and configure. Would buy again.5
Stopped working just shy of 2 yearsKevinI've got 3 of them, and they worked great until just shy of 2 years of using them no more than 2 a day. One of them became unbalanced and no amount of resetting per the manual would fix it. According to reddit seems like there's a fatal flaw in the design that always leads to this outcome. 2
Help WantedGillianThis best seller worked great for about 6 weeks, then the up/down clicker stopped pairing and is not available for replacement on line. Have been using a broom stick to get to the button 8’ up. Was going to stop into our local store today to see if they have any replacement clicker, but last night the shade stopped going down all the way. So, now I have a black-out shade that I need a broom stick to operate and it only goes a 1/3 of the way down. Ikea, please help me solve this!1
Wonderful Smart BlindsJessicaWe have installed about 8 of these in our house, and we have 2 more to go. We have been using them for about 3 months now and love them. They are quieter than expected, very easy to connect to, and the battery life is very very good. We haven't had to switch one out yet. Will definitely buy again, but it is a gate way drug because now we want them on every window. I do wish there were a few more size option though.5
Good as an additional blindKiraIt’s been a few weeks and the blinds are still working well. Despite the photos of the product in the description showing it installed inside the window casing, it seems that it can only be installed outside the window casing. We installed them over our existing non-blackout blinds, which works great. But I don’t think these would work as your only blind since they have to be installed over the window which leads to a few inch gap. I asked customer service if it could be installed inside the window casing and they just said I needed to follow the instructions, which only show it outside 4
Tredansen BlindMargaretWorks effectively.5
Blocks light and remote power works wellDerekThe remote controllers shades work really well with a strong quiet motor powered by a rechargeable battery which lasts a long time between charges 5
Best Blinds!DeniseI'm so glad I found these window blinds with remote operating. I have very large windows above a stairway and these were perfect. Easy to install, easy to operate. They work well keeping the setting sun from heating up the living room. Highly recommend!!5
Way beyond my expectations.JackI was skeptical for two reasons the low price and battery claims. Installation was ridiculously simple. I also purchased the hub that allows for integration with Apple HomeKit, which is flawless. I put the five blinds in our master bedroom overlooking the lake. They are programmed to close at sundown and open at sunrise. After two months of usage, I still have 90% battery left.5
