Motorized BlindArnieWaste of time & money. First one was missing a part and the second one wouldn’t pair.1
Good product, can be betterRAVNEETPretty good product at a decent price point. Bluish/ grayish white color, not pure white, I guess the black insulation inside the cells may causing this dull hue. Usually Ikea products are very well thought and designed, but these blinds have room for improvement. The hanging brackets for these blinds leave about a centimeter of gap at the top of window frame letting light through, besides looking bit unfinished and brackets jetting out of the top, our old Levolor blinds were invisible and top of blinds were flush with the top of window frame. Also, the brackets are way longer than the thickness of the blinds, which leaves a gap of an inch or more behind the blinds, would be better if the blinds are closer to the window by half an inch more, and brackets invisible. We did cut the metal brackets a bit to make the blinds hang closer to window, but you can cut upto a certain depth as the hanging mechanism needs some space behind to twist and then fit in the brackets. Other than that, these are good, light blocking is perfect, open close buttons on blinds, as well as remotes work fine so far. The automation hub is out of stock these days, so can’t comment on voice control yet. Cell size is bit bigger than average size of cells of other brands but not a big deal for us. Would have given 5 stars, if brackets were better designed.4
blindsBradEasy to install, works as described.5
Broke in 5 months, setup and app are sketchy. Block sun well, hold charge wellCameron D.I purchased 4 shades, the setup was less than intuitive and took me a few hours to complete. Even once setup was complete, shades would fall out of their assigned groups in the app. Then one broke, and Ikea doesn't stand by their products beyond 5 months so I'm out of luck, no exchange even if I was a packrat from the 90s who kept the receipts to things they buy.
Other than that, the shades function as expected, block out almost all sun, and hold a charge for a long time. Now I feel trapped in this ecosystem since I have 3 other shades and a bridge : /2
Quality and AffordableSamuelI have always wanted smart blinds but brands such as Lutron are just too expensive which is why I decided to try iKea first. I initially purchased the Fyrtur blinds and they worked great but the Tredansen is a much better fit edge to edge so I exchanged my Fyrtur blinds. I also wanted a smart blind that easily interfaces with Siri and Alexa since I use both in my home and they work flawlessly. In the end it was around $3500 for all the windows in my home but well worth it. Now before I leave for work I simple say “Hey Siri, Close all the blinds” I also have them set to open automatically 15 min after sunrise. You will not be disappointed with this purchase!5
Amazing smart blinds!EstherThese were exactly what we were looking for! I have been amazed at the light blocking, but even more amazed as the room is significantly cooler with these blinds.5
Excellent! Couldn’t get different remotesANDREExcellent! Couldn’t get different remotes to control different shades within the same room (easy to pair one control for all). Otherwise outstanding.5
CR2032 & ScrewsMICHAELLooks, quality, and performance are exactly what I expected from these cellular blinds. Blackout performance is perfect. There will a little light bleed around the perimeter of the blind (not through the shade as it is blackout material) when inside mounted to the window frame. Just remember for the install, the remote control requires a 3v button cell battery (not included) and appropriate screws.
If you’re new to the IKEA Home Smart ecosystem, be aware that the TRÅDFRI gateway has been out of stock for months because of supply availability so you’ll be able to control these with the included remote, but will have to wait for the gateway’s availability or the release of IKEA’s new DIRIGERA hub (possibly Q4 2022) for smart integration.5
Get them!MarvinThese blinds look great, are black out and work great. Added a better look to our house inside and out, and if course the control is amazing.5
Very dark!AltonI was unsure about the level of black out these would provide.
They are fantastic. Block a huge amount of light.
I also have the other version of Ikea motorized blind but I prefer these as they coverage goes nearly to the edge.5
