so I measured the bedroom like four times because nothing in this house is square and then I sat on the order for a week thinking the hardware would feel cheap at this price and it doesnt the brackets are solid and Sam just answered me on chat without the runaround and now the room stays dark and I raise them from the bed and I still cannot believe the in home guy wanted twice this
I sat on the order for a couple weeks because I was sure measuring would go wrong on our old bedroom windows. Used the guide, measured width three times, and they still emailed to confirm before anything was made. First window took me a while only because I kept stepping back to look at it. The next one was about 15 minutes. Room stays dark past sunrise and the west glass is less hot in the afternoon. Alexa drops them at night. I charged the pack when they arrived and have not thought about it since.
I collected three numbers before I ordered. One in-home visit came back around $3800 installed for the same bedroom openings. Another site was close to that once they added motorization. These were a fraction of it and I hung them in an evening. Sam stayed on chat while I second-guessed the inside mount on old plaster. First window was the slow one. After that it was about 15 minutes. Room is dark in the morning and I do not think about the remote anymore.
Hardware is better than the price suggested. That is the main thing. Sister did in-home for twice the cost and the feel is close. Only nit is the insert in the box. Used the video.
For this price I expected cheap brackets. They are not. Hardware feels solid and the rail does not flex when it moves. Sister paid about twice as much for hers and I held hers last month. Ours feel just as nice, maybe nicer on the clutch
We had a salesperson in the house and I did not love the price or the four to six week wait. Needed the room darkened sooner than that. Jordan walked me through inside mount on chat like a normal person. Box showed up faster than the local timeline. Honeycomb makes a real difference on heat. Street light is gone. If something fails I will say so. So far they just work.
Kids wrecked the cords on the old set and I was done buying the cheap version again. Cordless plus a motor was the only option that made sense in the bedroom. Matter connected on the first try which is not how my weekends usually go. I set limits, grouped the pair, and now I do not open the app. Quiet enough that I notice the light changing before I hear anything.
Money was the push. Ease of use is why I have not complained since. Chat, hang, remote, done. Bedroom stays dark. I keep the in-home quote on my phone so I can look at it when I want to feel smart.
Price is why we did this. Local installer wanted more than I spend on a weekend trip. These cost a lot less and they do the job. One nit is the paper insert. I used the video and Jacob talked me through pairing when I got lost. Dark enough. Keeping them.
Most of this went fine. Fit is close on a window that is not square and I nudged one bracket. Blackout is actually blackout which is why I bought them. The paper sheet in the box is thin so I used the video for pairing. Took an extra few minutes and then the remote behaved. Keeping them. Would have been a cleaner five if the insert matched the motor that shipped
Ease of use is the part I keep telling people. Remote on the frame, Alexa at night, no cords for the kids to yank. I was ready to pay the in-home price just to be done and then I saw the quote and sat down. Andrew sent a short note on how to measure a window that is not square. Fit was close. Money saved went to the guest room set
