Yoolax Motorized Blinds with Remote, Blackout Smart Blinds Motorized Fabric Roller Shades Work with Alexa, Automatic Shades for Windows Custom Size (Dark Grey)

I have ordered two blinds for my remodeling project and tried them for about a month now. Both of them arrived in about 2 weeks which is awesome considering the current backup situation in the remodeling industry. We ordered 100% block out blinds. The quality of the fabric is good and it comes with fabric on both side. Keep in mind that the gap from left and right side of the blinds are not even. The light is still coming through unless you ordered the light blocker trim package. The installation is super easy. The instruction illustrated with side screws. But we screwed the hardware to the top of the ceiling (since our side wall material is steel) and it still works without any problem. We ordered dark shape but the color of the roller itself is white. So you will see mismatch contrast color (see picture). I wished it's black color to math the fabric tone otherwise I should have ordered the valance to cover it. The sound motor is loud when the room is very quiet in early morning. But we don't mind at all. We are more concerned about the smooth sound of the motor and hope it won't break. So far so good! The remote comes with the pre-configuration which means the product works right away after installation. It is great. However it is not easy when trying to reconfigure the position limit. First, there is no manual/instruction. Customer service provided the video which was not matched to my remote model. We searched the youtube video and found the might-be correct video to match to our remote model. We ended up following the video instruction five times to get the configuration works and we didn't even know what went wrong in our previous tries. I wish there is a written manual instead of video so it's easy to review the setup steps and troubleshot. Regardless Yoolax customer service is super helpful. It appears they are in a different time zone. I usually got the response in the morning pacific time.Overall we are satisfied with our purchase and planed to order more for our living room in the future. I highly recommend the product.

Wish I could give it a 10. Beautiful color, easy to install for husband. Came earlier than expected. Only con, unable to set up with Alexa but we think it's user error 😁. Thi us our 3rd one.

As I write this review, I have had the shades installed for about a month. The product arrived carefully packed and in good condition. The build dimensions were spot-on, as I requested them, and fit correctly. The build quality was excellent, and the installation was effortless. It took me an hour to install two windows (one large, one small). My only hiccups were with the smartphone integration and the solar battery. On the smartphone integration, note that selecting the motor that works directly with Apple devices prevents you from having the valance covered in the same fabric (an issue with motor size), so they sent me the Zigbee motor instead (I really like having the valance wrapped in the same finish). To work with the phone using this motor, you need to add a Zigbee hub, which the manufacturer sent for a small fee after explaining. Setting that up was a bit of a pain - I am glad I have the physical remote as a backup because it sometimes does not connect.The other issue was the solar battery connector. The instructions are very sparse, so take it from me: the routing of the USB cable from the battery to the motor needs to be carefully chosen and taped to stay in place (I used Gorilla double-faced tape). If you fail to do this, the roller will eat up the USB cable and rip off the USB connector. I had to splice in a new USB cable (see pictures) to get my battery going after that happened (I am not sure the typical DIY handyperson would be ok with doing that; it required some soldering). So I docked it one star for these issues; I would have docked it two stars, but the customer support was excellent (all via messages, but responsive). I am happy with the result.

Install of the shade and solar panel total took about 15 minutes. Nice quiet operation of shade. Seems to be good quality materials. Looks great. Getting the gateway functioning was rough. The directions need much better development. For us, while we did activate the gateway and connect to Google Home, it is unlikely we will use that feature. The app seems pretty straight forward and works very well. We also really likes the remote that came with. We only have one power shade but remote also works like a charm.Highly recommend this product.

I now have nine shades from Yoolax. The quality and operation is exceptional, they fit perfectly and work as expected. Installation couldn’t have been easier, I had questions about interfacing the shades with Alexa and the support Jonas provided was prompt and professional. When combined with Alexa routines and voice control, these shades are amazing.
