★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5 out of 5 stars.· 8 years agoLook cooler than I expected
I'd give five stars all around but I've got a crinkly headrail. I'm sure I can correct it with heat, I just haven't yet. Overall it looks more modern than I expected and I am very happy with the look. I'd buy this shade again. Installation is seriously lacking in video support for this particular kind of shade. Get on that, Levolor. .

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5 out of 5 stars.· 3 years agoSo far so good
We installed 1 out of 2 shades so far, and can’t wait to get both installed, easy to installed gorgeous! My son now has the nicest shades in the house. I wish I had ordered for myself . (That may be happening next). The remote seems to be challenging to set up, but my husband said he will work on it, since so far we haven’t figured out. Would highly recommend because the ordering process was easy and they are high quality

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5 out of 5 stars.· 6 years agoAMAZING
I bought these for my bay window in the living room. They looked cool in the store and are way cooler in my living room. Super Easy to install. I got different Levolor shades for the dining room. Those are heading to the bedroom and I’m getting these for the dining room also.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5 out of 5 stars.· 6 years agoAmazing shades, very innovative amazing
We had string operated blinds before in my sons room, they were a nightmare. We always had problems with them. We put a set of the chocolate colored shades in his room because it is always so bright in that room. Making it impossible to sleep in on the weekends. Now he can sleep all day if he wanted, the Banded Shades look amazing, but the simplicity of the design makes them easy to operate, and look amazing.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 5 out of 5 stars.· 6 years agoLove them!
We absolutely love the banded, motorized shades. Easy to install too. Only issue is the wing nuts visible on top for an outside mount. We were able to get some short replacement bolts and nuts, so we can barely see them now.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 2 out of 5 stars.· 5 years agoVery disappointed in retract mechanism
Only several months after purchasing the room darkening, retractable blinds, the retract mechanism seemed to wear out. You must push the blind up slowly and stop several times to get the shade to fully retract. Darkens the room very well. Not worth the price involved for the results. This has happened on all 6 sets of shades so it is not an isolated issue.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 4 out of 5 stars.· 3 years agoLooks nice
My son loves these in his room. They came with a remote to move them up and down. They are fairly quiet. My husband put them up and said it wasnt the easiest but he had them up pretty quickly anyway.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 3 out of 5 stars.· 3 years agoNeed to measure a bit smaller
I had to take the covers off the sides of my blinds because they didn’t fit. You need to maybe measure 1/4 inch smaller. However they work great and look awesome

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 3 out of 5 stars.· 2 years agoMy windows were too big for the shades
I’m sure this would have been a great product based on other reviews. However, I could not review it due to my windows being too big for the size that was left. Seems expensive otherwise. Would not have purchased if I was not going to review it.

I really love the motorized blinds by Levolor. They are very well made, the quality is good, and the color is really nice. I love the remote control for the blinds.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 3 out of 5 stars.· 3 years agoOne came little shorter than the other
One works great and came perfect but the other one is 2 inches shorter than the order. I would really appreciate if I know the reason or get the replacement.
