DENFOON Motorized Blinds with Remote,Automatic Blackout Shades for Windows

I bought these on two occasions. 2 then 4 more because price was right. They actually impressed me in quality and ease of installation. Although they say the one channel remote can only operate one blind there is a work around for one remote to do multiple blinds.

These work where other solar blinds died. We put these in a high window of a bonus room since we couldn’t reach it to adjust regular blinds. They have been flawless so far, the only issue we have had was a button on the remote that would only work some time, but that has now worked itself out! Highly recommend.

A lot of the reviews seem AI generated, but I actually bought this thing and thought I’d share my experience . I chose these because it’s the cheapest smart blinds you can get. The old saying you get what you pay for comes to mind. As non smart blinds, this thing is pretty slick. Easy enough install, sturdy construction, arrived as advertised with all the hardware you need, even drywall anchors (bonus points for that). You can adjust the maximum high and minimal height the blinds extend to. They block out all light coming from my window. The RF remote feels cheap but works just fine. Instructions were clear enough, but could stand to be reviewed by a non-tech-savvy native English speaker. The solar panel is awesome and so far as heald up great, but the connector on it is rather thick, you should take this plugs thickness in mind when mounting the blinds as it needs about a 1/2inch of clearance. I ordered the 35” set, but ended up having to grind down about 1mm of plastic on both sides because it turns out my window was just slightly shorter than 35” and I really wanted that inner fitment. Ez enough with a rotary sander. My fault for not measuring the window to the 1/16 of an inch. My biggest issue with these is they claim to be smart. It’s not super clear from their posting, but in order to make them “smart” you need to buy their $35 adapter connects to your phone (Tuya app) then sends 443MHz RF to the blinds to mimic the remote. I did not want to buy that and used my existing BroadLink RM4 Pro I have for controlling IR/RF devices with HomeAssistant. I was able to learn the codes from the remote pretty easily and tie it into some basic automations. (So the blinds open when my wake up alarm goes off, it’s the best feeling ever!) . I keep saying “smart” because in my mind these are not truly smart. They have no state. I cannot check if the blinds are open or if they blinds are closed or what % open they are, I can only send “open” , “close”, and “stop” commands via RF. It still works for basic automations such as: “Close the blinds at sunset”, “Open the blinds when my alarm goes off”. If these things are possible with their little adapter I’ll buy it and update my review, but it doesn’t seems like it could be possible. In my mind these are dumb blinds that have a remote, and you can mimic the remote with HomeAssistant or a FlipperZero. If you don’t want to tie them into complex home automations and can live without state then these are the best remote controlled blinds you can buy for the price. Knowing what I know now and my goals of home automation via HomeAssistant, I probably would have spent the $150 for a set of ikeas zigbee blinds. I may still try to tear these apart and control them with an ESP32, or add some Halifax sensors to the top and bottom to be able to tell if they are open or closed. But for now I am happy with what I have

This was one of the most frustrating experiences in the history of blinds installation. First of all, the drilling inside mount instructions are so poorly explained that it makes you think that the clips are supposed to snap into the brackets. But in fact, the clips are only there to hold the valance in place, which is a decorative feature. Navigating through that was a nightmare. However, the worst part of this entire ordeal is the fact that once installed, the blinds don’t actually provide corner to corner blackout. As you can see from my photos, I ordered the correct size because there is no more room to install wider blinds. This is the maximum width permissible by my window. And mind you, we built this house, just a couple of years ago, so these are brand new windows. As it turns out, the shade itself is not corner to corner, so you are going to get a frame of light piercing through. I have posted another picture where the right hand side are these blinds and the left-hand side are my old regular blinds. As you can see, the new blinds are worse off and do not provide the light blocking capability that was promised as much as it pains me to have to uninstall this set of blinds and package it for return, considering the time and effort I’ve already put into this, I absolutely must return these as they are only one star worthy. All of this frustration would’ve been worth it if it actually did the job of blocking light. So back to Amazon they go.

Very happy with these blinds. Work really well. Come with solar panels. Have them installed and most don't have direct sunlight but have had no problem with them charging the batteries. Have had some of these blinds for almost a year and have never had to charge them. Just work every day. Did get a 15 channel remote for these blinds. Also very easy to program

I have been using these for almost two years and I do like them but I have had issues. After installation of 15-20 of these in my home I have had 3 quit working right at a year. All three quit working with in a couple months of each other. I have had couple that just randomly bunch/bind up while they are extending and or retracting. Then fighting to get them straightend back out so they can be extended or retreated. I know that these are about as cheap as you can find Solar powered blinds, but I wish they had better warranty or at least customer support. I just replaced the of them that had stopped working. I am hoping to get long term use out of them. I do like the remote sold separately that works up to 15 blinds at a time. It makes it convenient for opening a group of them. I would give a higher star rate if I had not been having the issues that I stated above.

I’ve had these up for a while now and they work perfectly!!! I only bought the one to try out but I am definitely going to get more.

The remote control works smoothly and makes it really convenient to open or close the blinds without getting up. The motor is quiet and the blackout fabric does an excellent job blocking sunlight and giving the room more privacy. Installation was straightforward and the overall quality feels solid and well made.
