Yoolax Motorized Zebra Blinds with Remote, Room Darkening Smart Blinds

I purchased 6 of these blinds for a new sunroom I had built. The windows are very large. All of windows were 64X96, or larger. As you can imagine, the blinds were expensive because of how big they are. I was worried about making this purchase, especially if I spent this much money and they didn’t work out. It took me a few weeks to make the decision to go for it. I measured my windows, placed the order, and got my blinds within 3 weeks. I had a handyman to install. He reviewed the video, and had them all installed within 45 mins. The programming was my responsibility. Before programming, I realized the remotes do not come with batteries. The the batteries are not normal batteries that I could find at any local store. The battery, 3V(CR2430). I had to go to a specialty store, (Batteries Plus). If you are reading my post before your blinds arrive, you can order online before your blinds arrive. Once I got the battery, I put them in the remote. (Word of caution about the remotes. When you open the remote be careful. The zigbee remote is a small black, sleek looking remote. Very cute, but hard to open the first time to get to the battery. The problem, the plastic seals the front and back together where they snap together. I literally had to go around the the seal with an x-acto blade where the to parts came together. Not a hard task, easy fix. Once I got into my first remote I snapped it open and everything fell out because I had it upside down. I literally had to reconstruct the remote. Not hard, very visibly easy to figure out where every thing fit into the remote. After which, I put my battery in, and snapped it back together). Programming the remote was not necessary. Once the battery was in, I realized the blinds were already programmed. Each blind on one of the fifteen channels in the remote. I purchased two. remotes. Blinds looked awesome, except one blind. Unfortunately I measured the door length incorrectly. I was going to live with it by lowering the blind. I really didn’t want to. So I took a chance to reach out to Yoolax about a replacement (their policy is no returns, due to the custom sizing). I expected them to tell me that there would be nothing they could do. To my surprise, they immediately responded, and stated the would send me a replacement shade the length that I needed, also they provided me a video of how to change out the shade on the rod. I received the replacement in two weeks. If you are on the fence about making a decision to purchase these blinds, I hope I helped you to go for it. These blinds are worth every penny I spent on them. The company that installed my sunroom, will be offering this suggestion to their future customers. FYI, I’m a real person, and I’m not paid by anyone. I normally never write reviews, but this product and the customer service I received, I had to share my experience. I’m a very happy customer.

These Zebra blinds are great. Great quality with a sleek, clean, and modern look. The company is quick and responsive. They verified our custom measurements before filling the order and delivery was quick. We got ours before the estimated delivery date. Install was simple though because ours is so long it did take both of us to put it up. Works great with Alexa though the only glitch is the motor is reverse when using Alexa verbal commands to operate the blinds (open: closes the blinds and close: opens the blinds). We found temporary fixes to this but we just know to use the commands backwards. We do plan on ordering more.

Ok, so let me start that from the moment I ordered it, I got a confirmation and email request to approve the design (measurements I submitted along with the color, etc...). Communication is 5 of 5 stars. before I purchased this, I went to different show rooms around town and looked for the same exact specs - Zebra, motorized, rechargeable, solar panels, custom sizes, Alexa enabled, etc.. This was 1/5th (20%) of quotes I got. That's right - what a value! And let me say, the quality is 5 of 5. Everything about it is elegant - and works! It was very easy to install as well once you do one, the rest goes faster. Everything worked right out of the box. Even the remote was already pre-programmed so I started enjoying it immediately!!! I also love that each until was clearly labeled with the names I gave it so I knew which one went to which window. I already showed it to a couple of friends and they will both be ordering. I ordered an Amazon Echo last night as my echo pucks are suppose to not be compatible. I'm very excited to Alexa enable these tonight! Thank you so much Yoolax for amazing products, great customer service and communication. You guys rock! Update: Got my echo 4th gen tonight. Pairing was easy. Just follow instructions - 2 different methods and both works just as good to pair and get discovered by Alexa. Then, you really have to create routines! It's the best way to say friendly commands that do everything you want it to do and on multiple blinds all at once. Loving it!!! I now have 3 freinds who wants to order it after seeing mine at work!!!

(The background noise is my kid scavenging through the pantry. The shades are very quiet!) We've been enjoying these blinds for over 6 months, and they've proven to be a fantastic addition to my home. Here's a breakdown of my experience: **Pros:** 1. **Stylish Design:** Beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, enhancing both interior and exterior looks. 2. **Cost-Effective:** Remarkably more affordable than alternatives from Home Depot/Lowes. We paid about $2k in comparison to HDs $5k quote. 3. **Effective Sunlight Control:** Shades effectively block 90% of sunlight. 4. **Long-Lasting Motor:** Impressive motor life with just one overnight charge. 5. **Easy Installation:** Straightforward installation process. 6. **Remote and Smart Home Integration:** Accessible through a remote or voice commands via Alexa/Google. 7. **Fast Delivery:** Received custom shades within a month. 8. **Custom Measurements:** Tailored to fit various window sizes. 9. **Responsive Customer Service:** Helpful and responsive customer support. **Cons:** 1. **Additional Purchase Required:** Need to buy a hub or Alexa Echo with Zigbee for full functionality. 2. **Limited Options for Non-Motorized Blinds:** Lack of readily available non-motorized blinds makes it challenging to match all windows seamlessly. Overall, these blinds offer great value for money, providing an elegant solution for light control. While the need for an extra purchase and limited non-motorized options are drawbacks, the positives far outweigh the negatives. Highly recommended for a stylish and functional home upgrade.

Our new house has some very high windows that take in a ridiculous amount of sunlight from late morning to afternoon. We have lots of beautiful pics from our travels on the wall and we wanted to protect them from fading in the sunlight. Originally we bought curtains for the 2 high sidelights and that helped a great deal, as there are windows below them as well, so we killed 2 birds with one stone. However, the middle high window is directly over the fireplace so a long curtain or even a short curtain for that matter didn’t work. When I saw these smart blinds that work with Alexa I thought they might be too good to be true. But after install you will see from my video that they work better than expected. Other than the tall ladder, the install was really simple as compared to the other 50+ smart items we have in our house. For me, the best part was not needing to connect them to a 3rd party app in order to connect them to Alexa. Before hanging them we made sure they were fully charged and connected them to Alexa with 1 easy step. Simply push the little button and hold for 6 seconds as the blinds cycle in and out quickly twice. After you see the curtain shimmy the second time you simply tell Alexa to discover your devices. It took just seconds. I also went into the Alexa app, renamed them and put them into a group called The Blinds. Once I got them installed into the opening I tested them with the remote. No problem. I then tested them individually with an Alexa command. I then tested the group. The only 2 challenges were getting the first blind the snap into the brackets. Pressing directly in front of the bracket helped as did moving the unit from side to side. Eventually it popped right in. Also 1 of the 3 blinds did not work initially with the Alexa command when tested. Although it worked with the remote and was listed in the devices in the Alexa app, Alexa kept saying that function was not available on the particular blind. Since the others were working fine I simply removed the device from Alexa, climbed the ladder and held the button for 6 seconds and 2 curtain shimmies, then did the Alexa discover my devices again. This time it connected and worked perfectly upon giving the command. They look much nicer than expected and I love the zebra mode that lets filtered light in when needed. They seem great and certainly do the job. Very impressed with this product.

Good value but 0 support and following the online documentation made things worse. Clicking the support link brings up a scheduling window for non existent support services. The blinds came preprogrammed and worked out the box with my smart hub, so I never had a need to use the 2 remotes I was forced to purchase. Now that I am selling my home I wanted the remotes to function. They don't go in programming mode. Neither. And neither were ever touched. Since the online troubleshooting "guide" (their guides are poorly written and hardly cover issues) - said to resent the blinds, I did. Now theyre totally out of service. Since the remote is required to resolve this, but came defective, I'm basically stuck with bricked blinds. Support email told me I had to pay for new remotes, provide little to no diagnostics (so I have no confidence the replacement will resolve the issue) - and would have to order and wait for them to arrive from China. They were super quick to point out the firmware can be bad. If they have a known issue on the $50 dollar remotes shipping with bad firmware, they should be replacing them free of charge seeing as I spent 2k on blinds. Only buy this product if you're an advanced DIYer. Amazon should review this vendor, they're shady (pun intended)

Very happy with these shades. A few notes about my experience: Price: I think it's basically impossible to beat. The only comparable product is likely the IKEA FYRTUR roller blinds, but those are much more limited in terms of customization. Ordering: Fairly straightforward. The power and remote options can be a little confusing. Make sure your power type and remote are compatible. I chose a power type of "[P412] Remote Battery Motor" and a remote of "[P510]15-channels for (P412)," which I think is the bare minimum for everything to work. Quality: Very good. Highly recommend buying the "Yoolax Double Layer Zebra Shades Fabric Samples (10 Colors)" on Amazon beforehand. You'll get what you see. Installation: Easy once you know what you're doing, but I wish I knew a couple of things first. First, the instructions say not to break the paper seal around the shades until the very end. But I think that's wrong; as packaged, the bottom rod was actually near the top of the shade and blocked the mounting. I had to break the seal to move the bottom rod to the correct position. Customer service confirmed this was correct. Second, don't use the drywall anchors if you're drilling into wood, as you most likely are; a pilot hole and the bare screw are enough. Smart control: The Remote Battery Motor power type is primarily controlled using a remote. It is possible to control the Remote Battery Motor using a smartphone app or voice control, but it may require some technical expertise. I'm using a Sonoff RF Bridge with Tasmota and Portisch firmware in connection with Home Assistant, and it works perfectly, but it is definitely not for the average user. Setting up a Broadlink or Bond device might be easier, but I haven't tried it. The Smart Motor and [P426-US] Wifi Hardwired Motor power types might also be easier. However, the Smart Motor is out of stock and, even if it wasn't, you would need to add it to every shade and increase costs considerably if you order more than one. The Wifi Hardwired Motor requires an electrical cable, which is probably a nonstarter in terms of aesthetics. Customer service: Excellent. You can text Yoolax in China through WhatsApp, and their English is pretty good. I even did a quick video call with a Yoolax representative on WhatsApp, though I spoke Chinese. I was missing one of the mounting brackets in my order; not sure if they forgot to package it or if I misplaced it. Yoolax sent me replacements free of charge.

These blinds are amazing. I ordered twice 9’ for two windows. They were fairly easy to install . The look amazing both modern and stylish . The remote works wonderful. I couldn’t be happier. There are different settings for light blocking. Can only recommend this product. Delivery took about 3 weeks. Perfect!
