Motorized Blinds with Remote, Light Filtering Smart Window Blinds

I may have written one or two reviews in my life, usually for bad products. I have honestly never found a product that I was so pleased with I felt that I should write a review. We searched for blinds for our new house for months, all the box stores, the custom window treatment stores, etc. No matter how you slice it, even with the best sales of the year you will pay $400 per window for basic motorization at these places, more if its smart. We found Yoolax and bought all the samples, finally settling on different selections for every room because there were so many great color selections. I screwed up my order and decided to downgrade to the RF only hub (I bought a Bond bridge for my fans already, and this saves $40 per blind). The seller responded immediately, downgraded the motor to the RF motor that I wanted, and even threw in an extra remote just to be nice. Delivery took 7 days to the eastern US during the holiday season, so even with the customization, they are doing well with shipping. Installation was extremely simple, note that the instructions to leave something to be desired, and for my inside window installation it was much better to mount the brackets to the vertical sides of the window opening rather than the top. This allows the shade to sit much closer to the top of the window, and must be the intended location by the manufacturer because my blinds opened EXACTLY to the bottom of the window opening, I didnt have to do any fine tuning at all. With the RF motor, the bond hub picked the remote up immediately, imported all the controls, and I was controlling my shades with my Alexa, phone, remote and a wall switch all within minutes. I was worried about the RF motor being an older or less reliable version, but it is much quieter than expected and seems to have no integration issues with my smart systems. Only things I wish they did differently 1) The remotes are actually really nice looking, and magnetically drop into their mount which is nice, however, the remote cannot seem to control all the blinds at once like my smart system does. That would be a nice feature. 2) This may be fixed on the newer system and isnt that big of a deal since they do include a power cord. I would prefer it to be upgraded to USB-C from micro-USB as I am doing my best to get rid of all the older Micro USB throughout my house and just have one type of charging cord. Just a minor annoyance that Micro-USB is still around. Overall, I would strongly recommend these blinds. For the price of a dumb blind from a box store you are getting a high quality smart blind.

So far so good. Install and setup were relatively easy. Saved me a lot of money. Customer support is top notch. Alexa upgrade resulted in disconnected of the blind and Suoport immediately teach me how to reconnect.

I just installed the Yoolax Motorized Blackout Roller Shade, and it's an absolute game-changer for my home. The upgraded double-sided blackout fabric blocks nearly all sunlight—perfect for midday naps or movie afternoons. Amazon Yoolax Setting it up was a breeze: cordless design, remote control, and seamless integration with Alexa, Google Home, and HomeKit means I can schedule it to close automatically or adjust it with just my voice. Yoolax +1 The option to control up to 16 shades simultaneously is a game changer for managing light throughout the house. Yoolax +1 The battery lasts 4–6 months on a single charge, and it even supports solar or USB charging for added flexibility. Yoolax +1 The cordless look keeps everything clean and safe—especially around kids and pets. Yoolax +1 Would highly recommend for anyone wanting smart, stylish, and efficient light control with minimal effort. Love how it just makes life simpler (and darker when I need it!).

A+ experience. Quality is high. Product is as described. Correspondence / help emails were all responded to within 24 hours. The products work just as described. I bought seven shades (six of which were each over 6 feet long), the linen beige 50% blackout ones. All work great with the recommended Alexa model. I think it was worth it to pay for the matching fabric wrapped valance and bottom rods. They look really great. The shades mount fairly easily. It did require some patience (for me, at least) to learn how to program them with Alexa and with each other (renaming them, etc.). They come pre-programmed from the factory, and auto assigned a number to the Lightwheel remote (first order is #1, second #2, etc) but I didn't order them all at once and didn't order them in the sequence I wanted them installed, so I had to reprogram them. In other words, my set up is seven shades across a wall. I wanted them to be numbers 1-7, left to right. But I ordered the middle one first to test the shade out and it comes pre-programmed as #1. So then when I ordered the rest, my left to right set up would have been 2, 3, 4, 1, 5, 6, 7 and I wanted them sequential 1-7. But if you're comfortable with simple tech, it doesn't take long. Their customer service provided instructions upon request and I was able to reprogram them to my specification. This was a little nit picky on my part. Another buyer probably won't have this issue. They even facilitated a very easy return of a component that I ended up not needing. I don't normally leave reviews, but this experience certainly deserves it. I would buy these again. A friend told me that similar shades from a local company would cost five times what I paid for these. Really an excellent product and company! If you're not sure, try ordering one first and see if you like it (that's what I did). Also, I ordered my first through Amazon. But I found it easier to go directly through their website for the next six shades.

I'm providing an update to my original review and adding a star because I discovered one of my issues was my own error and service was great but I actually have a new criticism. Customer service contacted me after posting this review, which implies Yoolax cares. The service I received was great. They sent me a new blind but honestly, it did not fix the issue (1) that the shade is still actually not centered within the valence. However its a pretty small difference (~1") so its not going to stop me from ordering matching shades in my family room since I'm already committed to Yoolax as i have the remote and blind in the kitchen, also, the service was great and price is fair. Initially I reported a crooked valence (2), however this was my fault. When i mounted it, it was not even, i fixed it and it is no longer crooked. The curtain also doesn't hang out the left side anymore, its even but partly this is because I had to reprogram the motor, more on that below My new criticism is that the instructions for reprogramming the motor are very very difficult to follow. they are on YouTube. Look in the comments section, some helpful folks have posted auxiliary instructions. I had to reprogram my motor because when i got the replacement blind, it was not working properly - I cannot explain exactly why this happened but it was really difficult to move the motor to the new blind despite the instructions provided so it may have had something to do with that process. When i reprogrammed though i had the opportunity to customize how far the blind goes down and up. I programmed it so it pulls the rod all the way up and very clear out of sight. Perfect! but it took a lot of time and patience. Overall, i'm happy, thanks Yoolax ---ORIGINAL REVIEW--- Ok experience. We’ve had this shade for about a month now, love the automatic mechanical feature but I have a few complaints with the product. 1. The shade is not centered within the valence! So you have to choose whether to center the shade or the valence, really shocking design flaw in my opinion 2. Our valence is almost perfectly level, but you would think it’s crooked because as you may be able to tell in the photo, the curtain actually hangs out from the valence on the left side but not the right. Small issue but not great! 3. We got 50% opacity but I thought it would be more transparent, I wish they sold a lower % opacity Overall, I’d probably try a different blind next time but this works fine for now. You might be disappointed but it’s affordable

I love it but I should have ordered maybe an inch longer that was my bad but awesome blind. And installation was so easy. Make sure you give yourself enough size in case you decide you don’t want it in the window frame but above. Again that was my mistake.

I’m really impressed with these motorized shades! The quality is excellent—they feel sturdy and well-made. What really stood out to me was the amazing selection of colors and textures. It made it easy to find something that matched my space perfectly. The motor works smoothly and quietly, and the remote is super convenient. I love that you request swatches to see exactly what you will be getting as well. They also have a remarkably quick turnaround time from order to delivery. Highly recommend if you’re looking for stylish and functional window coverings! I will absolutely refer these to my Design Clients. One note: the gap between the window sill and the shade will be bigger on one side to account for the motor. It doesn’t bother most but it should be noted to be sure that if you have an upper and lower window to put the motor on the same side so the gap match.

Wonderful great quality...works great on Zigbee. I have a homeseer controller with a zigbee plug in see info it provides below. Also very easy to install looks great and can't wait to get some more of these! Notice the info like battery level, shade position + more. Wow I feel like I've jumped to the future. Can't wait to set up a script and get like 10 of these to open at the same time.
