Customer Reviews for Gray Cordless Room Darkening Vinyl Mini Blinds with 1 in. Slats-48 in. W x 48 in. L (Actual Size 47.5 in. W x 48 in. L)

Good blinds but they are a little thin and if you break a panel you can't replace the single panel you have to get new blinds. But I would still recommend them

Quality was good and blinds were easy to install. The poor room darkening qualities is the only reason I did not give 7 stars.

This product was very easy to install and the low price was an added bonus, the only tool that I needed was a drill with a bit to place the 2 brackets. The nice thing is once you locate the position for the brackets they have tape stripes that all you need to do is remove the paper cover and stick. Then install the 4 screws to secure (NOTE: look at the metal brackets they are stamped with "TOP" so you install correctly). Total time to install was less than 15 minutes.

Easy installation and actually the first set I have owned that is cordless. Overall I am pleased but (here it comes), the plastic material the slats are mad of is very fragile and I would use caution not to stress the individual slats. The up and down is very smooth.

I liked the pull string type better. But can't get them no more. These went up Ok. I moved brackets in about 3 inches from end of shade. watch out for mechanisms in shade. They work well enough but do let light in. But less then room filtering ones. You need room to get into them if you want to put up all the way. That is why pull string is better. I am happy with them and will keep them don't think you can get a better one of this type.

Nice for the price as it has thicker vinyl then the lower price version. Slightly darkening as best as white can do. Easy to install but the handle was too long for my application so I had to use the original and switch out the fastening hook.

I like that it is cord free! Hope it holds up better than my last corded one!

The blinds went up in a flash. Quality shade and definitely makes the room look inviting.

They are awesome and will be so much easier to clean.

Very easy to install. Went up quickly and the cordless is the way to go for sure. They look expensive without a cord but a real bargain

Great quality and price. Easy to install. Exceeded our expectations. Very happy we chose these blinds and saved money too!

Installing the blinds was a breeze. Shortening the blinds per instructions also was very easy . I measured the width & the girl at home depot who cut them was very good at her job & very patient with me on making sure they were cut to my exact measurements.

Installed , a bit difficult, but end product lovely

Great Product

Generally speaking, it's a decent product. I've purchased about 15 of them for an Office installation. You have to open every box before you buy it and inspect for damage, because about 1 in 4 are dented, damaged, scratched, etc. Also, when they're cut to a custom length, it makes it harder to get the end caps on, because it slightly bends the ends. Overall though, economically priced, they look good, I'll buy a few more.

In the end, happy enough with the blind for the price, price being the key factor. Installing inside the window frame was a bit of a chore dealing with the brackets. As others have said, the head rail would not snap into place while trying to insert the blind into the brackets. There is not enough clearance with the top of the window frame. I took another reviewers advice and bent the front of the hinge down a bit and finally could get it snapped into place. Very frustrating part of the installation. I had to remove some bottom slats to get to the appropriate length. As others have pointed out about the buttons snapping off, the very first button I tried to remove snapped right off! So instead of messing with the other buttons, I just cut off the excess ladder pieces and it works fine, so no reason to remove the buttons at all as far as I'm concerned. It does go up and down pretty smoothly, but one other nuisance, but I can deal with is to get it sit flush with the bottom the window sill, I have to pull further down, hold one of the cords and then set up in place, otherwise the blind wants to go up further than I like. In defense of that, I could have used the little hooks that secure the blind down, but I went the exact size without trimming as I wanted full coverage of the inside of the window, so there is not enough space to install the hooks. I would recommend this product if you want a decent cordless blind without spending a fortune. I can only recommend on how it functions right now, will see how it holds up.

Easy drill and assemble. Really happy with my purchase

Easy to install, fast shipping, other places didn't have the exact size l needed, they were out of stock. Home Depot did and never disappoint!

Easy to install lightweight and the rail is not made out of plastic

The brackets were easy to install but once installed it was difficult to attach head to brackets. Once hung the blinds hang unlevel even though the head is level. Something amiss in the cords.

Easy to install and they look great!

Decent quality vinyl miniblinds. Good instructions, look nice. However two complaints. First, the mounting brackets come with double-stick tape already applied. It's for holding the bracket to the wall prior to installing the mounting screws. I didn't want to use the sticky tape. But the tape doesn't peel off cleanly. It leaves a sticky residue and I didn't have a solvent handy. Had to use friction-rub off as much as I could, but couldn't get it all off. Next time I will have Goof-Off or denatured alcohol handy. Second, in order to adjust the length of the blinds, you have to remove the "bottom rail buttons" -- little plastic plugs that hold the strings to the bottom rail. Then remove extra horizontal vinyl slats and trim excess cord. However, while using gentle pressure to remove these buttons, several of them just sheared off. I was using plastic auto trim clip removal tools and these buttons still broke off. The buttons are made from a cheap plastic. I ended up having to modify plastic wall anchors (for mounting screws to drywall) to replace the broken buttons. I called customer service for replacement buttons, they are sending via USPS but it'll take 5-7 business days to arrive.

Regardless of length/width, these cannot be truly 'inset-mounted'; without modifying the bracket, they must be mounted 'proud' of the casing. [Confirmed this with Customer Service] See the photo for a way of modifying the bracket to provide the extra 0.060" of clearance you'll need for truly inset mounting. Bend the nose of that channel down slowly and carefully. Note: the bracket design for other blinds, e.g. Home Decorators Collection Item #1001510845, aren't made this way; they're 'dog-legged' down.

We have purchased three of these blinds in order to cover the two windows on our french doors. The blinds are easy to install and cover well enough. Unfortunately, they break incredibly easily. So far, all 3 have broken. The first one was replaced. The remaining two are already broken. The problem with these blinds is that the plastic that makes the individual slats is extremely brittle. Rather than bending, it breaks. We have also seen it crack and chip. We not abusing the blinds, but they are on doors. They will be bumped and sometimes bent. These blinds cannot handle it. The price is right and they do the job, but they are incredibly fragile. Don't put them anywhere we they will regularly be brushed against or impacted.

I like the looks and operating feature without the cords hanging.

Within one month of opening and closing the blinds, the individual panes started breaking off. I'm very disappointed in the lack of structural integrity.

I love our new blinds. They fit my odd sized windows perfectly and they were easy to install.

Decent quality, easy to install, works and looks good. I have to replace the same one that only lasted 1 year. I love the cordless feature. I would like it to last longer and price at almost $20 is expensive too.

Had issues in beginning however went to homedepot on Tilly mill one of the associates assisted me and was great!! Went home and put up blinds. Truly an very satisfied with service

This an excellent product! I really like the elimination of the cord pulls. The easy of raising and lowering with out the entangling cords is a REAL PLUS!! The quality is very good and price easy on the pocket book. They do a good job of 'darkening' a room - not total darkness, but very good at eliminating direct sunlight or light form another source. Color is uniform between the header and slats. Great job or reducing UV heat transfer from a window. Easy to install and clean. I would recommend to anyone wanting to add blinds to their home.
