After purchasing nearly 4 other types of blinds for my nursery I'm happy to say these are the best budget blackout blinds out there! They look clean, they roll up nice and overall I'm very happy. For reference my windowsill is 30.5" wide from where the window track pokes out but the window itself is 31", and the top depth is barely 2". Finding something that would sit into the frame to block as much light and sit fully flush was nearly impossible. After everything I tried these are the best for what I needed. Weight is super light but the blind itself feels very thick, not a flimsy fabric. Blackout is pretty good despite the edges showing through. The white with the matching aluminum valance is true to color. Install is SUPER easy Read more
I installed these blackout roller shades to reduce heat in the summer and keep the rooms warmer in the winter. After two years of use and even reinstalling them in a new apartment, they continue to work extremely well and have noticeably improved the temperature inside my home. --- Performance / Testing These shades block sunlight very effectively and significantly reduce heat during the summer. In the winter, they help keep the cold out, making the rooms feel more insulated and stable in temperature. I have them installed above the window frame (not inside‑mount), and they still provide excellent coverage. They also helped lower my electricity bill because my central AC doesn’t have to work as hard. The blackout fabric performs well, but it can wrinkle if pressed or if objects lean against it. The wrinkles don’t affect function, but they are visible. --- Build & Design The design is simple, discreet, and blends easily with different room styles. The shade slides smoothly and is fully manual: you pull it slightly downward and it retracts on its own. It doesn’t make much noise when rolling up, though the pull handle does tap lightly when it reaches the top. The material feels durable, and after two years of use—including uninstalling and reinstalling during a move—the shades are still in very good condition. The shade includes a quick‑release feature, which is extremely useful for cleaning or maintenance. --- Installation Installation is straightforward, and the shade can be mounted above the window or even over existing blinds. The kit includes all necessary hardware, but you do need your own tools. They are also easy to uninstall and reinstall, which was helpful when I moved apartments. --- Daily Use Daily operation is smooth and reliable. The shade stays firmly in place at any height you choose, doesn’t shift with normal use, and rolls up without jerking. The temperature improvement is noticeable, especially in bedrooms. Combined with window‑edge insulation strips, the effect is even better—less dust, fewer drafts, and more stable indoor temperature. --- Details That Matter - Excellent blackout performance - Helps reduce heat in summer and cold in winter - Smooth manual operation - Quick‑release feature for cleaning - Can be installed above blinds - Hardware included (tools required) - Fabric can wrinkle if pressed - Two years of use with no functional issues --- Pros - Strong blackout and insulation performance - Smooth manual retraction - Easy to install, uninstall, and reinstall - Discreet design - Quick‑release mechanism - Helps reduce energy usage Cons - Fabric wrinkles if pressed or bent - Handle taps lightly when fully rolled up --- Overall / Verdict A reliable and effective blackout shade that improves room temperature, reduces energy usage, and operates smoothly. After two years of use and a full reinstall, it continues to perform extremely well. Highly recommended for anyone dealing with heat, cold, or light control issues. Read more

I am giving these AOSKY roller shades a solid five stars. I chose the dark gray and the color is exactly what I was hoping for—it looks very high quality and modern. The fit was perfect right out of the box, and the ease of installation was fantastic; I had them up quickly with no issues. Honestly, it was harder, taking out my old blinds. In terms of functionality, the shades operate smoothly and quietly. The biggest surprise was the dramatic improvement in cold air blockage. These shades make a noticeable difference in regulating the room temperature, which is exactly the extra idea I was looking for. I will say that at first I ordered linen and I thought it looked nothing like it did on the website. It looked very creamy and yellowy so I had to return those and got the gray and they are so much better. Read more
