Redi Shade No Tools Easy Lift Select Trim-at-Home Cordless Cellular Light Filtering Fabric Shade White, 36" W x 64" L, (Fits windows 19 in - 36 in)

I have on of those wonderful (sarcastic) extra long windows in an older Manhattan apartment. I have to use window curtains because it's the only thing long enough to cover the windows. Curtains look fantastic. Problem is, with an A/C window unit, I could not close my curtains at night because the A/C needed to pull in and blow out the air. Plus, there is something about any person walking down a NYC sidewalk being able to see into my apartment that disturbed me. I was tired of rolling my curtain up against my A/C unit every night. This was the perfect solution! When the A/C is in the window, I can just pull down the Easy Lift shade and instant privacy! It does't block hardly any light, just diffuses it a bit, which was another great feature. The adhesive works fine but you have to clean the area first before applying it. The shade is cheap but doesn't look the part. The plastic piece came cracked from shipping, but it was nothing I couldn't live without, and obviously has nothing to do with any flaws to the shade itself. Wish they made these in an even longer model.

I received this item as you see here. One was in a separate box the other was rattling around in the much bigger box. Tape had been pulled off. Top and bottom rail mangled. After receiving a replacement from Amazon .... quickly might I add. The product has been upgraded to 5 stars. I’m familiar with this brand. I have bought their product back in the early 90’s. Before cords was outlawed by parents. The product is of easy to cut and install, but will disappoint because the actual fabric comes away from the head rail. Woke up in middle of night found the blinds had come away from the top rail. The fabric is wrapped around the top rail like a channel and glued on . I’m going to see if I can return them ( since they have been cut to size) I would never purchase this product again.

We recently had new windows installed and we wanted some nice shades for our living room picture window which consists of 3 windows measuring a total of 94 inches wide by 64 inches tall. We checked out several places for custom made easy lift shades. The prices we were quoted for 2 shades measuring 23 inches wide and 1 shade measuring 48 inches wide were anywhere between $800 all the way up to $1500.00. We couldn't justify paying as much or more for the shades as we did for the windows so we decided to do a little online shopping and found these shades at Amazon.com. We were a little hesitant to purchase without seeing the product in advance but because of Amazon.com's return policy, we decided we had nothing to lose so we went and ordered them. We are SO GLAD WE DID!!!! We purchased one shade at 48 by 64 inches and two shades at 36 by 64 inches for a total of $100.00. These shades are VERY similar to the more expensive shades we've been shown. With the exception of the sizing and installation we honestly cannot see or tell any difference at all. The installation was extremely easy, the shades glide up and down just as good as the custom made shades we looked at. We did have a little problem with cutting the shades with the kitchen knife as suggested in the instructions so we used a utility knife razor instead which did an excellent job, we got a very clean and smooth cut. We did not purchase the darkening shades but these shades do filter the sun light pretty well even though that was not our main concern because the windows do all the filtering. We've only had the shades for a short time so we are a little curious and anxious to see how well and how long they hold up but for the time being, they look very nice, they definitely provide privacy and we are EXTREMELY pleased with our purchase. We have already had several very nice compliments regarding the way they look and operate....this has definitely been a wise purchase for us. We got exactly what we wanted and saved a whole lot of $$$$$! We highly recommend these shades!

These shades were great for about a year...but one by one the adhesive failed. So I glued them. Then the plastic became brittle and began to rip. So I fixed the plastic. Then the mechanisms failed...and now I have these garbage things hanging like bits of phlegm from my my windows. If you are in a dorm, or renting a house these MIGHT work, but SHEETS WORK BETTER! They are big (cut to size!). You can hang them with nails and tape. And they are cheap! $9.99 for these babies. And if you move you can sleep on them, double win. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XK9CU6K/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_aUZHCbA9CJ62F But if you buy these shades you will regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But probably a few days after tomorrow. Like me, you'll have to take them all down after measuring ALL the windows in your house, then scrape off the glue and then buy better ones on amazon and install those. All this because I thought I could save some money on some stupid window shades. I was wrong and I'm sorry now. but it's too late. Don't be like me. Be smarter than me. You are worth it.

I gave it four stars because it was a little hard to understand their directions for cutting at a 45 degree angle when trimming the edges. Otherwise, the quality is very nice and light but blocks the light like we needed. It is SO easy to pull the shade down and you simply lightly push up the bottom the shade to raise them. SUCH A GOOD DESIGN. Again, it was a little hard to cut with what they recommended ( a kitchen knife). They do have an online video help guide you can go to for more instructional help--which I did not do, and I am sure that would have been a little more helpful than black and white xerox instructions. However, once you figure it out and get in swing of things, these are really easy to cut/install. I will probably buy for other rooms in the future!

I ordered two of these shades to dress my two new windows. I am very pleased with them so far! They've only been up a short time and so far they are staying put. My concern was that the adhesive wouldn't be strong enough to hold - time will tell but so far so good. Easy to measure, cut and install. The hardest part for me was peeling the ruler sticker off once I was finished cutting. They do not peel off smoothly, instead coming off in tiny little pieces. Annoying. I used a bit of water to moisten them after a bit and that made it a little easier. GooGone would work well but I don't have any. Assuming these stay where they are supposed to (don't loose their stickiness) I will purchase more in the future for other windows.

May 24, 2019: We ordered one about 6 months ago and loved it. This one is a slightly different model number and the bottoms on both of these hang crooked; because the mechanism is automatic there is no way to level them. Also, when they are cut to size, there are no end caps included to cover the cut ends (these were included in the original model we bought #3511250). They were easy to cut to size with a sharp knife - the sizing rulers on these are brilliant. Edit Jun 6, 2019 We've now had these up not quite 2 weeks and the mechanism in the one blind is jamming. The blind would only pull 3/4 of the way down. Some gentle maneuvering got it so it would finally pull all the way down again. Also sometimes when the blind is raised all the way up the one corner hangs down about 6". I definitely would not recommend these. Update July 20, 2019 The mechanism on the one that was jamming is now totally locked and won't budge. The return time has gone by so sadly this one will end up in the garbage. I'm keeping the star rating at 2 since the other one does kind of work. Definitely not worth the $30. I would not recommend this product. Update Oct 2021 The top of the blind in now detaching itself from the tape and the bottom plastic rail totally shattered today. I would give it 0 stars if I could but could only downgrade it to 1 star.

This shade is attractive and easy to install BUT: The top and bottom frame are extremely flimsy. There are cutting guide decals that are supposed to be removed after trimming, but it's nearly impossible due to how thin the rail is. The tape that holds the pleats to the top rail failed after a few hours. I repaired it with hot glue and it's good now.

I loved how easy they were to put up but they won’t stay even at the bottom. It drops on the one side on 3 of the 4. I would say to go up a notch on quality and it will be fine
