allen + roth 2.5-in Slat Width 49.25-in x 72-in Cordless White Faux wood Room darkening Horizontal blinds

Hard to install and hard to raise and lower

Hard to raise and lower, for the price it should be a better quality

Not worth the money

I purchased two motorized cellular Allen + Roth blinds and it worked for two weeks and now for the past four plus months I have had to deal with one side of the blinds not going all the way up. The machine on one of the blinds failed and didn’t go up now I am stuck with a window that’s not able to close at Night now. This is the worst possible blind I could have bought.

Dissatisfied with blinds

Poor quality! Not at all worth the price! (1) The blades on these “room darkening” blinds do not close completely when the closing/opening rod is rotated fully, leaving much light to show between the blades (2) the blinds do not stay in place when you lift them up toward the top of the window. As soon as you release the blinds from the height you want them the stay, they immediately slip back down. We would not recommend these blinds to anyone!

Works

It works, easy to operate

Nice Overall

First one was defective and would only raise and lower on half the blind due to broken cords. Second one worked as supposed to. Nice otherwise, just didn’t like having to spend time hanging it not knowing it had issues. Much more expensive than the standard sizes though.

Retraction broke after 6 months

I ordered around 13 sets of these blinds. I'd say they run a little wide. Install was standard, and they look good. However, at 6 months after install, 2 sets have broken to where only 1 side will stay retracted (raised up). It looks like at center string lost connection to the bottom. Will attempt navigating Lowe's phone maze to negotiate a possible replacement.

Easy to install

Loved the ease of application. Easy to install and looks great.

2.5 inch slats are very wide for venetian blinds.

I like the look of the wide slats. They will be easier to clean than the 1 inch blinds.
