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

These shades are wonderful. They are easy to install and look great. The best thing is you don't need to drill any holes for screws. I would purchase again.

We moved into a new house about 3 months ago. I had about a dozen windows to cover and I didn't want to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on blinds. After looking around and reading the reviews, I decided to give these a try. If you're at all capable of doing simple home handyman type work, installing these should be fairly easy. Measure twice, cut once. Your best bet is to use something with a sharp SERRATED edge to trim these. Then just peel and stick. I'm pretty confident that these would stick just fine to our brand new painted sheet rock with the included adhesive tape but I didn't want to take any chances so I used some 3M type double sided adhesive tape for extra insurance. In retrospect, this probably wasn't necessary but I wanted to be sure they stayed up. They work perfectly. They provide privacy. They filter (but don't block) sunlight, and they actually look really good. Particularly since they all look uniform on the exterior of the house, even as we've started adding curtains in some of the rooms. They are very easy to lift and lower and they stay in place. Time will tell as far as longevity and durability but so far so good. I will say that they probably won't last too long if you have rambunctious cats or curtain climbing rug rats. But for the rest of us, these are an excellent choice for blinds on a budget. Two thumbs up. 👍🏻👍🏻

UPDATE 1/21/2024 I had originally wrote this review in February or maybe March of 2023 shortly after I purchased these and started having issues. I just decided to update it because several more have failed along the way in a pretty short span of time with broken cords and adhesive problems and we have just lived with it. In fact, all of them have some kind of issue now that makes me wish I had never purchased them. However, when I went to the order to update the review, it looks like I may have never originally hit the submit button, so if not - here it is now. Oh, and my son, who originally turned me onto these and said they were great, and who didn't have any of the problems that I was seeing, has since experienced all of his breaking one way or another and was forced to move on as well. March 2023 ? I bought 7 of these starting back in 12/2022 and again about the beginning of February 2023. I have 5 of the 48" and 3 of the 30". About the only positive things about them is that they are pretty easy to install and the pleated design looks great. In theory, they should be a decent product at price point for someone who doesn't want to spend a ton of money on a higher quality shade and understands that these won't last anywhere near as long as those nicer ones. With that said... First off, the packaging is not sufficient, as the longer ones usually get bent or crushed in shipping - leaving a noticeable dent or broken plastic on the lower bar - sometimes in several places. Yes, Amazon will, and has replaced those, but time and effort is lost - especially if you don't notice damage until unpacking and possible already cutting. The product itself: I have had multiple issues with all of them, although the shorter ones are a little less problematic overall because they are slightly sturdier by nature of being shorter. However, they all suffer from several common issues. Like others have commented, the adhesive seems hit or miss for how well it secures the shade to the top of window frame. I had one falling down from the top every single day (after it was up for about 3 days). I would put it back up and press the adhesive lined pleat back in place, only to have it be back on the bottom of window in the morning. It is also horrible how the bottom pleat of shade is attached to the bottom bar, as just simply pulling them down a few times has lifted the adhesive attach points from where and how it is attached to that bar. It is the same on all of the shades - even the shorter ones. Just look at the video and photos and you can see how cheaply and poorly designed these are. And, contrary to some reviewers saying that the shades operate effortlessly mine do not. All of them have significant drag/friction in the mechanism as you pull down, and it really stresses the cords and the adhesive - as well as the cheap flimsy plastic the lower bar is made of. Other issues: As others have mentioned, the shades will not open or close to level (at least the longer ones do that for me). One side is always lower - sometimes significantly than the other in both up and down positions. Yes, I can frustratingly play with it for a while and get it about right, but it is not easy and I am very mechanically inclined. Honestly I shouldn't have to fight with these at all just to use them as designed. The instructions say that this problem is caused when the cord tension becomes unbalanced, and how to fix, but I can say that the fix does not work for this inherent issue. This is less of a problem on the shorter ones. The longer shades WILL NOT retract smoothly and evenly. They start to in the beginning, but about two thirds of the way up or so, they no longer have tension and bunch up. You have to struggle with multiple attempts to get them all the way up and they usually will not be straight when finished. Another example of a fault in the design of the mechanism. Lastly, the one in the photo that shows the shade that kept falling to the bottom because of poor adhesion (my surface was prepped clean and not the problem) just tonight permanently failed when the left side cord just broke while it was being pulled down. These shades are operated carefully, so this should not have happened a month and a half from installation, but seeing there is so much tension and resistance when you pull them down, I am not surprised. Again - look a the video and you can see the tension. Not one of mine operate smoothly and easily, and I can assure anyone that they are indeed installed properly. Well, that about wraps up this review. I cannot believe that many of these reviews are authentic, as they give such glowing accounts of how great this product is. That fact is that they are cheaply made, have a bad extension and retraction mechanism design, and just all around do not live up to the hype. I understand they are an approximate $30-$50 product and not the same caliber of product as something that cost 2-4 times their cost, but these should be much better than they are. For all these reasons I cannot recommend them at all. Sorry Redi Shade - you need to rethink/redesign this product and do better. Your customers should not be experiencing these common faults without you doing something to correct. I believe you have been in business for a good while, so no excuse to have this crappy of a product - or perhaps this level of quality control problem seeing that there are a good number of people who don't seem to have any issues.

Bought these to replace a set of metal miniblinds that was 20+ years old and had needed a few repairs since install. After removing the old blinds I followed the instructions to measure the inner and outer width of the window area. Their instructions on "inner" and "outer" were a little confusing at first as I wasn't sure if by outer they meant to the outer edge of each side's aluminum window or the width of the surrounding frame (from left to right beyond the aluminum frame width). My home's windows are from ca. 1979 so they may've been thinking a newer standard. No matter though, they were true to their guidance in the instructions that with the outer length they'd baked in calculations to ensure space enough on either side of the blinds once cut, such that the set ended up fitting neatly in the space cutting out light with a lot less "leaking" out from around the blinds when closed. Having installed a couple of these now I highly recommend using a hacksaw with a very finely-serrated blade to at least start the cuts into the plastic portions of the blinds. Starting from the top, perhaps 5-7 strokes with the hacksaw helped make cutting into the cloth portion much easier, and then once having cut through the blinds themselves finishing the bottom plastic piece using the hacksaw only made things a LOT easier, helpful for anybody with the makings of carpal tunnel syndrome like myself. The provided plastic guide works fine, but I'd much rather use a more durable saw miter box as the guide is flimsy and can easily be nudged as you work the knife down through the blinds. Ultimately though things turned out nicely. Cleaning has yet to be determined, will update if and when that becomes a concern. Also, with the latest set I installed, the left-hand side isn't hanging down as much and the bottom does not evenly contact my marble windowsill. I happened to have some lead wire handy and inserted a tiny bit into the styrofoam which seems to have helped. Overall though a nice set of easy to install blinds that block out significantly more sun than my previous set.

I was super excited to get this. The size I ordered fit the space I needed perfectly so I didn't need to cut it down to size. The previous tenants of my apartment had frosted tints on the window and I enjoy being able to see outside and letting light into my home as much as possible. I live on the first floor and it's not raised from the street so anyone can see right in and see our whole apartment so I was concerned about privacy if anyone is walking by. So I was looking at alternative tints for windows but the issue with getting other tints is that you'll be able to see outside fine in the day but anyone can see inside at night when our lights are on. So I thought of a sheer curtain but that would have taken too much work and it's such a small space. SO during my search I found these blinds that didn't need any nails or screws or drill work, just self adhesive. It fits perfectly in the gap between my cupboard and the cubby window sill and there's enough height in between that the blinds can be hidden just have to make sure not to push it up too far. Today is the first day of it being up and so far so good. It's adhered to a dry wall paint so we'll see how it holds up. I know adhesives adhere better to shiny surfaces. My kitchen isn't very bright so I'm happy that there's a way to make it brighter with these blinds. What I love is that you barely need any strength to pull it down and minimal effort to push it up. **Update July 12, 2019** Ok so the adhesion to the wall wasn’t so great and it detached BUT I think it’s because my husband was fiddling with it showing it off to our friend and it became uneven and I was trying to fix it and it and that’s when it detached. I already had a solution in mind for when a time like this came and I needed to put it back up. Adhesive sticks best to a shiny surface so I put a strip of clear 2” tape over the painted area and put a new strip of double sided tape on the blinds and stuck the blinds onto the taped area. I will update again if this was a fail. **Update November 20, 2021** Still holding up strong since my last update with the clear tape method. I was having issues with the unevenness.. I always try to pull both sides together instead of pulling the middle incase it causes a strain on the adhesive but I’m so short that to stretch for far to reach the right side is not always so perfect. So I followed the instructions to extend the blinds to the max length to reset it. It’s been levelled fine since a couple days ago. ** Update March 26, 2022 ** Yea it went back to being unlevelled days later. And now the string has popped on the left side. So I guess this last 2.5 years. I don’t know how to fix the pulley mechanism for the string so I just took off the base, trimmed the length and using chip clips to hold it open.

I have bought three of these - I think they are great for the money. I use them for small bathroom, laundry room and pantry windows in my house; rooms where I might want to just get a new shade periodically. The fabric is a nice weight and color, and looks pretty with the light shining through. They pull up and down easily, but one of them wanted to hang a little lower on one side when it was half up. For the price and convenience of the shade, I overlooked it. I would have given these five stars because they are so easy to cut to fit, to install; also, because they are remarkably sturdy for a stick-up shade and totally affordable. But hat little bit of crooked makes it only earns three stars.

I’m so impressed with the Redi Shade No Tools Easy Lift Trim-at-Home Cordless Pleated Light Filtering Fabric Shade! Installing these shades was a breeze — I didn’t need any tools or extra help. The instructions were clear, and I was able to trim them to the perfect size for my windows in just a few minutes. The cordless design is a huge plus, making them safe and easy to use, especially with kids around. Not only were they simple to install, but they also look fantastic. They filter the light beautifully, giving my room a soft, calming glow while still providing plenty of privacy. The pleated fabric adds a touch of elegance to my space without being too heavy or bulky. I’m really happy with my purchase and would highly recommend these shades to anyone looking for a hassle-free, stylish window treatment!

At first these blinds were great. Easy to install and blocked the appropriate amount of light. It was a challenge to cut them and get them to fit, but maybe my knife wasn’t sharp enough. Anyway, they did their job for about two months and then the adhesive started to fail. I tried to re-attach them to the window opening but every couple of days they would fail again. I followed the instruction to the letter but unfortunately that was still the outcome. The one in my office completely failed and never worked again for longer than an hour or so. I’m disappointed, and of course, I’ve missed my return window, so I’m out the money. I wouldn’t recommend them and even if given the opportunity to have them replaced, I’d turn that down. I need a blind that’s not going to give me such an issue two months down the road. Everything else about the blinds is good quality. That’s why I’m giving two stars. It did everything well except for stay installed. Haha!
