There is no way what we received is "blackout". the blind we received is slightly better than a sheer curtain. It was not easily installed so we are stuck with what we got, but will not order again.

In the old days I just settled for 'close enough' mini-blinds. It is nice to have them actually fit the width of the window.
The cutting only takes a couple of minutes. The edges are rounded just like if they were stock. They look very nice, somehow they look just a little more finished and crisp and straight than the cheap ones I was accustomed to. Mounting takes a bit to figure out, but I like the method.
The pricing online was a little wonky. I went into the store and paid about $16 per blind.

What a joke. I should have read the one star reviews before buying. Here is the review, ready?: They are NOT BLACKOUT BLINDS. They are the standard, normal plastic mini blinds you see everywhere. They do not blackout jack ####. Returned these immediately. And not just that, but they only closed one direction. I tried winding them so they closed the other direction and the blinds' range of motion stopped before they were closed. See photo for how much light came through when they were all the way closed in the downward position.

"Balckout" is a completely inaccurate description
These blinds do not block light in either of the closed positions. When tilted up, blinds do not close completely and do not darken the room at all. When tilted down, sunlight (or any outside light from above) shines right through the slats.

Not what I wanted
The slats do not let light through their surface--what you would expect with a "blackout" blind--but there is way too much light coming in-between. I read other reviews saying the same, but thought that since I am not trying to sleep in this room, I wouldn't be bothered by a little light coming through. But I am still blinded by direct sun with these blinds. You cannot turn the slats in the opposite direction (down instead of up) to accommodate a high sun. The blinds do not close all the way when you do this, and the reflected light is very bright. Either way, I cannot get sufficient light stopped to work with these right next to my desk. I'm quite frustrated with this. My third attempt to get something that would work.

Not blackout blinds
I would rate these blinds as room darkening maybe even light filtering. If I would of known they were this bad I would of purchased the cheaper light filtering type. But installation was easy and they do look like a quality product.

Definitely pleased for the price
We purchased these blinds In black for our son's apartment bedroom at college even after reading all the negative reviews about the fact they are not room darkening. That being stated and having installed hundreds of these types blinds through the years at the rental properties we own (first time for this brand) this is the good and bad:
The Good: Easy installation - my son, who never put up a mini blind in his life, had two blinds installed in less than ten minutes while I watched; smooth operation; slats open and close fully from top to bottom; well built
The Bad (maybe): The blinds are not 100% room darkening, however, they were installed in the middle of the day in bright sunlight and when the lights were turned off and the door was closed the room was definitely dark enough to not see much - a person could sleep comfortably.
Our opinion: For the money they are more than adequate. If a person wants full darkening blinds, then spend the big $$ to get the room darkening ones.

Exactly what I wanted
I needed something to cover my bathroom window for now, and this item fit my needs perfectly. It was vey inexpensive, fits perfectly in my window, and allows me to filter as much light as I want.

Nightshift workers Do NOT BUY
Blinds look good in a early 1990's Fresh Prince of Bell Air style. However for utility they fail horribly. Like a Honda Civic in muddy swamp land with tree stumps, wheres a Jeep with big mud triers will get one out of the swam and over the stumps. These do not block out light. Blinds only reduce light just a little compared to normal white blinds. Blinds do not close all the way facing down. Blinds do not close facing up. The plastic part on cord broke during installation. Total wast of time and resources. Wish i checked reviews before buying. Will promptly return and go with an old fashion blackout roll blind. With a roll blind, one only worries about the edges.

Horrible product.
The blinds melted within a week of installation. I would not recommend these to anyone.

They don't black out anything
I got these to block out the morning sun and the street light right outside my bedroom window at night. I couldn't make them close enough to do either. The blades do not come down on top of each other to block out any light, and when you try to rotate them up, they only go a little past half way, so that definitely doesn't black/block out anything either. The photos show them closed as much as possible- which isn't very much! I returned these as soon as I could get them out of my windows for the cellular blackout shades, which work. These are horrible, don't waste your time and money on these!!

This item size was specified wrong by the store, which we noticed when I picked it up. After a lengthy search, I was told that there is NOTHING available at all to replace my current blind.

The blinds were shipped in the original box that would be used for display at the store and straps were tightly put around it. When the box was opened, the strap bent the aluminum rail on the top. Also, not sure it it was intentional or not, but the holes on the blinds were punched off center on all of them so when the blind is raised, they hang at an angle. One of the holes were punched too close to the edge and the cord was not even going through the hole. The only reason I kept the blinds is because it was a great price. I have a valance that covers the dent and overall, I'm happy with it.
