Customer Reviews for VELUX Nature Pink Solar Powered Blackout Skylight Blinds for FS M06 Models

Best purchase!! I previously had a semi light blocking shade on the skylight over my bed-so I got up when the sun came out! I replaced my skylight and decided to get a black out shade and could not be happier with the choice! I purchased this item in late October and it arrived within 3 days- much quicker than the on-line checkout indicated. I initally looked at ordering from another site but Home Depot had the shade for $50 less plus at the time free shipping. The shade is supposed to be an easy install- which I think it would have been but I had issues with how high the skylight is and how it was boxed in. My guess is depending on how savvy you are it may take 20-30minutes. Downside- the directions were not the best/easiest to follow but eventually I was able to put it together. After you install the shade you do have to sync the control/pad to the shade which was a little tricky but worked. Overall I am very impressed with the shade. It works perfect, has an easy to use remote that allows you to completely open or shut the shade or stop it wherever you want (you do not have to mount the pad on the wall; you can leave it in a drawer like I do), it completely blocks out light and it is solar powered which means no wires or mess. I have only been using the shade for a few weeks but I am highly impressed and think it is a great price for the product- plus you get a tax credit for solar powered items!

Velux only carries this product in white in the U.S. In the UK you can choose from 40 colors and even different type fabrics. Come on Velux of the US, it's the 21st century! Everything about this powered shade is well done and exceeded even my expectations which is hard to do. The only thing that ruins it is the vinyl fabric and no color choice.
