Grandekor Cordless Blackout Cellular Fabric Honeycomb Blinds - Door and Window Shades

B. White: I've bought 5 of these particular blinds for the living room/dining room area. They are easy to install, look great and do an awesome job of blocking out the light. (Live in Florida so keeping the light from heating up the trailer is a must during the summer months.)

I don't plan on lifting them and closing them that often so they'll stay 'closed' most of the time. I'll see how they hold up over time and if there are any issues I'll be sure to update my review. But so far I'm very happy with these!

William G.: It was easy to install and appears to work as it should after installing.
I like the appearance of the blind and it was reasonably priced when compared to others.
I ordered 2 more after getting the first one.

Rey: Easy install, blocks lighted as expected and size was accurate to order. I would buy these again.

FutronFutron: Long story short, we had spent a significant dollar amount on the window treatments for our new house two years back. We decided to go with the "trusted" name-brand manufacturer since the name Hunter-Douglas was supposed to be synonymous with quality. Fast forward two years, and I can resoundingly say that Hunter-Douglas is little more than overpriced junk bolstered by a name which may have, in previous decades, evoked some semblance of quality, but clearly no longer.

With even careful use, the Hunter-Douglas Duet shades wrinkled and tore like cheap papier-mâché. The pleats started to come apart at the seams with very minimal use, as I had rarely up until then raised or closed the blinds since they were in a mostly unused room. Keep in mind that these non-blackout shades cost nearly $600 each at the time, and they felt like very cheap and very thin low-quality paper. It's no wonder they tore so easily with minimal use. The Hunter-Douglas affiliated installer that I ordered them from was also no help and likely was in cahoots with Hunter-Douglas to deny any warranty action for their cheap, flimsy paper shades. Imagine the profit that installer and the manufacturer must...

Carl Stubbs: To reduce expenses and to help protect the environment, in early 2021 our household started taking a number of measures to cut our energy consumption. Those measures have proven successful: total 2021 electricity consumption in our single-family, detached home in the US SE was about 8,000 kWh (3,200 of which was for HVAC), compared to about 11,000 kWh annual average in previous years. [UPDATE on 1/1/23: our total electricity consumption in 2022 dropped even further to just 5,500 kWh (1,600 of which was for HVAC) for the year. We have HALVED our electricity consumption. Huge savings.]

Much of our attention has been on our windows. In addition to improving energy efficiency, we have thought about privacy and, in certain rooms, blocking bright light (to allow for sleep by day…). With all this in mind, we are very pleased with our Grandekor cellular shades. And they’re beautiful, as well.

While researching the energy efficiency of different window coverings, we learned that cellular shades are given particularly high marks.

One word of caution: open the packaging very carefully so as to avoid cutting or otherwise damaging the network of strings at the top of...
