Honest reviews about 505.124.56 TREDANSEN

Review title: Great option for (relatively) inexpensive smart shades.
Customer: CHRISTOPHER C.
Review: I purchased 10 of these for 3 different rooms in my house. I already have a lot of the IKEA smart home products so I'm already in their Home Smart ecosystem and these are cheaper than a lot of other options.

Installing them in the windows was very easy, just a couple screws for the brackets and the shades clip right in. Setting them up in the IKEA app was fairly simple, but it took a while and there was a couple hiccups.

They do a good job blocking light from outside with just a little bleed around the edges. If the measurements matched my windows better or if I could resize the blinds to fit better then there would be less light coming in around the edges.

They're not insanely loud, but they do make noise when they open and close. Enough noise to freak out my dogs. If I have all 10 opening or closing at the same it sounds like a swarm of bees is invading my house.

Definitely happy with my purchase and will be buying more for other rooms in the house.

Review title: Automatic blinds
Customer: Jill
Review: Loved these automated blinds. Nice way to update a room and windows. Wish the remotes were easier to operate, but that’s the only problem. Thankfully there is a button in the blind that makes them easy to operate without the remote.

Review title: Good quality
Customer: ALMA
Review: The available dimensions unfortunately didn’t match our windows but we observed the very good quality and craftsmanship of the shades

Review title: Great quality
Customer: DEBBIE
Review: They looked sturdy in the store however when I got home they did not fit my windows. I had the wrong measurements. Unfortunately IKEA does not sell a blind big enough. These were well priced too. I gave 1 start for installation since I never got to install them. I gave 5 stars for how they worked b/c I demo'd them in the store and they moved up and down so smooth.

Review title: Remote Does Not Pair
Customer: Andrew S.
Review: The shades themselves are decent and the motor function works well. Installation is also a breeze. However, I will be returning them. I have spent hours pairing and re-pairing the remotes. I have set up many smart home devices and have even made my own device handlers for the Smart Things hub to pair this with so I do not need the Tradfri Gateway (which Ikea is rumored to phase out anyways - so another reason NOT TO BUY). Ikea support does not exist as this is how they keep their products ... eh, except for this one, more affordable. Please Do not waste your time with this product. It could be good, but likely needs to be upgraded and reproduced with new hardware and better supporting products before it can reliably work.

Review title: Looks good but doesn't come with much
Customer: Hoang P.
Review: The blinds were easy to install and they seem to function well. The speed is very slow when going up or down but I'm ok with that. What I'm not OK with is Ikea cheaping out and not including any screws or even a battery for the remote. I spent $700 on 5 of these, the least they can do is include the 50 cent battery for the remote and the screws needed to mount the brackets. FWIW, the battery appears to be a CR2032 which they sell in the store. I had just installed some Ikea cabinets and had some leftover screws that worked for mounting the brackets.

Review title: Break after a few months
Customer: Pritesh P.
Review: I loved these at first. It was great to be able to have my blinds be automated at a relatively affordable price. I purchased 6 of these in total and now am down to 3 that still work. Eventually the string on one side of the blind will break and you'll be left with a lop-sided, half-closed/half-open blind. Very disappointed in the build quality of these, not to mention they get extremely dusty (and I'm afraid to even touch the remaining ones for fear of breaking them). Also, setting some of them up was a breeze while some of them gave me a lot of trouble, not sure why since I didn't do anything differently for any of them.
The most disappointing thing, I think, is the customer service from Ikea. They refuse to accept that I return these junk blinds via mail, so I have to drive 3 hours to my nearest store to get them returned. I have 2 of the Fyrtur blinds and they work way better and seem to be better quality.

Review title: Good product, can be better
Customer: RAVNEET
Review: Pretty good product at a decent price point. Bluish/ grayish white color, not pure white, I guess the black insulation inside the cells may causing this dull hue. Usually Ikea products are very well thought and designed, but these blinds have room for improvement. The hanging brackets for these blinds leave about a centimeter of gap at the top of window frame letting light through, besides looking bit unfinished and brackets jetting out of the top, our old Levolor blinds were invisible and top of blinds were flush with the top of window frame. Also, the brackets are way longer than the thickness of the blinds, which leaves a gap of an inch or more behind the blinds, would be better if the blinds are closer to the window by half an inch more, and brackets invisible. We did cut the metal brackets a bit to make the blinds hang closer to window, but you can cut upto a certain depth as the hanging mechanism needs some space behind to twist and then fit in the brackets. Other than that, these are good, light blocking is perfect, open close buttons on blinds, as well as remotes work fine so far. The automation hub is out of stock these days, so can’t comment on voice control yet. Cell size is bit bigger than average size of cells of other brands but not a big deal for us. Would have given 5 stars, if brackets were better designed.

Review title: Broke in 5 months, setup and app are sketchy. Block sun well, hold charge well
Customer: Cameron D.
Review: I purchased 4 shades, the setup was less than intuitive and took me a few hours to complete. Even once setup was complete, shades would fall out of their assigned groups in the app. Then one broke, and Ikea doesn't stand by their products beyond 5 months so I'm out of luck, no exchange even if I was a packrat from the 90s who kept the receipts to things they buy.

Other than that, the shades function as expected, block out almost all sun, and hold a charge for a long time. Now I feel trapped in this ecosystem since I have 3 other shades and a bridge : /

Review title: Quality and Affordable
Customer: Samuel
Review: I have always wanted smart blinds but brands such as Lutron are just too expensive which is why I decided to try iKea first. I initially purchased the Fyrtur blinds and they worked great but the Tredansen is a much better fit edge to edge so I exchanged my Fyrtur blinds. I also wanted a smart blind that easily interfaces with Siri and Alexa since I use both in my home and they work flawlessly. In the end it was around $3500 for all the windows in my home but well worth it. Now before I leave for work I simple say “Hey Siri, Close all the blinds” I also have them set to open automatically 15 min after sunrise. You will not be disappointed with this purchase!

Review title: Amazing smart blinds!
Customer: Esther
Review: These were exactly what we were looking for! I have been amazed at the light blocking, but even more amazed as the room is significantly cooler with these blinds.

Review title: Excellent! Couldn’t get different remotes
Customer: ANDRE
Review: Excellent! Couldn’t get different remotes to control different shades within the same room (easy to pair one control for all). Otherwise outstanding.

Review title: CR2032 & Screws
Customer: MICHAEL
Review: Looks, quality, and performance are exactly what I expected from these cellular blinds. Blackout performance is perfect. There will a little light bleed around the perimeter of the blind (not through the shade as it is blackout material) when inside mounted to the window frame. Just remember for the install, the remote control requires a 3v button cell battery (not included) and appropriate screws.

If you’re new to the IKEA Home Smart ecosystem, be aware that the TRÅDFRI gateway has been out of stock for months because of supply availability so you’ll be able to control these with the included remote, but will have to wait for the gateway’s availability or the release of IKEA’s new DIRIGERA hub (possibly Q4 2022) for smart integration.

Review title: Get them!
Customer: Marvin
Review: These blinds look great, are black out and work great. Added a better look to our house inside and out, and if course the control is amazing.

Review title: Very dark!
Customer: Alton
Review: I was unsure about the level of black out these would provide.
They are fantastic. Block a huge amount of light.
I also have the other version of Ikea motorized blind but I prefer these as they coverage goes nearly to the edge.
