"The cordless mini blinds take a little getting used to. Once you play with them a bit, you will get the hang of it. We don't like that you can't close the blind tightly like you can with a corded blind. It's also a bit tedious to get the blind to flip all the way down.
If you pull them down, the blinds will close one way depending on how you hung them. In order to get them to flip the other way AND be all the way down, you have to pull them out past the bottom of the window and then raise them back up just enough to flip and fit back into the window opening. It takes a bit of practice to get the flip trick down.
Despite leaking a bit of light when closed and the flip trick, we love our new cordless mini-blinds!"
