Arlo vs Belle Max blackout cordless blinds
I bought these blinds to darken the room for better sleep, to save on cooling and heating costs and because this brand had a very large selection of sizes. I also ordered blackout cordless blinds from Belle Max in the cool silver so I can tell you the difference between the two.These Arlo cordless blackout blinds are very nice, they are a white fabric-like material with a lined honeycomb to insulate and keep light out. I installed them in a room which hasn't been painted yet as you will see in the pics I am posting. However, I did NOT like the brackets these attach to, the brackets are not as sturdy as I would have liked. IF YOU ARE MOUNTING THEM INSIDE THE WINDOW MEASURE AND MARK THE OVAL AREA BETWEEN THE SPRINGS THEN GET A VERY SMALL DRILL BIT AND DRILL IN SO YOU CAN SCREW THE BRACKETS IN. I USED STRONGER FLAT HEADED SCREWS SO THE BULKY SCREW HEAD DOESN'T INTERFERE WHEN YOU SNAP IT IN.These do the job and look nice but honestly the Belle Max brand had a nicer top and bottom rail and the brackets were very sturdy and it was easier to install. Both are very nice but I did see complaints about the Belle Max material and I actually really like those but you can't please EVERYONE, lol.For the price, these and the Belle Max are a seriously good deal!! I priced out blinds from Walmart, JCPENNEY and online stores and just one blackout cordless blind was over $100 and in some cases almost $200…
