'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?

ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

There's nothing like having an "open sesame" moment when you wake up in the morning and your window shades automatically roll up. There are various ways to automate existing shades and curtains, and while smart window treatments can get expensive quickly, the Smartwings brand offers some great value for money.

I've had the Smarwings shades in my home for a few months, but I suffered a back fracture that prevented me from installing them. After finally enlisting my husband to install them, I was actually surprised by how easy the process was. Of course, I couldn't do them with multiple broken vertebrae, but he did it in a few minutes.

The Smartwings smart shades are easy to install and operate.

I've seen and used many smart and motorized shades at work, and I was incredibly impressed by the Smartwings models. I've tried the newest models at trade shows, used older versions at short-term rentals, and have tried several retrofit options at home. Smartwings proved to offer some of the best value alternatives to premium smart shades, namely those from Lutron.
