  Ooooh they look nice. Like the fact that the blinds go right to the edge compared to the roller blinds which have a small gap on either end.

  Thanks for the heads up. We have a lot of windows wider than 1.4m so it's a shame the blinds aren't available in wider sizes.

    I've read the same thing on YouTube video comments.
    What I've done is put some of mine side-by-side, the frames almost touching each other. From a privacy POV it's essentially one blind.
    You can also pair/group them together in the Apple Home app and they look cool going up and down synchronously.

  Wait until Russian hackers get a hold of these…

  If you already have horizontal or mini blinds, you could always use SwitchBit Blind Tilt

  Wake me up when they have automated curtains 👋.

  I did install 3 automated roller blinds from blindsonline to my living areas and they were really affordable and good.

  I saved a bucketload over these by going to Spotlight and buying Zemismart motors.

  I've edited my original post with the below advice.

  The cheapest way to buy these is as follows:
  1) Buy Ikea gift cards from Shopback (3% off) [or Cashrewards (2% off)], ideally when there is a Shopback App gift card promotion (4-6% off) at least 48 hours (activation period) before heading into the shop. https://www.shopback.com.au/product/search/ikea
  To be sure your gift cards have been activated, you can check here: https://www.ikea.com/au/en/customer-service/ikea-gift-cards-…
  2) Go to Ikea during an IKEA Family or IKEA Business Network "Spend and Save" $25/$50/$100 Promotion Period. So far, there have been ones in Jan/Feb and April.
  3) Stack the above two discounts with a $10 (or $15) Quarterly Reward or a $10 Birthday reward. Pay for each item separately as necessary to make the most of the reward discounts you have available.
