Yes. I'm still not sure whether I should regret it or not. Electric was too expensive for us. We tried electric ones at friends' places, and to me they somehow felt "too slow," which probably sounds stupid.

I find the blinds slow, the roller blinds are okay in my opinion. I thought electric roller blinds were standard by now.

It was just a question without judgment. Some people just prefer it a bit shadier.

We actually do, we are total nerds and don't need it super sunny in the house. Especially since we also like it cool.
However, the photo is not representative. On that day the sun was blazing through the windows and my phone has an automatic feature that adjusts the exposure. The room actually appears normally bright, the phone slightly underexposed it so you can see more.

Ok I don’t find the blinds with the cord that bad. Electric is more something you can have but don’t have to. But I also know the doubts. We’re not even in detailed planning yet and already afraid of choosing/planning something wrong.

Well, usually you don’t stand next to it while it’s going down. So I press the button and the thing goes down by itself – in the meantime I can already do something else. In direct comparison, it goes electrically slower than if I let the blind down on the strap quickly. But if I compare: pressing once or letting it down manually, then it’s faster electrically.

From a certain size on, our window installer always recommended electric operation and also at my parents' place, who originally had a large window with a normal blind operated by strap, this window was equipped with electric operation during the renovation.

Well, as a rule, you don’t just stand next to it when it’s going down. So I press the button and the thing goes down on its own - in the meantime I can already be doing something else. In direct comparison, it goes electrically slower than if I let the blind slide down on the strap. But if I compare: press once, or let it down manually, then it’s faster electrically.

From a certain size, our window installer always recommended electric, and also with my parents, who originally had a large window with a normal blind, i.e. on the strap, this window was equipped electrically during renovation.

Then a question: then they close completely and you can’t see anything anymore, right?
if I want a bit of light, so don’t lower it all the way, then I stand awkwardly next to it even if it’s electric?
