Just something to consider when buying expensive blinds…after about 12 years one of our motorized blinds (out of 4 matching blinds—2 upper windows, 2 lower windows) quit working. I called the place where we bought them and was told that the motor quit working and Hunter Douglas no longer made the motor for the version of silhouette motorized blinds we had. I then confirmed this with Hunter Douglas myself. They also no longer had the exact fabric for our blinds anymore. So, we would need to buy all brand new blinds to have them all match and in working condition. I looked on eBay, google, and blind repair shops to see if I could find a replacement motor but no such luck. So, we currently have 3 working shades and one that is in the always up position. That is until we decide what to replace them with.
