    d.The seller and installer of our SunSetter awning were pretty good. Initially, we pushed the schedule of the installation back because we weren't ready as we were having other work done. So, it was installed about a month after we ordered it. We're pretty satisfied with the awning, although I'm monitoring a possible issue that I may have to call the installer back out.

    We added an extension on our patio and we needed to cover that part when we face the west side in the afternoon and the sun is really hot. We got a retractable awning from SunSetter and it looks real well. Also, we had good service from them.

    The sales rep was great. He showed us our choices then we picked what we liked. He told us what size board we should mount up there which was bigger than what we planned on. I got to pick the fabric that I wanted. We got a couple of extra things like the retractable, and there is a sensor on the retractable. It'll close itself. We also got a covering on top of it so that it would stay clean when it retracted. They had three men for the installation. They were done in half an hour. I'd recommend SunSetter to anyone.

    The salesman did the measurements and gave me accurate prices. He also gave me a choice of colors. We did the order and he gave me a nice discount. They wanted half down and five payments. We said, "Can we do half down and 10 payments?" He said, "Let me talk to my boss." And two hours later, he called me back, he said, "My boss said that's fine."

    Two weeks later, I got a call from a woman and she said they were ready to install. The techs installed it and even swept my roof. They made sure it was absolutely perfect. The only glitch was with the accountant. She put through the full amount on my credit card. I got a funny call and the rep said, Hi, it's Joyce again from SunSetter. I just wanted to let you know our bookkeeper made an accident, and she put through the full amount on your credit card, but it's already been backed off. So if you see it, don't worry." SunSetter is awesome. They're the best company I ever dealt with.

    SunSetter was very prompt with doing everything and giving me the estimate. We got an automatic awning. The techs put it up and it looks nice. The only issue I had was that after I purchased it, there were all these incentives I was emailed. But I didn't qualify for them. One email was with $1,300 worth of things where I would get the cover and the lights. It was frustrating because I didn't get those things.

    I've known of SunSetter Awnings for 40 years and when we wanted to put an awning on, I knew they were reputable and I went with them. For the installation, they called and said they were gonna come on a Friday. That Friday was really gonna be complicated for us but I would have made it work for them. But the tech called me on Thursday and asked if it was okay if he came that day. It was so much easier. They came and they were clean and nice people.

    The awning we got was custom-made for what we wanted. It blocks the sun in our deck. It's very warm here in Hilton Head in South Carolina and it really is amazing. I'd be sitting out there late morning through the afternoons and it's been very comfortable. One time, I was hitting buttons to open it up and I messed it up and it wouldn't work. I called the number on our receipt and they put me on with a technician. He talked me right through it and then I was good to go.

The installers were very quick. It has a remote but if electricity is out, we can crank it. It's amazing and huge. It covers our entire deck. However, we've had an issue with the awning coming back in by itself. But that has only happened once and otherwise, everything else is great.

    I was trying to put an awning on my floating dock. I have a two-story boathouse and I needed it partially covered and I couldn't get a permanent awning on it without coming too low. It's a 30 x 30 platform and 20 x 30 was already covered with a roof and I needed to extend that out to the other 10 feet. I decided to try SunSetter and called the local guy down in Ocala, and he was phenomenal. He was here the next day, sold me on the awning, and he was very professional. The installers and the owner were very professional as well, and installation was great. The installers came out when I scheduled it, put up the awning in half a day and explained it well. The quality is great, and the cost came out less than I was gonna have to pay to have an extended aluminum roof. Plus, this one is retractable, so I don't have to use it all the time.

    There was an existing SunSetter awning when we bought the house. We got a new one to replace the existing one we had. It was the same thing. It's as functional as the old one was. The one we had was just old and torn, so we replaced it with exactly the same thing that we had minus the part that we didn't need. So, it made it a little bit less for us. We did get the wind sensor for safety. Overall, the service was great. It's just they were very expensive.

    SunSetter came out pretty quickly. They made the measures. They followed up timely with me, informing me about the delivery time and the installation of the awning. Then they came out on time on the scheduled day. They installed it. Then I couldn't use the awning for a month because it was still winter, and it was raining around here. I used it the first time probably three weeks ago, and I noticed that I still had direct sunlight in the middle of the part that was supposed to be covered by the awnings. I reached out to them and in this particular aspect, I was not really pleased by their follow-up. I called, and they didn't respond. There was an email that they finally responded. They were supposed to schedule a site visit to my place to check the reason why or to show me why they think they did a perfect job, but they never did.

    We bought our first SunSetter awning a few years ago at our old house we sold last summer. Once we moved in last summer to our brand new home, we knew we wanted to put a SunSetter awning on. We reached out to our agent for the second one because we only moved about nine miles. He's very knowledgeable. He has many years of experience. We liked working with him the first time, we worked with them for this awning. The fitting was really good. We got the electric awning. It's got a wind sensor. Occasionally, we forget to pull it back in and so the wind sensor will pull it in. The one feature that I liked before was the LED lighting facing down toward the floor. Now, the LED strips are on the top side of the arms so you get the indirect lighting but it's not as bright.

    I like the fact that I could have the awning out when I needed it and retracted away when I didn't. I spent some time researching what I wanted. So I pretty much got down and told Sunsetter what I wanted. They explained everything thoroughly to me. Then we went forward with ordering my covering. It went very smoothly. David was great. He called me beforehand to schedule a time to come out. The installers were right on time and got right to work. They had it done in a few hours. It was up and working.

    David explained everything thoroughly how to use the remote and how to contact them if I had any issues. They cleaned everything up and put everything back before they left. I got the motorized awning and I like the fact that I can choose to have it go all the way out or stop at a certain point and not stretch it all the way out. I love having the LED lighting. I'm really glad I went with the wind sensor also. When we didn't roll it back in and we got up in the morning, it was in.

    I wanted some shade on the back patio instead of using an umbrella. I went with SunSetter and when I went online, they said to find a dealer near me. I checked the dealer in Longmont. Tom was our guy from TCS Solutions and he brought out fabric samples and pictures and how it would look. It came with a motor. Everything was fine with getting the awning ordered. He told us it would take about six to eight weeks because they make them. That was all fine. When we never heard from him, we contacted him and he said, "Yes, I just did look into it. It is in Denver. The freight company needs to call you and deliver it to your house, then you call me I'll come and install it."

    Another week or so went by and nobody called. I called SunSetter and they looked into it. They said it was in Denver. After another day or so, the freight company called and we arranged for delivery. The awning was delivered two weeks ago. Tom cancelled the first schedule because he had to have a medical procedure done. He started not calling me back. It was all great when Tom was out here selling us everything. But he wouldn't call back and I would call and call. He said we were too anxious. We spent $4,200 on this. We didn't want it sitting in our garage for two weeks.

    We had a little bit of snow on Tuesday but it wasn't very much. I told Tom, "Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are going to be beautiful. I want it up by Easter," He said, "I'll try. I can't control the weather, and I can't control the fact that now I have colon cancer." I asked SunSetter, "Is there another dealer you can put me in touch with?" I talked to a lady and she said, "If you don't get it up this week, we will put you in touch with another dealer." But we still owed Tom money because we paid half down and the other half was due upon completion.

    I started having my husband call Tom because he would always return his phone calls but not mine. Finally, he spoke to my husband and said he could install the awning. We ordered this awning on February 14th and the installation got completed Wednesday. I really don't want to ever have to deal with this dealer again. He said, "If you have any questions, any problems you call me." But I want to try to find someone else if there's any warranty work.

    So far, the awning is good. This patio faces north so when the sun goes down in the evening, we still get the sun coming in on the west side. It goes down past the house across from us and then it's blocked. Tom told us that there is a screen that you can have hanging down from the side. That is another option. I was gonna go to SunSetter's website and see about that. Tom said the screen has to be taken off and put on every time because you can't roll up the awning with that screen on. That's a little tedious so I'm gonna see how it is without the screen. All in all, everything was fine, except for the freight company and the dealer. I asked Tom if there were other people on his team and it was just him and another guy. As far as the product, we're happy with it. It rolls in well and it has a remote. It's got the hood on it too.

    I wanted something to cover up the back patio. It was a south facing patio and I wanted not only to use a whole house fan to bring cool air in. It would be nice in the summer to be able to sit out there and enjoy it rather than plot myself out in the sun. I did SunSetter Awnings and their guy Matt was really nice. He was very friendly and it seemed like he knew what he was talking about. The people who set up the awning seemed very experienced and they got it up quickly.

    I was fortunate because two days before, the installers said that they were setting up awnings in the snow. But the day that they came out and put up mine was a sunny day. They gave me a telephone call 20 minutes before they were coming on out. It looks like they did a good job and I was very satisfied. I've had the awning for three weeks now and I put it in and out one or two times. The quality seems to be really good. I would recommend SunSetter to a friend who is contemplating putting one in his own home.

    My wife picked out the colors when the rep came over and gave us the estimate. We ordered the awning, and then the installers came few days later when the order showed up. It took them about an hour and a half to put it up. There were about four guys because it's a pretty heavy unit. They showed me how to use it. Then I paid and thanked them, and they went on their way. Sunsetter was very adept with what they were doing, and very quick to respond. They were very pleasant to work with.

    So far, the awning is okay. When it's halfway out, it covers some deck chairs. When it rains, it will collect water in a pocket on one side of it. It literally fills the pocket up to where it gets quite deep and I have to take a broom and push it up for the water to spill out. It's only on one side that collects water like that. The other side drains off just fine. I could call the local company back and see if they could come out and adjust it so that doesn't happen.

    The SunSetter awning is great. The guys did a good job to put it up. They left the cover for the end for the winter and I had installed it myself, which is a pain in the neck to do. With the way it looks, it is really not even worth putting up. I can't believe they don't have something better. I thought it was simpler. I took it out of the package and it was a couple of hours ordeal to put up and I wasn't happy with it. There are these clips that go on to it that you're supposed to tie around it somehow to hold it. There's no way in the world that these clips would hold this cover on it for the winter. It's impossible. Other than that, I like the awning. I tell others to get it.

We put it out a couple of times to try it and we really like it but we have had horrible weather, so we really hadn't been able to use it. It's gonna be really nice once we’d be able to use it. We're going to use it because we have a bi-level house, and when they built it, they made a mess, and whenever it rained, the water came into the basement. So, we put a patio all the way across on the upper level and fixed it up. We spend a lot of time up there because we're not young anymore and sometimes sick, and it's been very nice for us to sit. We used to have one of these canopies but they only last about a year or two and then it fell apart. So, we decided on the SunSetter.

Then I had it installed within a couple of weeks. It was very fast. The installers were great guys. It was super cold outside when they did the installation. So they weren't able to completely finish because the cables and the wires were so stiff because they were frozen. They couldn't do anything more with them.

    The awning is installed and it works, but they weren't happy with the way it looks. So they said, “Give us a call in April when it warms up. And we'll come out and we'll clean it all up for you.” It's all connected right, but the cables are showing. So they're going to come back out and clean it up for us. But I like the awning a lot.

    These folks over at SunSetter have absolutely no idea what they're doing. They called me several times in a row from someone's cell phone (a 413#) at 6:30pm on a Friday to say there's a problem with my credit card. Well, not giving that info over the phone to some random guy just because he's from SunSetter. I explain that I'll re-place the order tomorrow with a different card, he says ok. I do that. Original order status still says "Call" so, we should be good, right? Nope. They then (as I understand it) process both orders... despite never receiving updated card info for the first order and not that anyone reached out and told me they were going to re-attempt the card charge.

    I call ASAP and am told by a snarky supervisor that he's "looking forward to canceling my orders" and that it will be taken care of the same day. Instead of that happening THEY SHIPPED THE AWNING. I call AGAIN and get told no supervisor is available to speak to me (surprise, surprise) and there's nothing else support can do... I mean, what did they do in the first place? The way I finally got this resolved was by PAYING for executive email addresses and reaching out to them directly. This is not the way to treat customers, SunSetter.

    We apologize for the confusion and frustration with your orders and agree the original order was missed in being cancelled when originally requested.

    This was a misunderstanding as multiple orders were in play and the second order was cancelled, but not the first.

    2 charges were made as the customer placed two orders (5 days apart) on the SunSetter website.

    Within hours of the report directly to SunSetter, the return was rectified.

    All calls and communication are made directly from SunSetter agents, no cell phones are used.

    The sales rep was excellent. He gave me all the information I needed and explained why I should have this and why I shouldn't have this. So, I was very happy. The team who dd the installation was very good. They went through all these details with me and we went through the settings to make sure they were what I wanted. It worked out fine. I had an issue with the sensor going off by the wind and I was able to get ahold of SunSetter. Apparently, when I tried to adjust the awning, I had to be on sensor one. I had all the sensors split up. So, all I had to do was hold it. The rep did it right over the phone with me, so it was very easy.

The gentleman who is a franchisee came with the book and we got to pick. Everything was legit. They didn't seem to have a lot of choices of colors that I wanted though.

    The sales representative was wonderful. But the lady in the office who claimed she's the office manager was terrible. She was very flip. I even told the guys when they came to install the awning that if I had met her first, I wouldn't have done it with Sunsetter. But the installers were very nice and they did a really good job. I'm happy with the product. I love it. It looks good. As far as I'm concerned, it's the prettiest one in the neighborhood.

    I called and asked the office manager if I could get in touch with the salesman because I had a couple of questions about when it was gonna be installed. Because I don't live here. I just come once in a while. I wanted somebody to work with me and the salesman had promised me that he would, and that he would let it come to the office and he would make sure it got out here. If I wasn't gonna be here that he would accept it for me and have it put in and I would just pay him right then or work out a deal with the check. But the whole thing wasn't fun. I recommend the product, but I would not recommend Sunsetter. The other thing is they have a religious thing on the website. When you call the number, they ask you if you belong to a prayer group. I'm very religious too, but that was kind of strange for business.

    I moved here to the Tampa area a year and a half ago. In my old house that I came from in Vero Beach, I bought one of SunSetter 10 years ago back in 2010. I loved it then. I had to leave it there because it was attached to the house. When I moved here, the people who were here before me had left a gazebo. Then in one storm, the whole thing got ripped apart. I took it down and I really needed the shade. I just put it up again. I got a new one. The only thing was it was about $1,800 more than I paid the first time. Things went up, so I had no choice. I bought the one that came out 13 feet so it covers the whole entire patio. It also has a remote control which use to open and close it. You could stop it halfway. It also had lights, which I really like. You can put it dim. It also has a wind sensor. If it gets windy all of a sudden and it bounces a couple of times, it will automatically close.

    We looked into SunSetter Awnings, and we talked with someone on the phone. Sunsetter scheduled someone to come out. And we went through the process of what and how to do it. We decided that it was something we wanted to do. So, we contracted with them. The first time we had two awnings, because the way the deck was made, we had two. They were side by side. We couldn't get one that was big enough to stretch the whole length that we wanted plus one needed to come out further than the other. There were some differences in the way that the deck was designed. And we saw a color that we like. It was a stripe color and it was automatic. We had covers for it for the winter. And it was easy to manipulate.

    We had a little issue with the motor, but that was just wear and tear. We got that straightened out. But it started to get old. And the color with the sun and everything had faded it some. We redid the deck this year. We wanted to update it with a more vibrant color that fit more with the decor that we chose to do this past year. And we decided we did we only wanted a portion of the deck covered because of the changes we made. So, we just got one this last time. Depending on where the sun is and where we are or what we're doing out there, that's when we let the awning out. The sun's hot, but when you put it down, it makes a tremendous difference.

    When I started researching SunSetter Awnings, they came up and there was a location close to me that they were able to send somebody out and take care of us. What I like is that the rep wasn't pushy. He just gave us the information and let us make the decision. He was friendly and knowledgeable. He had a book that showed all the different options and colors. He covered what was available. It was a good experience. After the installer was done, he visited with us on our deck and he was very friendly and interactive. We liked him.

    SunSetter had attachments so you could add a wall that slides on. We got that. When the sun starts to go down, the sun gets in under the awning. There's no getting around it. So, it's almost like hanging a sheet on one side of it to keep that sun out. But it attaches to the awning so we can put that up if we want to avoid the sun coming in. It seems like a good quality. The times we've used it, it was good.

    I wish I got that sensor that causes it to close up when the wind gets strong because we've noticed if the wind kicks up, the awning can blow. There's a remote that they gave us that we use and we just press the button and it closes it up. But there is a crank that comes with it if you ever have to crank it if there was a problem with the remote.

    The awning has made it more comfortable for me to sit outside on my deck. We were sitting on our deck in the evening, just relaxing, and we didn't have the sun in our eyes. It also helps to keep our house cooler because the sun beats in. It comes through the windows, it heats up the house, and we have to close their blinds, which I don't like to do because it darkens the house. So, this way, my blinds open, keeps some daylight coming in the house without heating it up too much.

    We had a SunSetter awning in our prior house in New Jersey and on my rental home down here in Florida. Then, I called them again because I wanted two awnings at our main home here. One over the garage and one over my table under my birdcage. I wanted the one from the garage to go out into the driveway so when the car is outside, it's not under the sun. It's under the the awning which keeps the car cool. The guys from SunSetter came and measured. They came when they said they would, then they got the awnings up.

    But the one over the garage sunk a little bit and I had them come back three months later. The woman I talked to was giving me a hard time because she wanted to charge me $150 for them to come out but I told her that I've only had it for three months. And I didn't even put the awning out much because it was raining and we weren't in the pool. The awning is 19 feet wide and after a while, it sinks because it's heavy when they first put it in. So the guy has to come back and make it tighter. He also said that they're having trouble with a lot of the big awnings sinking. But once he comes and refixes it, it's fine. We shouldn't have to pay $150 for him to come out to do that though. Finally, the woman and I agreed that I would just tip them when they came to change the awning. Other than that, if it's too windy, that awning automatically retracts.

    As for the smaller one, it's12 foot wide and when it's windy, it automatically retracts, too. We have a pool area that's under a birdcage, so it's right over the glass sliding door and it goes out over the six-person table that we have outside. We use the awning all the time during the day and the sun is beating down. We use it when we sit out, read magazines at the table, and eat lunch. It's nice and it keeps the sun off of you.

    The sales rep sounded like he knew what was going on and was very helpful. We went in the back patio and talked about a few things. He gave suggestions. We looked at fabric and materials and that was how we decided. We were looking for something that could be rolled out. We have storms every once in a while and high winds and we wanted something that could handle that.

    The installation was quick. It was done very professionally and they looked like they had done this many times. The awning we got has electric motor, a remote, and the hand crank. The fabric seems very heavy-duty. I like the awning because I can also adjust the pitch of it. You can tilt the fabric down or up or straight. You could adjust how low you want it from the end. It's a rough mount. Waiting for the product to get here seemed a little long though. Also, we received a lot of emails from SunSetter, sometimes too many. This was after it was sold to us.

    I have two SunSetter awnings. One is in Colorado, and another is in Phoenix. The one in Colorado was perfect. It was the same person who sold it and installed it. In Phoenix, it was mounted on a beam, which we knew. There was a salesperson and then a different installer, and neither one of them mentioned that the screws that they were gonna put into the beam were a little bit longer than the thickness of the beam. The sales guy probably knew that but maybe he didn't bother to check. The installer came and he put it up. He made eight holes in the beam, so the wood splintered. Then he told me that and then left. We didn't see it until after he left. When we called him to mention it to him, he said, “Well, I showed your husband,” which was an out-and-out lie. He did not show my husband. Then he mentioned that the sales guy should have told us that the screws were longer.

    When I called the sales guy, he said, “Well, the installer should have mentioned it or something.” So, then the installer said he would pay me to have our painter come and kinda repair the spot. He never did. I sent him the $60 to come and repair the spot. There was really nothing. So, I emailed, I texted him and I said, “You said you were gonna pay me. Here’s what he charged.” I had never heard another word from him. Other than that, I'm very satisfied with the awning itself.

I like the awning that I recently bought and what's even more important is that my homeowners association likes it. I'm also going to go and have another one put on.

    I bought my first awning in 2004, and I never had any cover on the driveway. I had to get a second one, so I went back to SunSetter. They have good quality material. However, the people that were supposed to deliver had a truck and couldn't get up into my door. I had to go down there and pick it up, and they owe me something for that. These people weren't UPS. Somebody else took over the company, and it's lousy. The installation cost me a lot of money as well 'cause SunSetter doesn't have anybody up in my area that does the work.

    The way my house is set up, I use the awning in the summertime more than I do in the wintertime. Like now, the sun is sitting in the wrong place and my awning just covers enough area for me to sit on. The day's temperature right now is about 70 degrees, and I'm sitting outside in an awning. It ain't got nothing to do with the awning. I bought an 8-footer and that was too small. I bought this 10-footer, and it's working out perfect. The awning I selected this time is a different type of cloth compared to the original. It seems a little thicker than the other one, and so far, it looks good. I like it.

But that's fine and they had a lot of different colors so I picked what I liked. The installer was okay but he was young and he did not put the awning up the right way. There were screws missing. Also, the tech was turning one of the screws so tightly and my husband, who was sitting on the patio said, "He's going to strip that screw. Watch what happens." No sooner did my husband say that and all of a sudden, the whole thing snapped.

    My husband called them back and they said, "Okay, we'll come back and we'll fix it". We were waiting and waiting and waiting and they never came back. My husband is handy and he had screws that would fit the awning. So, he just put in his own screws and fixed it himself.

    The SunSetter sales lady and the first installation team were very good. Somehow, when they got here to install it the first time, it was the wrong awning. We had it set up to get installed just before Labor Day. On Labor Day weekend, we were having an open house for my wife's birthday. They installed it and I said, “Now, wait a minute. This isn't the right thing.” So, they called back the installation team, and I had a very good experience with them. They were really friendly and really good guys to work with.

    They called back to the factory and they said, “Okay. Well, we're gonna have to take this down and return and put the proper one up.” I said, “Now, wait a minute. We've got it planned for a weekend gathering here.” So, they finally did give permission to the crew to be able to leave it up, which was very good because it was like three weeks before they got back. The second installation crew wasn't very friendly at all. It was like all business.

    We got a shade to the west that I could crank down and get additional shading later in the evening. What they did was they threw in an additional shade to the south at no charge to me but when the new one was delivered, I said, “Well, what about the shade to the south?” They said that was not written down on the paperwork so it was never ordered. So, the ordering process seemed to be something less than ideal.

    Tom was a great guy. His people did a wonderful job. He came and checked it himself a couple of times. The installation went well. But I have some major suggestions on installations. If you're going to run the electric down to the plug, I'd put that in some kind of plastic conduit to make it look neater. Even with your plastic connector above the awning, I would put that in a plastic container to protect it more and make it look better.

    With the electric lines running across the awning, I'd run them inside of the beam instead of strapping them to the beam. It’d just make it all look so much more professional. Because I went and did it myself, and now it looks ten times better. Otherwise, here you have this beautiful awning, and there's nothing worse than seeing electric lines. Above the awning is where all the connections are made and that ought to be put in a plastic cover, too, which I did myself. It would also help protect the connections better. I know they're supposed to be waterproof, but being in it, it'll even be more protected, especially when you're building these homes in hurricane zones. But the awning works nice.

He was more than happy to appease me with anything I had. The installation went great. His guys came out, put up the SunSetter, and cleaned up the debris, the old shingles, and all that stuff. I was extremely happy. The quality of the awning looks good and everything was wonderful.

    SunSetter’s customer service was very good. I spoke with them and they referred me to the local vendor who then, in turn, sold and installed the unit for me. Everything worked out well.

    SunSetter gave me different options for color and material. The installation took the tech a few hours. But they were neat and they picked everything up. They did the install in like a timeline that I could do because I was off of work, and I had to go back to work. They were able to manage to get it done when I was able to be home which I liked.

    I paid $9K for a platinum 14 x 11'8" motive denim 4895 with wallmount, wind sensor, weather sensor and phone app. After 2 days, the phone app didn't work. Later, the rain sensor that was supposed to retract the awning, didn't work. When the sun came out, the awning didn't expand. The tiniest breeze caused the wind sensor to retract the awning. In short, nothing works as promised in the contract. I have complained to the main company and local company but all they do is send a link for me to troubleshoot these problems myself. No support, no guarantee of the product. The material is nice, the color is quite lovely - but getting it to operate is nil - as is the customer service.

    It's a nice awning. SunSetter is expensive, but they're worth it, especially for my wife and I because we're up in years now. The electric motor can be retracted or extended. But whenever they sell a SunSetter, they should check to make sure there's a plug-in to be able to plug it in. I had a 100-foot extension cord there and the installer picked it up and plugged in the awning there. That's very dangerous to have that extension cord with that on there. It's not very good. Either the person that sold the awning to me or the installer should have said something to me. So I had to have an electrician come out and put an extra plug-in there where the SunSetter thing could be plugged in closer.

    The SunSetter representative was very good at all the suggestions that he made when we were looking at the awning. He told us a set time and a date, and everything went smoothly. The installers were great and installed it within a short time. It was good work. They know what they're doing. Having the awning gives us more shade in the afternoon when it's particularly hot. It cools the birdcage down. So all in all, it's very nice.

    We have a screened-in porch with a side that was sunnier where I had outside furniture. It was too hot to sit. I wanted to check the SunSetter awning so I called and got a nice woman. The awning is fine. But it took forever to get it because of some snafu in the electronics of things. It was on a truck that it wasn't on. Initially, it showed to be in Manchester. It took two weeks for them to locate it somewhere else. And that was only through a phone call because a poor woman wanted to know how come in her truck was something that she didn't have paperwork for. It wasn't what I expected as a happy experience.

    The other thing is they didn't explain to somebody who doesn't realize you need to check and see exactly where your sun is before you get one of these things. The location that you're putting the awning in for the sun has got a big impact on how it's gonna work to be productive for you. I spent $2,500 to purchase the awning and another $1,200 to have it installed. Basically, it's worthless. I get an hour of SunSetter shade. And because of the way the sun goes around the cottage and starts to set, the sun is pouring in on the angle on the side.

    I had to get the 8-foot one because of the location that it's in. I couldn't get anything any wider. But that wouldn't have done the trick. The location of where the sun is that when it comes around to the front of the cottage, it just goes right in. The seat that I wanna sit in is covered a little bit. But as it goes around to the side where the side is, where the arms are, that just pours right in all afternoon. I get zero benefits from the SunSetter.

    Next summer, what I can do is get some type of material. We have the New England Cloth Company that's really got everything known to man. I can get something very similar that I can attach to the scalloped-in that will drop the curtain down some way and that will give me some help. But as far as the right-hand side where the sun comes pouring in, I gotta get a little bit more creative. Maybe I could use the same material that wouldn't cut the wind. All in all, I love the awning. But they should be really clear about the location of the sun so the customer doesn't get stuck like I did.

    The guy in SunSetter, Erie, was very responsive to texts and phone calls. He met my wife to sign the contract when I wasn't available. He kept the order moving. Everything went great. SunSetter's lead times were three times better than anybody else.

    We had one of these SunSetter awnings in our old house. The other one was 11 feet. This one is 14 or 15 feet. We took the higher grade of material and bought the lights and wind sensor with it. It also has the motor with it and the remote. It's a good product, but it's way expensive. It's hard to budget something that you're only going to use five months at a year that's gonna hang on the outside of your house. Based on from when we bought the last one to when we bought this one, the price has jumped significantly. And because of that, we were against the wall whether or not we would go ahead with it. We paid 3,800 for the last one we bought. And granted, this was three feet longer. I couldn't see three feet jumping the price by almost 4,000. But we paid over $7,000 for this. Our son was looking at doing something similar until he found out what we paid for this thing and he went with lawn umbrellas.

    The reps were good, even the people from the office. They relocated, but we used the same outfit that did it the last time and they were timely. There was a problem when the awning was delivered. It was a wind sensor wasn't with it and the technician didn't realize that until he got to the house. But they came back immediately the next day and attached it. They were very nice people to deal with.

    The purchase was really easy. The installer was really cooperative and kept me posted on the timeline. I went with SunSetter because of the quality and the fact that there were the Sunbrella materials. I really like the color choices. The only thing that was negative was that when it arrived, there was some kind of scuffs, almost like dents, in the piece that holds the awning. But the installer came back, and he did some kind of a repair to it. So, it was fine. I like the wind guard feature where it just pops back because we live in a windy place. I really like the way the awning looks and the coverage. I like the motor. I'm very happy with it.
