    My husband had seen SunSetter on Ripley and he stopped there to see what they were like. The gentleman was so nice and came right out the next day. He got the awning put in when he said he would. They had to order it. At first, we didn't realize it was going to cost so much. But it didn't matter. We made the decision and we haven't regretted it.

    We live up on top of the hill, so we get a lot of wind. We were out there one day and the awning came right up on its own. The guys put it out and took some of the sidings off. They put it right back and it looked like it had never been touched. They did a beautiful job. We love our awning. We sit out there every day that we can because it's been so blasted hot. Everybody comes by and tells us how nice it is. If anybody's interested, I'd recommend SunSetter. We're really happy with it.

    The sales lady that I dealt with in the beginning was a nightmare but it all worked out. I got a motorized SunSetter awning and the quality is very good. The installation crew was wonderful. I recommended SunSetter to someone else and will tell anyone about the company. Keep up the good work. From buying this house and all the money we spent, the awning was the only money I justify.

    I called SunSetter, got some information, and set up the appointment for the guys to come out. Then they measured everything and it worked out great. I liked their company's name and their power awning. I also like the guarantees that were involved with it. The sales guy was very nice, professional, and personable. He offered and talked to me about the many different options and we took time to find the colors that I wanted. He did what he needed to do and was gone within a reasonable length of time. I got a little bit of tan and navy in my awning. I found the right colors through the swatches that he had and he took the time to hold them up against the gray brick of my house and helped me make a good decision.

    I got the automated awning and its color blends in very well with my gray walls and white. I love it and the only bells and whistle I bought was the power. It comes with lights and everything with it, too. But I chose to only have the power where I can open and close it easily, then I have the rod in the event there's a power failure and if I need to get it pulled in, I can do that quickly. I've sent information about SunSetter to my sister-in-law for her to look at. I also sent her the information of the people that did mine and told her to call that number because there was a $450 off coupon on the email I got.

    I liked the quality and some features of SunSetter and so I got the motorized this time. I just keep it open all the time, but if there are high winds, it automatically closes itself. I love sitting outside, but I don't love the sun hitting down on me, so it's just nice to have the patio covered.

    SunSetter's reps were pleasant and they got me in touch with the gentleman who put the awning up. They made sure to get him my information, and then he contacted me in a timely manner. I ordered it in June. He put it up on the 17th of August. When he came to see me to let me look at the brochure, talk to me and do the measurements, I was flipping through the book and I said I wanted something that would pop because it would bring out the fact that the side of the house is light-colored. So, I got the emerald. It has the white and the thin white, thin green, and a thin beige.

    The sun is on my side of the neighborhood I live in. I let the awning out and it helps keep the house cozy and cool so that the sunlight wouldn't come in from that patio door and windows. It helps even in the inside of the house. I love it. I'm happy about the money that I spent in it because anything that I am going to get there, if I consider good quality that would last a long time, I have to just say to myself, "Okay, I'm going to spend this amount of money."

    SunSetter's sales rep who came to the house was fine but we got a little confused towards the end while we were waiting for our awning to come in. At one point, the day that we were supposed to get the arrival, they said we didn't have an order and we were not on their records. So, we got a telephone number for the representative and he was having medical concerns, but he had the owner get back to us and we were told that we had an order and it was going to be delivered the following day. Then, we had the delivery the next day. The installers were awesome and they came immediately at the time they said they were going to come. They did it in an hour. We got the motorized awning and I like it. But I didn't notice it when they first showed us that when you press the remote, it makes a large click sound like it's lifting and the fixture is releasing itself. So, it scared us a little bit, but we're used to it now.

    Other than that, we thought the price was high and there was a little confusion in that too. I was not sure if we got the complete definition but they said we were going to have a cover and we opted out for the plastic cover that came with it. We opted for the more expensive cover for the winterized. But when they left, we told them that there was no cover on it and asked how do we cover it up for the winter. They said that was it and that we didn't need to cover it. So, we paid 450 extra for what we thought was the way it's opened in the summer. But in the winter, I'm not sure. We're going to have to experience it. I also have to go over and see my neighbors' to see if theirs is the same. But they didn't think they bought or paid extra money for the cover, so we're not sure about this.

    Respectful young men came by and put in our awning. It looks good and we appreciate all that. The only thing was there was an advertisement that said I would receive a cup. I called four times about it and was told different things. The first rep didn't seem to know too much about it but would put it on. On the second call, I was told the cup was on its way. That was two weeks after I made the appointment and paid money. On the next call, I was told it was in the mail. I called this week again and was told to call the company. That aside, SunSetter is very helpful and understanding. I enjoyed talking to the people. I like everything about the awning because it's shady. It's much cleaner. I would recommend it to people.

    The rep told me they were going to put the awning on the patio enclosure. But when the installers came, they had to put it the other way. So the rep should have been a little more knowledgeable about that. Also, I am still waiting for them to get me the windshield, which they were supposed to get in the beginning. I also ordered a side panel that I don't have yet. But I like the awning. The installation went all right after much to do about it going the wrong direction.

    We’re enjoying the SunSetter awning and it lives up to everything that we thought it was gonna be. The awning fits the entire dimension of the top level of our deck and it had the drop-down curtain, which keeps us in the shade if we want to be on it no matter what time of day it is. We talked with the installer about different things and he came out and looked at it before. He was highly recommended and we went with him. He had a little bit of a discount on it and he came and installed it.

    I've been doing independent contractor work for years so I know that sometimes things doesn't go right. Also, we had a little bit of a deal when he first put it up. It didn't get a solid flush against the soffit and then it would roll up crooked. But he came back and fixed it like it should be. He made another hole in the middle of the bracket and then lag screwed that hole because he couldn't find enough dimension on the rafter pieces to get it to hold tight with the screw holes that were with the brackets that came with it. He resolved it perfectly and then, he came out about a week later and got the lights, and got them installed.

    So far, our SunSetter awning is pretty good. I got shade when I want it. I can roll it out and have some back in the house if I want to. I sit out here on the deck and not burn up. The installers like were very businesslike. They did a fine job. SunSetter's price is pretty decent. It’s a lot less than trying to build one at the house. Quality seems to be good. I have some lights hanging off the end of it that I'm still waiting on. The guy that sold it to me from Shade for Less said he’d get a man and put them on.

    We're happy with our SunSetter awning. We liked the gentleman who came out and talked to us about it and then set us up with it. So far, the quality is so good. We need to operate it more. We need to get through, not only the end of the summer, but I want to get through it being retracted. In the winter, we get a little snow. So, those are the things that I'm looking for as a former contractor myself.

    I would have liked to have been informed that the Pro Series that comes down in the front was manually operated. I was not aware that that was a little hand crank. They gave me the tool, which is fine but I thought if I hit another button on the remote, that would be power-operated instead of hand-cranked. I was a little disappointed with that.

I'm gonna get rid of them. They're too big and ugly for me. But the color matches the house fine and it's okay.

    As far as installation, I really enjoyed having it as a family thing because the installer and her brother installed. I like to support family organizations. So, I appreciated that.

    I had a team from here in Beckley for the installation. They came in here at about 8 o'clock in the morning. I've got a 20-foot system and this big, long thing was laying on my front porch. They picked that thing up and brought it out here. At about 1 o'clock that afternoon, they handed me the papers and talked to me a little bit with it. The awning is doing well. I read a lot of the thing and I'm getting it better but I'm going to call one of SunSetter's people here pretty soon as I've got some questions.

    My wife learned the hard way that when you leave it out in a bad rain and it fills up with water, and you open the door to that and push that button, then it starts coming forward. The tricky thing about it is it doesn't come stark out of the thing. It goes clear up to the top and it's almost like being in a big lake. But it's a tough thing. I walked out here one morning, and it didn’t have one big thing of water right in the middle. It had one on the left, one on the right, and one in the middle. At least it tried to go up 'cause we've got the system on it where when it rains, it will shut, and when it quits, it opens. It kinda got twisted into three pieces. But it didn’t hurt it and it works fine now. We've also got three cats, and we try to keep it up as long as we can because two of them likes to sleep out there. We’re tickled for it, laying out there in the deck, sitting in the deck. The air comes through the awning and it does give you 20 degrees less heat under it. We're very happy with it.

The biggest thing that was an irritation for me was that the pricing that's advertised is not available for the product. It's more like a get you in the door, and then you pay 30% more to buy it. I also haven't been able to get the device installed and I don't have an install date. The people are nice. I just can't to get in touch with them. They call me and leave messages and I call them back then I hear back from them a week later. I don't have time to call them every day. From my understanding, the device is in their warehouse and they're waiting to come over, install it and get paid on it. I know other people that have a SunSetter, and the product speaks for itself. It's great. You just got to be educated on the pricing and figure out who can sell it at the pricing that's advertised if anybody can.

    A neighbor had a SunSetter awning and I bought my daughter one six years ago, and it worked out all right for them. My neighbor's had his for 30 years. My daughter has had hers about six years. And I needed it. It has been proven that it works. The rep came out and they didn't have the color I wanted in the five-year warranty, but they had it in the 10-year warranty. After I already signed the contract, he said, “No problem. We'll put that one up and it will be a 10-year warranty instead of the five.” I said, “Hey, fantastic. That's great.” The two guys who came installed the awning within an hour. It didn't take up my time, even though I'm just hanging around watching. But they said they would be here at a certain time, they were.

    The awning does drop the temperature 20 degrees. On my deck, I'm facing south, and it gets hot out there. That awning works. And it's efficient. You can take it in and take it out. And the wind was blowing the other day and I got the sensor on it, and I was gone, I came back, and the awning was in. That wind sensor works and it's a good thing to have there, too. I couldn't be more satisfied with it. So far, it has proven everything that I wanted and what SunSetter said it would be.

    I just had it open now and it just rained. But I only had it half open, so I had to let it dry off before I roll it up. That's not a concern, but it's something that you should do. If you don't, it will mold. I know it will mold when it gets wet if you had it rolled up. Because my neighbor's is about 30 years and his is molding a bit on the front cover. I asked the guy then, too, because the neighbor asked me to ask SunSetter how much it would cost just to get the awning replaced. It's around $1,500. I said, “Well, that seems pretty high, but I'll tell him anyway.” When I told him, he said that he didn't think he paid for it that much when he bought it new. I said, “Well, 30 years ago, you probably didn't.” I'm very satisfied with it. But the price is high. And most people probably won't get it because of that price. That's the only negative thing. That's a lot of money to invest in something like that that most people aren't sure of. If it was a bit cheaper, I'm sure more people would get one.

    The experience with the SunSetter sales team was very good and simple. The installers were very nice and they explained everything to me. The awning is great and I use it almost every day if I can, when it’s not raining. But the awning is very sensitive to the wind. The wind isn't very strong and it's not like I'm getting a thunderstorm but the thing rolls back by itself. The second day that I used it after the installers left, it kept rolling back on me. I don't know whether there is a setting on it. It was not windy enough that it would roll an awning back. The only other thing is that if I had to roll it back mechanically, it would take me a good 10 minutes, especially if it was windy and it didn't roll back by itself or the electric went out on it.

    The SunSetter team was excellent, except when I called them because I've been having a slight little problem with the electronics of the awning and I wanted them to come check out the adjustments. Sometimes, it doesn't come out and stay out. Sometimes it doesn't go in and stay in. It goes in, bumps, and pops back out again. I have to do it a couple times. It's $6,000 worth of awning that we're not going to play with it.

    I called John’s phone number. He's the guy that I bought from but I couldn't get anybody to call me back. It's been since Monday and I haven't heard from anybody. I'm not happy with them not getting back to me. Other than that, everything else is fine. The people have been very polite. When they were here installing, a drill was dropped on my deck, which is only a year old, and it took a little piece at the top of my deck.

    We called SunSetter and they gave us the name and contact information for their New York City representative. They install and they're also the dealer here. We can buy the product directly from SunSetter but then we would need to go find an installer. But we thought there’d be some value to paying a little extra and going through the local rep. That rep met with us and everything went fine. We made a selection in terms of what color and size of awning we would get. She figured out what the cost would be and wrote the whole thing up.

    They also do screens and doors so we also bought a screen to go to the doorway leading out into the terrace where the awning is gonna be. She said that screen could be installed within a week. A month goes by, we still didn't have it. It was all the stories about how her installer had disappeared and she didn't know where the guy was. I finally said to her, I said, “Forget it.” I said, “Cancel the screen. Let's just go with the awning. And when the awning comes in, we'll have you install it." But we ended up with a very sizeable deposit with her because we included the screen. That ultimately was the size of the contract and I was a little concerned about that.

    We ordered the awning on May 17th and she said it would definitely be in and installed before the end of June. As we got closer to the end of June, there was no sign of the product and she kept blaming SunSetter for not shipping the product to us. Also when we ordered, I said to her, “You obviously have done this work around New York City. With apartments, you're familiar, you got to get a certificate of insurance and whatever else." She said they dealt with that all the time and they would take care of it. The day came when we made arrangements for her installer to come with the product to install it. They showed up on time but the building would not let them in because she never took care of the certificate of insurance that they require or getting approval to come in and do the project.

    So I had the super, who was pretty upset with me and he said I was supposed to make sure the installing company does this and this. I told the super that the rep told me she was taking care of it. The super told me he can't let the installers in the building so they left and took the product with them. I called the rep immediately and said, “You never did the certificate of insurance.” She goes, “Well, I need to know what format they want.” I said, “Well, if we had had this conversation on May 17th, I would have gotten it for you.” So I immediately went back to see the super, he emailed me the format that's required, I immediately emailed it over to her. That's where she has gone silent. I have left numerous phone calls, text messages, and emails for her but I haven't gotten a single response from the rep since that conversation.

    Eight days later, we still don't have the awning installed. I called my credit card company and disputed the deposit. They said they'll reach out to the vendor and maybe that will get the rep's attention. I called SunSetter and they said they would send an email to her and give her 24 to 48 hours to respond. I said, “That's ridiculous. Given the story I just told you, she should respond immediately." I hate to think I'm gonna have to start all over, but I have to go to a more reputable company than SunSetter because it's going to at least have distributors and installers they can control and make sure they deliver on their promises. If I had my best friend say they were going to hire them, here in Manhattan at least, I would say, “Don't do it. Buy from somebody else.”

    We love our SunSetter. There was a bit of a smaller size, but we went for the bigger size that incorporated the window next to the deck, so that window is shaded as well. The sales rep was a nice guy. Two other people in the condo complex were also getting an awning at the same time, so the company gave us a bit of a break, which was the deciding factor for my husband. I secretly have been wanting one for four years since we moved to our condo. I kept dropping hints and finally, it stuck. We didn't have a choice with the color because everybody’s has to be the same, but it's a neutral color that would go with anything. I like the way it unfolds too.

    We were told the motor was guaranteed for 10 years. A friend of mine had one, and she said, “I used it a lot until the motor died. And I found out how much it was to replace the motor. And then I never used it again.” It is expensive to have the motor replaced and that made me feel bad because the last 10 years went by like a blink. Apart from that, I'm thrilled with the awning.

    The installers had a little tough time because of the installation obstacles, but they worked hard to get the motorized awning up. They had to attach it through a Bedford stone wall, go through the stone blocks, and then get into something solid. We only had the awning a short time, but we like it a great deal so far.

    I ordered a SunSetter awning on 6/19/2020. When it arrived I called SunSetter customer service to get it installed. The company recommended Elegant Awning and Shade Systems LLC, Belmont, NH. The awning was installed, but the cover was defective and I had to order a replacement. The installer said he would return to install the cover. The cover arrived, I called to have it installed and they have never called me back. I called customer service and they told me they could not help me with the installer, even though SunSetter recommended them. Then the awning ripped and I called customer service and they ordered a new one, but they would not help with the installation, but told me to call Angie’s List or Installs, Inc that I will have to pay for this. SunSetter did send me a coffee mug, I guess I can offer it to the new installer maybe he will put it towards the installation of the new awning. I will never recommend SunSetter for any of their products.

    The awning was out all the time. We couldn't turn it in. The man that put it up didn't tell us that we have to keep it wound back if it's gonna rain because if it gets wet and you wind it in then, it will mildew. But we like the awning. It's a little bit smaller than our other one, but it's what the rep said we could get.

    I called SunSetter, got an appointment and the guy came out. It took about a month and a half or so to get the awning, which I understood because they gotta make it especially for you. The installer called me on a Monday then they were out on a Tuesday. It took them half a day, and it was done. We had it up on Father's Day and most of my family was here. It started raining late in the afternoon and we kept it up a good hour and a half into the rain. The rain got a little too heavy and we shut everything down then, but we stayed dry underneath it. There was a little mist coming through, but it wasn't bad. SunSetter has a more waterproof one which I did not get because I know that once it starts raining that hard, I'm not gonna be out there.

    There's also an awning that will hold up to stronger winds. If I was gonna do it again, I would spend the extra money to have the extra strong one put in so I can use it a little more often. If you have a sheltered area where there are trees and houses around you, it wouldn't make a difference, but I'm on the corner of a street, and right across at an angle from me out west is a big open cornfield. When the wind comes from the northwest, there’s nothing to block it. When it gets a little windy and I get a bit worried about losing the awning, I close our awning down. Otherwise, it works great and I love it. It was for my comfort ‘cause I’m home a lot. Being retired and being older, it comes in handy for me.

    We had an in-person meeting with a rep and that went well. The person that showed up knew the product well and explained everything to our satisfaction. He placed our order. I had a fairly long lead time for manufacturing but it was within the timeframe that the rep had told us. We had a little bit of a hiccup along the way with the installation. We were called on the date for the install and we were out of town. When asked when the next possible date would be, we were told they didn't know. We drove two and a half hours back from where we were to be here for a 9 o'clock install.

    Before we left at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I called the person and left a voicemail asking if the installation was still on. I got no answer back so we left and came home. At 8:30 that night, I got a text saying, “Looks like it's going to rain tomorrow, so we're going to do a rain check and do it on Monday.” We had planned then to go back to the location where we were on Friday then come back for the install on Monday. The installers cooperated and put the job later in the day on Monday so we didn't have to be early in the day. That situation messed up some vacation plans that we had going on. But they were very prompt very friendly. They got things installed quickly and they explained the system. Overall, it was a very positive experience.

    I had a SunSetter installed and the salesman was great. I had to call a few times to find out when it was going to be scheduled. The crew was polite and they were clean. The quality of the awning is good. It comes out of the wall and goes back in like I want it to. It's lovely and I like it. It's just we buy the extras and we think it's going to work one way and it doesn't. I got a sensor and that doesn't work. It's not was worth the value. The wind kicked up a few times and the awning did not automatically retract. The rep said it would be a 10 inch difference and the wind would have to really kick up. I have forgotten the awning out there twice and I thought the auto retract would probably retract it maybe less than 10 inches. But I ended up having to go out and retract it. I called the salesman about that. Other than that, the experience was good and I would recommend SunSetter.

    We had somebody come out and give a quote. It seems like there might be a bit of a disconnect between the corporate manufacturer and the salespeople. We got brochures in the mail separate from what the salesperson gave us and I realized that he's just like a local reseller. There was definitely some disjointedness between what he had given us and what he was sharing, and then information that we received directly from SunSetter.

    Salesperson was also a little more pushy than we would like, but it was fine. I wasn't terribly impressed with the selection of colors and patterns though. We felt like there could be more options there. We didn't move forward with the awning. There are some other options out there now that are also compelling to us, but SunSetter is definitely worth looking into. It seems like a good product.

    My husband and I picked out a SunSetter awning together. We did a 16-foot laminated one. We chose that because of the water repellency and it was a better material for what we needed it for. The delivery went well. When we opened it up and started taking it out of the box, the part that has the scallops on it looked like it rubbed on something. It had a line about three inches long that had little holes. I called SunSetter right away and told them about it. Their rep was very nice and said that she would immediately get the part ordered and replace it. We have not received the replacement yet. That was the only thing that was wrong. That aside, everything was fine. We put up the awning ourselves and everything went well. So far, we're thrilled with it.

When you purchase something, you'd like to get some feedback throughout the process to see how it is going. The people that installed the awning were great guys. But they should take a little care. We just had a new $50,000 deck put in, and they gouged the floor and scratched the rail. So I had to call the deck company to see if they could replace or fix it. SunSetter should consider using cardboard or some type of protection before they start laying the material. It's hot to walk on the deck during hot temperatures. But with the umbrella extended, we were able to stand on the deck.

The people that put up the awning just did what was in their packet as far as what they were supposed to do. This is the problem with SunSetter and not with the application.

    I was remodeling my home. I purchased an awning to just kind of give kind of a facelift on the house. I had interest in doing this for quite some time. I couldn't do it before because I was working, and now I'm recently retired. So, I decided to start remodeling my home this year. And I figured, well, let's work on the outside while it's summer out and everything, do the outside work. And then later on, I'll do the inside during the winter. I saw SunSetter's commercials and I enjoyed what I was looking at. Originally, I was going to get an awning for a deck except I have a basement door. When the guy came out, he said that there's a building code that the deck has to be six feet above the door, which means I couldn't build a deck the way it was. I built a deck going out.

    When I had the contractor come out, he explained to me and he also explained to me about the building code. That was one thing I didn't even think of. We decided to go a different way in which we did, and he did the contract. I also spoke to their office about the financing, and everything was adequate. They had to order the part. I placed the order back in April. They finally had the order come in in June. They wanted to make sure that all the pieces were in before they scheduled the installation. A part of it is because there's a lot of permit restrictions. I just followed up with them to make sure that they had the permits and everything before they came out because I have other different projects going on and I didn't want that to get held up.

    They came out Saturday. They were scheduled to come out between 12:30 and 4:30, except we had a downpour. I kind of thought that that was going to back up their schedule. What happened was I didn't get a call, and I didn't know if they were still coming out because it was 5 o'clock. I didn't get any status updates that they were still coming. I left a message with the office to have somebody call me, and I didn't hear back from anybody. So I called back my salesperson, Larry. I asked him if he could follow up on his end because I told him that I was scheduled to have an installation that day. I know because of the rain, things were backed up, but I didn't get a status update. Finally, he said, "Okay. Let me check on it. And I'll get back to you." About half an hour later, he called me back and told me that they were still coming out.

    They came out at 6 o'clock. By that time, it was sunny out. The two guys that came out were great. They checked out everything, and they did the installation. They explained to me how the awning works manually and with the remote control. They did a great job putting it up and explaining how it worked. Overall, the follow-up should have been better. Everything was proactive on my end. I didn't know what was going on, and I was at home between 12:30 and 4:00. I could have done other things on a Saturday afternoon instead of waiting. I was very disappointed that there was no follow-up if they were late or if they were coming. Other than that, everything else was good.

So it was nice that I had that immediate go-to person if I had any issues at all. I bought an awning that’s a higher-end model, which is retractable. It also has the screen in the front that we can drop down and the wind sensor.

    The guy who was in charge of the installation spent some real-time making sure that they had it lined up the way we wanted. We had one installed on our upper deck and one on our lower. So, he wanted to make sure that the upper one was directly in line with the lower one, and how we wanted. Once they started, they got right after it and got it done. Then, they showed us how to use it properly, so they did good. We use the awning any afternoon that we have sun and we also drop the front screen down once we get into the evening hours.

    SunSetter took about three or four weeks from manufacturing the awning to the point of installation. Everything's taking too long right now because of COVID. The installers came when I wasn't home because we had other plans but they installed the awning and it was fine. The awning lowers the heat out there and it looks nice. I thought that I had done quite a bit of research but I realized I hadn't because I wish that I had known that I could have had a built-in front netting thing to stop the sun. You don't know sometimes until it's extended how much you need that front piece to keep the sun. The awning faces the sun and the reps could not have known exactly how much they needed either at the time. But now, they're trying to comply with it by making one at the company. Also, the side pieces, which we ordered afterwards, could come in other colors.

We took the standard size and centered it over the back deck. The deck is small so the awning hangs over on either side, which we like. The SunSetter awning works really well.

    The installers were a little bit late getting here, but that wasn't a problem. They were fine. I had to leave for a doctor's appointment and then I came back and they got it done, although it was hot outside. I like the awning I purchased.

    The salesperson from SunSetter visited our neighbor’s house and we were already in the market to go with them. So, when they were there, we all listened together intently and doubled up on the questions. A couple of guys installed the awning and they were good. We had the deck cleared off for them and they eyeballed the job. We'd like it centered between the railings on the deck and the height as well, and they were right on to it. They were always one, two, three. There were no issues at all. The GFI outlet was already there, so it was straightforward. We also upgraded because we wanted that roll-down at the end of the awning so that when the sun gets low, it can't peek underneath. The guys were able to accommodate that. SunSetter is worth it and we're very happy with it. The quality is gonna hold up between 5 and 10 years.

    I had a great experience with the SunSetter team but not so much with the actual product. The hands of the first awning we installed came apart where it opens and closes. So, they had to order me a new one. Even the new one is not the smoothest. One of the hands doesn't close as smoothly as the other. But the installers and the company are very accommodating and wonderful people so I didn't complain again.

    The sales representative, Ken, did a great job of explaining the features and options of the SunSetter awning. We were able to select easily what we decided upon. He went outside and helped to sort of lay down a measurement scale and see what we would choose in terms of sizes and what made sense for our space. I made a decision based on that. He was also available and I could contact him with questions afterwards. He was very prompt in responding to my questions on a quotation and so forth. The awning provides nice shade, especially during the middle of the day when it would be otherwise difficult to be out on the deck. It's nice to be able to sit out there on a chair at the table and even eat lunch during the day outside.

    The only trouble I had was reaching someone in the office. It was a little bit concerning because I would leave messages or they might leave a message. It was a little bit difficult to follow up with someone in the office when we were expecting to hear back about the arrival of the awning or right after we heard that the awning was in. There was not enough support to spend the time to follow up on calls same day after the sale. It can be confusing and frustrating in the after-sale process trying to get understanding of what's going to happen next.

    Chris was our rep and he did what he needed to do. It was just that he was a little hard to get ahold of and he was slow to respond to questions. His company uses this answering service and there is a wall between me, the customer, and him, the seller. An easier mode of communication would have been nice.

    We bought a new house up here in Gardnerville in Nevada and we thought it would be the right thing to put an awning outside. We got ahold of SunSetter and a gentleman of Reno came out. We went through all the different options and we bought their awning. When I went online and looked at some of the reviews, it was said that there were problems with SunSetter's customer service. But the gentleman that I dealt with told me that I don't have to call customer service and to call him instead. He would take care of things. He was very helpful.

    He explained to us that we could buy the awning and install it ourselves. That would have been cheaper but I was not going to do that. The people that I was looking at on the internet had problems getting any satisfaction with customer service on their own. It's better to have somebody from SunSetter do the installation. The gentleman said that if something's wrong with the awning, I could call him.

    I got the Platinum Series awning and we love it. It's 18 feet long and the gentleman said that we shouldn't put it on the roof. It's really heavy. Our neighbor down the street bought an awning too. The gentleman installed it the same day as ours. I really like that our awning automatically closes when it gets over 25 miles an hour wind. We sit in the valley and there's a ranch behind us that's about 600 acres. We get some wind but I don't have to worry about it as the awning automatically closes.

    Our awning keeps the sun out and we can use the backyard more. We can go out on there and spend more time. Even in the wintertime, we go out and use it as long as it's not really windy out. That way, it makes our patio a lot bigger. Our awning is not the cheapest thing in the world but it's well worth it. We're probably going to buy another 12-foot awning.

    I had a very good experience with SunSetter. The reps were busy at the beginning but they set a date and they were here by that date. They accomplished everything that we talked about when we went through the contract and what we ordered. The awning was installed by professionals and they bent over backwards. There were some things we didn't like about it and they immediately corrected them on the spot. They did a very good job and we're very happy with it. We had our deck built bigger before we ordered this awning but after, we had the deck built bigger for the older awning that we had, which also was a SunSetter. This awning is a little bit bigger, fully automatic and a powered one, which is very nice. We like it a lot. The other one was an older thing, which we had to crank out and then put the legs out.

    We've been disappointed in the situation with SunSetter. We haven't even got it installed yet. First of all, it took us four weeks to even get somebody to call us back to let us know whether it was in or whether it was ready to be installed. We finally had to call somebody to find out what was going on but nobody knew what was going on. They didn't know if it was in, they didn't know even if it had been manufactured.

    My wife was talking to one of the ladies there and said, "If we don't get some satisfactory answer on this, we're just going to cancel the order. We already paid for the whole thing, and we'll just cancel the order and then contact our credit card company." The response we got from the ladies was, "Do what you got to do" and that was it.

    We finally got a call from Brian who was supposed to be the top dog there. He said, "Yes, it's in and it'll be installed on such and such a date." But then, he called us back again and said, "They sent the wrong hardware to install this, so we'll have to have it shipped to you overnight." I said, "That's fine. So, you'll get it in here then overnight and install it then tomorrow?" But then they told us that they couldn't install it the next day because they were too busy.

    Then we went on vacation and we just got back. We're still in the process of trying to set up a date for them to come out and install it. The installer was supposed to get ahold of us and we haven't heard anything from him yet. But we heard from Brian again and he said he's going to get it taken care of. But once again, we haven't heard anything. We were all excited about this but it's been one disappointment after another. As far as the customer service of SunSetter goes, it has not been a good situation.

    SunSetter contracts with private companies throughout the country. Ours was Bast Awning, and the owner of the company was great. He came out, measured, brought samples, and brought up the contract. The only negative was the length of time it took, but I've been dealing with a lot of products, and everything is taking longer than it used to before COVID.

    Our awning is electric, it extends out and there's a remote control. It's 15 feet wide and comes out 11 feet. It covers the patio off of my slider in the backyard. It's a nice-looking awning and it contracts nicely. I've showed my brother-in-law the SunSetter, and he thought it was nice as well (the remote control aspect of it and it also has the manual feature). I'm pleased with the purchase we made, and I would encourage people to talk to SunSetter.

    The one thing I wish I had looked at a little closer was the neighborhood. I wasn't as familiar with it when we moved in. It's very windy and there is a mechanism that if it gets too windy, the awning will go in on its own. The owner was very knowledgeable and explained when he did the overview with us that you wanna try to avoid that. You don't wanna keep the awning out. If the gusts of wind are too heavy, they can pull it off. If a big gust came out of the blue, it could trigger something. Most often, the safety feature would pull it in.

    The representative came out and he was very nice. I live in an active adult community, so I had to show them a piece of the awning that I was putting up. The representative gave me a little swab of it to put on the contract to give it to the HOA for them to see the pattern. He didn't give me an actual piece to keep for myself though. When the awning was brought here, it didn't look like the same one that I picked out. The pattern looked different. I called the owner and told him, and he said, "Mrs. **, that's the exact one." Also, he just said, "Mrs. **, you're gonna have to give the men the check. You can't hold those men up. They need that check to pay off." Now, I gave them $2,000 down and the balance was $1,400. They didn't act too friendly or compassionate at all. All he wanted was that check.

    I tried to get that pattern back from the HOA, and they said they got rid of it. My choices were very slim, then. I decided I would just keep what they installed since I didn't have anything to back up my word. The pattern was more a brick color red, while this one has stripes. It has a beige in it, and the brick color. That did not look like the part of the pattern that the man cut the little swab off at. The dealer should have left me a piece for myself and a piece to put on for the HOA. They could have said, "Mrs. **, this is your piece to keep. That when your delivery comes, you can match it and make sure you got the right one." They didn't do that. They're going to tell me, "Oh, Mrs. **, this is the one that you picked out." They may not have been right, but I can't prove it right now because I have no piece.

    I hope SunSetter stands behind their name and the quality of the awning. Where I bought the awning from, they said he's a SunSetter dealer and the name's supposed to be good. However, for what I paid, almost $4,000, I'm not that happy. I haven't heard from the dealer since the day they installed the awning. They could have been more concerned about my awning. I could've gotten a call back from the manager and said, "Mrs. **, how are things with your awning? How do you like your awning? I'm sorry that you don't have a piece to match it." They could have said, "Mrs. **, did you find the swab?" or "Let me send the man back out, your representative, and maybe you can look at it again and maybe it might come clear to you, seeing that you couldn't retrieve the swab that we gave you."

In a couple of hours, the awning was up. There is a difference in the color of the two because one's been up a year. Originally, they look the same, but they get weathered.
