    The pricing of SunSetter seemed unreasonable. The salesperson at Costco seemed to be overcharging by several hundred dollars—likely $500 or $600 more—compared to following through with a local dealer I found online, who provided more competitive pricing. Interestingly, this local dealer was able to offer me a larger, more comprehensive awning for the same price as the basic model Costco was offering.

    The installation process was efficient, which added to my overall satisfaction. I went for their electric model, which has been comfortable and convenient to use, especially given that my home faces south and the sun can be pretty fierce. The shade has been a game-changer, allowing us to enjoy our outdoor space so much more.

    My overall customer service experience with this specific dealer was excellent, truly worthy of a five-star rating.

    Dragging umbrellas in and out of the basement was a hassle for my husband every year, and we were looking for an easier solution. We've included the electric option with wind sensors for added convenience, and it perfectly covers the area where we usually gather outside.

    I discovered SunSetter Awnings through an advertisement in the Costco flyer and initiated the process directly through them. Their representatives came out, showcased various samples, presented clear information, and provided a quote. The entire installation process was incredibly quick, with the team arriving and completing everything within 2 to 3 hours. They also took the time to demonstrate how everything worked, including the wind sensors, and shared troubleshooting tips.

    Throughout our engagement, we dealt with a subcontracted dealer, Bowers Awning & Shades, rather than SunSetter directly. I felt the overall price was slightly high, but the quality made it worthwhile. I'd rate my experience with SunSetter Awnings a solid 5 out of 5 for customer service and quality, appreciating the professional approach and seamless process. Despite the cost, the awning has been a perfect fit for us, and we love the convenience it offers.

Saint Louis Blinds & shutters did the work and were on time for the appointment. Lighting was also installed and we really like that new idea, and is great for entertaining our family and friends.

    I approached SunSetter's desk at Costco for more information about the products and process, then they arranged for a consultation within the same week. The representative who handled our measurements and color/material selection was extremely helpful and provided great suggestions. We opted for two awnings of varying sizes, and the installation was a breeze, completed in only half a day. Moreover, SunSetter demonstrated flexibility when we had to reschedule the appointment due to our electrician’s unavailability, showing no resistance or issues. They also provided a follow-up call to ensure everything was satisfactory and took the time to walk me through how to operate the awnings. Overall, my experience with SunSetter was excellent—I’ve even shared my positive experience with a couple of friends, recommending SunSetter through Costco’s contact.

    We lost some trees and we needed shade. I was already familiar with SunSetter since I had previously utilized their services for my gutter guard, so reaching out to them for the awning was a no-brainer. The installation process for the awning was straightforward and hassle-free. The team came out, completed the setup, and everything was good from the get-go. As for the quality, it is very good and meets my needs perfectly. As someone who relies on this product every day, I've found it especially beneficial during the hot weather we've been experiencing recently. The awning is motorized, allowing me to extend or retract it with the touch of a button, providing convenience and comfort any time during the day.

    I haven't had this motorized model for too long—just since March or April—but I have seen how long-lasting these SunSetter awnings can be. My daughter has had a manual crank-type version for 15 to 20 years, and despite needing a replacement for the awning fabric, it's still in good working order. I would vouch for SunSetter Awnings and recommend it to others looking for effective outdoor shade solutions.

    I purchased SunSetter Awnings because they came highly recommended a couple of years back, and I’ve used them on 4 houses. My overall experience with them has been absolutely wonderful. The customer service stands out as exceptional—they meet me at the house and walk through everything with me, ensuring a seamless installation process.

    One of my favorite features is the remote; it's fantastic! The color schemes are also impressive, adding to the overall appeal of my house. It seems whenever family or friends visit, they’re always impressed with how beautiful the awnings make the place look.

    SunSetter Awnings seemed to have a decent history and good reviews. The price was also a significant factor in my decision. When setting up the service, the customer service was very good. I opted for a power awning, and an installation team came to set it up. They did an excellent job and the entire process was seamless.

    However, I have a gripe with the remote control. It’s confusing and I often have to reset it. For my mother, who is 85, the remote isn’t user-friendly, as it requires more than just simple operational buttons. It’s quite annoying, especially since if something goes wrong or the power goes out, it’s a hassle to get back in working order.

    Besides this, my overall experience with SunSetter has been positive, but simplifying the remote would certainly make it better.

    I mainly use the awning to block out the sun, which helps save on air conditioning costs and allows me to sit outside comfortably even on sunny days. It has performed admirably since it was installed, and I couldn't be happier with how it functions.

    We wanted a bigger patio, and we added some concrete, but it's very sunny. A neighbor across the street has a SunSetter, and a neighbor behind me has one as well. Another neighbor sells SunSetter, and after comparing prices with Costco, I found that SunSetter was competitively priced and had everything installed neatly.

    We chose a 12-foot awning with a motor and remote control, which has been functioning beautifully with no issues to date. Though I find it excellent for what it offers, the intense heat, especially when temperatures soar to 110 degrees, means I don't use it as often as I anticipated. Despite this, I would confidently rate my experience positively and would recommend it as a product.

    There were incentives and discounts through Costco that persuaded us that SunSetter Awnings was the best place to purchase. Also, we did some research on SunSetter and looked at some of the reviews. The quality seemed good and the reviews were positive. After putting in a request, a representative came to our home for a presentation which was very informative and pressure-free, leading us to sign that very evening. As Costco members, we received a $2300 shop card as part of the purchase incentive, which sweetened the deal, considering we frequently shop there.

    The installation process was seamless. When the three installers arrived, they introduced themselves, which isn't common with contractors from my previous experiences. Midway through, they encountered a need for zip ties, and fortunately, being an engineer and having remodeled my basement, I had everything they needed, so the installation continued smoothly. They kept the setup neat and tidy, and when complete, they walked me through the awning's functions and controls.

    Overall, I'm extremely happy with the awning and installation quality. The installer took his time explaining the operation and even demonstrated using and programming the control. The entire process from purchase to installation exceeded expectations. If someone is looking for a retractable awning, I would definitely recommend SunSetter, especially for Costco members who can benefit from similar incentives. The price might seem steep, especially for the largest awning they offer, but considering the quality, the $11,000 cost after the incentive felt like a great deal for everything included.

    I invested in a SunSetter awning since Costco was offering a good deal. The installation went smoothly, with the team handling everything really well.

    However, I found that the direction of the sun wasn’t aligned with the awning after it was installed in April. I realized I might have planned better for the sun's position in the hotter months, such as June, July, and August. As a result, the shade provided isn't exactly what I anticipated.

    Even though the awning is fine, I haven’t used it as much as I thought, particularly because of the unusually hot weather this year, despite initially expecting warmer seasons to allow more use. For others considering a similar purchase, I'd recommend evaluating how your awning’s position in relation to the sun will affect your outdoor comfort.

    I opted for the top-tier model from SunSetter, which comes equipped with features like built-in lights and an automated closure system that activates in high winds. It’s a well-constructed and reliable unit, and the installation was executed beautifully.

    However, I must express my disappointment with the privacy shield I ordered, which is supposed to offer privacy on one side of the deck. The shield turned out to be inflexible and does not accommodate the slant of the awning properly, making it rather ineffective at offering the privacy I specifically needed for the close proximity to our neighbors.

    Despite the quality of the awning itself, my dissatisfaction stems primarily from this privacy feature not meeting expectations, which was a vital concern when I placed my order. Nevertheless, for shading purposes, it performs well. The sun exposure is managed with the main awning, and overall, SunSetter Awnings delivers a solid product.

    Our deck is in direct sunlight from around 11 AM until sunset, making it unusable during those hours. So, we decided to purchase a SunSetter to improve our outdoor experience.

    The purchase journey was a bit bumpy, though. While the local contractor was good, the delivery through the trucking company was problematic. They lost our awning twice, and it took about seven weeks to get it delivered instead of the initially promised four weeks. The situation was resolved when someone from the trucking company found the awnings stored away in a corner. It was quite the ordeal as they had to remake mine three times.

    We chose a motorized 12 by 16 awning with stripes and a sunscreen in the front. As for the quality, it seems to be pretty solid so far. The difference it makes is significant; it transforms our evenings, allowing us to enjoy being outside instead of being stuck indoors due to the heat.

    The purchasing experience at SunSetter was seamless, and, pleasantly, the awning arrived earlier than expected. I took on the installation myself, which was manageable, but given that we chose the extended 13-foot version, it did present some challenges, especially during windy conditions.

    During the first windy day, the awning caught the breeze quicker than I anticipated, despite it not being a super strong gust. To tackle this, I devised a makeshift solution with telescoping camping poles and bungee cords, which I affixed to the railing. This setup has worked wonderfully and has eliminated concerns about the wind.

    We mostly utilize the awning to provide shade on our deck and prevent sunlight from excessively heating up the house, which has double sliding glass doors. It’s proven effective in keeping the inside cooler during sunny days. Although we encountered an issue with wind because of our proximity to a lake, it’s otherwise been a fantastic addition.

    Ordered the 10 ft manual awning through Costco and within a reasonable amount of time it arrived at my home. However, the hood did not arrive. Several phone calls to SunSetter, resulted in them sending me the hood, which took about two more weeks. The problem was with the shipping company, but SunSetter did everything to make it right for me, which I greatly appreciated, so high praise to their customer service team.

    As for the materials, top quality, very sturdy. My only complaint is with the design of the mounting brackets that have upper and lower lag bolt holes, for the wall mount. Once the awning is in place those lower lag bolts are behind the awning cross bar and can't be accessed without taking the awning back down. After a couple of storms with wind and rain it appears that a couple of lower lag bolts could use a bit of tightening, but alas, I can't get to them. Upper bolts can be accessed with the top fully extended so that's good, and they weren't loose at all. The mounting brackets should have lower bolt holes BELOW the cross bar, not behind it.

    SunSetter does recommend rolling up the awning if high wind is expected. All well and good if you are home at the time. Yesterday's storm also had severe lightening, and I was home when it hit, but I chose not to run out there with the 4 ft METAL POLE in my hands to retract the awning. Maybe the pole should be fiberglass.

    We have a very hot back deck that wasn’t as usable as we would like it to be, so we decided it was time to get an awning. Sunsetter is affiliated with Costco, and we shop at Costco all the time, so that was what pushed it over the edge for us.

    Their people are nice. They came out and delivered it right to the house. It came in a very timely manner, quicker than I actually thought it was going to. And it does what we want it to do. It has the controller.

    We installed it ourselves and it’s easy if you have enough help. I just stayed inside and watched my family through the window. It’s very heavy. You need to have a lot of people to do it, so we had grandchildren come. And with the help of all of our huge grandchildren, we were able to get it done.

We've really enjoyed it the few times we used it and we think we'll enjoy it for many years to come.

I called my oldest son who’s a carpenter, and he said I can cut the storm doors off. He told me how to do it, but I’m 80 years old and can’t do it alone. I called the installer and told him what I found out, and he said he’d be back in two weeks to straighten it out. I haven't heard from him since. Now I’m looking around for somebody that can help me do that. Other than that, I love the awning. I'm really happy with it. I'm just not too happy with the installer.

    I ordered a new awning from SunSetter Awnings to replace the one I had. They didn’t install them. I did.

    When I received the stuff, there was a missing piece and a damaged piece. I got hold of them, and they sent me the one missing piece, but then the other piece that was damaged was wrong.

    I sat on the phone with the guy and argued with him for half an hour. He kept telling me there were two pieces, and there’s not. He sent me the wrong thing, so I never did get the right piece to fix it.

    Another thing was I ordered a screen that goes with it, and it was back-ordered, with no idea when it was gonna be shipped. I ordered this in April so that I could enjoy it for the summer, so I said they should offer a discount for the inconvenience, but that went nowhere.

    My SunSetter Awnings are good. I don't use them on a patio. I needed an awning to protect the boathouse against the weather -- it's not a conventional type of usage. I bought the first one about six or eight years ago. It's power retractable. It's fine. It provides the coverage I need for that. They do what I need them to do.

    My awning got trashed and I replaced it with sunshades from SunSetter. Unfortunately, I live on the salt water, and I left the cranks in place, which I shouldn't have done, and they’ve already started to rust even though it was just installed in March, so I will be surprised if they last five years. I wasn't overly impressed with the salesperson, but he was all right. I got the sense that he didn't wanna do the job because it ended up being pretty small compared to their overall products, which I would have loved to do if my insurance company had been willing to pay for it.

    I wish we never got the awning, first, because it’s an awful lot of money. We had them out last year and they gave us a quote. This year, the quote they gave to us was $2,000 higher than what it was. When we were talking with the salesperson, we felt pressured to go ahead. We didn’t get a second opinion. My husband asked for a second quote, and the salesperson did not accept that.

    When SunSetter installed it, it was off-center. We called and complained, and they came out and realigned it to where it’s more centered over the patio. But it doesn’t give us the shade that we thought we would get. When we had a windstorm and had it out, I struggled retracting it with the button. There’s nothing wrong with the product. We’re just disappointed that it’s not doing what we thought it would do. We have a deck on the back, and we wanted an awning to go over the deck so the sun wouldn’t hit us in the evening. The only time we get any shade out there is at noontime when the sun is directly over us.

    The salesman should have known that by installing it, it was not going to do that. I would have more respect for the company if he would have been honest, but he was too interested in getting his commission. The only thing that would make me happy is if they took it down and refunded our money.

    The installation went fine, but we didn’t have an electric outlet outside, so I had to have the electrician come and put in the outlet. When they did, they left the cord hanging. I called the fellow who did the installation and he said he would come around and do it himself, but he never showed up. Just today I spoke with him and he said he’s no longer doing that. I had to call the sales rep again and he’s gonna have someone come out and take care of it for me.

My only complaint, although it was my fault, is that we put in too big of a unit. This one is 14-foot wide. I wish we had narrowed it down to 13-foot. It barely fit in there.

It’s an 18-footer upper-end model, costing 6,000 bucks. There’s a 10-year warranty and I got it through Costco. I bought a hood for it as well. I had a big problem with the product itself though, and I wasn't happy with it at all.

    I installed it myself, like the previous one 10 years ago. This one's easier because I installed it on the same wall, but a little bit lower. For any event, I got the hood, and they tell you how to slide the hood together. It wouldn't go together, though. I could tell because it was dented in a couple of spots, even though the tubing and the packaging weren't damaged. It's wrapped in paper and I could see it was torn right where it was dented. It wasn’t bad, but it wouldn't slide together as I thought it would. I put beeswax on it and used a four-pound hammer, and I'm a 200-pound weightlifter. I hammered on the end of that thing with a block of wood protecting it for probably 20 minutes, and I must have hit it 300 times. I finally got it to go in but it was awfully hard to mount because it was warped.

    We had the awning out. We were sitting and watching TV and it's literally 10 feet from us. We had it out about four feet. It was going to rain, and I wanted to see how it would do in the rain. I also put a higher pitch on it than standard, a good eight inches more, because I wanted to cover the sun quicker. Sure enough, it caught water, and I heard something like the metal in the mount broke or failed in some way. It was full of water and it was an awful mess.

    The hood was damaged and the installation was not as described. It's never been exactly right and the cloth was not right as well. It collected water and I was told not to don't dump the water out by bringing it in. I need to go out and siphon it. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of in my life. I'm gonna go out in a rainstorm and siphon the water out of the awning. I was also told they don't recommend to put the awning out in the rain. Awnings are gonna get caught in the rain all the time.

    I called and I talked to some fellow who was rude and dismissive. Eventually, I complained enough that he said they'll send a new cloth. I called a local installer, a SunSetter specialist, and he came out to see me from about an hour away. He said it was probably misstitched and it was a little longer, and I could see it. It was sagging on one side, before it ever rained or anything, from the initial install. He installed the cloth for $200. It cost me $200. That seems to be working okay, but if Sunsetter was a reasonable company, they would send me $200 for what I paid the professional who came to install the new cloth. The second time I called, I talked to a young lady who was very nice. I mentioned I had a hard time before, and she didn't say anything other than, “Thank you for the information." She knew that this other guy was bad.

    I saw the sign at Costco and decided I needed to get a SunSetter. I asked my neighbors, and they told me not to go through Costco but to go directly through SunSetter. With Costco, I’d have to measure everything myself. I can’t measure a big space or figure out the width, how far out it goes, or the angle of the awning. So, I went directly to SunSetter.

    A SunSetter awning needs a professional to install it, unless you’re already in the business or a handyman. You need correct measurements and someone with experience. Nevada has high winds, so having the wind sensor is critical. SunSetter helps and guides you on what will work and be most usable.

    The SunSetter team was great. They were very polite, courteous, and efficient. When they came, they knew what they’re doing. The measurements were good, so I was very pleased. The awning retracts automatically, which is what I like.

    We purchased a 15' SunSetter awning and cover through a major wholesale club. The delivery was on time and went smoothly. We purchased the awning based on the provided information that installers were available. Drilling into concrete siding and manhandling a 15' awning was something I was happy to pay for someone else to install. I reached out to Sunsetter and there was only one approved installer in my area. I sent three e-mails and left two voicemails to that installer. I finally received an e-mail back that they are very busy but that "I'm positive he will get back with you the moment his schedule allows for it." We never heard anything back from them.

    I contacted four other awning installers I found through Google, and none of them would install Sunsetter. So we decided to call the wholesale club and return the product. It's a shame - a $3,000 awning we were more than happy to pay someone to install was returned because the single approved installer in my area offered poor customer service.

    Costco had SunSetter on sale, and I knew they were good stuff. So, I purchased a 9-footer and an 11.5-footer shades. The enclosure was white, the shades were beige, and it had a remote control on them. The quality is excellent. The shipping containers were impressive. The housing of the shades is quite strong, and they are very easy to mount. We live on a lake and there are really strong winds, and the shades haven't been down because of the steel cables that hold them in place. But even in the winds that it has endured, it has done very well. We have neighbors that live on the other side of the lake and I think they're on their third version of their blinds.

    The main reason we got them is because our house faces mostly west, and it's 2 miles across the lake in front of us. So, in the evenings when the sun is setting and it's reflecting off the lake, it can get pretty horrendous. We have a screened-in deck, and when the sun shines on the screen fiercely, it is blinding. Also, we have a lot of glass looking out at the lake in our living room. The glare comes right through. The SunSetter shades take care of these issues very nicely, and the glare is hardly noticeable. I was happy to find them. We're getting ready to buy three more.

    I didn't have any issues with installation or with the salespeople. They did not overrepresent what the product does. It was all pretty much in black and white. And another reason I purchased from them is that everything was made in the United States.

    Up until my last experience, SunSetter was amazing. Everything worked when it came. It was really great. But I recently ordered seven EasyShades. And of the seven, one didn't have all the parts, the guide and bracket. But they did send that to me. One had a bad motor, so they sent me a motor. Which not everybody knows how to install motors. So, I wish they would have just replaced the whole thing. But they didn't.

    The customer care was difficult. The one time I called, she had me go through the steps to reset it and do all these things. And then she said she would send me the instructions to reposition the screen. I did all that. It was on a Thursday that I got the instructions. It was eight pages.

    And then when I called back the next day, she wanted me to go through all the troubleshooting again. It's too complex for me to deal with. She said she can’t help me if I was not willing to go through the troubleshooting. The problem was that I only had one extension cord.

    I didn't get any help. It took me a couple of weeks. I kept saying I want to talk to a supervisor and they said they’ll have a supervisor call me back. I did not get anyone to call me.

    Since I always had such good service from the sales department, I ended up, out of desperation, calling them. I explained my problem. She said they can't do anything. I asked her to escalate because it has been three weeks. She said she’ll have a manager call me but it did not happen.

    Finally I was fortunate to be able to talk to one. They said right up they’ll send me a new 4.5-foot shade. It was frustrating at the very least. Because I couldn't get ahold of anybody before.

    They have these newbies and they have a script. And not everything goes according to the script. And frankly, if I said I had a problem, they should have been all over it. I have bought 13 EasyShades from them altogether. So you would have thought that I was a good customer. I have to have my contractor come back, take this one down and put the new one up when I get the 4.5 foot.

    I've gotten the parts for the guide for the 12-foot. And then for the door, I received the motor. So I'm hoping that my contractor can put the motor in without any problems. It’s been a month since he came and did the initial install. Three out of seven shades that had problems is too high for a failure rate.

    They were manual. That's why I got new ones. I'm aging quickly, at the age of 84. They were trying to get me to swap out the extension cord after I've already gone through all the troubleshooting, but I couldn't. Because I had to get on a stepladder and I'm not doing stepladders anymore. And so, I had to have my granddaughter come over to do it. And the second time, she got a little testy.

    It has been pretty much a nightmare. And I really hate to say that because I love their product. While I don't like the white cords. Everything comes with this big, fat, white cord. None of their equipment is white. It's bronze or it's black or it's tan. I'm just adding that in because it's kind of a peeve of mine. I've got a redwood house. A nice, dark brown or black or something like that would be fine. I don't think everybody has a white house.

    I knew it was gonna be white when it came. So that's not a big deal. I still don't have the 4.5-foot shades. So I'm waiting to have my contractor come until I get that. I have an event on the 1st of June, which sounded way far off when we started this project. So I'm hoping that I get that last shade and that he has time to come out and get these all taken care of for me.

    I've never had a problem with anyone in the sales department but their customer support definitely needs improvement. Because they need to know what to do if they can't solve the problem.

    There was a 12-foot that didn't get the hardware. And then the one that doesn't have the working motor are on the south side. And in this time of year and in the summertime, no sun comes in on that side. So I can just leave them up and not worry too much about them.

    But the ones on the west side, they're critical. So that's why I really need to get that one. I’m hoping it will come soon. Then we'll put this all behind us.

    My contractor knew what he was doing. The one shade, he couldn't set the top stop. So that was the problem. And he'd done all of the other ones, except the one that didn't have the working motor. So he knew what he was doing by the time he got to that one. So then when I went through all these other things, I knew I was not gonna take that thing down, and pull the shade out and put it back on. That's just asking too much.

    They can cross ship. They can do whatever they want. But don't ask me to fix things that came broken. And I'm feeling that way about the one that needs the motor. And I'm hoping it goes smooth. Because if not, all hell is gonna break loose.

    Still, I would definitely recommend them. Because I'm hoping I'm kind of a one-off and things just didn't go well.

    I've already owned SunSetters for 17 years and their service has been good. I replaced the covers once. I bought their permanent cover that mounts over the top of the shade itself, and they lasted. Out of the four motorized awnings I initially bought, only one motor has given out after many years of use, which speaks volumes about their quality.

    I needed a new awning and I encountered a minor hiccup while ordering online due to some misunderstanding regarding the selections, including the warranty. After several weeks thinking the delivery should have already happened, I called and a helpful team member identified and resolved these issues efficiently, leading to the swift delivery and installation of my new awning.

    The functionality and performance of the awnings have met all my expectations. They're exactly what we needed and they work very well. Given the lasting performance, I confidently rate my experience with SunSetter a 5 out of 5. For the price, these awnings are a top choice for anyone seeking a cost-effective and functional solution in today's market.

    Our experience with the SunSetter team has been excellent. The person we dealt with recently was very competent and knowledgeable. We're preparing to receive our next awning soon, and the communication has been great. This is actually our second awning from them; the first one served us well for many years.

    We chose a standalone awning with green and beige colors. It features both automatic and manual recoil options, which is very convenient. Our previous awning performed very well, and we're replacing it mainly due to wear over time from the wind. It seemed more economical to get a new one after 12 years of use. We've been really satisfied with its performance.

    We highly recommend SunSetter Awnings to friends and have done so in the past. The awning is essential for us, especially since my husband has had melanoma, so having protection while sitting outside is crucial. We use it for reading, eating, and enjoying the outdoors once the weather is nice.

    I had a great experience with the SunSetter awning I bought 20 years ago for my home in Pennsylvania. The awning has held up remarkably well through harsh climates, including snow, ice, and rain. So, I bought one for my Florida house.

    The new awning I chose is 15 feet wide by 13 feet, with a convenient motorized function that lets me extend or retract the awning with just a push of a button. This feature is incredibly handy as it allows me to enjoy the outdoors when I want, and easily retract it afterwards. It's particularly beneficial living in Florida, where hurricanes can be an issue, as the awning tucks in securely under my gutter, preventing it from being blown away.

    The quality of the SunSetter awning is outstanding. I'm a repeat customer for a reason, and the ease of use and functionality of this product has consistently impressed me. When the awning retracts, it stows away completely. So there's nothing to obscure your view, which is an added bonus. I’ve shared my positive experience with SunSetter in the past, and their service has always been excellent.

We didn't get the wind sensor as we plan to retract it when it's windy manually, and I've heard mixed reviews about its sensitivity. Since our awning is installed under an eave, we didn't find the cover necessary.

My girlfriend in my neighborhood and her husband purchased a SunSetter awning about three years ago and I had been over several times to sit under it with her and I really liked it.

The team of two guys completed everything in less than three hours and took the time to demonstrate the features, such as opening and closing the awning, doing the lights and using the wind gauge.

    I ordered two Sunsetter awnings through Costco. I based my decision on the fact that they were associated with Costco, and some of the research that I did online indicated that they were a very reputable company. However, I am a bit disappointed. The person who came out and made the first measurements was not familiar with how the financing was arranged through Costco, and the installation process had some challenges, such as incorrect measurements for the smaller second awning and an inadequate cranking mechanism for the large awning. Although extending the awning is easy, retracting it requires significant effort. Fortunately, I can do that, but it's a workout.

    Despite these hiccups, the installation team was highly professional. They noticed the measurement error and corrected it for the upcoming installation of the second awning. My anticipation is that it will be installed tomorrow. The aesthetics have enhanced our new deck's appearance, making it very attractive. However, it's been windy here in Georgetown, Texas, so I had to retract the awning, because I'm not exactly sure how much wind it can take.

    SunSetter Awnings is an old name. Also, we moved into a new community here in Camarillo in California. One of the neighbors had SunSetter put in and told us about them. I was very impressed. We also had an issue with internal shades that we needed to do. We went to the company that we knew. It was highly recommended for the interior shades and realized that they also did retractable awnings. We saw SunSetter that was displayed in their showroom. We liked it.

    The installation was very impressive. The crew that was sent was diligent. They were one of the best teams I've seen in doing a job like that. But the interior was a different crew for the SunSetter. I got a call from one of the owners of it and told them how impressed we were with the people that they sent for both the interior and the exterior jobs that we had contracted with them. It went very smoothly.

    We had high winds here in Camarillo, most of Southern California last week. When they came, it was not too windy. The intention was to work for the entire day and to have it completed in that one day. By the early part of the afternoon, it was too windy. They had them on the wall of the house, but they did not want to extend the arms to do any of the adjustments and leveling, because the winds were too high. They had to come back a week later and a little smaller crew. They installed the light option that we ordered and wind sensors, and leveled it. It was a day and a half when they put it. We were impressed with the people that put it in.

    One of the things we like about retractable awnings is much of the week, we're not gonna extend them. Summertime, probably more often because we will have more functions out on our patio. But I like the idea because we have a nice view at the back. That means when we're inside the house, we can retract those awnings and get the full effect of the view. It's a good product. It's what we were looking for.

    I have quite a large deck and I've been wanting to get something to use on it to give me some shade mornings in the summertime when it's so hot. I've known a few people that have SunSetter, and they really love them. I knew there were cheaper brands out there, but SunSetter has a very good reputation. I probably could not have done it 'cause I'm on Social Security, but my son got it for me. He asked me what I wanted for Christmas, and I told him I wanted a SunSetter.

    The sales rep who came out was awesome. He was very knowledgeable, explained everything I needed to know and did not try to push anything on me, which I liked. He showed me my options. He measured everything and told me what I could use or what was available. He did what he said he would do. When he said he would come, he came. I wanted to get something that was motorized. There were several patterns that you could choose from, and I chose a pattern that I thought I would like. Now that I've got it, I love it. I got some accessories with it as well. I got the wind sensor and the metal cover that goes over it to help protect it. I got the no-fault warranty too.

    Spoke with gentleman after 3 weeks to get an estimated installation date. I was given 3 reasons why he couldn't in an unpleasant tone. Another gentleman then explained it would be 8-9 weeks before installation. Since I didn't hear any more, I left the city. I think it was 12 or 13 weeks before they made contact. While I was out of town, I received several calls telling me they would install on a certain date and asked me to confirm. I never confirmed.

    Needless to say, they showed up without confirmation. They woke up my neighbors, ringing bells and knocking on doors. It's like I was dealing with a totally inept company of clowns. 1st call to me should have been to ask when they could install. Since I never confirmed their date, they wasted time and money by showing up at my door. After hearing from my neighbors, I called them to let them know I didn't know when I would be returning. So, I have not received the solar shade yet. I do know that your company may have missed the opportunity to sell me 3 more. When I receive this one, if I am not satisfied, I will file a dispute with my credit card company. It's a shame, because the salesman was very pleasant and did his job making the sale.

    The quality of my SunSetter awning is top-notch. I had no issues whatsoever. The mounting of it was very simple. It was a little heavy because I got a 20-foot long one, but I was able to do everything by myself. Overall, my experience was great. I did it all through the internet, and everything was as described. It came in a nice, round, very protected tube that was delivered promptly with no damage. It worked perfectly.

    Sunsetter is terrific at calling back when I call them and they always send someone out. Everyone has been so polite, including the workers, but so far, my experience with them has been a little crazy. On 9/26, I ordered an awning, then it was installed on 11/22. On 12/27, they came for an adjustment because it was off-kilter, then on 12/29, the retractable arms that go back and forth broke altogether. One of them fell off, and with the weight, the other one also collapsed right in front of my window. I waited to get my awning working and when Sunsetter came back the other day, they wanted a service charge for it.

    Sunsetter's awnings are beautiful and I know people here that have them and have not had the problem that I have had. However, since I've had so much trouble with my awning, I'm not happy. I am also dissatisfied with the young man that asked me for $350 for a service call and he was not giving me any bill. I want my awning fixed.

    The installation part was good. The installers came and did what they said they would do. The girl showed me how to work everything. We have some issues with when they could come and install it. It snowed and it was too cold, so they couldn't drill into the siding. We have opened it when they were here to make sure it all works. But we have not used ours yet. It was installed late in the year. Our in-law's quality is great. They get wind up there. The awning would shut when it got windy. The installers shook it a bit to show me that the wind sensor is working. They showed me how to use the remote and added a valance type thing on the front. We use the awning up at the cabin all the time. We like it. We'll enjoy ours. It goes out the full length of the deck. We would recommend it. However, the sales process was a little frustrating. It depends on who the service provider is or the salesperson. You can get different people if you're in different areas.

    My husband was frustrated with all the back and forth. One of the days, we stayed home from work because they would come install. They called us the day of and said, "It never made it to the warehouse. They can't deliver it today." They had to move our installation date at one point for that. The sale got lost in the system. SunSetter Awnings never placed the order. That's why we got it much later in the year. We didn't get to use it in the fall because it never got approved and it never went through as an order. It was a two-month wait.

    We were told some different pricing. It came back and something had to get approved through a manager because we had a brochure with some deals. We were told we would get some accessories free but it was this accessory or that. The file we had was very misleading. We ended up spending more than what we hoped for. It seemed SunSetter Awnings made guesses on the pricing versus it being, "Here's a 10-foot SunSetter and this is the cost." It's sketchy. It was a year later from when our in-laws purchased. But theirs was a 20-footer and ours was a 10-footer. We paid almost the same amount that they did.

    The salesperson was good. He was the local guy that does everything around here in San Diego. He was pretty much no nonsense type and gave us a deal on certain things, but everything including the installation cost ended up being still a lot more money than I thought. The prices have gone up a lot in the last six years.

    The time to put the SunSetter awning up was within 5 hours. I was worried about the weight of it and how they had to put it up there. I'm checking the wall that it's on, making sure that it stays up there, and so far, it seems to be a good job. We have southerly windows, and this time of year, the sun blasts in here, so the awning protects the windows. It's not helping as much sitting outside right now yet because the sun's so low in the sky, and I'm sorry I didn't get the extra optional shade that drops down in front of the awning. But other than that, I know it's gonna be a whole lot better this summer when the sun's right overhead because we could not use the patio without adding something like the awning.

It just takes a little while for them to make them. It's six weeks.

    People can install some of the smaller ones on their own, but the awning I got required a professional to install it 'cause it's so big. Installation wasn't part of the purchase and I knew I couldn't do it on my own. I had to find a local dealer that specialized in SunSetters and found one to hang it up for me. It's about $1,000 to get somebody to professionally put it up, but it was worth it. The awning is working really well.

    We had a new kitchen and we looked at multiple different options and SunSetter seemed to be the most ideal choice to shade off part of our deck. There were two separate local installers and they did not communicate, and it may be that one of them poached on the other one. We asked for one company and ended up with the other one. I didn't find out that we were dealing with the other company until I went to write the check for the deposit. But it all worked out fine. The experience was great with the people who installed it. It took eight weeks for the awning to be made and it went from being fall to early winter. We bought the awning to help shade the deck for when we use it and it became too cold to do that. We also used the awning to shade the kitchen windows when the full sun was on in the morning. But in the winter, we didn't want to do that because it warmed the room, so we've used the awning exactly once since it was installed.

    There was a question of location in terms of whether the awning was centered on the window or the side, and we told the installers what we were trying to do. But we haven't had a chance to test the awning in the time when we are most likely to be using it and it may well be that it's fine where it is. But the one day we used it, we were putting it up to help block the sun in the morning because it was low and coming in the north, but it didn't block it because the shade was a little too far in one direction. I would have hoped that it would have been more all-season, that it would have worked in the winter when you wanted to shade out the lights. If we wanted it to be more of the sunblock in the kitchen, it probably should have been lined up about a foot further to the right.

    We had a little problem with the remote activating the one time we used it, but it may have been that we weren't giving it enough time to respond. Overall, the product seems to be fine but we didn’t get strong enough support at the time of installation to get it in the right place. The price was good though.

So, the process was clunky in that regard. It could have been a little bit smoother. Then some of the parts that they needed were not shipped and they had to wait. So, we had an appointment, the guys came out, and they were gonna install it. Then they said, “Oh, we don't have the right parts.”

    What was weird to me was that they said, “Okay. We don't have the parts.” Once they got the parts, then the company called me and said, “Yeah. We can come and install it in about four weeks.” I was like, “Why didn't they have an appointment set? They knew the parts were gonna be there in two weeks. Then have it set before.” So, the length of time that it took from the initial consultation with the guy at Costco to finally have it installed was goofy. It was three to four months.

    Installer said it would be 6-8 weeks. We waited over 12 weeks. We called your approved dealer (Gutter Helmet), 3 times. They were not able to give us any answers as to why the longer wait. We were hoping to enjoy it during the Holidays.
