The installers were very efficient. The only thing we don't like is the wind out here that makes it noisy all day, rolled up.

I wanted an awning to shade part of the lanai that's exposed to the sun. The installation with SunSetter was very well done and efficient and they cleaned everything. The material itself is good and it's very secure to the building. It's locked underneath the eaves. I'm real happy with it.

The initial salesperson was nice, but he was inappropriate. He was asking too many personal questions about pictures in the house and then he gave me wrong prices. I followed up with the manager and the manager was excellent. He rectified the situation and made sure everything was right. I would rate the awning top quality. It's a motorized with the automatic wind detection close. In the summer, it's all sunny in our deck area and we would use it every day. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sit out there. Also, it adds space to the living area.

The first time we chose SunSetter, they had an outstanding reputation and we were satisfied with it. So, we went with them again for the second one. This time, we have the awning all over our back patio and it is exactly what we wanted. Before, we wanted it to fit over a deck that we had so, it met our specific needs. The awning has a remote control. We can use that versus the crank.

The salesman from SunSetter and the guys who installed the awning were great. The installers were a little late in showing up but they came, got it set up and took all their trash away. I got a motorized awning and the quality seems good. It needs some adjusting and I’ve contacted the salesman to maybe have it adjusted where it's lower. I heard back from him initially, but no one's ever contacted me that they'll be back to do that.

We have used SunSetter before and I was quite satisfied with them before, unlike this last time where I'm not satisfied at all. We ordered an awning that's operated by a solar battery. First, it took over a month to receive the awning, then the solar battery came broken. We've called SunSetter and they said they'll send a replacement. Now, two months later, nothing has come. They're not very responsive, and we have to keep calling them back.
Realistically, in all of the heat, we have an inoperational awning because we can't operate it manually. I have paid thousands of dollars for something that's absolutely useless and I have to keep trying to reach them for new promises and nothing's coming. It's been a really bad experience, and I would give SunSetter zero stars at this time. I will strongly recommend to other people there are other products that are not solar-operated. The manual awnings work great, as well as the electric awnings. They also have the option to go manually if the electricity is down. The solar-operated ones are a big money pit that people should avoid.

I was thinking about getting an awning and there was a sale at Costco. It took a long time for the SunSetter installers to call and set up the appointment and do the installation, which was slightly disappointing. But once they got here, they were very nice and efficient. They did a good job. I didn't sign off on it because we didn't have the right cord. The guy said it would get ordered and they'd come back and put it in. The other thing was I hadn't gotten the rebate from Costco. So, I was asking them about that. Eventually, I got the rebate and forgot that I was still waiting for the cord. So, I signed off on it but I still haven't gotten the correct cord. I was using it with a long extension cord and I ended up having a handyman put an electrical outlet there. It's working okay with the short cord.
Reviewed Oct. 10, 2024
The SunSetter distributor was very close to my place and I could get the appointment right away. The other competitors were giving me an appointment for three weeks later. Installation was good, but one of the shades is not working. They told me that they were gonna be here between four to six weeks and it took them almost eight weeks. So, they were very late according to what they originally offered me. I bought four of them and one of them is not working. The motor to retract the shade is not working. I have already gotten the commitment that it's gonna be exchanged, but it will take two to three weeks or maybe more. The quality of the shades is good except for the motor. They should try it before they send it to the customer. They should have tested it before sending it.

I got a Sunsetter awning from somebody. She was residing her house, and she said, "Would you be interested in an awning for your backyard?" I said, "Sure." We took the awning and put it up ourselves. The only reason we replaced it was because of a storm. Because it was with our insurance company, the installation process was a pain in the butt, but otherwise, we got it taken care of.

The reps were very nice and installation was good. It was quick and easy, and I didn't do anything. The installer did it all. I really like SunSetter, and I've been wanting them since I bought the house 10 years ago. My husband finally agreed to let me get them. The awning was expensive, but it's great. I love it.

We had Sunsetter in the past, and our experience with them was good at the time. When we moved to a new location, we purchased an awning but we haven't gotten our product yet. We ordered it last June 1.

I looked up SunSetter online and found the dealer in Kokomo. It took forever for them to install the awning but they said the installer was in the hospital for a week so I understood. Other than that, everything's been great so far.

I read about SunSetter about a year ago in some magazines, then it occurred to me I wanted to get an awning. Their name rang a bell, so I called them and the sales rep did a good job. I ordered two shades, but the installers came out with only one shade. So I had to wait another two weeks, then they said they could order it with the black electrical cord. However, the second guys that came out said there was no such thing. They taped it up in black electrical tape, which I'm not happy with. Besides that, the quality of the awning is good. The awning keeps the sun off us when we want the sun off of us.

I've always wanted some shade on my patio. It was always too hot. I got an awning and I was happy with everything SunSetter did. Installation took a bit longer than they thought, but it was a couple of obstacles in the way. They did good, and I can sit outside now. Bottom line, I would highly recommend them again.

We have Eastern exposure on the mornings so our room is getting heated. I purchased the sunshade product as a test. It worked well so I bought two other ones. It's high quality and I'm very happy with the purchase. The ordering process was smooth as well. I had to do a change-over for the first one, but the team was great. I was kept informed of the purchase process.

We already owned a couple of SunSetter products and they're good. We had another window we wanted to protect, and so we got a window shade for that. It's solar-powered and there's a remote that I hang on the wall. I get up in the morning before sun up and I hit the down button, and it goes down. After the sun's off the back of the house, I hit the up button and it goes up. It works every day. You can see through it, so I have my view still, but it blocks out a lot of the sun. The back of our house is all glass. So, I've got three windows with those SunSetters on them and I run them down in the morning till about 2:00 in the afternoon when the sun goes around to the front of the house and it keeps the rooms cooler. The SunSetter team was great. Every time I've talked to them, it's been very good. Overall, it's been a good experience and people should look into it if they want.
Reviewed Oct. 10, 2024
I had a SunSetter installed and recently, I ordered another one online. The quality is not very good. Of the three four and a half foot awnings, it appears to be a bad motor. It took countless phone calls to customer service to try to get a resolution. Every time you call, you get a different person and you start all over again with the troubleshooting procedures. Finally, I got down to one person who decided the awning was bad. They submitted a work order to ssend me a new awning. When they did that, they canceled my three and a half foot awning order mistakenly. When I called to get that straightened out, they said, "We're not gonna send you the one we were gonna send you anymore 'cause now it's been over six months. All we'll do is send you a motor replacement." It was terrible customer service.

I bought a SunSetter awning for a project. The quality was exactly what I wanted, but they're not high-end shades. They're positioned to be mid-grade. SunSetter is an economical quality choice if you're trying to do a mid-range project.
Reviewed Oct. 10, 2024
The team from SunSetter was very good. They did a two-part deal for the back deck to cover up two different areas of the deck. Our back is facing into the sun and the sun comes in at 3:00. We can't use the back that well unless we have an awning to block the sun. I like that the awning tucks away and not too visible, and when it's needed, it does its job.
Reviewed Oct. 10, 2024
We have been waiting for months for a part to come in on one of our awnings. We're not happy about that. That's not our representative's fault, but it's quite frustrating that we've waited three months for a part when we need a repair. We can't use the awning, which is not cool.
Reviewed Oct. 10, 2024
SunSetter's always made good stuff. We saw that we could get their product through Costco and we felt comfortable ordering through them. We had to block the west sun from coming in the living room area, and we liked the way the awning was going to fit in our application and how it worked. It seemed like it took quite some time once our order was shipped. It was four weeks before we got it. But when SunSetter said it was shipped, they did mention that it could take up to three weeks and it took all of that.
Right now, the awning is still sitting in its box. It's late enough in the year here in Montana that I'm not sure we're going to get it up this fall. The sun has changed and we don't need it that badly until early summer again. When we'll be using the awning, it'll be tucked up underneath the soft eave, then hang straight down. And it is on a covered porch. So between the window in the house to where the awning is, there's about 10 feet, and we're going to block the sun before it ever gets to the house. We'll also still be able to use our covered porch with that down when the sun's out.

I got SunSetter before and recently, I had two other awnings up from them. They did a nice quality job and they were all very good. I didn't have a problem. The awnings that I got are big enough to cut out the light where I needed it cut out. They're very nice awnings. I've also used SunSetter in my house up in Yankton. They have very good quality products. Don't use anybody else. I told my next-door neighbor about them and she went and bought one because of me.

We have a SunSetter awning and we bought it through Costco. We love it and we're very happy with it. We put it out every morning on the back deck because that gets tremendous sun exposure. We then bought a SunSetter shade not too long ago because we knew their products were great. It's a pulldown shade and we use that also to block the sun. I would tell my neighbors to get a SunSetter through Costco and to make sure it's on sale.

The crew that came to put our pergola up knew exactly what they were doing. They were able to get it up in about four hours. They were efficient, kind courteous, cleaned up after themselves. The Pergola provides the shade we needed with the west exposure we have. We love our new pergola and would highly recommend them to anyone. In fact, our neighbors saw ours and order one from you.

If you're looking for an awning, this is an option you should consider. It was a positive experience. The sales fellow and installers all did a good job. They were all pleasant people to deal with. The product has worked as advertised. The rep went over all the options, took measurements, looked the area over, explained what we could do, and that is what we did. The install took a couple of hours, and they cleaned everything up. We're satisfied with that. It required several men to do and it was a second balcony. They had to bring the awning over the railing instead of going through the house and I'm sure it was not an easy install. Once they got it up, it was an easier install, but they had to get up to that level. It's heavy.
The construction looks like good quality from a feature standpoint. We got the remote operator. That makes life a lot easier. We also have the wind protection device, which we enjoy having that, though it surprised us at first how much motion it would take on the setting they had before it would retract. We set it down one more notch. Even then, there were times when we look at it and say, "You would have thought it would have retracted." We hope nothing happens. It was cool that we were able to do that and the temperature difference was significant by the time we were up on the balcony.

I'm very happy with the quality of the awning. It has a warranty of tornadoes, hurricanes, and a tree falling. It didn't matter what happened. The rep told us 100% guaranteed, which fortunately, we haven't had to deal with that yet. But when there is a lot of rain and the awning is out, there'll be some sagging, holding that water. So, then when we pull that awning in, it's just a river flowing off of it. That's not a big deal. But I am concerned, is it gonna stretch that canvas? For example, if we're gone all day, and it pours down rain all day, and the awning is out, I'm not there to put it in to prevent that from happening. So, that would be the only design flaw. Apparently, there is a slant there. It might just be that the canvas part needs to be tightened up because it is on a slope where the water should just run right off. But it does collect. You don't realize it because it's not dropping down. The water can collect 2 or 3 inches deep on it, though.

We went online to see who the nearest dealer was. That turned out to be SunSetter Awnings. The installers could have been more knowledgeable. My husband who is very savvy in that kind of stuff had to give them a couple of pointers here and there because he was concerned about how it would come together. We had to have the contractor come back because when we tried to close it, one of the arms would get stuck and wouldn't close. They came back out and made some adjustments to that. The awning could have been a little cheaper. But we’re happy with it.

The salesperson was very forthright. He told us about what SunSetter can offer and what they can do like it was. We wanted the awning and we were an easy sell but there was a little bit of a speed bump on the installation. It was supposed to be on a certain day. Some guy that seemed to deal out of his trunk came out, which was a turn-off. I wasn't impressed with his personality at all. Also, he didn't have all the equipment, which I couldn't understand. If you have an appointment to install something, you check your stuff to make sure you have everything. But that didn't happen so he had to come back. It was another three weeks because stuff had to be ordered.
It seemed weird that a big company didn't have the wherewithal to complete the job. We waited for a while until somebody else came to install the awning, which was a huge improvement. Those guys were good. We love the awning. It provides shade when the sun is high and hot. It's a very good feeling to be able to sit out there and enjoy the outdoors. We also have friends that have had a SunSetter and they've been satisfied as well.

There were a lot of difficulties with the delivery of our SunSetter awning. Ours was delivered to someone else and luckily, it was in our area. But when we said we'd go pick it up, we were told we couldn't go pick it up because they needed to pick it up and deliver it to us. So, it took longer. Other than that, everything was great. My husband installed the awning and he didn't have any difficulty. We love the awning quite well and it keeps the house cooler. I would also recommend SunSetter as long as they use a different company to deliver.

My backyard gets pretty hot. I have umbrellas but they weren't as effective as the SunSetter awning. It's great and it helps. It's electric and I like it. But I don't feel like it's worth the money. I paid over five grand for it and we have a really big one. I would think it was worth it if I paid 3,500. So it's a little bit overpriced and I don't think any paid structure is worth eight grand, which is a lot of money. The other thing is, one of the features it has is a wind sensor and when I have to troubleshoot it, it does not seem to work. So I have to figure that out. I just haven't had time.

We have a western exposure on our patio, and so I started looking for some alternative. I purchased a SunSetter awning with a striking golden brown and a beige-type stripe. It is motorized and it works very well. It was also a pleasure working with the team that ordered our awning and installed it. We waited several weeks after they ordered it. Then the company of the guy that installed it ran a check on where it was, and they couldn't find it. So they ordered it again and it took about 10 weeks. So I wasn't real happy about that.
But after they notified me it was there, they scheduled me two days later and the guy came out and put it up in one day. So that was a very good response on their part. We're also happy about the SunSetter awning. It's nice and it allows us to sit out there outside. Along with the awning, I got an evaporative cooler and we turn that on. We're in Houston, Texas and it's hot and humid all of the summer. So that has helped us and we can sit out there most any time of the day now.

He came back in, said he had a better deal for us and we signed to have it done. When the installers came to put the awning in, they were having trouble getting it into our fascia and soffits. They made at least 15 holes in our fascia. We made them come take the awning down. They gave us a refund, but I had to pay $2,000 to have new fascia, soffits, and gutters put on.

The rep with SunSetter was very informative and answered my questions. She also helped me with the colors.

When they came back up to do the lights, they showed me how to use the lights as well. We've used the lights once, and it's been great. It's almost like being in daylight. They also demonstrated how the wind would retract the awning when it got to be to a certain level. I like the retractability of it, being able to put it in and out. I could put it at different stages so it doesn't have to be all the way out. SunSetter is an expensive product, but it's good.

I reached out online and immediately got a response back from a local distributor. They were very good. I would give very high marks to the local installer. Meanwhile, I would give zero stars to SunSetter, the corporation. We're not in a COVID situation, but the initial delivery of the large SunSetter product took longer than promised. The distributor said that was from SunSetter. When the awning came, part of it was missing and it took another over a month to receive it. I tried to get an understanding on when this piece will be in, and they would give me no information.
SunSetter, the corporation, is totally unresponsive to the consumer. They could not care less about me. I tried to talk and speak to a supervisor or to anyone, and I could not get through to one single person other than a boiler room help desk. I was on hold for an hour and they say, "Leave your number. We will call you back when you're in the queue." they never called back once out of four times. If someone has a problem with the installation or the warranty, I have confidence in the local distributor. On the other hand, I have zero confidence in SunSetter, and I would not recommend them to anyone because of that.

The installation was enlightening. I ended up having to buy a motorized winch. I was happy. We had four people putting it up. It definitely was a little bit of a learning curve, but not that it was hard. It was just I had to figure out how many people to get to hold it up and put it in the brackets. I love the awning. Even when the sun isn't out, it's the ambiance of having it over you.

The one awning upstairs that we've been using was really blowing out and it was like the metal things were almost bending in it. But that's the only thing I'm worried about.

Our awning was about 25 years old and it broke on one side. So, I asked around and SunSetter was recommended. That was what we did. The SunSetter team was wonderful. The fellow came out with all the books. We went through everything, and he was explaining all of the various kinds of fabrics and was very knowledgeable. It took quite a while to get it because I picked an expensive one. It's an $8,000 job. About two and a half months later, they came and they were really good. They took away the old one and they put in the new one and all the new arms. The experience was great, very simple and very nice.
The awning has a wonderful screen that you can roll down so we can block the late afternoon sun, too. I picked the fabric. It's a heavier fabric and it doesn't fade so badly in the sun. It's really lovely. It'll be there for a long time, but it was probably the most expensive thing in the book. Quality is fine. Part of the cost was also because I did the bronze arms because the armature had broken on the other one. I ordered the bronze instead of the white. The white was cheaper, but I have a dark green awning and I didn't want a bunch of white arms sticking out. We love the awning. It's wonderful, and it'll last for a long time because it's top quality. Customer service was great, too. They even called back to be sure everything was working right, and they said to call them if I had any questions or any problems. They were very involved in the whole process.

When we were ordering the awning, the rep asked what color. My house is green, so I wanted something green. "And do you want stripes or do you want solid?" He showed me and I got stripes. "The little part flap that hangs down, do you want that straight or do you want that scalloped?" Everything he asked me, I would ask him, "Is one cheaper than the other? Is it cheaper to go straight instead of scallop? Is it cheaper to go solid?" "Everything, nope, nope, nope." I got to choose what I wanted. I asked because I know how they could add things and it would make our price jump up. But it was just like what I wanted it.
It took the installers a little over two hours to install the awning, which wasn't bad. The awning is 19 x 11. It's a good size. It's a retractable with a remote. They showed us the handle to crank it in case our motor or electricity didn't work. We've never had one or know anybody who got one, so we had questions and they were very good answering those.

The awning is retractable and super helpful. It provides a lot of good shade from the sun and covers more of the porch than what was covered before.

The first time we dealt with SunSetter was a couple of years ago. The guy made a good presentation, but we weren't ready to get it then. The weird thing was, there was no follow-up. I was really surprised at that, then a year and a half later, we decided we wanted to go ahead and get an awning. I called the company, and they had no information that we had spoken to them before, so we started from scratch. The guy who came out and did a presentation evidently had some family problems, so I couldn't get in touch with him, so the company assigned somebody else to me. He came out, and we got everything set up. It rocked along, then the company called and they wanted payment before we had ever even received the awning, much less had it installed. That was ridiculous.
Every time I would call the company back, they never responded. Finally, I had to work through the salesman and we finally got the awning and got it up. However, when the two guys came to put it up, one of them fell and was injured. This doesn't normally happen with them, but they thought they had the awning up, then it fell down. They came back and fixed it temporarily and had to order a new part. When that came in, they came back out and fixed it permanently.
The subsidiary group under SunSetter that handled this area was very inefficient, and I wasn't impressed with the process, but we really like the awning. It's very sturdy and well made, and it works great and looks nice. I highly recommend the awning. I would also give the name of the salesman to get in touch with and tell them about how the company did and to be wary of working with the subsidiary company.

I heard about SunSetter through Costco and after doing some research, I liked the features that they had on their unit. The fabric availability, the width, and the features that the awning had encouraged me to go with that particular model, and with the Costco pricing, it made it very affordable. Even though I had looked up online the SunSetter direct website, my dealings were all through Costco. I dealt directly via online order with Costco, and my order was delivered in a timely fashion. It included the product, the instructions and all the other details as well as the installation hardware, which made it very do-it-yourself-friendly. I did the install, and my son helped me.
My awning is electric, and it comes in and out via remote. It also has a wind sensor feature, so in high winds, it'll automatically roll back in. Having the feature of the retractable awning was more attractive to us. We're in South Florida, and for our patio, we didn't wanna have a permanent structure out there that might be damaged by a hurricane. I'm definitely satisfied with the product. It provides shade for our patio area, and it functions at this point flawlessly. If someone's considering an awning, they need to definitely look at SunSetter seriously because I've had a very good experience with them.

I built a second floor deck and I wanted an awning over the deck.

The installer was fine but he wasn't part of SunSetter either. He was subcontracted by MooreShade4Less and I paid him directly. MooreShade4Less doesn't respond to emails and phone calls. The finance company that I'm financed through is having trouble and they had my account on hold until they rectify the situation with wind for the awning.
When I called SunSetter, they said that they could not do anything for me because I bought it through MooreShade4Less. So now I'm stuck with an awning that nobody wants to do anything with. It cost $8,000 and it wasn't cheap. So, it's really got me upset. MooreShade4Less shouldn't be selling awnings because they do a really bad job at customer service.

We're still waiting to get our lighting. And they brought the wrong one out the second time. So, they had to take that back again. The accuracy and getting it right has been an issue. We had to have them come out. I had to call a couple of times. It was the owner and his wife who takes care of the back end business part of it. But it was harder to get ahold of them than it was the people who whoever they contracted to do the installation. Their communication between the installers and the company owners was a little off.
The awnings were a taupe and retractable. If the wind caught it, it automatically retracted them back. They also had the screen that you could wind down in front, if you had sun coming in the front part of it. They're easy to work. We love them. We have sun that comes in facing to the west at night. Especially on hot days like this, it helps with the windows and the rooms in the back end of our house. We have sun that comes in facing to the west at night.

The awning appears to be well made and operates as advertised. The problem arises if you need service to remedy a problem. When I contacted the customer service department about a problem when the awning opened and closed. The service rep. attempted to diagnose the problem (which was incorrect) because it is a DIY repair. I informed the service rep. that I will not repair the awning myself, which is less than one year old, that I had contacted the installation company two times without any results, the installation contractor had made an appointment that was not kept without a phone call. I was told that by the service rep "Sunsetter has no control over the installation company's". I stated I want to talk to a supervisor, none were available, I received a voicemail a week later stating that I should contact the customer service department.
At the time of purchase the impression is the entire sale and installation are done by SunSetter. It is not. The sale is done by a second party company who then contracts a third party to do the installation. In their literature it states the awning is professionally installed. The receipt from the installation company just indicates the amount paid for the installation nothing about warranty for the installation. We had to contact the Better Business Bureau about the problem with SunSetter and MoreShades4Less (retailer) to get the problem resolved. Both companies responded quickly after contacting BBB to resolve the problem.

The SunSetter awning is a very good product. My father-in-law knew an elderly person that had one on her house that she no longer used and she wanted it removed. My father-in-law removed it for her and he thought he could use it on his house, but it was too big. He asked us if we wanted it, and it sat on our deck perfectly. It was great, and we had it there for 15 years. It might have been 10 years old already as far as we could figure out, and finally, it faded out completely. We got a hailstorm one day and got some holes in it, and we still had it another year after that. We were doing our deck over, and we decided to buy another awning 'cause we liked the first one so much.
I went online, looked at SunSetter and I found the people that I could get it from. I had it delivered and put it up myself. We got the basic unit, just the awning with the equipment on the sides, to raise and lower it with the crank. We also bought a cover, which was the only thing that was extra. Our first awning lasted a long time and that's why we bought another one. The quality is there. The material in the old one we had might have been a little heavier than the new one, but it still looks like it's very good quality. We go out on the deck a lot. We have a table out there.

We have a new patio that we were installing and we have four umbrellas across our patio that we use. I'm tired of using umbrellas and our best friends have awnings that they had installed on their house. So, we asked them about it and they said it was SunSetter. We had a guy come out and he was a typical salesperson trying to do a fast sales pitch. So, we slowed him down and told him we needed some questions answered. And he had an answer for every question that I had.
We did a 20 by 13 awning and it's the biggest awning that you can do. I really like it and I've enjoyed it since we had it. We had lights put on it as well as the wind sensor. The awning is used every day because the whole back of our house is glass. We get the morning sun and it just glares in there. But I can put the awning on and out, and it takes the heat off coming into the house on the glass. So, that's the biggest reason that we did it.
We've had a few issues with the installation of the awning but other than that, we're enjoying it. I'm still a little concerned about the wind control that it has on it. I have seen it work, but when it's out the full length, it doesn't work as well as I would think it should. But maybe the sensitivity has to be adjusted on it. The SunSetter guy told me that we got to watch it and bring it in a little bit. And if I bring it in halfway, then the wind sensor kicks in and pulls it back in when it gets too windy.

I have had 3 Sunsetter over a 30 year span and they are worth every penny, our deck gets the evening sun, and in Georgia, the heat is crazy hot, that sunsetter has kept it away from the deck and kept that sun shining in the deck door, which keeps down the air condition from running all the time, save money on power bill..So does a sunsetter help with power bill, yes absolutely..It makes BIG difference..Do yourselves a favor buy sunsetter, it will be the best thing you ever did. My dog and cat also loves to stay on the deck during the night hours and they love the sunsetter, it's great when it rains, we can set on the deck and watch the rain come down and not get wet, our pets love that also..Like I said best money we ever spent.

I have a deck and I was using gazebos on it. But the gazebos would run two years and then I'd have to replace it. We wanted something more permanent and we found a local dealer. When they came out and did the presentation, it was informative and the rep was very straight up. He told me how he was gonna do it and we decided we like the way it was gonna go, so we went ahead and ordered the awning. We have the motorized awning and it works well. I'm pleased with the product and the quality of it.

We ordered through Costco, and selected a 20’ platinum plus motorized xl with white frame and storm stripe fabric. We are very pleased with our purchase. It provides shade on our deck, which is on the west side of our home. Our composite decking gets really hot for our feet or paws of our dogs. This is a game changer. We now enjoy more time outside. It was a challenge to install, with a weight over 200 lbs, but with the help of our neighbors, it was installed without issues. We know we will enjoy it for years to come.

The awning is a great product and we love it. On the first installation, the techs found out something was wrong with the SunSetter awning. They found some deficiency though from my view, it was completely fine. But they said they found some error when it was extending and they generously offered to replace it. And they did it. They quickly produced a new one for us. We appreciate it and we're very happy with the generosity of SunSetter. The first delivery was good and quick. But the second delivery was a mess. The delivery company lost the product completely and was not delivered until now. We will put it up on our own or hire the installation. We haven’t done it yet because it's the end of the summer.

To start off, my salesperson did not listen to what I wanted, but what he suggested. I’m a retiree and wanted the 10 year warranty material, so I wouldn’t have to worry about anything in the near future. I was told that all I had to do was take care of awning and it would last. So I ended up with the lesser. Also I think that customers should have better choices if they choose the manual.
Also on the day of purchase, I received in the mail from Sunsetter for awning cover valued at 120.00 if I went with this company, but was advised by my salesman, I could not get as I had already made my purchase that day! Also I wasn’t even given 72 hours to change my mind, because my check was cashed the very next day, I did refer my neighbors across the street, whom weren’t happy with Mr. ** either. I never received my 100.00 dollar referral check as of today. I should have went with MARYGROVE. Better customer service, and I would have gotten the print I wanted, with the warranty I asked for. I would have had to go with automatic instead of manual. I now feel this would have been the better company to go with. Lesson learned.

My wife decided to go with Sunsetter, but we didn't get the awning, because when it got out here, the installers couldn't put it in. Apparently, they measured wrong. Sunsetter is a good company, but a lot of their stuff is done third party as far as installation is concerned. They're not a company that knows how to think out of the box because all they had to do was put a couple of 2 x 4s up there to bring it out over. I would have went with Sunsetter if they could have figured the stuff out, but they couldn't. That drove me to just cancel the contract, ‘cause it was just ridiculous.
I was thinking that when they came here, took the measurements and did everything that they were supposed to do, everything should have been good to go. It's also a company that has to have an electrician to come and put the electrical up there before they could do anything instead of having a one-stop shop with people that will do the electrical aspect and all that good stuff, and when they give the price, the price includes everything. If I have to pay $5,000 just for them to install the awning and then I have to pay another cost to get the electrical ran to it, it's like buying a car and I gotta go to another company and get the wheels or the tires.

I decided to purchase an awning because we had to remove some trees in my backyard, and it was so hot on my deck, so we were looking for something that could give us some shade. I'm a Costco member, and Costco advertised a sale on Sunsetter. So, I was able to get a discount and use the Costco Sunsetter thing. I purchased the awning online, then we put it up ourselves. It was a bit of a struggle because it's heavy and we didn't quite know what went where. It was a matter of trial and error, but it went okay.
Once the awning was installed, it worked well and I haven't had any trouble with it. I haven't used it a lot, but I rolled it out a couple times. It's big and it's not flimsy or lightweight. It's very heavy and good quality. It rolls in and out smoothly, and we can adjust the height of it. It's all on a remote, or we can use the crank. We use the awning when we're out on the deck in the afternoons when the sun is really hot on that side. We also use it for picnics and parties, just for relaxing.

I reached out to SunSetter and there was a sales representative that came out. He was experienced. Install went okay. We're very happy with the awning. There are some challenges since we live in an area where there is wind. So, we have the wind sensor. Sometimes it's a little frustrating that whenever there's wind, the wind sensor likes to retract the awning. But I understand it's for the safety of the awning. One thing where it was oversold a little bit was that down at the beach, a lot of people have these awnings and I know there's a strong breeze down there. I can imagine our breeze is not much stronger than what's down at the beach. It's a big awning and it's a big sale. It is what it is.
The price is the only sticking point. It was something like eight grand. It almost feels like I paid twice as much as I should have. They've crossed the line with the price.

The installation of our awning took longer than I wanted. The guy who gave me the estimate was super nice and knew his job, but he ordered the wrong type. Then we had to wait again while the other parts were ordered and it took a long time. The installers were great. The process just finished this week with the final piece of the awning installed, and I was not very happy about that. It was the beginning of the summer when I ordered it.
I was also told so I wouldn't have to spend a lot of money, rather than do a roof stitching, they could do a wall stitching. If they couldn't do the wall stitching, they had to do the roof stitching. So, they had to order more parts, and the parts didn't come. So, they used somebody else's parts. And then there was still a part missing, which finally got installed this week. It took a long time, which was a lot irritating. SunSetter has to be a little bit more together when it comes to getting the correct type of awning. I don't know why it took so long to get simple parts like the roof mount. Overall, my experience was very mediocre, but I love the awning.

The awning is too heavy for one person to do the installation, especially for the width that it has. So, it took a little extra effort to get it mounted, but it all worked out. We chose one of the better models that they offered for it to hopefully stand up to the elements and last longer. So, it has better materials, better fabric, and better frame. It has a little canopy.

It was a multi-personnel effort 'cause it's a large awning. It took five of us, and we did it in stages. My brother, a neighbor, my husband, my dad and I helped with the installation. I was always curious if a handyman came, how they would have done it because it's something that people never know what they're gonna get themselves into.

We've been in this house for a couple years and we hadn't been sitting out on our deck ‘cause it was hot. We looked between SunSetter and putting up a pergola and other alternatives. SunSetter was the easiest and the least expensive. They also got back to me quicker than some other companies and the sales rep who came out was good. He was responsive. The installation went fine as well. However, I'm getting way too many marketing things from them.

I had a good experience with SunSetter. The installation went fine. They were able to install it quickly. The awning works as expected, too.

SunSetter has an affordable price. I also like the way it retracts. I have a dog business so I needed some shade. It worked out well and they were very nice to work with. They spent a good four hours on the first one. I don't mind how much time they spent because they did a very nice job. It was very clean, professional and even. I was watching them as they were doing it. There were three guys in the first awning, and then I added two more awnings after that.

I like the SunSetter Awning. I've seen it. I have friends that have it. And the way my place sits, I needed it. Their customer service was very good when I purchased. It's expensive but everything's expensive now. I also wanted the best and I got it.

The quality of my SunSetter Awning is good. I have the wind control on my awning. However earlier, when I opened it, it was making a certain noise when it was rolling. It's also pricey. I bought it through Costco online and I did the installation myself. It was delivered by the door outside.

My experience with SunSetter wasn't good. When they left here, after they installed it, for one thing, it hesitates before it comes down. It comes down part way, goes back up. And I have to do it again. Maybe sometimes two or three times. They need to come back and fix this thing why it doesn't go back and forth. Also, when they installed the awning, I don't know what kind of oil they used, but I've got these black spots all over my pavers and I couldn't get them off. Not very professional.

The installation people of SunSetter were wonderful. It was him and his son. They did a great job. I've told a whole bunch of people already about them and I would recommend them to anyone. It took three weeks to a month to get the awning. Once it got in, they did it within three days. The awning is very quiet. It does a good job. It's exactly what I wanted. I'm very satisfied. The only thing, I wish I would have gotten a scallop instead of a straight across. That was my mistake.

I had Chris from SunSetter come out and he was absolutely wonderful. I ordered from him and I've been very happy with the awning. He was very knowledgeable about SunSetter awning. He was a really nice guy and personable. He was not pushy. I don't like pushy salesmen. He was very good and he's from River Falls. They had ordered the wrong size housing box, but they said, "No problem." They reordered the right one. When it came, they came out and installed it. It was fine. The awning is expensive but it's good quality. It's electric and I like it.

SunSetter is a brand name that I heard of and I got the awnings through a local distributor. The installation was fast and quick. The installers were able to show me how to do everything before they left and didn’t leave a mess so I was happy.
