Pros & Cons
Pros
The only drawback i've seen thus far is that it doesn't roll up evenly. Can't complain with a product priced this low that functions so well. Worth every penny.
Nearly a 5, excepting installation is not a breeze. Looked at both clutch and idle end plugs. Installed quickly on patio overhang to keep rain spray off.
The blind makes a huge difference with heat that normally floods into the house via the sun deck. My porch is south facing and the amount of sunlight was burning my plants. Plus i have security doors that have the protection screen--also blocks sun.
Cons
Extremely light-weight. Will not stay in place in any wind over 2 mph. Not durable. Cr crank handles are not rust-resistant or rust-proof. When opened, the idle end unit and one bottom rail cap were not in the package.
Highlights
Quality
The rotating mechanism seems sturdy and the product itself makes a very good overall impression.
Easy to install, perfect fit and so efficient.
The way the beams are connected, inside and outside, interfere with installation of end pieces.

Packaging/appearance
Not the clear square box that the same shades come in from the big box stores.
Competitiveness
I bought this to go with an identical, but longer, coolaroo shade i purchased from a box store.
Unfortunately, needed a smaller shade to match the existing larger coolaroo.
