Battery-powered roller shades make it easier to adjust window coverings without a hanging lift cord. The three AX290 options below combine battery operation, remote control, blackout fabric, and no-drill inside mounting; choose among them primarily by listed width. LICHTDIM24 is another motorized option, with a rechargeable motor and included solar panels. Persilux is a manual, cordless alternative rather than a battery-powered shade.
| Product | Best For | Key Distinction |
|---|---|---|
| AX290, 34.5 x 72 | Wider measured windows | Battery compartment; blackout fabric |
| AX290, 22 x 72 | Narrower measured windows | Battery compartment; blackout fabric |
| AX290, 35 x 72 | Windows near 35 inches wide | Remote operation; smart control needs a bridge |
| LICHTDIM24 | Rechargeable motor preference | Solar panels are included |
| Persilux | Manual cordless operation | Light-filtering linen fabric |
AX290 Battery Shade, 34.5 x 72
This AX290 model is best for buyers whose inside-mount window measurements suit the listed 34.5-by-72-inch size. It has a battery compartment at the top, a remote, and three-layer blackout textured fabric intended to provide privacy and UV protection. Its included valance is designed to cover the gap between the fabric and top rail.
The no-drill installation uses an adhesive extension block and is described for inside mounting. The product instructions specify using no more than one block. App and voice control require a separate smart bridge or hub; the motor alone does not provide those controls. Choose this option for battery-powered remote operation, but verify the fit and mounting arrangement before ordering.
AX290 Battery Shade, 22 x 72
Choose this version if a narrower window suits its listed 22-by-72-inch dimensions. Like the 34.5-inch model, it has a battery compartment, remote control, cordless operation, blackout textured fabric, and a valance intended to reduce the light gap at the top rail. The fabric is described as providing UV and privacy protection.
This is a better fit for a small opening than the wider AX290 choices, but the listed size should not be treated as a guarantee of fit for every window. It is designed for no-drill inside mounting with the included extension-block method. Smart-app or voice operation requires an additional bridge or hub, which is a limitation for buyers expecting built-in Wi-Fi control.
AX290 Motorized Shade, 35 x 72
This 35-by-72-inch AX290 is best for buyers comparing a shade close to the 34.5-inch version but needing the listed 35-inch width. Its feature set includes a top battery compartment, remote control, no-drill inside-mount installation, a three-layer blackout textured fabric, and a valance. The product describes the fabric as offering UV and privacy protection.
Check the actual window opening and the product’s mounting requirements before choosing between the two similar widths. The no-drill setup uses an adhesive extension block, and the instructions say not to use more than one. A smart bridge or hub is needed for app and voice features, so choose another control setup if you do not want to add that equipment.
LICHTDIM24 Rechargeable Motorized Shade
LICHTDIM24 is best for buyers who prefer a rechargeable motor rather than replacing batteries. The listing recommends charging the motor fully before use and says a full charge can last three to six months. Included solar panels can recharge it when sunlight is available. Its remote-controlled shade uses blackout fabric described as providing shading, UV protection, insulation, and privacy.
The product offers no-drill installation, plus punch-hole accessories for an alternative mounting method. The cordless design avoids a hanging lift cord. Its stated operating noise is no more than 58 decibels on average. A limitation is that the listing does not provide a specific size in the supplied details, so confirm available dimensions and fit before selecting it.
Persilux Cordless Light-Filtering Shade
Persilux is best for buyers who want a manual cordless roller shade and prefer filtered daylight over a motorized blackout option. Its linen fabric is described as providing privacy, and the product listing highlights laser-cut edges. A shading strip is included as part of its blackout-oriented design to address light leakage at the top.
This product is included as a comparison, not as a battery-powered pick: the supplied features do not describe a motor, battery, or remote. It may suit someone who values cordless manual operation and a light-filtering fabric, but buyers specifically seeking automated battery operation should choose one of the motorized options above. Check the selected custom size and fabric description carefully.
Buying Guide: How to Choose Battery-Powered Roller Shades
What size should you choose?
Measure the window and compare the result with the shade’s listed dimensions and mounting instructions. The three AX290 listings offer widths of 22, 34.5, and 35 inches, all with a listed 72-inch length. Their similar features make width the clearest stated difference. Do not assume that a product’s nominal size will fit an opening without checking its measuring guidance.
Do you want replaceable batteries or a rechargeable motor?
The AX290 shades have a battery compartment, and the listing says depleted batteries can be removed and replaced. LICHTDIM24 instead describes a rechargeable motor, with included solar panels that can charge in sunlight. Consider whether you prefer replacing batteries, charging the motor, or using solar assistance. The supplied information does not specify battery type or charging time.
How much light control do you need?
The motorized AX290 and LICHTDIM24 options are presented as blackout shades. The Persilux alternative is described as light-filtering, making it a different choice for buyers who want some daylight rather than a motorized blackout setup. Fabric descriptions do not establish that every installation will eliminate all light around the edges.
Is no-drill installation important?
The AX290 models use a no-drill method intended for inside mounting, with an adhesive extension block. LICHTDIM24 also advertises no-drill installation and includes punch-hole accessories as another method. Confirm the installation approach fits your window and preferences. Persilux’s supplied details do not specify an installation method.
Do you need smart-home controls?
AX290 app and voice control require a separate smart bridge or hub, according to the listing. Its remote control is a separate stated feature. The provided LICHTDIM24 details describe remote operation but do not specify app or voice controls. Do not assume smart-home compatibility unless the product details confirm the required equipment and controls.
