What is the advantage to a cordless shade over a corded one if you don't have small children?

Sorry for a late answer-I would have to say just no long string draping around like mini blinds have (cat toys )

None in fact i have both a corded and a cordless shade and like the corded one much better. However, good luck finding the corded ones....i think they are all being phased out.

I think its just personal preference. I like corded because mine have lasted longer and less parts to break. Just my opinion. My coolaroo corded shade I've had over a year and no problems.

I didn't have a preference just was looking for a shade for my pergola in the evenings when we were outside.

IMO, this is the only cordless set that provides the power of corded tools. You are trading the convenience of losing the cords with the inconvenience of added weight.The right tool for the right job is always the way to go. I tend to reach for my cordless tools (I own extensive 18 and 36v tools) than my corded ones for most tasks.

hmm, I would think you'd just go with the car seat snooze shade. This one is rather large, and I can't see it fitting snuggly over just a car seat without some creative attachment work. Just my thoughts.

No, this table lamp isn't cordless. It does have a cord, though the cord isn't a problem being seen as the cord is clear, it matches the lamp and clear base. The lamp's cord isn't unsightly because its clear.

A cordless trimmer is definitely not as powerful as a gas trimmer. However, having said that, I am finding that the cordless edgers, cordless blowers and cordless hedge trimmers have made my yard work much simpler and easier to accomplish. I do have an extra battery for every cordless product I have. My yard is not all that large but it is handy to have an extra battery. I still keep a gas trimmer but use it only for the very heavy duty stuff. Cordless has been a most helpful addition. I can easily trim most everything in my yard on short notice with a cordless tool with very little effort compared to gas powered products.

The corded is better suited for more power and especially on heavy jobs. With the cordless you would be going thru batteries fast.

Whethet everyone needs their own is a personal choice. I know that the rollers are washable and you can buy extra, then each person can get their own. I chose corded because when the battery is dieing then the device loses power. I find the cord is long enough to maneuver around, doesnt bother me any. I would say it depends on your preference.

Other than the fact of already having a 10' cord, and a 20' cord, and plugging them into each other, if you needed the 30' reach, it would be better to have just one single 30' cord, and eliminating the need to plug two cords together, less chance for rain or snow to get in the plugs. Less fumbling around in the dark, trying to plug two cords together. These plugs are big and cumbersome, and if stepped upon in the dark, could easily sprain an ankle, or possibly break a leg, or cause other bodily damage.

It has a pull cord up inside the shade. You could wire it to an inline switch if you prefer

I have the smaller one and I personally think the larger one would be better because with the little one you have to scroll around on the tablet to move around on the screen on the computer. So lets say your tablet drawing space is 5"X5" and your computer work space is 10X10 so you would have to scroll a lot to get from one corner of your piece of work to the other and it's a bit awkward. Other than that I don't think there is any advantage or disadvantage with either sizes.

With a conventional truncated cone shaped shade, a lot of light is reflected down by the shade so it works quite well. If you have a more cylindrical shade it may not be as good.

I agree with Jeffrey Golding; I'm very happy with mine. You have some flexibility in how large an area is illuminated, by being able to "angle" the 2 flood lamps; therefore angling them more "up and out" or "down and closer". I have mine very "down and closer" because where I have my RAB unit is a smaller area.

Any sun coming from those is negligible... being so low to the ground. I actually was wishing there was more mesh on the back for even more airflow. The biggest factor for how much shade there is depends on the angle to the sun. Facing south, you'll only really get shade on your upper body at mid-day anyway. If you face any other direction, you get enough shade for 3+ adult camp chairs and gear and won't really notice light coming through ventilation mesh. If you face NW/N/NE, you'll have enough shade to have lots of kids/adults lay out a blanket in front of the chairs and have nice shade. (all of this assuming your latitude is similar to Washington DC)

Yes. It made a huge difference in the amount of shade. I liked it and it was pretty easy to use. My daughter is now five so we haven't used a stroller in awhile.

It means you don't have cords. Just put your finger under the lower sash and raise it to where you want it. Lower the shade by holding onto the bottom sash and pull it down to the desired height.

It is very easy, you just push a button like a regular umbrella. It is very compact and easy to store, yet provides the perfect amount of shade for 1-2 people.

Both -- it is cordless 99.999% of time -- would only shave with cord if power was low for some reason, one I can't think of unless you are careless in not charging it. It has idiot lights to preclude that, too.
