100% Blackout 68in W x 56in H Cordless Cellular Shades - Black

In this review of the BERISSA cordless cellular shades, the bottom line is simple: these 100% blackout, top down bottom up shades are ideal for renters or homeowners who want true light control and privacy without tools or drilling. Installation is genuinely straightforward thanks to the dual-tension no-drill brackets, and the dual-track honeycomb design delivers both full blackout at the bottom and filtered light from the top when used in top-down mode. This review focuses on ease of install, blackout performance, energy savings, and everyday usability.

Key Features

• Dual-Mode Top Down Bottom Up: Lets you lower the shade from the top for natural light while keeping privacy below, or lower from the bottom for complete blackout and privacy.
• No Drill Installation: Dual-tension lateral brackets anchor to frames without damage, making the shades removable and rental-safe while avoiding tools for a fast setup.
• 100% Blackout Honeycomb: The hexagon cellular core blocks all light and creates insulating air pockets to reduce heat transfer and lower energy use.
• Cordless Child-Safe Design: Smooth pull-down operation without cords improves safety in homes with children and creates a cleaner look.
• Noise Reduction: The cellular channels absorb sound to reduce ambient noise, helping create a quieter room for sleeping or working.

Who It's For

The BERISSA blackout cellular shades suit renters, dorm residents, and homeowners who need a high-performing blackout solution that leaves no mounting damage. They are especially useful in bedrooms, media rooms, or any room where sleep and light control matter, and the cordless operation is a practical safety choice for families.

Those who prefer motorized controls, exact custom woodworking installs, or ultra-fine light filtering instead of full blackout should look elsewhere. Also, if you need a fit for very irregularly shaped or non-rectangular windows, a custom-made hard-mounted treatment may be a better option.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Easy 1-3 minute installation using the provided lateral tension brackets and wrench, with no drilling or tools needed.
• Excellent light blocking from the 100% blackout cellular fabric, making rooms very dark for sleep or AV use.
• Thermal benefits from the honeycomb structure can cut heating and cooling load by noticeable amounts.
• Removable and rental-safe design keeps window frames intact and is convenient for temporary living situations.

Cons

• The cordless manual operation requires physical adjustment and is not motorized, which may be a limitation for some users.
• Proper fit depends on accurate measuring; installation videos and guides help, but mismatches require ordering a different size.
