BERISSA Top Down Bottom Up Cordless Cellular Shades 70 in x 48 in

Our review of the BERISSA cordless cellular shades finds them best suited for renters and homeowners who want true blackout performance with easy, no-damage installation. The standout reason to buy is the dual-mode top down bottom up design combined with a genuine no-drill tension bracket system that installs in minutes and removes cleanly for rentals. The review focuses on real use: how well they block light and heat, how simple they are to fit into different window types, and whether the honeycomb cells deliver the insulation and noise reduction BERISSA claims.

Key Features

• Dual-mode top down bottom up: Allows daylight from the top while retaining privacy below or full blackout by lowering from the bottom, so users control light without sacrificing privacy.
• No-drill dual-tension system: Brackets anchor mechanically to the frame for tool-free install and damage-free removal, ideal for drywall, tile, metal or wood surrounds.
• 100% blackout honeycomb fabric: The cellular blackout core blocks light completely for better sleep and media rooms while also reducing heat gain when closed.
• Energy-saving honeycomb structure: Insulating air pockets help trap heat in winter and block solar heat in summer, reducing HVAC load and energy use.
• Cordless, child-safe operation: Smooth manual movement with no dangling cords makes these shades safer in family spaces and easy to operate.
• Removable and rental-safe: Nuts on the bracket allow final tightening and later loosening for residue-free removal when moving out.

Who It's For

This product is for people who need effective blackout coverage and energy savings without permanent modification to their windows, including renters, apartment dwellers, and homeowners who prefer noninvasive installs. It also fits well for bedrooms, media rooms, nurseries or offices where noise reduction and darkness are priorities.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers seeking motorized automation or exact custom millwork fit; this cordless manual system is built for quick DIY fit and removable installation rather than integrated smart-home control or bespoke built-in shades.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Easy, tool-free installation with tension brackets that work on many surface types.
• True 100% blackout fabric and effective noise reduction from the honeycomb cells.
• Dual-mode operation provides flexible light control and privacy in a single blind.
• Cordless design is safer for homes with children and provides a clean look.

Cons

• Manual operation only; no motorized option is included for automated schedules or remote control.
