Cordless or Corded Window Blinds – Which one is better?
Cordless blinds are suitable when you have normal sized windows and the windows are situated in easy to reach locations. Moreover, they are the right choice when you have children and pets in your house.
On the other hand, corded ones will be useful when the windows are at difficult to reach locations, are obstructed by things like furniture or the windows are too wide for the cordless blinds to function efficiently.

Should You Go Cordless? What to Know About Cordless Blinds
Standard blinds are what you probably have in your house.
They have cords you have to pull and move from side to side to raise and lower the blinds.
Seems simple enough, but think for a minute that there have been several times a cord has gotten stuck or twisted around something.
Or worse yet, you’ve pulled and nothing happens or only one side raises up.
What are cordless blinds?
Cordless blinds don’t have hanging cords to pull, get tangled, or cause safety hazards.
They look like your normal window blinds, minus having hanging cords over them, but they don’t operate like them.
Instead of pulling on a cord, a free-stop mechanism will help move the blind up or down and lock in place.
And while they do still have cords, they only go through the blind slats so you can smoothly move the blinds up and down.
