About to purchase fyrtur blinds but I keep seeing horror stories about them

Are they really as bad as they seem or are newer stock okay? There's a sale on them right now and I've been eyeing these automatic shades for years and I finally have a reason to get them...

Am I in for a world of hurt or should I just stick with manual shades? Will be installing over a sliding patio door.

I run HomeKit in my home and I believe these should work in HomeKit if I use the Dirigera hub? I also plan to swap out the shade material for a light filtering type since kajdril is not available in my country.

Thanks for your advice!

Edit: looks like I'm going to have to double my budget and pick up the PRAKTLYSING cellular shades. light filtering and seemingly more reliable than the roller motors! Good thing I checked here cause I had no idea these existed even though they've been on the market for 2 years already!
