Electric blinds are opened and closed by a small motorised unit that turns the tube that the blind is attached to. Electric blind motors are extremely efficient, using minimal power to work, and advances in technology also mean they are virtually silent too.

There are various ways to operate motorized blinds, though each has the same ultimate function of adjusting your window treatments remotely.
