The controller is about as easy as it gets. My kids fight over who gets to change it to the snowman. Zero complaints.

Rolls up to almost nothing, so I can pull it in when there’s a storm. Storage is a non-issue. Would buy a second for the front window.

Arrived neatly boxed with everything labeled — controller, adapter, the mesh screen. Felt like unboxing a real gadget, not a cheap seasonal light.
