I wasn't in favor of the electric awning when we bought ours. Just one more electrical thing to go wrong.
Since then I have found that I use the awning more than with previous manual one since it is so much easier. Feel like I want it? Just push the button. Need to bring it in to go some where or to bed? Just push the button.
I do miss the option of tilting the awning to block sun more often. My DW made a sun screen that slides in to the slot on the roller. It helps to block the sun when it is lower in the sky.
The electric awning is also high. I cannot reach the slot without a step stool.
But all in all, after having both; I prefer the electric.
Of course, ask me again after it breaks and I have to repair it.
