> 24 hourI am so glad it was suggested to me to purchase this in case of rain on my wedding day! Rain was in the forecast for my bachelorette/bridal shower weekend, so I grabbed this umbrella that I had purchased months ago to be ready for the big day. It has a great open/close feature where once you pop the clip it jumps open, and you just have to pull it down without hurting your fingers to close it down. It made me want to use it all day instead of begrudgingly needing an umbrella during the winery tour and while walking in and out of my shower. Definitely a great purchase!!

> 24 hourClear plastic umbrella is a handy size at 34 wide which is large enough to keep the rain off but small enough to fit through a crowded city street. Quick one-hand auto-open via the push button near the handle makes it much easier to use, especially when carrying packages, handbag, and a tote. The clear cover has a cute Parisian theme print with the Eiffel Tower, diamonds, hearts, and red lips in shades of red, black, and blue. The umbrella has a thick plastic handle that is comfortable to hold. It also has a blunt plastic cover over the tip and larger plastic covers at the ends of the ribs which are nice safety features that would make this safer for children to use. The only thing I wasnt impressed with was the thickness of the vinyl covering. It is rather thin and about the same thickness as a zip lock storage type bag....the storage variety, not the freezer bags. I deducted a star for the thinness of the covering.

> 24 hourThe ad says that the umbrella has automatic open and close, but it is not. It has simple hook and spring to open it when you press the button and disengage the hook. For closing, there is nothing automatic - you reach up and pull against the spring until the hook engages. The umbrella is lightweight. it is pretty small. I like how they covered the tips of spokes with plastic. The spokes feel substantial. The handle is thick and easy to hold. I ordered the completely clear option. it is all white with clear canopy. it is quite ok.

> 24 hourI ordered the basic clear dome umbrella to keep by my front door for when I take my dogs out on rainy days. I love the fact that its clear and so plain, because I can leave it out near the door, and it doesnt clash with my decor or look much like clutter (kinda blends into the background.) This umbrella is basic and easy to pop open and also pull shut securely. The dome shape comes down far enough that the wind doesnt grab it and try to turn it inside out. I love that its totally clear for added visibility, because I dont get much of a shadow when I use it at night with just my porch lights on, and I can see what Im doing when I take my dogs out. The only downside is that this isnt one of those super compact umbrellas that folds down into itself, so its not the kind of thing Im planning to keep in the car or carry around with me much, but for home use, its stellar. Id definitely recommend it.

> 24 hourThis umbrella is lightweight and looks nice. It seems strong enough, but I havent tried it with heavy rain. Very easy to open and close, just pushing a button. Good rain coverage.

> 24 hourThis clear bubble umbrella is an excellent size for one adult or two children. The plastic is a nice thick material and the hardware is really sturdy. It opens and closes smoothly you can also wrap the plastic tie around when the umbrella is closed and button it securely so that it stores nicely. The design is really cute and as pictured.

> 24 hourI was waiting for awhile for it to rain and it finally did! This is a nice sturdy umbrella. i wasn’t too sure of the material because it is plastic, but it is strong when opened up;. My little one likes to use this so she can hug it and still see through it! It opens up with a push of the button but you have to pull the top down to close it. Decent umbrella.
