Automatic Umbrella, GLODEALS Creative Oil Painting Automatic Folding Umbrella Anti UV Sunblock Umbrella Sun Protection Parasol Rain/Sun Umbrella for Ladies (Almond Blossom)

This was a great sun protector and it worked beautifully in the rain as well. Had to get use to the buttons which open it up and close it -The button to close the umbrella only closes the umbrella part, Then you have to push it down into the handle. A little awkward, but it worked. The sun protection was what I really got it for and it met my expectations.

I purchased 2 of Glodeals Van Gogh Masterpiece Oil Painting Auto-open & mostly easy-enough to close parasol / umbrella. Both of them popped open forcefully, so, be careful that you dont stand too close to anyone when opening them, since they could be used unintentionally as a weapon! That aside, the artwork is quite nice. All I really cared about was making sure that it/they were strong enough to withstand wind (Ill be on any island); lightweight enough (Ill be using one or the other as a parasol), and...I hesitate to call it a parasol style-wise, though, it says it offers UV-protection, and, since it will provide shade, it technically blocks the sun, anyway. So long as it hold out (Im keeping one aside to use as an umbrella, when back on the mainland).

This is my second time purchasing this umbrella. I live in the cancer belt Texas. This umbrella had a reflective material on the inside and beautiful pattern on the outside. Ive used regular umbrellas before this for sun shade but I could feel the heat beat down on me while Im under it. To me, I feel less heat coming down to me with this umbrella. My last one has lasted all last year and should have lasted longer but my two toddlers got ahold of it. It snapped at the plastic area of one of the arms. My major complaint is that the string at the handle is too short to put around your wrist. Its short and seemingly made just for the purpose of hanging on a hook. No bueno when my hands are full with two toddlers. Edit: the new versions of these umbrellas now have a larger strap attached. I can thread my hand through. Its still not elastic though.

My chinese mama loves it for blocking sunlight and rain. Uses it everyday. Been a month and half, still in good use. Im happy for the results given the low price.

This is an absolutely a lovely umbrella! So far, Im glad I took a chance on this and didnt buy a traditional plain black or blue umbrella. It appears to be sturdy enough to to withstand windy weather. I love the color. Ive seen the comments about the picture appearing pixelated, but I dont see that at all. The colors are vibrant and clear. Really looking forward to using it in the rain and sunshine.

I had one of these for a long time. The rib - that rigid piece that bends when it opens and closes - broke. I ordered a new one and it arrived w the rib broken! Had to return. Mixed bag. Good umbrella with a vulnerability.

Im back to purchase my second Glodeals Almond Blossoms Van Gough print rain/sun umbrella. Have had compliments on how pretty it is and no sunburn while using it. I agree with another reviewer who found it difficult to close. Please read and study instructions in the description on how to open and close. It is opened and closed with the simple press of the up or down button on the handle. Once the canopy is down, (and the umbrella is partially closed,) I have to press the center of the top against a wall and then push the handle forward to completely close it. It is compact enough to carry in a tote bag or large purse. Now that I understand how to operate it I expect it last for years. It works very well for rain too.

YUP, just BROKE, unusable.

I love this parasol. I use it when we walk to lunch (20 minutes each way in midday sun) and it is wonderful. It stands up to a 15-20 MPH (24-32 KPH) wind if you tip it into the wind; youll feel it but the parasol wont turn inside out on you.

I used it to my trip to Australia and New Zealand. UV protection is the main reason that I bought this umbrella. Before the trip, I tested it with a UV light - it blocks all UV lights. It looks beautiful too. Auto open and close are a plus. I recommend it.
