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

The handle is just too short. Also, there was no UV info that came with the product, which was the reason I purchased it in the first place. I need UV protection for medical reasons, and the lack of information wasnt reassuring.

Ive had this parasol for about 3 months, used it every day since I live in a very sunny place and was very happy with it. It felt very sturdy and protected me extremely well from the sun, since the fabric is quite opaque (unlike regular umbrellas). A few days ago I noticed a plastic part broke and I cant use it anymore :(

Ive bought this item a few times in the past, and each time, I could use it daily (I use it both in the rain and as a parasol on sunny days) for a long time. However, this last time I purchased it, it was slightly different from before (i.e., a bit more lightweight and the fastener is now a button rather than Velcro). I was fine with the changes until the cord snapped two weeks after I got it (thankfully, it was only drizzling at the time and not a heavy rain). This is a very pretty umbrella, so its upsetting that its now so poorly constructed. UPDATE TO THE ABOVE REVIEW: The defective umbrella actually still works, but once in a while it would suddenly collapse as described in my first review. I then have to close it completely and open it again (and then itll work fine until the next time it collapses by itself). However, I actually got a replacement for the defective one, and havent had any issues with the new one. So maybe the defect is just a fluke? Overall, I have to say this is still one of the prettiest and most useful umbrella/parasols Ive bought on Amazon. I do carry a parasol every day (Im very conscientious about sun protection!), so have tried several different ones from different sellers, but I keep going back to this one.

This is the second umbrella Ive bought from this company. First one was the yellow flower. I had it for over a year and I broke it during this horrible rain weve had here in Texas. I closed the car door on the shaft and that was all it took. I was really sad about it to. I bought this one from the same company because these are very sturdy umbrellas that fold down neatly and fit in my purse. I mainly bought it for the colors and uniqueness but was thrilled with the good quality and would recommend them to anyone.

This parasol is lovely, little larger than the other one I purchased so provides better cover. It pops up automatically and has a white lining. Much cooler than parasols with black lining. However, after using a couple times, the center post is much shorter and not as easy to hold and move around when walking; It keeps bumping my head it is so short. So far, it is extremely hard to close. Perhaps I just havent figured the knack of closing it, but does not close easily. Even though it is larger, think I like the smaller circumference parasol better. The white underside is definitely cooler than black for walking in the sun.

Was diagnosed with malignant Melanoma, so Im planning on using this parasol for added protection against further problems. Have only used it 2 times, so thats why I couldnt give it 5 stars yet, but it seems to be holding up okay so far! Love, love the impressionistic flower design! Does feel a little cooler underneath too.

I love this umbrella so much that I purchased a second one! The Van Gogh print is beautiful. The umbrella is strong enough to use in the rain and also protects me from the suns harmful rays. The open and close switch on the handle make it so easy to use. Edwards gal

This is a Wonderful Umbrella with 100% UV Protection. Great Value Pricewise, and Absolutely Beautiful! Everyone who views my Umbrella wants one and women scold themselves for not bringing one with them with them to all Events. I gave it a 4 Star Rating because it is not comfortable in a crowded venue as it is a Large Umbrella, and most importantly to me, not easy to get open and closed easily. Please understand, it is very Off Balanced in my hands, as I have had the Carpal Tunnel Surgery, but, still cannot balance this Umbrella well. I am now trying to find the same quality and attractiveness in a smaller Umbrella. I truly hope this helps yall in making a decision? So glad I have this Umbrella, while Im searching for another one! P. S. I am so Greatful to own this Umbrella!

YUP, just BROKE, unusable.

I bought this umbrella as I needed a lightweight travel version mostly for sun protection. I wanted something I could keep at the office or carry in my bag as I walk around town or to/from work. It doesnt offer that much sun protection. I can feel the sun rays penetrating through and it doesnt feel cooler under it at all (unlike my Sun Tek golf umbrella). This may work well for light rain, but any gust of wind will tug on the umbrella. The seller did reach out to me and provided an option for a refund because this didnt meet my expectations which was more than generous. In my view, theyre up front about their product and its not their fault Im highly sun sensitive and was looking for something more. It has a great pattern, and is small and portable, so it depends on your intended use.
