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

I bought this umbrella to use on vacation in New Orleans, for rain and sun protection. It worked wonderfully for both! The automatic mechanism is easy to use; just read the directions. The design is beautiful, and the sun protection was excellent. My daughter used this one and it kept her from wilting in the 95 degree heat. I would buy this again if I needed another and would recommend it to a friend.

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.

It was a Christmas gift for my Granddaughter & she loved it.

Good quality. The colour is not as bright as in the picture, it is actually darker and duller, but is still a nice design and offers good sun protection.

Slightly heavy but as others described - the picture is beautiful, the underneath is silverish grey. Its lighter than other UV blocking umbrellas. Opening is great but closing requires some effort. The length when folded is pretty small so its easy to carry. Overall I am happy with the purchase!

I use this every day on my walks to and from work, and it protects me from the brutal Florida sun. My only regret is the handle, it is 2 in length, not enough to get a good comfortable grip while on a lengthy walk. Also, previous reviews said that getting it back into the carry bag was difficult, and I agree completely, the bag is useless.

This umbrella is a game-changer. I bought it thinking Id be too embarrassed to use a parasol in public that it would be left unused in my closet. I was so wrong, this is a very beautiful parasol and it really has switched me from being lackadaisical about heading out into the sun to looking forward to sunny days so I can sport my parasol. Its definitely a fashion accessory and Ive gotten compliments from various women of all ages. I also love that I am getting adequate sun protection without having to wear sunscreen (I just dont like wearing it). The only reason I didnt give this five stars is because the connection between the handle and the shaft wobbles when faced with a mild breeze. It doesnt inhibit the parasols ability to maintain its shape but it does make me think twice about using the parasol when its breezy outside. I imagine if the model had slits in the design to allow for wind flow, this problem would be minimized.

This umbrella is well made and really beautiful. I just keep it in my purse for rainy/sunny days. Its easier to close if you pull down the piece that extends the umbrella and press the top of the umbrella towards a hard surface until you hear it click.

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.

This umbrella is lightweight but at the same time strong and efficient! It’s also colorful and fun!
