I only used it once and now I’m trying to use it again got won’t open

The inside graphic is really pretty, which is why I purchased this umbrella. However, three out of five times when I push the button to open the umbrella, it opens inverted, so I need to manually bring the spokes down (not a good thing when your hands are full and you’re getting wet from the rain). The handle also doesn’t seem very sturdy. I am not so sure about the windproof claim.

this umbrella was great for blocking the sun.

Almost every time I opened this umbrella it opened concave rather than convex (bowl versus dome). I bought two of these in different styles and was fighting with them every time we opened them. I had to try to flip the braces and when you got one side flipped the other side would flip back. It was maddening. I finally just threw them both away. Unless they do something to change the design of these where they will open properly, I would never buy this item again. I was too irritated to take photos to show what happened but wish that I had.

This umbrella is a small folding travel sized inverted umbrella. It is lighter than larger inverted umbrellas I’ve tried, but my husband will actually carry this one, as opposed to a larger one that is not convenient. The colors are appropriate for male, female, business or fun, and there is a nice traveling case that comes with it. This is also a great choice for the college student suddenly caught in a rain storm

It is very good ! Also the outside is black it is good for radiation protection. I like the pink color too. Thanks

Love that the design is all for me to enjoy!

I liked the idea of an upside down umbrella but wanted to get one with the cloud design underneath, so this fit the bill. The picture is very bright and the umbrella doesnt feel flimsy at all. I also liked that when open, this umbrella is a few inches winder than most travel umbrellas which is good because my last compact umbrella didnt quite cover me and my backpack, but this one does.My favorite part is actually that the button opens AND closes the umbrella. Very convenient. Just be careful when youre opening it because it really moves quick! The umbrella sleeve is great too. It fits tightly around the umbrella and seems waterproof, and I like that it has a zipper. The only thing I dont like about this umbrella is that to fully close it takes a lot of strength and effort, more so than any other umbrella Ive ever seen. I cant pull the umbrella down and get it to stay, so I actually have to press down from the top of the umbrella for it to click into place in the base. And because of the way its made with the auto-open feature, you have to open it from the base every time. You cant just close the top part, leave the handle long, and re-open it; it wont work. But now that I know that I really dont mind, and pushing down on the top of the umbrella to close it isnt really a big deal. I just cant figure out how to pull it closed. Otherwise, its a really great umbrella especially for the price!

Works perfect! The packaging was very elegant if this is for a gift. Umbrella seems to work as it should. Its very compact and the flower is as pictured. Thank you!

didnt last 1 year of nyc weather. blew inside out a lot, velcro to short, plastic ribs bent & it just fell & ripped apart, 30 mph winds proved to much ...
