First impressions when I first opened the packaging was this is going to be a good purchase. And it is, well, sort of. Basically two issues make this an just okay purchase. And for an umbrella, how can you screw one up? Well, the first thing is a trigger activates a very strong spring loaded piston or something and when it opens after you press that trigger, and it does take a bit of force to press that trigger, the umbrella fires open like its been shot out of a cannon. Anybody in its way is going to take a hit. So you want to be careful you dont point this at something or someone when opening it. Maybe it calms down after a few uses, I should hope so. The second issue is closing the umbrella. Its hard to do. That same spring makes it difficult enough you have no choice but to follow the instructions and this is where whomever designed this umbrella using such a strong spring is nuts. The instructions say to close the umbrella to first press the button trigger, the same one that opens the umbrella. Then grab the top ring of the umbrella, and no not the inside ring, but the outer one or atthe very top of the umbrella. And then you press the umbrella down till you hear a click and the umbrella will stay closed. Well, guess what? Most of us use the umbrella when its been raining. And to that end the top of the umbrella is wet of course. So closing the umbrella means using your whole arm to force the umbrella back into its closed position which leaves your arm wet. Its just plain stupid that you cant use the inside ring to pull the umbrella closed to lock it back in the closed position. If it wasnt for the last issue Id give the umbrella a good four or five stars. BTW, when the umbrella is opened its very taut and easily pulls and tugs if the wind is blowing; something else you want to watch out for when using this umbrella. Like I said, its an okay purchase but Id shoot for something better.

Love the size and vibrant colors, everything I was hoping for. Would definitely repurchase.

I really like how strong this umbrella is. It is not the lightest or most compact umbrella on the market, but this one will likely outlast most other compact umbrellas. I also like the clever wind valve, sewn-in flaps that will open and let air pass before the wind turns the umbrella inside out. I appreciate the solid construction and expect this one to be more durable than many of my past, now damaged compact umbrellas.

The umbrella works as expected. It’s larger than I thought it would be, but that’s good for me. I haven’t had the chance to test it against the wind but it works well in heavy rain.

This umbrella was actually bigger and heavier than expected. The windproof functionality actually works really well. The auto-open is pretty easy, but auto-closing it is a little difficult. You need to press hard on the button. It takes quite a bit of force to retract the umbrella after closing too. My wife had trouble with getting it closed and stored. Other than that, its always nice to have an umbrella for the car.

Great umbrella

This is a well made umbrella that automatically opens and closes. The ribs of the umbrella are strong and ridgid. I think they will last a long time. It is a little heavier than most foldable compact umbrellas but I think it is the thickness and durability of the canopy.

Title says it all. Ordered 2 and received 1.

Purchased a few weeks ago and already its broken. Would like a refund or a new umbrella.

So I paid for two but I only got one. I am hoping the seller contacts me and sends me another one. The one umbrella is really nice.
