Just as I wanted.Delivered on time .Perfect

Nice construction (though the ribs are plastic...but that may provide some needed flexibility compared to metal), pops right open, and hey, it looks amazing. Oh yeah, it keeps the rain off of me, too...I guess thats kind of important, haha. I was just so distracted by the colors...! LOVE this thing!

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.

Broke the second time in use.

This is the first vented umbrella that I order. I tested out the strength a bit at the beach the other day and it wasnt exactly as strong as I was expecting it to be. It flipped inside out once a few seconds after I opened it. It was wobbling around quite a bit too. I tested a different umbrella at the same time. It wasnt vented like this one. It was inverted and supposed to be windproof. That one to me felt a bit more stable and stronger in the wind so I think I may take that one on my trip with me.

the order was for 2 these umbrellas but only got one

Twice I ordered the 2 pack and only received one umbrella. Now I have to return both orders. Super frustrating.

Works pretty well - hard to close

The important feature that was not mention in description of umbrella is that opens from a touch of button to release and deploy your umbrella shelter. I like the grip on the handle also.

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.
