totes Automatic Eco Open Close Water-Resistant Travel Folding Umbrella with Sun Protection

Lost a star for not being as big as I thought it was going to be. Only used once so far. Will update more.

I had to wait to be able to use the Totes Auto Open Close Umbrella with SunGuard because it had been dry in Maryland for a while. I finally got the chance to use this lovely umbrella recently. It has the usual Totes high quality of workmanship. It actually is an automatic open and close umbrella, not like the ones that seem to jam up during a downpour. It is cute, too. If you need a new umbrella (and you probably do), buy the Totes Auto Open Close Umbrella with Sun Guard. Or if you need a gift for one of those weird Christmas exchanges where youre not sure who you are buying for, this is a great gift idea.

Dries fast but not sturdy in any wind.

As luck would have it, it rained for two solid days after I received this umbrella, so I got to test it out right away! I was rather skeptical, but having had the opportunity to use this umbrella and my old one for two days, I must say, it really works. I tracked in MUCH less water into my car when using this umbrella. Its compact and attractive to look at. I only gave it four stars just because I wasnt able to test the sunblock feature.

My pretty Totes umbrella just arrived, in time for Hurricane Ida whose remnants will visit New Jersey tomorrow when I have to go out. The big test for me was can I close it and collapse it easily. The last automatic umbrella I had was so hard to collapse that I had to push it against a wall to collapse it. Really hard when its pouring and youre trying to get in your car. As soon as I opened this one, I was so happy to find that when I pushed the button it opened to a size that will keep me dry and when I pushed the button to close it and I pushed the bottom, it collapsed easily, and I didnt have to use brute strength that I dont have. Thanks Totes, this one is a winner. This New Jersey great grandmother approves.

Love this umbrella

A great umbrella! Ive had a Totes umbrella for almost 20 years now, so I trust this companys quality. This one is attractive, and opens and closes by itself (put you do have to push it down back by hand to close the handle.) Its not the rainy season here yet, but I tried it in my shower, and the water does roll off quickly. It also makes a great shade parasol. Its not very large, so definitely for one person only. But its small enough to fit in a tote bag or most briefcases.

Imagine opening a $20 umbrella during a downpour, only to find out its broken. I originally gave 5 stars...until I opened it. How is a sealed umbrella already broken??? Not happy.

It was received broken. I used it once and it fell apart

Very nice product. I have always liked the totes umbrella, but this one is especially nice. Very attractive pattern, appears quite sturdy and is a nice size...not to big to fold compactly, yet big enough to keep the user dry. AS to the Stay Dry fabric , appears to work nicely, sheading the rain nicely. 5 star umbrella!
