totes Titan Compact Travel Umbrella, Windproof, Water Repellent Auto Open/Close , Black

goood!!!

It is easy to use and is light.

I have bought two of these. the first one worked like a champ and will do so again as you will see in a minute. The first one has a broken rib so it dangles a bit when opened, so i decided to get a second one, and use the first as a back up. So i get the second one, and have used it for about a month though not as often as the first. All went well, until last night. i had opened it when i got home to let it dry out. i went to close it, and when i pressed the button, it did something to the whole mechanism and i could not get the darn thing closed. or reset. or anything. it is now in the trash bin.Okay, i understand that things break, it is the way of things, especially anymore, but considering the price, which while not stratospheric it does pinch a bit, i would have expected better. Heck, i would have expected better from the Totes brand. I have lost many an umbrella, but this is the first one i have owned that just flat out packed it in. i take the bus. had it pulled those stunts there, it would have been a mess....

I can get a better umbrella for that price.

I had a smaller version of this automatic umbrella so I really like that feature along with the durability of the material that this umbrella is made from. I have always bought Totes as I am always sold on the durability of the umbrella and the sizes that cater to my necessity.

Great for Tucking in your pocket when you dont know what kind of weather to expect

They said it withstands winds up to 70 mph. I had a previous umbrella that said that, but it did not work! The previous umbrella I had from Macys would open and close, but was very hard to push in and one day after coming home out of the rain, I threw it down the trash chute! I will respond again after using this Totes for a while. UPDATE: I USED THE UMBRELLA FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY. IT IS A DECENT SIZE, BUT IT DOES NOT LOOK STRONG AND I AM SURE IT CANNOT STAND STRONG WINDS BECAUSE AN EARLIER BOUGHT UMBRELLA, WHICH WAS STRONGER, COULD NOT STAND THE WIND. ALSO, OPEN AND CLOSE UMBRELLAS ARE NOT GOOD FOR SENIORS OR SOMEONE WHO IS WEAK IN THE ARMS BECAUSE IT IS ALSO HARD TO PUSH IN. AND, YOU HAVE TO PUSH IT IN BEFORE YOU CAN MAKE IT GO UP AGAIN BECAUSE I TRIED IT YESTERDAY. I CLOSE BY PUSHING HANDLE INTO CHEST OR WITH BOTH HANDS IF I AM NOT CARRYING ANYTHING. I DONT LIKE TO CARRY AROUND LONGER UMBRELLAS, SO I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THESE SMALLER ONES. WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT, THEY USED TO SELL UMBRELLAS THAT WERE A LITTLE LONGER, LARGER AND STRONGER. I WILL HAVE TO LOOK FOR ONE OF THOSE. MY MOTHER HAS A DUCK FACED ONE, WHICH IS LARGER THAN THIS ONE. SO, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS UMBRELLA FOR STRONG WINDS! FINALLY, AFTER USING UMBRELLA AGAIN, I WILL HAVE TO LOOK FOR A LONG AND BIGGER UMBRELLA. I WAS GETTING VERY WET TODAY BECAUSE THE UMBRELLA HARDLY GIVES ANY PROTECTION. I WILL NOT BUY ANY MORE SMALL UMBRELLAS, ESPECIALLY ONES THAT OPEN AND CLOSE WITH SAME BUTTON. THEY ARE A PAIN!!! PEOPLE WALKED PAST ME TODAY WITH THE EXTRA LARGE ONES THAT NEED TO BE ON A BEACH!!!

Really responsive and effective, even though we didnt have to test it in high winds.

Excellent product--good coverage and wind resistance, with just the right amount of resistance when closing--all at a very good price. I bought this after being disappointed with another, more expensive, brand.

Sturdy small umbrella. The auto close doesnt really close it but gets the close process well started with a push of the button.
