Awesome!
April 12, 2018
So, I'm 33 and the fact that someone thought to redesign the classic umbrella to be more functional blew my mind. And I will say that the way this one looks when it's rolled up still seems odd to me, but my god, it's so functional! I live in Ohio, where spring is just a constant barrage of cold rain and wind. This umbrella is incredibly helpful for dealing with these conditions and I am so happy that I decided to buy it. It opens and closes easily, it's lightweight, and the design on the inside makes me hate everything just a little bit less. I paid $10 more for an umbrella that was rated well on Amazon that takes both hands and all my strength to close, so this one definitely wins.

Revised Review
I ordered this umbrella in June 2018. Within 3-4 uses, the tips at the end of the ribs started breaking off. I noticed they were soldered together very poorly. I used tape to hold the ends together. After several more uses, the umbrella stopped opening completely. Half the umbrella would open while the other half jammed up. Now, one of the joints between the stretcher and the rib has broken and poked through the underside of the umbrella. This turned out to be a costly piece of junk. After 4 months of occasional use, it is useless. If I could still return it, I would.

I was so hopeful for this product. I received it toward end of July but we had no significant rain until middle of August. I literally tried to open the umbrella and the spokes from the umbrella pierced through the fabric and that is when I noticed the frame of the umbrella was plastic and not metal. I was unable to open it fully again. It was disappointing to say the least.

I was so looking forward to receiving this umbrella as we have an entire week of rain predicted but this is by far one of the WORST umbrellas I have ever owned. First it is NOT an automatic. You push the button and it opens just a little and you have to push it to fully open it. Second it is inverted as to keep you and your car from getting wet but it poured water out of the end that was suppose to hold the water in getting me and my car soaked. I will be shopping around in hopes of finding a better quality intervertebral umbrella but buyer beware do not buy this one.

I was using it for a sun shade at work for taking people outside in the sunshine to look at granite slabs stored outside. No wind, no rain, and it broke after 5-6 uses. The handle pulled right out of the umbrella.

Right out of the box it was broken! Didn't even take the wrapping off. Returned. Will not buy again and would note recommend.

Not worth the money. Bought a few weeks ago and used it for the first time today. Used before getting on the bus and then after getting off the bus. Second time I open it, the top part rips and one of the rods is broken and almost protrudes through the top black layer. I'm so mad that I paid 20 dollars for this. I might as well have bought a 4 dollar umbrella from a bodega and it still would have held up better. I like the concept of an inverted umbrella so may try a different brand but I do NOT recommend buying this brand. So cheaply made. I used it for 15 minutes max, once. And I already need to look for a replacement. Unbelievable.

Package arrived today. Opened it to test out. One of the spokes was bent as soon as I took it out of the carrier. Opened to see if it would still work, the spoke Brooke and the fabric folded back. Would like an exchange of the same umbrella.

First rainy day, and the unbrella won’t open. It will not open at all. I have tried to have others help me, and no one can open it. The fiberglass things are bent inside. Worst umbrella.

Handle has already broken off. Extremely poor quality for the price. Maybe used 2 or 3 times.
