Automatic Umbrella, GLODEALS Creative Oil Painting Automatic Folding Umbrella Anti UV Sunblock Umbrella Sun Protection Parasol Rain/Sun Umbrella for Ladies (Almond Blossom)

I was standing under a hot sun one day waiting for a bus and thought to myself that there must surely be a parasol on sale that I could use. Sure enough, I found this pretty parasol complete with UV protection lining which also helps block the heat from the sun. It took a bit of bravery to use it on the streets of San Francisco, but hey, when youre roasting, its nice to be able to provide your own private haven. :)

My chinese mama loves it for blocking sunlight and rain. Uses it everyday. Been a month and half, still in good use. Im happy for the results given the low price.

The design is very pretty. So far the open and close button works very well. You do have to push the umbrella in a little to close it all the way- it takes two hands for me.

Great but mine has holes in it. I think where it bends, the umbrella fabric just rubbed & created a hole. So it was odd when I opened it & I could feel the rain. But the underside is silver & completely blocks out the sun which is another reason why I ordered this. I guess I will use it for a parasol more.

I like to take walks on breaks at work. That puts me in the sun at the most UV intense time of the day. This umbrella provides portable shade for my walks. No chemical sunblock needed. Its pretty, easy to open and close, and withstands windy conditions quite nicely.

I love this umbrella. I am allergic to the sun and I use it when watering my flowerbeds. It is light weight, resists breezes and is cool.

Lovely umbrella. Pros: offers excellent protection for those with photosensitivity like myself. Small, compact and easy to take with you. Cons: Because its an automatic umbrella, it can close when you arent expecting it if you touch the button while holding the handle. Secondly, if it does close unexpectedly, you must then reset the mechanism by pushing the canopy back into the handle before opening it again. This seems to be a design flaw with all umbrellas of this size with automatic function. That being the case, its a beautiful umbrella that give great coverage.

Horrible umbrella/parasol. Horrible customer service. First of all, this is listed for rain and sun but it doesnt block out the rain. The first time I used it, raindrops leaked through the seams and directly on to my head. It was a mildly rainy day, not stormy nor windy. I couldnt believe that it was so poorly designed. Secondly, the button on the side doesnt work to close the umbrella. It is labeled to automatically close, but upon pushing the button, only the top shuts and the metal shaft remains extended. It wouldnt be so bad except that it is exceedingly hard to close it by hand. Even my husband had to use two hands to try and close it and he was struggling. Third, it is very heavy and uncomfortable. Its by far, the heaviest umbrella, Ive ever had. I would have never bought it if I held it in a store. It does not fit comfortably in a purse and even if it did, it would weigh the whole thing down. Worst of all, when I wrote to the seller about all these problems, I was completely ignored. It truly shows they are just trying to make a quick profit and dont care about their customers. They cant even take the time to send a basic response. I have no use for this umbrella. I am completely unsatisfied. You cannot rely on this product and you cannot rely on this company.

I bought this umbrella to use on vacation in New Orleans, for rain and sun protection. It worked wonderfully for both! The automatic mechanism is easy to use; just read the directions. The design is beautiful, and the sun protection was excellent. My daughter used this one and it kept her from wilting in the 95 degree heat. I would buy this again if I needed another and would recommend it to a friend.

I use this every day on my walks to and from work, and it protects me from the brutal Florida sun. My only regret is the handle, it is 2 in length, not enough to get a good comfortable grip while on a lengthy walk. Also, previous reviews said that getting it back into the carry bag was difficult, and I agree completely, the bag is useless.
