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

This is my second time purchasing this umbrella. I live in the cancer belt Texas. This umbrella had a reflective material on the inside and beautiful pattern on the outside. Ive used regular umbrellas before this for sun shade but I could feel the heat beat down on me while Im under it. To me, I feel less heat coming down to me with this umbrella. My last one has lasted all last year and should have lasted longer but my two toddlers got ahold of it. It snapped at the plastic area of one of the arms. My major complaint is that the string at the handle is too short to put around your wrist. Its short and seemingly made just for the purpose of hanging on a hook. No bueno when my hands are full with two toddlers. Edit: the new versions of these umbrellas now have a larger strap attached. I can thread my hand through. Its still not elastic though.

I have used the umbrella about three times and so far I find it easy to use, to open it you press the up arrow to close it you press the down arrow and hold the handle with one hand and press from the top with the other hand. I just wish the umbrella was bigger to cover more. I gave four stars for sturdiness for the moment.

The handle is just too short. Also, there was no UV info that came with the product, which was the reason I purchased it in the first place. I need UV protection for medical reasons, and the lack of information wasnt reassuring.

This is a beautiful umbrella. I havent really had a chance to use it yet, but once my current umbrella bites the dust, I plan to put it into action. I did check it to make sure it works properly opening & closing, which it does. Living in SW Florida, my umbrellas get used a lot for both rain & sun protection, so Ive found I always need to keep one in reserve as a back-up for when I either lose the current umbrella, or the current umbrella breaks.

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 live in a very hot climate, with the burning African sun. This umbrella helps a lot during the day! Very good sun- and heat- protection compared to my other ordinary umbrellas. Works fine for the rain as well. The automatic opening is so handy. I have been using it for a year already, and it still looks great and works perfectly fine. This is a wonderful purchase! ❤️

Havent had a chance to use this in the rain, but Im liking it for use to keep the sun off. Its pretty and I enjoy looking at it when I open it up. the opening and closing mechanism is easy to use and the umbrella seems very well made. Its great sun protection that covers far more than a hat and doesnt mess up my hair.

Honestly, I was amazed when the umbrella arrived because its much sturdier and higher quality than I was anticipating for the price. I just thought it would look pretty and be a nice alternative to offer guests, but the colors are beautiful and it will be replacing my go-to. I love the auto-close feature because I dont have to stick my hand back out into the rain from a car or door, especially handy when carrying a purse and other items. Very pleased with my purchase!

Love the design but not the structure of this umbrella. It is hard to open and close. It is not very sturdy and the handle is not comfortable. I gave it 3 stars because it does protect me from light rain. Even if I were to use it for more sun protection than rain, it still does not open and close easily.

Beautiful, blocks UV, but not all IR. I was looking for something that didnt have a black underside, and opened with a button push. This answered both wants - but lets through more heat than my parasol with the shiny black lining. If you dont mind the heat, this is a 5-star
