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

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! ❤️

DIsappointed; will keep this in my car for rain emergencies.

Since several family members of my family have had skin cancer and I am fair skinned, I feel it is a good idea that I try to protect myself from the sun as much as possible, even in the northern U.S. I saw several of the Asian university students sporting shade umbrellas and thought it was a good idea. This one came recommended from other Amazon reviewers, so I ordered it. Sturdy, yet lightweight, it fits perfectly in my bag. It would be perfect if one is going to be strolling leisurely through a public garden or attending an outdoor concert in full sun. As I walked briskly along in the sun today, I did notice that it would not provide shade for one arm or the other depending on how I was holding the umbrella. It does provide excellent coverage otherwise; you cant see through the umbrella like you would an inexpensive rain only umbrella. The mechanism that opens and closes the umbrella is stiff, which is great as it should stay open when it is open and closed when it is suppose to be closed. The matching sleeve keeps the umbrella compact in your bag and the cloth (not plastic) carrying strap is a very nice feature. I am eager to see how it preforms in the rain.

YUP, just BROKE, unusable.

Its hard to be concise here because I love this parasol/umbrella so much! Im very sun sensitive and this is like taking tree shade along with me as I walk! Its just marvelous! Ive been liberated to let the dog decide when he wants to finish the walk rather than me getting too much sun and forcing him to turn back! The umbrella is extremely well constructed and very sturdy. Nothing gets through this, unlike most umbrellas these days, and it stands up to wind. If you need something for yourself, or to keep UV rays off your children or strollers... THIS IS THE ONE! Besides, with the Van Gogh design, its also very stylish!

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

This parasol is lovely, little larger than the other one I purchased so provides better cover. It pops up automatically and has a white lining. Much cooler than parasols with black lining. However, after using a couple times, the center post is much shorter and not as easy to hold and move around when walking; It keeps bumping my head it is so short. So far, it is extremely hard to close. Perhaps I just havent figured the knack of closing it, but does not close easily. Even though it is larger, think I like the smaller circumference parasol better. The white underside is definitely cooler than black for walking in the sun.

Its nice and sturdy, and as someone warned in the reviews beforehand, it does have the tendency to POP open very abruptly that it can startle you. I have yet to use it under the sun, but I can tell its good material and thicker than a normal umbrella.

The print is very slightly pixelated, which honestly you wont really notice. The underside is lined with a silver fabric which is cool, I bought this for rain but it looks like it could easily shield me from the hot sun. The size of it is perfect and it seems sturdy. You do have to put some force into getting it to collapse so this may not be suitable for people with hand or wrist troubles. Otherwise for the price, its lovely and I really like it. Thanks!

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.
