I really like this umbrella, but it is difficult to close after the automated part and trying to get it small enough for the closure strap around it is close to impossible. It is really hard to squeeze it and thats with using my body and arms to squeeze it.

E Rarely do I ever write reviews but for this product I feel I needed to. I have a larger size of the inversion umbrella and absolutely love it. When I came across this small version, I knew I needed it. For the first few months I used the umbrella once and it worked perfectly fine. However, I live in a nice, dry area so it wasnt until recently that it rained again. Imagine my surprise when, after one use, I get out my car in the pouring rain to find that my umbrella will not open correctly! I ended up completely soaked. Now whenever it opens it flips inside out, as though the wind has caught it. I gave it two stars because when it worked it was lovely, now however its just a broken umbrella taking up space. Edit: I have been contacted by the seller and offered a replacement. Ill update the review after I receive the replacement.

Great idea,but sometimes mine doesnt want to release very easily. A really good size, bigger than I thought. Nice selection of colors

My fault didn’t read description close enough-wasn’t expecting plastic.

Material is of good quality. Third time that I used it the push button to open the umbrella failed to work. I have to open the umbrella manually.

Sometimes when I open it, the outer edges flip up and it takes a minute to get the umbrella to open up correctly.

Love my new umbrella! Cute pink color and nice case that zips. The way it folds did really help keep me from wet when getting in the car.

Ok I think Imight be in love with this umbrella. Definitely worth every penny. You push a button and it opens all the way for you. Push the same button and it releases so you can close it. It is very sturdy, very well made. I live in Chicago and definitely think it will hold up good on a rainy, windy day.

Very happy with the umbrella, nicely made and sturdy.

I only gave it 1 star because I had to. When I open the umbrella it’s inverted so the rain collects in the canopy and gets me wet. When I close it using the automatic closer it closes the canopy but I have to stand in the rain to collapse the handle. I have a couple of umbrellas so I didn’t use this umbrella in time to send it back for a refund.
