sungrubbies UV Travel Sun Umbrella Lightweight UPF 50 Auto Open Close, Compact Silver Vent Wind Resistant Travel Friendly

Great quality

Good for when walking outdoors, esp. in Florida. Not a time goes by that I am not stopped and asked where I bought it. Def. recommend.

This is a very nice, sturdy, and properly sized umbrella. Some umbrellas like this are very large and tedious to carry. Not this one. Also, the material is of high quality and is very effective in shielding you from the suns rays.

1 Star. (SEE UPDATE BELOW and excuse long review but needed). At first, umbrella seemed to be just right and worked fine. About a week ago, it wouldnt close. It seems to be jammed in a stuck open position no and no matter how hard I try (short of breaking it), it will not close. Three weeks and it no longer works? What the heck! It is now useless because how do you go around town trying to enter/exit car or stores with a umbrella that will not close. Today, I have contacted seller through Amazon, explained the situation, and asked for a replacement or refund. Although with a replacement, I run the risk of ending up with the same issue. Well see. I will update this post as to whether or not seller resolves this problem fairly. If they do not, I will highly recommend against buying this item and describe in more detail its apparent poor/cheap design. Yes, it is only a $20 umbrella but who would expect it to only work for 3 weeks before going bad. If not for this issue, I would have given this product at least 4 stars because its a great sun protection device and a perfect size. For now though, I just gave away $25 bucks for nothing (yet). UPDATE: 4 stars. Great customer service! Just two days afters my initial complaint submittal a new, replacement umbrella has arrive at my doorstep. Sun Grubbies customer service contacted me one day after my complaint, apologized, and said a replacement would be out asap. So to their credit, they backed up their merchandise and proved to be a reliable, trustworthy company. I would surely do business with them again. Regarding the umbrella. The replacement seems to work just fine and I will, to be on the safe side, open and close it extra gently in hopes that I dont encounter the same problem as before (not that I caused it). I will give benefit of the doubt that the first umbrella going bad on me was a fluke. Where as my initial rating was 1 star (see above), my new rating (which includes great customer service)is now a legit 4 stars. Umbrella open/closes fine, provides great sun protection, its not too heavy, it looks like a sun umbrella, and it appears decently built - time will tell. No problem recommending a buy for this item. UPDATE #2 (9-24-12): Still 4 stars! Have had this umbrella for over a year not and it still works great. I do though open and close it with attention to how Im doing it to be sure I dont inadvertently jam it or force it. I always use the attached strap to secure it close and then toss it in the back seat of my car to be prepared for the next sun scorching day. I still recommend this item and would buy it again should the need arise.

It is light and protect you from the ultra violets rays. Also it is light and confortable

The umbrella is flimsy and wabbles around the handle part almost like it’ll fall off soon. It’s also really difficult to close, I needed both hands and it was still hard. The coverage part was really great, it’s just built poorly and not very efficient. I will be returning it.

Its perfect for being out in the sun on a warm day. The open/close button is easy to use.

I had purchased it in Sept. 2022. In March 2023, one of the supporting aluminum ribs snapped and broke off. It prevented the opening and closing of the umbrella. Upon contacting the Seller SunGrubbies, I got an immediate response via Amazon link asking me to send the Order Number and my shipping address. I immediately supplied the information, but all of a sudden, the Seller went on radio silence! I followed up twice more but got absolutely no response for a while, but did get back to me to take care care of the situation to my complete satisfaction. Mater of fact, the replacement item got damaged in shipping, so they send me replacement item for that again. Its a company that I am very glad to say that they stood behind their promise of lifetime warranty. I will be more than happy to buy their item again.
