1.0 out of 5 stars Unreliable, October 25, 2005

This umbrella seemed to withstand wind gusts, but after four uses the automatic open function stopped working. Worse is that it would no longer lock open, even if I pushed it open manually.

I tried taking it out in the rain anyway with the canopy open but unlocked, and after taking two steps the canopy automatically collapsed, because it is designed to fold-up when unlocked. That part still worked. So now the umbrella is completely useless unless I want to use one hand to hold the handle, and one hand above my head to hold the canopy open.

I was skeptical of an umbrella that opens and closes automatically with a push of the same button. My next one will be fully manual.

1.0 out of 5 stars broken on first or second use, May 19, 2006

I bought 3 of these umbrellas because they are small and handy. One broke the first time I opened it, the other two broke after just a couple of uses.

What is breaking is the auto open/close mechanism. It has a plastic connector that breaks off within the first couple of times using the umbrella. Then not only is the automatic feature broken, but also you cannot lock the umbrella open. Making it useless.

I was going to return the first umbrella for a replacement, but when the other two broke right away, then I see that it is a problem with the design, so a replacement does me no good. They will all break the same way.

I'm looking for a different umbrella.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible, October 19, 2005

I got this umbrella for Christmas. The company mistakenly sent two so I gave the second away. Big mistake. My umbrella lasted only 3 uses and then got stuck in the open position. I took advantage of the lifetime warranty, sent it back and received a similar London Fog umbrella as a replacement. This one lasted for 4 uses and then got stuck in the closed position. An incredible disappointment. I've heard that Windbrella makes better windproof umbrellas.
