I received this item discounted in
exchange for my honest review.
I live in “sunny” Florida
(laughable), I say that because although they call us “sunny” Florida, I think
we should really be named extremely hot, humid, and erratic weather Florida
since you never know what the weathers going to bring! One things for sure, if
there’s even a slight chance for rain, IT’S 100% GOING TO RAIN!!! So no matter
if you’re a new Floridian learning the ropes or a born and raised veteran to
the Florida weather you will always find yourself in need of a stock supply of
umbrellas; until now!!
I have always had to make sure
that each one of my family members had an umbrella with them at all times and
then a back-up for when that when fails, this becomes extremely expensive and
takes up a lot of room that I could use in our storage space. The reason why
I’ve always had to do this was because it normally doesn’t matter if I spent $1
on the umbrella or $50 on it, eventually it would fail like all the others and
then me, or someone else in the family, would end drenched, cold, and extremely
unhappy with yet another umbrella that became garbage! They would either not be
able to take the wind and shot straight up (like you see in the movies), the metal
would eventually wear out and/or rust and the umbrella would give us a hard
time opening and closing, or the skinny metal rods that hold the umbrella open
would become weak overtime and break! Either way, they all sucked! So when I
had the opportunity to review this umbrella, before ever even knowing what it
was all about, I automatically said “YES” because just recently I lost another
umbrella to the trash can and we are starting to run out of my stock at this
point!
First, I want to talk about the
color. I really wanted the color black at first; unfortunately, it’s first come
first serve and I snoozed and lost out of the black, so my second choice was
red and it was gone before I could get it too, so I decided to go with the
yellow color; believe it or not, I’m pretty sure I would’ve actually selected
this color as my first choice if it weren’t for me being worried about the
shade of yellow pictured on Amazon.
The Amazon picture looked as if the
yellow color was dull looking, a much softer color yellow. I would’ve preferred
a brighter yellow, not neon bright, but just cheerful looking! The good news is
that it was the exact shade of yellow I wanted! Actually, this yellow is
probably nicer than what I could’ve ever imagined!
This umbrella was like something I
could’ve ever imagined and I can say for sure that I’ve never used an umbrella
like this at all! It comes in its own sleeve like many umbrellas do and it has
a small wrap around tag to keep the umbrella snuggly together with a Velcro attachment.
Once you’re ready to use the umbrella all you have to do is take it out of the
sleeve and unwrap it then push the button and voila, it completely opens on its
own! When you’re done using it all you have to do is re-push the same button and
it closes up, all that left to do it push it the rest of the way down to lock
it, wrap it up and attach the Velcro and then slide it back into the sleeve!
I also found that this umbrella is
extremely strong and can withstand quite a bit! It’s already gone through the
rain and wind challenge of Florida and survived! I can honestly say that this isn’t
the kind of umbrella I am going to have to replace in a year or two, this is an
umbrella that will survive a lifetime! It’s worth every penny and I will be
purchasing a few more for my husband and kids to have as well! Very satisfied
and would highly recommend it!!
