TradMall Travel Umbrella, Black

This is the best umbrella I've owned. It's an amazingly good value for the money. I got the 46" canopy with 10 reinforced fiberglass ribs. It opens smoothly and quickly and collapses just as fast with the press of a button! I really like the ergonomic handle. I've found that I can hold this umbrella for long periods of time without fatigue. It's wind resistance is quite good. I've used the umbrella in winds up to 20 mph so far, with no adverse incidents. I'll have to see how it behaves with stronger wind gusts, but so far so good. I'm a big guy (190 cm, 85 kilos - 6'3", 185 lbs, with broad shoulders) and have often gotten wet using smaller umbrellas. But this TradMall 46" umbrella works like a charm in keeping me dry even in driving rain. I highly recommend this umbrella. I'm going to buy three more, one for my husband and a couple to keep in our car in case of unexpected downpours.

This is a very good umbrella for the price. It's sturdy and well made, doesn't feel cheap, and the open/close mechanism is responsive and quick. It provides good coverage without being huge and hard to walk around with, folds up to a pretty compact size, and the handle is comfortable to hold. It's easy to get back into the slip it comes in, and I like the elastic cord that I can sling around my wrist while holding it. I'm really happy with it overall. I really want to highlight the outstanding customer service of TradMall. They stand behind their product, and care about customer satisfaction. I had this umbrella for over a year, and had used it quite a few times. It held up well in average rainy weather, until last week a sudden strong gust turned it inside out for the first time, and the material tore away from one of the ribs. These umbrellas have a lifetime warranty, so I emailed TradMall and told them what happened. I wasn't even sure they'd answer, but I had a reply within hours. The customer service person I spoke with (Tracy) was friendly and professional, and by the evening of the day I sent the email, they'd placed an order for a replacement umbrella, no questions asked. It arrived today, just a few days later. I couldn't be more pleased with my experience, and I definitely recommend this umbrella.

It is an umbrella it blocks the sun or prevent you from getting wet. It is sturdy enough to last for years. Handle has a good feel in it. It is lightweight. Small enough to fit in a bag. I love it. Final verdict it is a good buy for something that $8 - $10. Why buy it? - It is not expensive - Materials used can last years, you'll probably lose it before you worn it out. -You should not be buying $40 umbrella that will probably do the same job.

I wrote the following review when I bought the umbrella. Recently a spoke broke. I contacted Tradmall. They responded immediately and arranged for a replacement. They have the Best customer service. They do what they promise. Can't ask for a better product or better customer service. Original review...... I love this umbrella! I use it every day for sun protection and, of course, when it rains. Since I live in Florida, that means I use it constantly. It never breaks when the wind blows it inside out. I just turn it around and the wind pops it back. It's big enough to keep you dry. It's small and light enough to carry. It's not for a small handbag but I find those umbrellas too small and flimsy to really keep you dry. From my experience with other brand umbrellas, closing this type of umbrella is difficult. They have a button to open and close. But to really close it you have to push the handle in. I had to push the others against a wall or sidewalk and it was still difficult. This umbrella is tight but I can still close it with my own strength.... and I'm older with arthritis in my hands. Last, this company is great to deal with. Good customer response when I had a problem. Since I use it all the time every day, I have several. Can't be without it.

As a buyer of the TradMall Travel Umbrella, I’m impressed with its quality given the price. The 46-inch canopy is large enough to provide excellent coverage, and the 10 reinforced fiberglass ribs make it sturdy and windproof, even in gusty conditions. The ergonomic handle is comfortable to hold, and the auto open and close feature adds convenience, especially when you're on the go. The black color looks sleek and classic. Overall, it’s a well-made umbrella that offers great value and durability for its cost.

I spent a long time trying to choose a new umbrella, and ended up with this one. Initially I was happy with my choice. It is very compact, and it opened nicely, although it is a little difficult to close. When it arrived, I would have given it 4 stars. Yesterday, however, as I started to unwrap the umbrella to open it, the button basically exploded. I don't even remember touching it; but suddenly the umbrella was expanding before I could get it outside my car. I shoved it through the door, then tried to push it fully open, but it would not stay entirely open either. I held it mostly-open in order to keep my mother and myself dry. (Fortunately it wasn't raining very hard.) Now it will not stay fully open OR fully closed, unless I use the velcro strap to hold it shut. Did I mention that I ordered the umbrella less than two months ago, and that this was only the third time I had used it?? Maybe I got a defective one somehow, but I am very disappointed in the lifespan and quality of this umbrella. I am emailing TradMall, but honestly, even if they replace it, I plan to find a more reliable alternative for regular day-to-day use.

The great, huge umbrella that is enough to cover a couple and keep them dry. It's a bit heavy and bulky, but it's expected considering the umbrella size.

The umbrella was packed in its box, delivered quickly and well-packaged. Thank you, seller, for your nice customer service. I used the umbrella in the park when it was drizzling. I like the blue color of the item as it feels as if the sky is blue and the rain looks less gloomy. 😀 I am happy with my purchase. I also liked the handle of the umbrella, it works well for me. Also, it did not feel heavy to carry for me, despite a seemingly solid body of the umbrella.

OK, I've used this a few times but not many. Now after our hot summer the rain has finally arrived and I felt safe in the knowledge I would stay dry (as can be with a brolly). But I was surprised to feel drips. Not much, but it seems where the struts are in contact with the fabric, the water filters through bilding up until it drips. Small showers aren't a problem, but a deluge will leave you feeling rather wet. I'm now off to find another 'recommended' brolly for when it continues raining . . .

es como lo describan, de muy buen tamaño personal, con 9 ribs de refuerzo, muy practico para cargar, y se abre con un botón y se cierra con el mismo botón, muy funcional como para cuando quieres bajarte del auto sin mojarte

Nothing negative about this product. Holds up well in the wind. Great buy.
