As Seen On Tv Compact Better Brella

I really like this umbrella. However I like the plastic pieces rather than the metal.

It's a nice umbrella...thought the new 'style' might be a gimmick only, but the umbrella works just as advertised. I'm happy.

Good compact umbrella

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Normally im the type of person who gets really aggravated when it's raining and i use an umbrella. To me, no matter how hard you try to avoid getting water on yourself or on the floor when you close an umbrella, its nearly impossible. When you shut it the water on the outside just splashes everywhere when closing. With this umbrella thats a thing of the past. I couldnt be more excited lol. Its so simple to use. It works exactly like the normal umbrellas that been around forever, except for the awesome feature of it closing backwards. (Or away from you) when closing a normal one, the middle and the outside edges of it close back toward you while holding it and the water flings back too, but this one, when you go to close it, the outside parts close away from you! You dont have to worry about getting wet anymore when you use this one . Its so simple to use. To open it all you have to do is just push the button on the bottom plastic handle and it automatically pops open. When your ready to close it, just push in the little metal piece on the top inside and it easily slid s down as you pull it and it just pops close. Its awesome! Everyone needs to try this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this because of the way it folds. It isn't as wet and messy as other umbrellas. I have only used it in moderate rain and it held up well. Some umbrellas don't fair well in high winds, and I can't attest to this one in that regard. However, it held up well in a nice summer rain and kept us dry.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Can't wait till rain season so I can show off this cool umbrella. It's been rather dry here but I was so excited to try this umbrella I ran out and pranced around the sprinklers. The umbrella was wind resistant and protected me well from the water. But the coolest thing was once I got inside instead of having to grab a towel to minimize dripping I was able to set the better brella down without a single drop of water getting on the floor. Wish I would have had this umbrella sooner! I will definitely be getting a lot of use out of it.

Reverse umbrella is much better than regular ones. Love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As it's summer in the PNW, finally, I haven't had many opportunities to use this umbrella in anything other than a light mist. But, I can say, it will be a major lifesaver when fall comes around. It opens easily, closes easily and holds the water inside instead of pouring it all over. It's still going to be damp, but after a good shake it's perfectly fine to be put into a bag for ease of carrying. No more accidentally soaking yourself from closing your umbrella and no more carrying drippy wet umbrellas in public places!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered this at the end of June and received it early July. I live in Arizona and our monsoon season is from June 15th to Sept. 15th and I was hoping I would have a chance to use it this season. As we are nearing the end of July, we still have not gotten any rain, so I haven't had the opportunity to try this out yet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] How many times have you had your umbrella get caught in the wind and be rendered unusable?! Not anymore! Not only that, this is so easy to open and close. I think the only downfall is the size. I would prefer something more compact for bringing to work, but other than that, this is awesome
