I have several of the new "travel" umbrellas that have the automatic open-and-close feature, but this one is my favorite.  It's small enough to carry easily and conveniently, but it feels more like using a full-size umbrella.

It's not the smallest umbrella available.  Those are 11" long (closed) and this is 13".  To me that's not a significant difference, but it may be for your purposes.  The advantages of the Vorosy is that it offers a longer, more comfortable handle, a longer shaft, and a more pronounced curve to give better protection from driving rain.

The best feature is the handle.  It's 3 1/2" long (most travel umbrellas have a 2 1/2" handle.)  You wouldn't think that would make a difference, but it DOES.  The handle is long enough to grip comfortably and it's also curved and has a perforated panel.  It's just far more comfortable and "grippable" than the handles on most compact umbrellas.

The automatic open-and-close feature works easily and efficiently.  I have no trouble with it, even with my limited hand strength.  The longer shaft and the pronounced curve of the umbrella when it's open gives you very good protection.  I got the red and it's a beautiful, vibrant color and contrasts nicely with the black handle, stem, and ribs.

I want an umbrella that's small enough to carry easily, but I also want a comfortable handle and protection from the rain.  This one delivers the total package at a bargain price.

A really pretty umbrella, however the thing that sits on the top in the middle - I am sure it has a name- fell out after a few uses,  can still use it but it does not look as nice. It is easy to operate and a good sizw.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received this item. I was looking for a replacement umbrella for one which got mashed from heavy winds.

The GustBuster is excellent quality, easy to put up and take down. Nice light frame and matching sleeve. I have only had one chance to use it so far in the rain - and guess what? it works!

Being in Florida, the added advantage was the sunblock feature. Definately something which I need.

Raindeer has made a really high-quality Beach Umbrella!  I have found that it does what it is intended to do very well- block the wind and shade the sun! I love the bright rainbow colors.  When at the beach with a ton of other umbrellas up I like that I can easily spot mine because it is so unique!

The 80 in. canopy is great, I love how it really does shade the sun well.  The material of the umbrella is very nice and feels durable.  The pole is a thick 1.25 in. and won't bend or break easily. It is nice being able to use this umbrella low to the ground or by attaching the extra pole and having it up a bit higher.  So far, I have been extremely pleased with my new beach umbrella.

I can't wait to use it for years to come! I feel fortunate to have received this umbrella at a discounted cost for my honest and unbiased review.

The price and quality of each were roughly equivalent, however, this was the ONLY umbrella that sized the handle and the 'pull ring' under the canopy so that you can actually close the umbrella by simply pulling on the ring.  All of the other umbrellas sized the ring too small so that you couldn't pull them closed - instead you had to push it closed by putting your hand on the wet outer side of the umbrella.  To me, this is a design failure that only the Oceana umbrella was able to overcome.  It's the small things in life that make you happy i suppose :)

As for the rest of the umbrella, everything feels like nice quality, but nothing is outstanding (as with all of the other ones i have).

The canopy is single-layered and feels durable. You cannot see through it when looking up.  The hinges are all made of metal with those little tiny rivet-like hinges that are commonly used.  The handle feels nice in my hand (i'm 6' tall).  It could be slightly larger, but it at least does not cause my pinky finger to hang freely like some of the others.  It has a smooth finish that could possibly be slippery when wet, but given that it has that little flared tip, i don't think you'd be at risk of dropping it or having it blown out of your hand.

The opening and closing mechanism worked great in both directions.  It opens firmly and quickly.  It collapses down instantly.

The tie strap has a snap rivet closure that works well.  However, you'll be challenged to get it to slide back into the provided sleeve.  I tried to reinsert each of the umbrellas i've bought and they've all taken far too much effort to reinsert. You need to use both hands and wiggle it down a tiny bit at a time on each side until the bulk of the umbrella is in the sleeve.  I just thrown them away (really, why can't they make them a tiny bit bigger so that it doesn't take so much time/effort?)

They included a free pair of earrings.  While it's a nice gesture to give a free gift, I did find it a bit strange.  I didn't think the earrings were of very nice quality (i'd likely rate them a 2/5).

The umbrella was sold to me at a discounted price in exchange for my review. I am permitted to give it a negative review if that's how I feel the product has performed.

This has easily become my favorite umbrella simply due to not having to close it by putting my hand on the wet side of the umbrella.  I recommend it to others.

I love this umbrella, we had to spray it with a water bottle to see the colors change as it is not raining here. The colors are bright and fun, they go back to black and white when dry. It is easy to use opens and closes smoothly. folds down small fits in a backpack with out any problems. I got this at a discount for an hones review.

I like so much this umbrella, Has an accessory that makes it stop the user to not damage the umbrella to what is opened, that is a brilliant. i leave two pictures.

This is a good solid umbrella! The automatic open and close works well. The size is generous when opened and nice and compact when closed. Love it!

This is a heavy duty umbrella, fabric is doubled up to reinforce.  It opens and closes with ease, and has a beautiful blue sky inside!  Makes you smile when it is raining!  Size is compact, can carry it in my purse during the rainy season, and tuck it into the door of my car.

The automatic up and down motions got me sold on this umbrella.  I really hated folding the umbrella back in especially when it was wet, and i am really glad this one does it on its own. Its sturdy, has good quality, and is reliable. It would make the perfect gift as well.

This is just as described.  I like that is both a rain and sun umbrella and that opens and shuts with a push button.  The only negative is that it's a bit heavy.

This is the fifth Blunt umbrella which I have purchased.  One for myself and the others for gifts.  I can attest that they are wind-worthy (Knirps is the other wind-worthy umbrella.)  They are known for the tips of their spokes being covered, a great trait for city dwellers.  (I live in NYC.)  BTW, I would recommend this XS_Metro size for city-dwellers.  You get the necessary coverage without hogging up the sidewalks.

It is very easy to open and close. I gave this umbrella to a friend with Parkinson's Disease.  She loves it because it is so easy to operate.

This is the second one of these I have owned.  It is the ONLY umbrella for a tree stand that works.  It goes together fast and takes down fast.
There are only 2 downfalls:
1.  If there is a wind over 15 miles per hour, I would not suggest using this.  It is great in a steady rain, but insert any type of wind and this thing will not do its job.  Mine never ripped in a hard wind, but umbrellas are just not designed for wind!
2.  The carry case could be a bit more sturdy and a tad bit larger.

If they added some leafy texture to it, it would also help to not stick out so much.  But I have had deer plenty of times walking right under my stand and not looking up at this big umbrella.

I film hunts as well, so having this umbrella allows us to film during times when you wouldn't think about taking out electronics to the outdoors!  Never leave home though without a heavy duty plastic bag for your camera though.  There are companies that sell these large bags adn they ply is realy thick.

I live in the Caribbean where an umbrella is an everyday constant companion for either the blazing sun or pouring rain. I have been thru maaaany many umbrellas... but I do believe the buck stops here. I LOVE this umbrella. It feels solid and firm in your hand. Very well built. I have to walk along the highway sometimes where I live and the breeze from the cars and trucks is enough to rip apart flimsy umbrellas. Not this one. It is very solid and holds up to the wind. I got the pewter with blue sky print and it is GORGEOUS!! Just what I need when going thru a dreary day!
