Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

I like how inconspicuous it is and that it isn't plastered with a brand name in big print. I like the umbrella, however it is not exactly as pictured.

The fabric seems durable and appears unmarred after 6months of intermittent use. The construction and design seems well thought out and durable. The ones i have bought are sturdy and last for years before wearing down.

The nice curved edges help prevent the wind from turning it inside out. It seems pretty sturdy and can manage strong winds pretty well so far. Been tired of having to replace them after a big windy rainy day and the umbrella ($10-$30) collapses.



Cons

The plastic mechanism fails often -- sometimes it fails on arrival; other times it fails shortly after the purchase. This supposedly larger umbrella isn't much better as it has low head clearance. After several months this umbrella is useless because ...  Read More

The brand, spanking new umbrella is not foolproof against gusts of wind. Other than the collapsing canopy the handle has a bad oder to it. The handle still reeks horribly, even several feet away. It is not a deep dome that properly covers your upper t...  Read More

The frame splines are plastic and two of them snapped in half this last time i opened it. The latch to hold up the umbrella is made of cheap plastic, not metal as with most $5 sidewalk umbrellas. The springs that they use are very cheap and do not las...  Read More

Quality


Stands up to its name in quality.


I have to say in today's world of cheap products this is impressive quality.


I would not even consider another product.


Would highly recommend to anyone who is as sick of cheap low quality umbrellas as i am.

Price


While the price initially dissuaded me from purchasing this umbrella, it has turned out to be worth every penny.

Competitiveness


My hiking friend seemed to be buying several umbrellas a year so i convinced him to get a gustbuster.


We’ve owned gustbuster umbrellas before and will always replace with a gustbuster!

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Last year 2022 i was putting my son in the car and accidentally slammed the umbrella in the door and the fiber glass broke


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It held up and then a few months later the fabric became unattached to the rods


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If i had not slammed it in the car door i feel like the fabric would not have come unattached


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I think the highest wind i was in reached 45 mph


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The length of the umbrella is cumbersome when going into stores because it doesn’t quite fit into the cart


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It is lightweight for the size from my perspective


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The only things i wish it had was a hand strap and an automatic open and close


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Would not buy a different umbrella
