Sport Brella Versa Brella Swiveling Umbrella Midnight Reviews Summary

Adjustability

Pros:

• "It rotates and bends in so many positions and is durable."
• "Attaches to a folding chair, easily adjustable so I can move it when needed to meet my shade demands especially on those 100 + degree days."
• "I also like the ability to angle it to block the sun at different times of the day."
• "This umbrella will attach to any back of chairs, pr side poles or anywhere there is a place for a major gripping tool adapter that is attached to it for security and blocking the sun."
• "I love the multiple points of adjustment to adjust as the sun goes down."
• "With its 4-way, 360-degree swivel and two push-button hinges, you can easily adjust it to any angle to block the sun."
• "It can be rotated. In addition, it can be adjusted at the base, and in the middle of the support arm, so you can really fine tune where the shade lands."

Cons:

• "The umbrella attached nicely to the chair, however it would not bend or rotate to any position that would ever accommodate an appropriate amount of shade."
• "These can be a little awkward to get set up at the right angle."
• "The major CONS are: all the joints are very, very loose. Without additional stiffening or support, the umbrella moves, rotates and droops in any wind."
• "It was difficult, frustrating, and more often than not impossible to manipulate it myself."
• "Getting it at the correct angle, depending on the chair I have it attached to, is not always easy, and requires that I have to detach it from the chair and reattach at a different angle."
• "The mechanism to attach this to the chair started to be very difficult to loosen, stopped working completely after a few months."
• "The umbrella shaft is wobbly, and even after all the difficulty it takes to make adjustments, they are less than effective or satisfying."

Durability

Pros:

• "This little umbrella lasted a full year in the elements 24/7."
• "They’re durable, well made, and show no signs of wear and tear."
• "This umbrella is super durable and well-made. I've been putting it through its paces out in the wilderness and it's held up through wind and rain."
• "The Versa-Brella is well made, with a rugged canopy cover that doesn't rip or tear easily."
• "So far this umbrella keeps impressing me. Solid stitching."
• "The SPF protection kept the sun off and the heat away."
• "Great for keeping my newborn out of the sun to let him get fresh air. Easy to adjust and attach on the stroller."

Cons:

• "The clamp needs to be made of metal, not plastic. It isn't made to last."
• "This was a pretty great umbrella until the clamp broke."
• "The following summer one umbrella tore apart from sun exposure, and the other ripped while attaching it to the rail."
• "It broke within the first 2 hours with very light wind. Feels very cheap and weak."
• "The joints in the umbrella pole don’t seem like they will last very long before breaking."
• "It was great while it lasted, however it broke after 3 months of use on the stroller."
• "Every single umbrella has broken in the same way... the bolt on the clamp will strip and you will no longer be able to use the clamp to tighten it to your chair."

Portability

Pros:

• "It’s also light and easy to pack with you."
• "Folds well."
• "Very light weight and easy on the go."
• "It's no bigger or heavier than a regular-long umbrella."
• "Super lightweight, and easy to fold and unfold."
• "It folds down neatly into a compact carrying case, weighing only 1.8 pounds, making it easy to transport wherever you go."
• "Incredibly light weight. I just leave them in the trunk of my car all summer."

Cons:

• "However, this umbrella is nearly as large as a golf umbrella when collapsed."
• "It's really easy to slip the umbrella into its carrying case."
• "It has a great carrying case with sling for your shoulder but you could not fit this in a bag or stroller so it will always have to be carried separately."
• "The umbrella pole part is also really short so if you are tall and using it on the back of your chair, your head will hit the umbrella."
• "It comes with a little case and strap which is great for me since I usually ride my beach cruiser to the beach."
• "The umbrella comes with a nylon carrying case with shoulder strap."
• "Folds neatly into its good quality carrying bag, which has a strap."
