Lejorain 54inch Umbrella Folding Windproof Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "It's certainly wider than most similarly sized travel umbrellas and is able to withstand a few inversions and pop back into place fairly simply."
• "I live in Florida and it gets really windy here and most umbrellas break because of wind but this one is pretty solid and I feel it will last longer than regular umbrellas."
• "It withstands fairly high wind gusts."
• "Sturdy, wide, open/close mechanism worked perfectly on arrival."
• "The wooden handle is nice and has notches for your fingers."
• "This fashionable umbrella is larger than other collapsible windresistant umbrellas."
• "Huge umbrella that can easily cover two adults with some room!"

Cons:

• "I used this umbrella only a few times when I went to use it during a torrential down pour it broke."
• "Shaft to handle construction not very sturdy and started bending after some winds, finally failed completely in 3 seasons."
• "The first umbrella I ordered did end up breaking from a strong wind."
• "Have used this umbrella maybe 2 or 3 times since I got it. First good rain today (9/8/23) with some wind and it immediately popped inside out and one of the ribs broke."
• "When the wind gets a bit too strong it will go inside out."
• "Flips inside out in light wind, have had it randomly collapse."
• "In the last California storm the wind blew this umbrella inside out and in the process one of the ribs snap apart."

Customer Service

Pros:

• "The merchant was extremely friendly to work with and replaced my broken one after sending him pictures."
• "I want to express my appreciation to the customer service staff at Amazon and the umbrella manufacturer."
• "Lejorain reached out to me immediately and replaced the umbrella."

Cons:

• "I cannot find merchant contact information to reach out to them directly, but it appears from the product description that any warranty lasts only 90 days."
• "The website exists but when you click on the contact us link you get a 404 error."
• "The company really stepped up and sent me a new one."

Design & Comfort

Pros:

• "It looks good."
• "The wooden handle is nice and has notches for your fingers, though, it's not terribly comfortable in your hand after a long walk."
• "Another feature I also like about is the wood handle that i think is very beautiful."
• "When closed it’s compact and easy to fit in a bag/purse; when opened it can easily cover two people."
• "It's a nice big and portable umbrella which is hard to find."
• "The size of this umbrella is impressive. At 54 inches, it provides ample coverage not only for myself but also others that I may be with."
• "This umbrella is large enough when it opens, to shield your legs and feet."

Cons:

• "It's very heavy and not comfortable to hold (for me, a small woman) for more than 10-15 minutes at a time."
• "It's a little larger and definitely heavier than I'd like."
• "The overall weight is a little heavy and may be an issue for some."
• "Weight and size may be an issue if you want something compact and lightweight for packing in luggage."
• "Very heavy."
• "But I can't imagine carrying this thing around all day."
• "Because of all the material it is a bit heavy but feels solid."

Quality & Performance

Pros:

• "I absolutely love this umbrella and have ordered more than one."
• "The umbrella recently turned inside out because of the wind, but went back to normal without worse for wear."
• "Its construction feels solid, and it holds up well against strong gusts of wind and heavy rain."
• "The canopy is much larger than typical folding umbrellas, which helps protect against the rain, especially if you are carrying an over-the-shoulder satchel or similar bag."
• "The reinforced frame and canopy materials inspire confidence that it will hold up well over time, even with regular use."
• "It's built using high quality materials and has a Teflon coating to protect from both rain and wind."
• "The windproof design ensure superior durability and protection against heavy rain and strong winds."

Cons:

• "Do not be fooled by their advertising, this umbrella is not windproof."
• "It is NOT wind proof."
• "This umbrella's frame broke in 3 places and it repeatedly inverted in less than moderate winds during the first time I used it in a rainstorm with slightly windy conditions."
• "Despite its anti-wind features, it does flip easily and in the end was too fragile for the weather of NYC and broke after several uses."
• "The umbrella is solidly built and opens and closes well, but the fabric naturally allows water, that's sitting on top, to seep through after a while."
• "The overall umbrella does not seem very sturdy and the core axis seems to wobble a lot."
• "The framework for the umbrella canopy is so flimsy that if there is any breeze at all during a rainstorm, it will cause the canopy to invert."
