Since our beloved OZBargain community is in love with automatic umbrellas, here's one to evaluate. Post mentions Free delivery to my postcode. Please check yours and let me know if post needs to be amended. Mentions life-time guarantee, not sure how that works. Price appears to be normal price.

Description:

Let's get straight to the heart of the matter: can you remember ever feeling sorry about throwing an umbrella in a street trash can just because it was useless? There's nothing more frustrating than having your umbrella turned inside out and getting soaked up on the way to the closest shelter. Waiting for the rain to stop is not anyone's plan for the day!

Key Features:

Auto Open/Close Mechanism makes it easy to operate

Water Resistant Canopy is made from premium micro-weave 210T thread-count fabric that is coated with Teflon water repellant treatment.

Wind Proof Frame is engineered with 10 steel ribs that are tri-folded for safety and strength. Premium fabric stretchers provide maximum canopy tautness and are made from an innovative combination of steel, fiberglass, and aluminum.

Heavy Duty Steel Shaft provides superior rigidity and strength compared to aluminum or fiberglass shafts.

Professionally Styled in classic colors, the Traveler is the perfect travel companion for men and women - equipped with a stylish euro-grip handle and tri-fold frame that makes it the ideal size to fit into your briefcase or travel bag.

The Traveler Umbrella by Vanwalk designed to meet the demanding needs of frequent travelers at an everyday value price.

Features:

STRONG WIND RESISTANCE: Hardened steel shafts, 10-rib lightweight frame made from steel, high-grade resin and fiberglass, makes it strong enough to stands up to a stiff breeze.

GOOD QUALITY and HARD MATERIAL: Canopy is made from 210T micro-weave fabric which is coated with the industry leading Teflon fabric protection that repels water and dries fast.

AUTOMATIC and COMPACT: Auto open/close function allows for easy one-handed operation. Quickly open and collapse the canopy with the push of a button gives you a quick protection.

SUPERIOR WATER RESISTANCE: High quality TEFLON coated fabric makes the Vanwalk umbrella one of the most durable on the market. Guaranteed not to split or tear, TEFLON makes your canopy virtually indestructible.

LIFETIME REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE: You are protected for life from the rain, sleet and snow, through our lifetime replacement guarantee program. If anything at all goes wrong with your umbrella, we will send you a replacement absolutely free, no return required.

Edit (21/1): Price has dropped from $21.99 to $20.99

    Hmmm…aren't umbrellas all waterproof?

    • bigbadboogieman on 12/01/2018 - 08:38

      Lolz.. yes… Teflon coated fabric… Whatever that means..

      • Dream-cast on 12/01/2018 - 21:18

        It means water runs off the fabric instead of soaking into it. Its useful when you close the umbrella you can easily shake off the water instead of having it drip everywhere inside your house or car.

        • bigbadboogieman on 12/01/2018 - 21:34

          Ok… Agreeing only because you said it nicely… ;-)

    Whoa, this must be the product of the year! We have an umbrella that is WATERPROOF!!!

      Still does not top the biggest discovery last year of WIRELESS (aka battery power).

    • CacheHunter on 12/01/2018 - 13:01

      Its made out of the same fabric I'm using in my teabag factory.

      • 31mop on 12/01/2018 - 14:31

        That's my favourite adult movie.

        • CacheHunter on 12/01/2018 - 15:17

          I'm confused, but don't want to ask.

  • annarchon on 12/01/2018 - 09:11

    So is Amazon still just an eBay clone at the moment or what?

    Ships from and sold by YCIT CO LTD.

  • musai on 12/01/2018 - 09:30

    is this better than xiaomi? anyone has both?

    I honestly find the Oroton automatic umbrellas pretty good especially when they were on special (<$20). Mine has lasted for about 5 years now and still in great condition. Always in my work bag in case it rains..

  • LurvinOZB on 12/01/2018 - 09:39

    how does this compare with this [https://www.amazon.com/Kolumbo-Travel-Umbrella-Non-breakable-Durability/dp/B01N2NFON5]

  • inherentchoice on 12/01/2018 - 10:06

    Wind Proof Frame is engineered with 10 steel ribs

    Sounds a bit rust prone? Surely fibreglass or aluminium would be better for longevity?

    • bigbadboogieman on 12/01/2018 - 13:27

      The post mentions Lifetime Replacement Guarantee. May be we ask them if they replace rusted ones..?

  • corgicorgi on 12/01/2018 - 10:09

    aren't all umbrella designed to be waterproof??

    • scud70 on 12/01/2018 - 10:21

      new feature… maybe its IP68 … lol

  • FuRyZ on 12/01/2018 - 10:31

    Inverted Umbrellas are much sturdier and more windproof. I got to use a friend's one around a year ago and its so much better in many ways.

  • Ninjabredman on 12/01/2018 - 11:04

    Lost my umbrella on sydney trains on the terrible tuesday so will give this a shot, thanks OP

    • bigbadboogieman on 12/01/2018 - 13:25

      Cool share feedback when you receive the actual product… Want to know comparative quality to Xiaomi

  • melbourne guy on 12/01/2018 - 11:28

    I been needing a new umbrella. My other old ones are either gone missing or broken. Thanks OP. Hopefully it lasts the distance!

    • cloudy on 12/01/2018 - 11:44

      I was gonna say why people spend more than a few bucks for umbrellas when it would seem most people lose them on trains anyway.

      I remember a guy at work says he never buys umbrellas, always go to the train station when it’s a rainy day and say you left your black umbrella on the train and if anyone returned it. They will always have some and ask which one, and u just pick the one u like lol.

      Better to do that since, apparently, after a month of no one claims it it just gets chucked out, due to overload on lost property space.

      • Salmando on 12/01/2018 - 20:49

        Sounds like my career as an umbrella salesman has just begun

        • cloudy on 12/01/2018 - 21:55

          glad i could help. I found that story funny though, but can imagine it being so true.

  • jebdra on 12/01/2018 - 11:37

    Thanks OP. I needed a new umbrella after the last week in NSW.
    Thanks also to stevieray for the link to the double canopy one which I bought.

  • Leonard on 12/01/2018 - 12:28

    I couldn't find a size, apart from "compact". My small (23cm) automatic brolly doesn't cover me and a backpack, so I pack the large (42cm) if it looks like rain.

    • bigbadboogieman on 12/01/2018 - 13:22

      This one shows a 40 inch diameter… Not sure whether that would be sufficient.

    No need. Found nice umbrella on train on Tuesday

  • ozlab on 12/01/2018 - 13:45

    IMHO, it's still overpriced. I got mine different brand but similar feature for $6 from my local store.

    • bigbadboogieman on 12/01/2018 - 14:51

      Wouldn't that mean even the Xiaomi one is also overpriced….?

      • Salmando on 12/01/2018 - 20:51

        Blasphemy!

  • ExpressCoffee on 12/01/2018 - 14:11

    Damn! just grabbed the xiaomi one with 35 day delivery… Am i better off just cancelling my LITB order and getting this one?

    • Ruckmauler on 12/01/2018 - 14:44
      +1

      This might help you make your decision - i have ordered this one from Amazon and the est arrival given in the order is between Jan 30 and Feb 14 - so pretty dismal too.

      • jlogic on 12/01/2018 - 19:53

        Stock from China most probably.

      • ExpressCoffee on 15/01/2018 - 00:30

        thanks!

  • Basler on 12/01/2018 - 15:26

    Agree, was about to buy but can't get it for at least another 3 weeks so not going to bother. We need the drone delivery.

  • eggboi on 12/01/2018 - 16:41

    “Waterproof”. Ah, good thing it’s not the flyscreen version?

  • jlogic on 12/01/2018 - 19:53

    https://www.sydneyumbrellas.com.au/12

    16 ribs and makes you feel like Mary Poppins cause it does feel like take off when the wind gets it.

    Got it for $30 10 years ago. Still going strong.

  • pyr0maniac on 12/01/2018 - 20:19

    Not a Xiaomi, not a deal. Do u even ozbargain m8?

    • bigbadboogieman on 12/01/2018 - 21:31

      Haah. 76 likes and 125 comments so far say otherwise mate… :) I know challenging something made by Xiaomi is blasphemy but all's fair for a bargain… ;-)

  • Frugal on 12/01/2018 - 21:40

    The selling point for me is found in the title "waterproof".

  • randoom on 21/01/2018 - 14:32

    Now $1 cheaper at $20.99 AUD delivered from 'Lafamart' on Amazon AU.

  • bargainsville on 05/02/2018 - 01:35

    Where does it say LIFETIME Warranty, I only see 30 days?
