The auto open/close works like any other umbrella. It springs open quickly and collapses when you press the button.
But the "Easy Close" model is the best I've seen so far.
I ordered the Easy Close Compact Folding Inverted Umbrella because some of the auto-close umbrellas will spring open on you if you don't push it closed enough so that it locks in place. This one magically stays put, no matter how much (or little) you push it closed. That is a really nice design, especially for kids.
No more worrying that your kid will push the umbrella "almost" closed, only to have it spring back quickly, risking injury. The rod will remain at whatever stage you managed to get it to. I wish all auto-close umbrellas worked like this.
I hardly ever write product reviews. This one does. I had heard of reverse closing umbrellas but when I looked at them they were just too large, so I never bought one. I was in need of a new umbrella and started searching for a travel size umbrella on Amazon Prime. Then appeared LANBRELLA a travel size reverse closing umbrella. The price was good and the reviews were very good. So I bought one (color grey). It arrived quickly and a couple of days later it was pouring sheets of rain in Philadelphia. I had to get to my car - could not wait. Decided to try out my new umbrella. I walked a block to my car. The LANBRELLA gave me good cover from the pouring rain and I stayed dry. When I got to the car I closed the umbrella and voila the outside (=inside really) was dry. No wet umbrella next to me in the car. Great. While I have only had my LANBRELLA a couple of weeks I am really happy with my purchase. I recommend this product.
I read multiple reviews before purchasing this umbrella. Several have complained about the difficulty to close, no such issue here. Others have complained about holes in the fabric, again, not here. Maybe it's a quality control issue?
The umbrella opens and closes as advertised. It provides increased cover (larger canopy) than other umbrellas I own, but yet compresses to a smaller size when closed (12.5" tip to tip). My only concern is durability. The umbrella is VERY light, including the handle. This could be a positive it it holds up, but looking at the rivets makes me skeptical. I've used the umbrella once in a downpour and it was great - but the storm had no wind. It's absolutely worthy of 5 stars for now, but the durability has yet to be tested.
THis is a sturdy umbrella that will last years, it looks like. The design is smart and works well. It covers you well.
The mechanism however is extremely stiff. As long as you press against a wall or the floor and not your hand to close it, you will be fine. And it's not a big deal if occasionally you need to close it yourself. Just requires pressure. But you know you have an umbrella that is literally not going to fold under harsh weather and strong winds.
Been using 6 months now.
I am a big fan of inverted umbrellas. They keep the inside of your car from getting soaking wet due to rain dripping off the umbrella. However, until now, I have and only seen much larger versions of umbrellas which are fine but they are not very portable. This little inverted umbrella fills that need. Great Product. Will buy a couple more for the family.

I've owned many folding umbrellas in my long life of 75 years, but this is the best one. The quality of materials and the new concept of its design is unmatched. The way it opens and closes with the push of the same button, using the power from the spring in the bottom shaft is quite clever. Also the strength of its ribs should make it very wind resistant.
I ordered this umbrella ages ago and what do you know... it finally rained in So Cal and I got a chance to try it out. I take the train into DTLA and the way this umbrella folds up is ideal so as not to get everything and everyone all wet. It drips into itself. It is a nice size and fairly sturdy, sometimes I have to help it to open or close but I figure once it gets some more use (who knows.. we might have one of our rare rainy winters), it will loosen up.
I have owned many auto open/close umbrellas. Imagine my surprise when I opened this one to discover it is a full size umbrella. It is big enough to shield both me and my wife from the rain. As other people have said, this umbrella opens with great force. The first time I used it, I opened the car door enough to get the umbrella out and pressed the button and it pulled right out of my hand. The ribs are plenty heavy. The fabric is thinner than any umbrella I have ever owned. Only time will tell if this is a good thing. It’s only about one inch longer than the “mini” compact umbrellas I have owned.
So I used this umbrella the day after it arrived, to see clients in there homes. not only was it great to get out of car with being able to push a button and have coverage in hard rain, but the wind didn't even bother it. When returning to my car hit the button again and closed the umbrella and was able to get quickly into the car without getting soaking wet from rain or drainage from the umbrella. I did leave the main shaft extended and placed in passenger floor until next stop. Umbrella will not open from this aspect. Glad I purchased
Unique inverted folding design. LOVE that it folds inward so that you don’t get wet when getting into the car! It’s shorter than the regular long size reverse umbrella. Auto open and auto close. Easy carry and do not take up much space. I do like it!
