purchased this umbrella in a store sometime in the past couple years, after my previous Totes brand umbrella I'd had for many many years finally got worn out. This is nowhere near the quality of the umbrella I had before and I'm now looking to replace it way earlier than I should need to, given that I use this maybe two to six times a month, max. First off, the clear base of the handle, which has the loop attached to it, has separated from the rest of the handle multiple times. I have tried various different types of glue to reattach it (including super glue and E-6000 Industrial Strength adhesive), and have still had to reattach months later when it would fall off again. The thickness and quality of the umbrella material seems much cheaper than older umbrellas, and one of the points where the material connects to the end of one of the "spokes" of the frame came unattached pretty soon after getting it. The metal frame itself is also weaker and cheaper than what I've had before. It's just not a quality umbrella and if you purchase it, be prepared for it to not last very long! I'm doing my research this time around and getting something of higher quality that people have had good experiences with.

I've bought this umbrella THREE times -- and would do so again, if I needed to. It's super strong, as the name implies. I love the color, and the best part is the automatic, one-button close. When I escape to the car in a thunderstorm, the LAST thing I want to do is struggle through the open car door to pull down the hasp to close the umbrella. With this umbrella, voila! One touch, and I can close the door and escape the wet.
My first version of this umbrella left with a good friend at the train station. She was leaving to board the train when a sudden downpour occurred. I gallantly gave her my good umbrella, thinking she'd return it one day. But one day never came, so I ordered a new one.
Sometime last month I lost #2 at a meeting. I know the day I lost it, and called all my meeting venues to try and find it, but no one had it. Doubtless someone saw it and took the opportunity to have a great umbrella. I ordered #3 today.
