[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never thought that I would need a smart umbrella until I came across Above smart umbrellas. This things have one purpose but are really cool. The umbrella operates open/close with a touch of button, has built-in solar panel to charge the leg light and most of all the umbrella also has a wind sensor that will automatically close it if it detects strong winds, which helps to prevent damage. This is probably the coolest outdoor umbrella or item I have ever owned, definitely recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy with this remote control umbrella. We were in need of a new patio umbrella for our table and this has worked out great. The umbrella fits perfectly in our table and really provides a ton of shade for the entire table when sitting under it. The umbrella was also very easy to put together and set up. It’s also neat that it has a solar panel attached to it that can assist with charging. I would definitely recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Above, outdoor smart umbrella is beautiful. The red one, is a rich red, the fabric is thick and sturdy. We took the biggest one and I don’t regret it, everybody has shade without moving the chairs to stay covered. We first charged the battery through the micro-USB port, it seems that you don’t have to, the sun will provide the same result but we felt better charging it over night. Then we struggled with the remote pairing but at that time we didnt read the user manuel, so please, READ the user manuel before trying to make it work. The remote IS working, no need for new battery just read the manuel :). The umbrella is charging via a solar panel too and the remote control make it perfect to open and close the umbrella.It is so easy for such a big umbrella, no human assistance! No umbrella in the face or back pain!. There is a wind sensor just under the solar panel which automatically close the umbrella. When open, there are a remote holder that you can attach to the pole and a light which is really nice for late diner with friends and family. The base is not included. I love this umbrella, such a perfect addition for everyday.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love the Above Height Series 11 Feet Smart Umbrella Sunbrella Spectrum Indigo with Remote Control, Wind Sensor, Solar Panel, LED Lighting. The instructions were easy to follow making it very easy to put the sunbrella together. It charged up quickly, opens and closes without any problems and provides an abundance of shade for my family. The LED light isn't extremely bright, but it's bright enough to sit outside and enjoy visiting after sundown. I like that there is a remote holder that I can attach to the pole of the Above Height Series 11 Feet Smart Umbrella Sunbrella Spectrum Indigo with Remote Control, Wind Sensor, Solar Panel, LED Lighting so that it doesn't get lost.

Purchased 4, one came broken. Set up the other 3, the wind sensors do not drop them, yes we calibrated them many times. Took an outdoor blower to the wind sensors, they only dropped on high and not every time. Defeats the purpose of having them. The poles are too small to support the 11’ foot umbrellas. The concept is great! The umbrellas themselves are nice but if they don’t automatically drop in the wind it’s not worth having. One quit dropping by the remote, my husband found at the pole itself was broken. Figured it was from the wind and to small of a pole, not sure. Not worth the price paid. They’re going back.

Very disappointed in this product, it is cheaply made, the canvas you can see through it. You have to use a USB-C charger. You have to take the top mechanism off on the 11’ high umbrella in order to do that It is overpriced for what you’re getting. There is no quality to it. There was nothing in the description to define the quality of the canvas and what you have to do to charge it. The review isn’t allowing me to submit the photos where you can clearly see through the canvas

Bought this umbrella at a great price. it worked great for the first 1 1/2 months but stopped opening and closing past two weeks. I read how to troubleshoot the issue, and it opened once and got stuck again. If it came with a crank as an alternative in such cases, I would have kept it but instead I returned it today. I am sure the one you buy will eventually have the same issues. Great idea bad product. Do yourself a big favor and just buy a cheaper umbrella and crank it open and closed.

Great umbrella for the 2 months it lasted. Put it up and it would not come back down. Plus it never did automatically close itself with high winds even though we calibrated it per the manual. When I contacted the mfg. they said I would have to ship it back to them at my expense, if they determined it was a warranty covered repair they would repair with refurbished parts and if it could not be fixed they would replace with a refurbished umbrella. I don’t think so! So instead I returned it and was given a full refund. Back to hand cranking and happy to do so.

umbrella cord frays and breaks rendering the umbrella useless agter a very short time!

Lovely umbrella but it quit working and is locked in the open position after 2 months!
