[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a way to provide shielding from the direct sunlight that my deck receives, while also considering our frequent and strong gusts of wind. To complicate matters further, I don’t have a convenient way of stowing away conventional umbrellas when severe weather comes. I am so happy to report that the Height Series Smart Umbrella from ABOVE singlehandedly solved all of my problems! I had no idea that smart umbrellas exist, and it is so rich with features that it is truly the most comprehensively and intelligently designed protection from the outdoors I have ever seen. Firstly, the standard qualities of an outdoor umbrella are done exceptionally well here. Opened or closed, the structure is extremely solid yet lightweight, and I have absolutely no concerns about the umbrella’s arms bending or the fabric tearing. The fabric is anti-UV and is stated to resist fading for at least 5 years, which is great. The fabric layers are tiered so that wind is able to pass through, but rain will not. A weighted base is not included, but any standard base should fit the bill without issue. I measured nearly 9 feet of height from the ground to the bottom tier of the umbrella when opened, so any sized adult will fit with generous room. The diameter of coverage is 11 feet. Minimal assembly was required and I was up and running in 15 minutes. If we stopped at the above features I’d be satisfied, but the umbrella leaps ahead of standard versions by adding key smart features that I had no idea I was missing. A wind sensor is built into the top and triggers the umbrella to automatically close when a high wind threshold is met. Atop this sensor are solar cells that not only powers the remote control-triggered opening and closing features (and the wind triggered auto close), but also an LED light on the pole that provides a just-right amount of light. The remote control is nice, and the motor is strong enough that it does not require any human assistance. Can you tell I’m impressed? The Height Series from ABOVE has helped transform my deck experience for the better and the quality of the product is very apparent even on first look. I am expecting to purchase another umbrella to compliment this one because after experiencing it I realized how much unnecessary work a conventional umbrella truly is. Awesome job, ABOVE.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this umbrella has it all! I love all the features that it offers. you dont have to worry about the wind taking it sailing into the next county because it closes up so it doesnt have a chance to do that. make sure the base locks the poll in tight so when you get an up draft swirling around the outside of your house that it doesnt lift it straight out of the stand. you cant go wrong with the unbrella nice soft light for evening when lounging out. we have not had any issues with it at all.

[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.] 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's an umbrella for your garden or patio , and it does the job. Right? Well the remote and additional features are almost transformative to how simple it is to use, and how much stress it takes away from using it.

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.

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.

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

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!
