Above® Solo Classic 106 in Blue Solid Print Octagon Market Patio Umbrellas, Fade Resistant, Solar Powered, LED Lighting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Above height smart umbrella is not only a super high quality umbrella, its technology at its best. Everything from the solar power, automatic remote controlled open and close mechanism to the built in light is simply amazing. I was impressed when assembling the solar panel, wind sensor and light to the main umbrella on how Above developed a system that clicked into place and water tight. Although the battery has a USB charging port, I have not need to use it because the solar battery charging system has kept the battery charged. The light is amazingly bright and has allowed us to enjoy dinner and drinks under the umbrella late into the night. The remote comes with a holder that can be attached to the pole of the umbrella, so it doesn't get lost. Opening and closing the umbrella is really fun and everyone who we tell about it wants to play with it. At first, I was worried what happen if the battery dies when it's up, not to worry there is a manual disconnect to lower it. The wind sensor is like magic, it just works. I have notice that a single gust of wind won't actuate the closing, but a steadier wind is need. It does have 3 different wind speed settings and I have set mine at the highest and works great. We leave the umbrella open all the time and let the umbrella determine when it need to close. I do appreciate the quality workmanship and detail Above has put into making this product, even down to the detail of giving an extra battery for the remote. So even without all the technology this is a great umbrella but, with the automation, light and solar it's evaluated to a whole new level of functionality, technology, and quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This umbrella usually becomes the topic of conversation any time people come over. The remote control feature seem to be what get everyone including me. without ever leaving your seat you can raise and lower the umbrella, or turn on the light which is absolutely a must have from now on. The Fabric has a elegant look that will enhance just about any set you put it with.
