   So I purchased this for my mother-in-law thinking that umbrellas are unisex, which is a reasonable conclusion, correct? Well, it arrived and the packaging states proudly “Totes Automatic Open & Close Umbrella FOR MEN”. *sigh* I hope she likes her manbrella.

   These umbrellas lasted me for less than a year in Los Angeles, which rains maybe two weeks a year. One of flimsly built umbrella skeleton broke in a slightly windy condition (and it doesn’t get that windy in Los Angeles). I am not even sure if the wind broke it since it almost broke down by itself.

   I have used Totes for over 20 years. I can ascertain that Totes umbrella of 20 years ago, although no robust tank, was far more durable than this recent rendition.

   Plus, this umbrella size is unreasonably small. So small, my lower pants and shoes became totally went in a not so windy and slightly rainy day. In Los Angeles, we rarely have a downpour rain. We usually have what many would call a drizzle. Yet, I have found these unfit for use even in Los Angeles.

   If you are looking for a robust umbrella that can protect you in a downpour and windy conditions, please do look elsewhere.

   The umbrella is great but there is still oil on the metal shaft even after I wiped it with paper towel. Close it, open it – oil is there again.

   Lifetime warranty is great and you get replacement really fast – just send the tag and wrapper piece with Velcro to Totes. They replaced 2 umbrellas for me (after I used them for years. NYC winds are hard on umbrellas)

   My attitude towards umbrellas up until now was to go for cheap, and once the thing breaks I’ll get another one. Not anymore. This a quality umbrella that can take a beating. While walking through campus I noticed other people’s umbrellas being torn up in the wind but this umbrella held strong. I would definitely recommend it.

   I ordered this in black on 4/20/09 and one of the cloth pieces ripped on the end of one of the metal arms on 11/23/09, so had to send back to [...] for lifetime warranty replacement which is good. Bad part is [...]makes you pay $5 for return shipping and you have to pay to ship it to them, plus you are without the umbrella for 4-5 weeks so you have to have a backup umbrella in the meantime. Never had a problem with a totes before so I still will give them a four star rating.

   The game is great, neat story, revisiting past games and reliving the great action and suspense of this franchise. The seller great too, arrived before the scheduled date, everything was ok.

   A lot of the reviews on here is saying they didn’t know what rail shooter is well thats too bad.Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is a great shooter don’t expect nothing then that,I also like that you don’t have to move cause the game does that by itself,its very simple,yeah the story lines for each game in Chronicles (resident evil 0,resident evil. resident evil 3 nemesis),are different then the original games but who cares its still fun,also if you do get this game get the perfect shotgun for it your have a blast.

   As a Resident Evil fan myself, I wondered if I should purchase this RE Umbrella Chronicles or not. But by going on [...] and looking at the gameplays, and by reading some of the comments some people have posted…I’m glad I made a wise choice of not buying this game. Before I even looked at the gameplay for this game, I thought the gameplay of this game would be like the rest of the other RE games I played…but I was wrong. Like what previous people have posted, this game is just like house of the dead on the arcade. When I buy a game, I want to experience the full story, levels, figure out puzzles and experience the whole game. Instead of buying this “not so good” game, I instead bought RE Archives and I’m glad I made a wise choice. So if your a RE fan like myself, you would know the difference between the two games =).

   Resident evil: the umbrella chronicals is an awesome game. Another game where you need a gun accessory to really enjoy it. The biggest issue I have with it are the parts where you have to do something with the wii controller quickly or you die. I don’t like games with button smashing, I had enough of that with old games and the game can use the nunchuck accessory to replace pressing buttons on the wii controller but for some reason it doesn’t work at times when you need to press “a” repeatedly or die. While this is annoying, the rest of the game is good enough that I don’t mind it too much.

    I purchased this because it was on sale and I’ve been yearning for another Resident Evil game since RE4. I read all the reviews and new what I was getting into. That being said, I’d never played a “rail shooter” before and it is not something I wish to play a lot in the future. But that is the style of the game so I’m not going to critique that. My problem was with the timed in game button presses you have to do in order to avoid being hit or attacked by the enemy. Either I am really bad or there is a problem registering these moves between the remote and the game. I’ve been very successful with these type of moves in other games and have never had many issues with correctly executing them. But in this game I am rarely successful, which leads to me dying over and over and over again. It is frustrating because I know I press the buttons, but nothing seems to register. This basically makes the game almost unplayable.

    I ordered this stroller based on reviews over others I’ve tried first hand, and since receiving it last week have gone back and ordered yet another one for my daughter! It is made very well, easily moves with a 48# 3yr old, and I can stand up “straight” while pushing it! Yeah! Very big help for Nana of 3 little ones. The canapy problems are minor- it is an umbrella stroller after all and yet to see one that has great coverage, it snaps on easily and does fine. Love the fact it has shock absorbing wheels, less bouncing around and it reclines unlike most others. The Chicco stroller I tried was very hard to push- it pulled to the one side not matter what I did (even empty), and so happy with this Kolcraft- can be pushed with one hand if need be. You won’t be sorry if you get this one.

    For other reviewers who complain about the quality and features – what are you griping about for $40? It’s extremely lightweight, has tall handles (I’m 5′10″ and don’t have to hunch over), reclines, and even has a cupholder. The only drawback is the small flimsy sunshade but otherwise, it’s a great buy. If you feel like spending $100-400 more for a stroller with more features, go for it. But this is the best stroller $ per $. (FYI – we’ve owned Jeep, Peg Perego, and MacLaren strollers before)

    We are happy with what we have; easy to handle and steady frame. We have a good product at a great price and it will last for many years to come. What it make this product better is the free shipping Amazon offer.

    Okay, i did my research on strollers and for the money this one is the best stroller to bring on plane trips. Its so lightweight, compact and LOVE that it has a reclining seat. The shade is small, but i bought a cover to go over the current one, other than that i love this stroller. Plus the handles are taller than an average umbrella stroller, so even my husband has no issues with it. Can’t say enough good things. Also Amazon’s awesome shipping was quick and FREE! I’m one happy momma! Wish i bought this 2-kids ago!:)

    I was pleasantly surprised by how much bigger the seating was compared to the usual umbrella strollers and the fact that the handles are high enough that my 6′4″ tall husband is comfortable pushing it and does not kick the wheels. Not much more to say – it is a decent product for its intended use. It’s not incredibly durable but sufficient considering it is only an umbrella stroller. We use it for travel and smaller errands around the city.

    I got this new umbrella because I lost my other GustBuster umbrella and believe me when I tell you this umbrella is the best. The new construction is very durable and far better than the older model I had, and amazon.com sells this umbrella at great price, and with free shipping you can’t beat this deal. I highly reccommend this product for anyone who wants a good quality umbrella that works and does what it says. Thanks GustBuster for designing a great product.

    This is the best umbrella I have ever owned. It stands up to blowing wind and rain and keeps my dry at the same time. I would highly recommend this product!

    Great quality, but very small coverage in a fairly long package. I hoped this would work for me and a child, but it really looks like it will work only for the child. Measurement is deceptive as described by other reviewers.

    The main metal shaft of the umbrella bended in the wind and broke. This occurred not long after buying the umbrella. In addition, there are sharp metal parts on the shaft, which severely hurt my fingers several times when closing the umbrella. I cannot recommend this umbrella at all.

    This umbrella is well-made and durable, however, it’s a bit heavy. But I’m willing to deal with the weight, for something I know won’t turn inside out, or tear within a few months. Last week, I was walking in the rain with strong gusts, and felt completely covered and in no fear of this blowing away. And although the price was a little higher than I wanted to pay, I’ve paid for umbrellas around the same price that broke within a few months.
