I had recently a pocket umbrella "Easymatic" of Esprit for 19.99 euros. 8 months maintained. After one for 6.99 euros from discounters who fell apart after 3 weeks. Compared to these two screens of Plemo much more robust and stable process works. Also, the fabric is much thicker and harder, thereby however something recalcitrant when folding.
The automatic is therefore quite strong and "pops" actually a little - as the previous speakers have described. I take that to date but sometimes as a good sign.
As for the size, I possessed already lighter and smaller pocket umbrellas. But I just hope this is the sturdy construction of the screen owed, so I'll have a long pleasure.
Should I have made a mistake, and even this screen does not survive longer than a minimum (!) A year, I will update my review and adapt. Until then, it remains at a star deduction for the disgusting stench, otherwise strong buy recommendation.
