KINGSTON FX1

Great quality umbrellas

I was very surprised at the high quality of this umbrella. The controls are very intuitive - easy to use when you're in a rush. I had the umbrella with me on a windy and rainy day with 30mph gusts and it didn't even budge. I'll make sure any umbrellas I get in the future are from LifeTek

Birthday gift for my 12 year old Grandson He was thrilled, it is what he wanted

Very satisfied with my nu umbrella! Definitely will recommend this product to anyone who Looking for one, THIS is it...

I don’t think I’ve ever wanted it to rain until now just to try this out. It was windy, rainy, gloomy and just plain nasty. I reach for the Kingston FX1 and say, “Baby do your work.” Getting out of the vehicle just push the button and a glorious canopy opens. It has good integrity and really fulfills its promise. It stood up to the wind with no problems. I liked it so much I bought the traveler umbrella as well. Quality materials and quality build. Buy with confidence!

Very well-made. Great design without being too big and bulky. Bought the one with the crook; keeps it convenient to hang on a coat hook, over my arm, or in a closet. Definitely recommend it!

Love LifeTek umbrellas. This is my 3rd umbrella form LifeTek. Quality construction. Good coverage.

This is a great umbrella with very good quality in it's making. It is well worth the money!

Excellent. The only improvement I would urge is a sling to carry it over your shoulder since it is a bit weighty.

It's awkwardly tall to use as a walking stick. I'm 5'8' though so maybe the tall folks out there would find it to be a bonus.I returned it before testing it in action, but it seemed sturdy and looked really nice in my opinion. I'm kind of sad it didn't work out.

Seems solid, has held up so will in the spring rains so far.

Big and sturdy with a great appearance open or closed. It also functions as a cane which is handy for me. Very pleased

Lovely quality umbrella. Sturdy and well made. I purchased it as a gift and the recipient really likes it.

this is a large and very study umbrella. nothing within a one-meter radius is in danger of getting rained on. love it.

Good quality

Its longer than I thought it would be,,seems sturdy, durable,,well made,,able to withstand a good downpour with up flapping,,where I live isn't rain much,,so I will get back to you,,later

My wife loves this umbrella. She prefers a crook handle and has had trouble finding a large, windproof umbrella that has the hook until this one. It seems very well made and is working very well for her. My wife uses her umbrella as a wind break and has had trouble finding one that will stand up to the wind.My wife used the umbrella often while she was at work. It was a windbreak when needed and sometimes a sunscreen and of course to keep the rain off. After about two years one of the stays broke on a breezy day and it became mainly unusable. It was a good umbrella while it lasted. We don't know what the life expectancy of an umbrella should be but it was a good one while it lasted.

Lightweight and super sleek in design. The handle has a nice feel to it. Looking forward to trying out my brand new state of the art umbrella.

Very stylish and sturdy. Exactly what I was looking for.

I have been SO happy with this umbrella! It has a nice weight to it, a strong handle and tip with a rubber-like texture, and a nice big canopy. I was really impressed by not only the quality of this umbrella, but also that it auto-opens with the press of a button (which from my experience is quite novel). It is a classy upgrade to older 'fancy' umbrellas, and great for shielding yourself or yourself and a significant other =).I received a discount on this umbrella with the understanding that I would review it honestly, whether positively or negatively.

Very sturdy and elegantly made product.

I bought this umbrella to replace my second cheap, broken home improvement store umbrella, and it has been an enormous improvement. It is sturdy, appears well-made, and wide enough to cover two people. It dries extremely quickly, and water shakes right off of it. The cover is an excellent addition, which I appreciate immensely. I've not had it long enough to speak to its long-term reliability, but am hopeful.

I always wanted a bigger umbrella for me and my wife instead of only having two smaller ones for each other. I looked around a lot on amazon and I found this one for a discount so I went through with the purchase. I got the maroon colored one and was very pleases with color of the umbrella, I'm so glad I didn't get black as I feel it would of looked to plain. On first impression the umbrella looks very solid and strong and the material of the cover feels very sturdy. the curved handle has good grip but can get a couple of scratches on it if your not careful. it also comes with a sleeve to the keep the umbrella in while you are keeping it stored away. Opening this umbrella was quite fun for me, it gives off a big burst of air when opened and it has a big span to easily fit two people. This umbrella hold up in wind very easily and looks great. I would definitely buy this umbrella again.

Very nice solid design. Feels strong like it won't bend the opposite way that it's supposed to with a stiff wind. Although it catches the wind and pulls pretty hard. I feel like having a double top is the best design because it allows air to vent between the two sections when there is a big gust of wind instead of pulling you and the umbrella with it. This is the only reason I am giving it a 4 stars. It does deserve a 5 star for build quality with the price factored in.

Very well made product. Extremely happy I made the decision to buy this product from Life Tek.

Excellent.

Study, plain, reliable umbrella. Good for everyday use.

Really impressed with the quality, also just right size to cove both myself and my wife. Very satisfied with my purchase.

The umbrella of the gods.

Well made, easy to open. Very nice, I love it!

I love it! The best umbrella! Very well made!

Stylish and solidly made. Very happy with my purchase.

The product itself if great quality however my finger was cut by the sharp metal besides the button. I wish I do not need to worry about that when I use this umbrella. It is huge though heavy, so I do not worry about getting wet.

Love my new LifeTek Kingston 54 inch Cane Umbrella! It arrived just before the rain the next day. Very sturdy and just love the larger size. The automatic open feature is a plus too.

While you can get two people under this umbrella it it doesn't seem as commodious as I expected. It is heavy, but I think that's a plus.

Works great in the wind...a little difficult for some of the smaller crowded streets of Boston, but overall a good purchase.

This is the best umbrella I've ever owned. It's strong, opens fast and the handle and tip are very well made.

This was purchased for my wife, who as mamaw, pics up our grandson from school. The wind ate her small umbrella, plus it wasn't big enough to keep her and our grandson out if the rain. He stayed dry (of course) while mamaw always returned with her back (and backside) drenched. This umbrella proved to be the answer. My wife loves the design of the handle (it fits perfectly in her hand), the quick opening push button, the resistance to wind and, of course, the size. Sometimes I think she and my grandson wish for it will rain by the time school is out. The product has performed as promised and expected. I may have to buy another one, for now it is I who is left standing in the rain ;)

Great umbrella, the color is wonderful, the green is a lovely and even better looking in real life. The umbrella feels sturdy and feels comfortable in the hand. Will definitely be buying the blue one next.

I live in Chicago, the Windy City. Yes, yes, I know, named that way for the politicians. BUT, we do get a lot of foul weather and strong winds too. And this umbrella has been able to survive two lousy falls, winters and springs. Elegant, sturdy, extremely well made. Love it.

It is very well constructed. Looks professional. But I am retired and wanted something more luxurious and qwerty like Alexander McQueen --out of my reach. This great value for the cost.

I was looking for a quality umbrella with an automatic/button opener and this one works great; it pops right open. I bought two of these for our cars. We live in Florida where it rains half the year. These are very sturdy and don't collapse in windy conditions. I've used these for a year or two already and theyre still going strong. They have wide coverage. They're attractive. I have large hands, but I find the handle a bit large and I might have preferred that the umbrella was an inch or two smaller. It's not an umbrella that I would travel with or carry around all day. But I'd still buy this one again for the uses I put it to. Worth the money.

I shopped a lot before I bought this umbrella. I'm very pleased with the quality and price. I was sick of junk umbrellas that don't hold up to use.....I expect to get years out of this one.

I love this umbrella. It's sturdy. It's beautiful. It has a very nice handle and color. Oh, and it keeps me dry!

excellent product and service. bought a second one.

The cap on the tip of the handle is not glued very well and may fall off if you accidentally let the umbrella fall to ground.

Very high quality and nice design.

The umbrella is beautiful and appears sturdy and great for someone taller than me at only 5'2'It's also heavier than other cane umbrella's I have. Probably because it's a good sturdy product.I need a cane umbrella because of a bad back.Living in the tropics, we have frequent showers or hot sun, so a cane umbrella I want must meet the expectation of protection from the elements and support me just a bit.In the photo, the tip appears to be rubber.It's not. It would be dangerous to use for support on anything slippery or hard like tile or asphalt.I returned it since the men I'm close to rather just walk in the rain unprotected :-)

Sturdy and good looking...It is large....

It looks great, feels solid, will see how it works on heavy rainy days. Right now it�s a 5stars to me.

I am in NYC 10 days a month and it is likely I will need an umbrella at least a few of those days walking around the city getting to the office. I was impressed with this umbrella right out of the box! It is substantial and sturdy which makes me think it will last. Time will tell about the durability -- for now, I am quite pleased.

Love love it it�s so cute and also big enough to cover 2 people in the same time

Well made umbrella. I have not needed yet. I purchased a new car and care it just in case. Much better quality than offered in most stores.

I loved, it's resistant.

This umbrella is a great piece for any business man or anyone who likes to dress casual. The umbrella is strong and repels water as specified in the description. I would recommend this umbrella to any of my friends and colleagues.

great umbrella

It�s sturdy. I like it. Could have better materials though. Overall great quality.

It's BIG and bold! It covers me all the way around. Very sturdy. Why did I used to buy dinky umbrellas, I'll never know! Just love it!!

very good

I'm not sure how one gets excited about an umbrella, but here I am...excited about an umbrella. It's been raining here for a week & my old umbrella (a flimsy one I'be had for years) got caught up in the wind and finally needed replacing. I decided to come online and get a high quality one that's sturdy & I wanted a traditional cane umbrella. Someone else mentioned how forceful it is when it opens. It's actually pretty impressive how it opens and almost pulls you forward a bit. I'm so glad I got this. I love it & can't wait to actually use it.

I like it

The great reviews made me biy it! I love it. This is the best umbrella I have ever owned.

Little did I know when I bought this umbrella it was going to rain and blow so much in California. I like to walk 2 to 3 hours in the morning and I do it rain or shine. It's slightly bigger canopy does a great job in keeping you dry. It's hearty construction does great in gusty winds and it has not turned inside out in the strongest winds that we have had. It is the best umbrella I have every had.

Unfortunately since I've received my LifeTek Kingston 54-inch Cane Umbrella we've had no rain. But I'm very pleased with the construction and quality. Can't wait to use it. Hope it holds up like I expect and then I'll purchase more for others.

I bought 2 of these umbrellas they came well packaged and no damage. the umbrellas are well built and good workman ship. I would recommend buying this product.

Fantastic! Stylish and Quality.I bought the umbrella as a 'just because' gift for my girlfriend for the upcoming fall/ winter. the J shaped handle makes this a classically stylish umbrella but the modern touches of rubberized grip and steel skeleton make it durable for these fierce desert winds. Awesome umbrella and I will purchase another for myself.

:))))

Very beautiful and sturdy umbrella with double-jointed rib supports so it won't break even in strong winds. It covers a huge area, enough to fit two people under it. My only concern is the red button, which is made of a weak plastic and feels like it might not last, but so far, no problems.

As advertised... sturdy with quality materials and construction. I chose the red version. Often red-colored products viewed online don't accurately represent the color of the product when it shows up at your door. The red umbrella was true to the color online: a very distinguished 'wine' color. Not ugly maroon. Pleasing. PROS: comfortable rubber grip, plastic tip for safety, easy to open button. general feel of quality, sleeve, warranty. In the rain and wind, so far it's kept me dry!

Excellent quality, love it so much!

Great umbrella, it feels strong and has a lot fo quality to it. I would have liked a vent to help with wind but I've never felt like the umbrella would actually flip or invert so the quality is there. They lose one star for the inner ring at the base of the spring mechanism being kinda half on/half off but I think its more because that's where you grip and it's to make it more comfortable, rather than for any functional use.After using this, I had to use my travel umbrella once and realized how much I missed this one. Its a solid choice.

works fine.

Very nice. Solid. Time will tell if it holds up.

The best quality. Sturdy and strong. Worth the price. Very pleased with purchase and would purchase again.

I love my umbrella, first of all is so easy to open. No fussing required, just press the button and the umbrella opens flawlessly. I purchased the burgundy color and the color is rich, not faded. Quality material from the fabric to the sturdiness of the cane and the cane handle, soft to the touch but with texture for an easy non-slip grip. I will definitely buy a second one as a gift.

Functions well to keep rain off. appears to be well made.

As expected

I LOVE this umbrella! It is the best umbrella I've ever had. The quality definitely makes it worth the money.

Quite robust and well made.

Great umbrella for the price. Sturdy, and seems to be well made. It is sleek and modern and fairly light as well.

Well made, sturdy.

Great quality and gorgeous looking umbrella.

I do recess duty on my workThis umbrella works for the rain and the sunLove it!

Purchased for wife who is an elementary school teacher and walks to work rain or shine(school is block and 1/2 away) and she likes it.

Does what it says it does. Sturdy.

does the job

Nice quality. As described and a bit beyond.

my son loves this umbrella

the best umbrella in the market. Period.Buy it to feel it, to use it. Excellent materials,excellent craftsmanship.

I am very pleased with this umbrella. Here is the link to the exact item I am reviewing here ~�LifeTek Kingston 54 Inch Cane Umbrella Automatic Open Extra Large Full Size Windproof Frame 210T Microfiber Fabric with Teflon Rain Repellant Protection (Red)This is truly a wonderful umbrella. It is very large and I love that fact. It has a very smooth automatic spring assisted opening and closing mechanism and the red is a beautiful color. I am posting some pictures with this review so you can see how large and beautiful this umbrella really is. Also I love the fact that the cover that comes with it is actually usable and I can actually easily place the umbrella cover that came with it over the umbrella after I close it easily. That is very unusual as I have NEVER owned an umbrella that I could put the included cover back on it and use it over and over again as I can with this one.This umbrella would easily protect two people from the rain it is so large. This umbrella appears to be extremely well made and is very nice looking too. This umbrella is made with a heavy duty fiberglass shaft so I don't have to worry about getting struck by lightening as I would with a metal shaft umbrella. The canopy of this umbrella is made from 210T micro-weave fabric that is coated with Teflon water repellent technology that repels water and dries fast so that is wonderful. The 210T signifies 210 threads per inch, which creates a denser fabric and should provide superior protection from both rain and sun. Overall this is a very solid umbrella made with care and quality manufacturing. I'd recommend it to any friends who want a large and high end umbrella.I am extremely pleased with this umbrella purchase. What else can I say? I really love this umbrella! I review products that I have a direct interest in and actually use in my life. This product was provided to us at a discounted price in exchange for my unbiased and honest review. This was a great purchase!

Great umbrella. Very sturdy, great grip on the handle, and durable against strong winds. Customer service was really enjoyable to interact with, too.

I received a defective umbrella. Lifetek replaced it with no problem.

I am dry again!!! Wooooo!!! I use it to walk my dog!

It's a great buy.It comes with a cover, it's ergonomic, it is an acceptable size and it is sturdy enough to win in a race against Mary Poppins.

This umbrella has me swooning. I am amazed at the quality of this 54 inch umbrella. The padded cane handle is easy to grip and doesn't slide out of your hand. It is large enough for two people comfortably with no one getting wet. Very sturdy material and holds up in windy condition. Great bang for the buck!!!!

I am very selective with what type of umbrella I buy this particular umbrella from your company meets my needs and a lot of my standards and expectations in the past I have bought several davek umbrellas and have been very pleased with them your product is really good and I hope eventually to own the orange one look forward to promoting your umbrella to other people

Great big umbrella. Covers you so you don�t have to choose between getting your face wet or getting your bum wet in the rain.The automatic opening functionality works well � very responsive when you push the button. Because it�s so big, you do need to manhandle the umbrella closed. That�s not a dealbreaker considering that your bum AND your face are both dry.For an umbrella of this size, it is relatively light. Not light as in �oh crap, my umbrella blew inside out�. But light as in �oh I can hold it in one hand and still carry my briefcase/purse/small child in the other�.I haven�t used it in super windy weather yet, so I don�t know how it will hold up. But it seems really well made and so far ---- based on how well it�s keeping me dry, I am very happy.Plus, I like the red color. It�s sort of a wine color.* I received the umbrella for evaluation and

Great umbrella especially during windy storms.

Great umbrella! As a tall guy, regular umbrellas don't cover me that much. With this one, I can walk under the rain with no problem. Also the structure seems really solid and durable.

Sturdy and durable looking plus classy appearance.
