We have been using these umbrellas for the last 7 years and they are still going strong. With Oroton going into administration, thought I'd get some spares while they are still available. They are really compact and handy to carry around yet strong. They also open automatically with a button press and furl the fabric closed with another button press, though that is not in the description. May take 3 weeks to arrive. Pay by PayPal in case Oroton folds before your order is shipped.
$75
lol does anyone ever pay full price for these?
Avoid Otoron. Bought a similar umbrella there 2 years ago. One week in a light breeze bent one of the metal supporting rods. Contacted customer service and was met by a lady who clearly hated all things customer service. They refused to offer a refund or replacement stating that apparently some made up policy (which they couldn't give to me in writing) that they cannot refund umbrellas for wind damage.
Now tell me, when it's raining, isn't it mostly quite windy too?
Avoid, Avoid, Avoid.
And no doubt now with the administration some other company is going to take in this customer service champion.
We all know only real Ozbargainers use Xiaomi umbrellas.
But they are free in a lot of cafes & restaurants in a bin near the entrance.
You don't have to go that far, they are free at most hotels you might stay at
Nope only clowns do, a true ozbargainer saves his money and gets wet
No, we use woodworm umbrellas.
If we still have any left. RIP
Did they go bust?
We love Xiaomi
I like these umbrellas, but this isn’t a bargain as they’re always this price or less at the outlet stores. I bought one last week for $21 and late last year for $18 from the Brisbane DFO.
The brand isn't closing anymore. It got bought out by a major shareholder. Also that umbrella is always around that price, as mentioned in an earlier post. However, I have around five of them and they're fantastic.
Bought one last year and it broke after second use.
Same happened to me, they are crappy umbrellas.
They are most likely made from the same factories that make umbrellas for kmart/target etc.. anyway. You are paying more since it has OROTON written on it.
Umbrellas are the new Eneloops!
Umbrella can't power vibrators. Long live eneloops!
real ozbargainers find an offer , coupon, sympathy or otherwise to provide the sensation for free.
Bought one for partner for $30 like 6 years ago when they had a sale, she still uses it fine today, leave it in the glove box for a rainy day
What's the normal price?
