        Unfortunately, experience was flawed for me. Received parcel 3 days back, pressed open button, the umbrella flew out like a dangerous projectile with the handle still gripped in my hand. The canopy portion detached completely. Couldn't put it back together. There's a fairly strong spring mechanism which I couldn't load back. Fortunately for me AliExpress decided to offer me free returns and refund on return arrival to their drop shipper UCL in NSW.

        IT was quite easy to return. No fooling around by them. It's on it's way to Sydney. Let's see if the amount is refunded properly.

        Not many bad reviews,maybe a quality control issue with mine. I got the red one.

    I haven't had much experience with AliExpress.
    May I ask, what's the difference between OP's item and this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006966460170.html? When I went to that one, they offered me $8.22 for the first one, a "welcome deal". I purchased a few times from AliExpress before, so not a new AliExpress member.
    Thanks

      You'll get the welcome deal if you haven't ordered in quite a long time. The normal price of that is higher than this so I'd say go for it since you have the welcome deal.

      • ChaseTheSun on 17/07/2024 - 21:33

        How long is a long time?

  • huntingforbargainz on 17/07/2024 - 20:19

    I just received mine not long ago from the last deal. It seems decent and solid build.

  • Pythagoras on 17/07/2024 - 20:35

    Just received mine from the last deal. Feels cheap to me and is really hard to push back down once closed. Question.. once I press the open button on the umbrella, is it suppose to open all the way up and out so that I don't have to push the umbrella up further to lock it in place?

    • SBOB on 17/07/2024 - 20:39

      Yep, should open completely
      Sounds like you may have a dud

    Is this a genuine xiaomi product? Or identical but without a logo?
    Edit — found this "Xiaomi 12 Bone Solid color Automatic umbrella Light Collapsible Large size sunshade Uv protection Note: This is Xiaomi Ecological chain products, so there is no xiaomi logo, thanks."

      i think it's pretty safe to buy with 10,000+ sold.

    • PAXA359 on 17/07/2024 - 21:15

      I doubt it, this is AliExpress, most likely to be a batch of products that was rejected by Xiaomi, due to sub standard quality.

    • Clear on 17/07/2024 - 21:49

      It means that it has come from Xiaomi's crowdfunding site Youpin. Some projects there are funded by Xiaomi and get sold in their stores while others do not.

      This store is called "Xiaomi Tool Store Store" and only has 6 followers. It's definitely counterfeit.

      The real store is called "Xiaomi Mi Store" and has 1.6 million followers.

      Xiaomi ecological chain products (impressively vague) are not actually by xiaomi. They're more like xiaomi affiliate products - made my another company which xiaomi approves of and in return they get to call themselves xiaomi. It's why there are so many xiaomi products. I don't know if there's an actual umbrella made by xiaomi?

  • PAXA359 on 17/07/2024 - 21:12

    Just received mine few days ago from the last deal. It works okay but honestly I don't feel it's made by Xiaomi. As someone above mentioned, it's super hard to pull down the umbrella once it's closed. Material wise is also a cost down version in comparison with the genuine one (Or should I say "the first generation"?) Btw, mine came without an official Xiaomi's box. So… be prepared to "You get what you paid" if you decide go ahead with the purchase. :D

    • Munki Kundi on 17/07/2024 - 21:49

      Agreed.This didn't feel like a fit and finish that I associate with xiaomi.

      • DirtyBoots on 17/07/2024 - 23:11

        If this is xiaomi, quality has definitely dropped. These are nowhere as good as the automatics from xiaomi from a few years back for similar prices.

        • SimAus007 on 18/07/2024 - 08:10

          It's not made by Xiaomi, 100% clear to me based on blank packaging, poor product quality, not being sold by Xiaomi itself via their sales channel and Xiaomi itself does not currently make any type of umbrella.
          Counterfeit goods.

            @SimAus007: Counterfeit is quite the stretch. I've clarified further in the deal with this detailed explanation linked as well.

            The tl;dr is that this is a Xiaomi ecological chain product and fits under the Xiaomi ecosystem umbrella. Other more well known brands include Roborock, Dreame, Viomi, Aqara and Yealink.

            If you want to dive even further down the Xiaomi rabbit hole you'll discover that Xiaomi themselves don't even manufacture their own Xiaomi/Mi/Mijia branded phones, fitness bands or anything really. Zepp manufacture the Xiaomi Mi Bands and sell their other fitness products under their Amazfit brand.

              @Clear: Apple doesn't manufacture their own products either (made by Foxconn in China & India), but that doesn't make them non-genuine (counterfeit). I think you've missed the point.

              • Clear on 18/07/2024 - 14:19
                -1

                @SimAus007: Foxconn don't release products under the "Foxconn Brand Ecosystem" made by different manufacturers and brands. Xiaomi does and they always have.

                A proper Xiaomi product that's not an ecosystem partner has the Mi (old) or Mijia (new) branding. I.e. Xiaomi Mijia Automatic Umbrella.

                The seller has covered themselves by saying this anyway.

    • choofa on 17/07/2024 - 22:59

      Sounds like my old og xiaomi umbrella from a few years back. Was always hard to close, especially that last push back into lock

    • zubzero on 18/07/2024 - 00:06

      I agree, mine also came without xiaomi box and doesn't look & feel like xaiomi quality that I know.
      Hard to press and close too but hopefully works fine and withstand the strong wind yet to be tested.

      Im okay as I paid $9ish for that.

    • flagger on 18/07/2024 - 06:57

      Also agree with this comment. For $10 delivered (using welcome deal), it's OK. The one I got pops out ok and is not that hard to push back in, but it's definitely cheap feeling to me. It has 12 ribs though, so maybe it will last?

    I used this umbrella today Its flimsy compared to the OG xiaomi. The handle is considerably smaller making it harder to grip.

    The OG one lasted me 6 years before i lost it. I dont see this one lasting a year.

    Save your $$ tbh

    Terrible quality. Hard to close and feels almost like the cheap ones you would buy walking past a 7/11 in the rain. I think it would last maybe 2 or 3 rainy days before it’s broken. Save your $$ and spend a bit more and get a proper Xiaomi

    This is not by Xiaomi. The only Xiaomi umbrella I'm aware of is the Xiaomi Mijia one that I own, and it's a beast in terms of build quality.

    • JoeRogan on 18/07/2024 - 11:06

      Is yours this one? Sounds like you rate it pretty well.

        Unfortunately, no. There's a lot of counterfeit Xiaomi products on Aliexpress and I would guess this is one of them. The original Xiaomi Mijia Umbrella is no longer in production. It's a shame as it really was incredible.

        It only came in black and had a squircle shaped handle and silver release button

        I did hear the Xiaomi 90fun umbrella wasn't bad. It folds in reverse which is kind of cool, and has an LED light.

  • callum54 on 18/07/2024 - 11:28

    I've never had good experiences using AliExpress or similar online stores. I find that 90% of all the products are such poor quality. To me it feels like all their products are the "rejected" products that wholesale purchasers/people who source wouldn't buy. Lengthy shipping, fluctuating pricing, hurdles with refunds/customer service. I'd rather not have the hassle of using these platforms.

    • Clear on 18/07/2024 - 11:45

      If you hate lengthy shipping buy Choice banner products which is nearly everything now. Shipping is typically 7 business days.

    I think the quality is good. Only issue as others have mentioned is that its difficult to close. Better than any random umbrella, but wouldnt buy again
