You know what's a great idea? Scale this up 4x and make a patio umbrella with built in fans and misters.

[@jeremytd7072]

You hit the nail right on the head!

[@spencers4121]

They sell fan misters that really work, and just get a patio umbrella or tent shade.

[@rustynailmendlesohn8710]

Nice idea but I just want to wind up patio umbrella at the end of the season and call it a day. If I had to worry about fan blades and water tubes and whatever, it honestly becomes the hassle from another planet.

[@Snerdles]

Add solar to the top to auto-power the fan and an adjustable timer for the mist sprits and you have yourself a great hot day patio umbrella. Though, now it's probably going to be a 500 dollar umbrella.

[@Mike-42069]

@@Snerdles great ideas.

[@mrsmissy2669]

James, you're just too kind. For this price, I think it's a dud. The fan only works for still wind conditions and the mister doesn't seem to mist, it rains. I think the bottle hanging at the bottom would be too heavy for me after awhile, too.

[@robinbrook5624]

Hmm Maybe some crushed ice in the bottle for a cooler mist/rain.

[@ELPRES1DENTE45]

"The Opposite Umbrella."

[@RaynmanPlays]

It's more of a parasol than an umbrella. Yes, technically, the term "umbrella" can refer to parasols, but it's clearly something made to provide shade, not to provide protection from rain.

[@thenewamaster]

Umbrellas but if they were evil.

[@OutsideDuhBox]

It works...dont need it to be auto. Just mist "as needed"

[@nkumar1]

A mist-opportunity, ta dum tsss...

[@DarKnightKilla13]

Seems to me like as a proper UV/sun-blocking umbrella it's well made... but the fan and mist features need a little more fleshing out. Nice to see the batteries last a ridiculously long time instead, though. Guarantees at least a full day of use. This certainly seems to also not be a good product for humid areas, although the fan might be kind of alright. I think some of these products just need a few tweaks, like a bigger and stronger fan motor and then bam it's good to go.

[@Snuzzled]

He didn't actually test the uv blocking though unless I missed it.... It might not actually do much to block uv :/

[@Gkitchens1]

The point of the fan is a light freeze to cool the mist, so if there’s a breeze outside you won’t feel the fan On. And it sprays the top of the umbrella and soaks the mesh so the fan is blowing cool air. I think a better understanding of the intended use would have helped you lol, but if there’s average person doesn’t know then that’s the company’s fault lol.

[@narakusdemon.88]

Looks like a great idea but could be improved. I live in a humid climate so the mist wouldn't be very helpful. I think you did a comparison about some products in dry and humid environments but I'd love to see a review focused on staying cool in humid environments!

[@Freakinreviews]

If they had an adjustable, battery-operated mister either built into the handle or just above the head, it would be a winner. And yeah humid-weather gadgets are tough for me, although I've done a couple while traveling, such as the Koldtec Towel.

[@maryroberts2099]

See Baileys smart, she just sits under the tree for shade

[@helenramsdell1959]

Your reaction to the mist made me burst out laughing. Thank you for being the guinea pig so we can avoid products like this.

[@advang4820]

The reverse Umbrella somehow turned out to be real, and no longer exists in cartoon world only anymore.

[@abou824]

Maybe for Vegas, but that would make anybody in a more humid climate feel sticky!!

[@HunterHerbst]

Honestly, living in Florida, when I'm outside working during the summer I'd much rather have misting on me than nothing at all. Not as effective as a dry climate but I'd probably give it a shot

[@IMDARKFIRE007]

I live in Dixie....we have like 30 words for humidity lol. A mister would do exactly that, make you miserable....but with a fan on you as well? It should still be effective, especially versus nothing.

[@jwall6006]

@@IMDARKFIRE007 here in the Arizona desert we have numerous words for hot. The top 3 for me is “hot as hell”. 109° here today.

[@CharleneCTX]

@@HunterHerbst I live on the Texas Gulf Coast. The idea behind misting is evaporative cooling. With our humidity that would just add wet that won't evaporate. It's a pass for me.

[@ku8721]

@@jwall6006 The you are exactly the person this is aimed towards. Me living in New England this would be next to useless. The mist is probably drier than the ambient air!

[@cyphre]

Can't wait for more real world tests for beating the summer heat! You're definitely in the place to be for the worst case scenarios! I imagine they didn't add an automatic mister because the tiny pump necessary to make that happen would be loud and annoying.

[@metern]

One gust of breeze, and the umbrella tips over.

[@Leehensman]

Love seeing Bailey, such a lovely dog.❤

[@perkusionrols]

I had this in my shopping cart and was thinking about it. I have a UV blocking umbrella already and love it but the fan and mist was appealing to me. Your review came at the perfect time. thanks a bunch!

[@luciferfaust]

If it actually worked as intended, this would be amazing for folks like me with sun sensitivity. I'm from Jersey and the summer beach is a huge part of the culture here. I grew up going all the time but I'm on meds now that make me burn super easy. I actually carry around an umbrella outside when I go, the sand ones don't cut it.

[@lawnmowerdude]

The fan part is pretty cool.

[@m.hreels9822]

That's really cool that you can attach disposable water bottles to this, but it's a shame Aquafina doesn't fit 😂. Dasani bottles better work! Otherwise, you're going to be going to a lot of venues where that thing can't attach, lol.

[@sailorbrite]

I didn’t mind you opening the umbrella indoors in terms of bad luck, but I was surprised you sprayed the water indoors! 😆

[@MQZ17]

If there was a version without the mist option and thus cost less, I would be interested

[@stevenmiller7747]

How ironic, an umbrella that sprays water on you. It’s like selling ice to Eskimos.

[@itsROMPERS...]

Actually, patio misters are very common in places like Arizona, in private homes and public places like outdoor cafes, and is very effective. You usually don't feel water, it just feels like a cool breeze. It's more like selling heat to Eskimos.

[@munseyrohnan]

I have one kislux bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...

1:41 Its so interesting how you mentioned that. Over in Bangladesh, we believe in the same exact thing.

[@bendingsands87]

It's a bummer that it costs so much already. It could easily be upgraded with a rechargeable battery, fan motor for power, and misting mechanism. I'd love to see a KZbin maker give this an ultimate upgrade.

[@jaehaspels9607]

They should make the bottle shaped like a cone so you really could just stand the umbrella up. The mist and fan idea is good in arid zones but not in places that are humid.

[@Soapdish747]

To the boneyard with this thing! 🤣💀

[@doel89]

THE IRONY OF RAINING IN THE UMBREALLA

[@itsROMPERS...]

It's only good in a dry climate. Right now I'm perfectly comfortable in my house in NM cooled by an evaporative cooler which works like a big humidifier, and it's 97⁰F outside. It works best if the mist is extremely fine. If you feel drops like that, it's too coarse.

[@ravenm6443]

The idea is definitely there! I hope there’s improvement. I wonder if finer mesh would help some? I don’t think it’s the solution though.

[@loverlyme]

For that umbrella, they should include a solar panel (flexible ones) to charge the battery, or one that charges whilst you walk.

[@cyberi4a]

A smell people talked about could have been resold returns that were wet inside and never allowed to dry before being returned. Looks like it would be heavy with the water bottle which may be hard for some people to hold and pump at the same time.

[@loverlyme]

In Australia we'd need to add a bunch of strings with corks attached (or a large net) to keep the bloody flies off!

[@-13eNnY-]

The only real use for something like this would be at an amusement park imo. It's the only place you would have access to free water, would probably be out in the sun long enough to warrant using it, and have enough places to rest or prop the umbrella down so your arms don't get tired. At around $50, it's not outrageously expensive for an umbrella. It's a bit expensive but not so much that it's complete nonsense to get this over a regular umbrella. Especially since the umbrella itself seems pretty well-made.

[@scapwell]

It's great for walking to and from bus stops and waiting at bus stops when you're carless in hot climates.

[@lady_draguliana784]

more a _spray_ than a "mist"

[@dummatube]

The dog has more sense, sitting under the tree😅

[@jay13982]

What about the weight having to carry that full water bottle at an unusual angle? Seems like the hand would get tired.

[@ravfan52]

Chair with a cupholder would go hard with that

[@doe9de995]

Well, if you want to use the umbrella for the hot sun, great. If you need it for rain protection, the misting function kinda defeats the whole purpose of the umbrella. But then again, you don't really need to use it like that.

[@MiguelRamos-he1yv]

Took him a long time to read the instructions he changed his shirt. 😂

[@ShazeemKhan]

my positives on it: I love how opaque it is & the size. Where I live we call large umbrellas "house & land"

[@DJDRFUNKJUICE]

Life hack. Put some nice water with ice and put it in the refrigerator overnight. Pour it in the bottle is going to be nice and cold under in the umbrella ☔ great review

[@usernameisusername]

Won't work for me very well. I live somewhere too humid

[@melodyparra2960]

You would think since it’s an umbrella, it would be solar powered or at least have the option of it not just using batteries

indoors badluck? do they make them outside?😂

[@ItsJustLisa]

Well, I’m guessing that this umbrella will definitely protect you from UVA and UVB exposure! While $65 is pretty pricey, as a broad spectrum sun protection umbrella might balance part of that out. Maybe if the fan blades were a bit more substantial, it would work better.

[@MARTINREN1231]

There is this umbrella from Jisulife(Jisulife FA52) with just the fan. The better thing about is it that its rechargeable, and its foldable and can be put in a bag.

Hey James not a question about the umbrella but is that a squirrel escape ramp that you have "holding up" your wall in your yard? As someone who has dogs that love chasing something furry that's running away I appreciate that.

[@DidYouReadEULA]

2:41 😆

[@brianm.595]

This but the stationary patio furniture equivalent of it is excellent on a hot day. I don't know about walking around with this whole setup. Ive seen tubing kits you can mount to items like umbrellas.. you just hook your hose up for the pressure.. forget a manual trigger.

[@Giggles56]

Looks like all it's good for us shade and a bottle of water to drink and not two hands. Maybe if the mister ends were pointed downward might not hit umbrella ceiling and drip. But with the mister drips, personally I'd use bottle for drinking when walking

[@tdelfino2]

Selling an umbrella that only rains under the umbrella is diabolical

[@rolar321]

Thank yo so much for telling it in centigrade. :)

You could maybe just tape one of those small hanheld fans to an umbrella for a diy version. Minus the water, but that didn't seem great anyways.

Use a regular umbrella. a round the neck fan, and a spray bottle. Cost much less, does not look stupid, and individual parts can be replaced.

Seems like a decent umbrella but that is about where it stops. Good idea though, just needs some revamping.. Bigger fan along with a powered mister ring not just a small regular nozzle.

[@kzhemh]

Best to use recharable batteries if you use it every day

[@AKayfabe]

I’m not quite understanding why you would want to have water coming from an umbrella if you are trying not to get rained on? Is this only a sun umbrella? I wonder if it would get tiring for some people, to have to hold it with the water bottle on it after a longer time period. Is it way heavier than a normal umbrella?

[@itsROMPERS...]

It's only a sun umbrella. If the water mist is fine enough, in a dry climate like Nevada or Arizona, you should never even feel the water because it should just evaporate and make the AIR cooler before it can fall on you. Misters for cooling are very common in dry climates.
