I have owned a full-size, auto open Gustbuster umbrella for six years. It has exceeded all my expectations and works perfectly, even in the strongest of winds and heavy rain. The auto open has never been a problem, and I like the larger size because it keeps more of me dry, not just my head & shoulders. Well worth the extra money. I know people who buy $10 umbrellas and have to replace them when they turn inside out. Won't happen with this umbrella.

I was told by a co-worker about the umbrella and how great it was, especially when it is raining and windy.
So, I decided to order one, it has lived up to what my friend told me. When the wind in blowing, no worry that your umbrella will turn inside out and break.

I've owned a Gust Buster for over 5 years now and it works great. I've had it out in the early winds of a hurricane and it worked exactly as it was intended. I like the big size because it keeps the rain away from more of me than the smaller ones do. Mine isn't automatic, so maybe that's a problem, but every automatic umbrella I've ever owned eventually stopped working and had to be opened by hand.
 Poor quality, warranty is deceiving December 18, 2004

I bought a GustBuster umbrella several months ago, expecting that it'd be the last umbrella I ever needed. Wow, was that a bad decision. This "windproof" umbrella had two of the spokes break in a light wind (the weather report said the winds that day were only about 15 miles per hour). So I e-mailed the company because I remembered that it had a "lifetime guarantee." They told me that I'd have to ship it back to them (which is perfectly fine), but I'd also have to pay them $10 for their trouble. What kind of lifetime guarantee is that? For $10 or less I could buy another umbrella locally. Their product has proven that it's NOT superior and it DOESN'T live up to the claims they make for it.
Don't spend all this extra money on a GustBuster because you think it'll work better. It won't. Go out and buy a normal umbrella for 1/3 or 1/4 the price of a GustBuster -- you'll probably get the same amount of use out of the normal umbrella, and you won't be paying an outrageous price for something that doesn't work the way their marketing claims.
