I bought one for each of our cars when they were a TS on HSN.  I've used one once and it worked well.  They are rather big.

So glad  you mentioned this ... it's exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for.  I've been trying to figure out a way to manage an umbrella "with no hands."   I ordered it from Amazon ... I hope it works.


@ALRATIBA,Anytime I'm looking for something I go to Amazon.    Great customer service and easy returns.  I've never had a single problem.

I'd forgotten I purchased one from HSN.  We haven't had enough rain to use it. 

 

HMMMM...where is it?

The BetterBrella will be the TSV on HSN on Monday, Dec. 12th.  They are pre-selling it today.  It's on the tv right now.

The HSN one is too big to be practical for me but I'd love a smaller one that I could stick in my work tote.


Yes! I want a compact size too. Looks like good quality. This new version has a push button to open it. Each addtl one you buy ships free. 12 colors

Judging by Amazon's offerings the TS is a good deal

I bought this on waitlist when it was a TS in October - just received it a few weeks ago and was going to test it out this week.  That was $19.95 and free shipping but it was the "deluxe" model and this one is the "elite" (only difference I see is the automatic open feature).  Both come with the case with a strap which I liked.  Just saw one in Walgreens for $19.95 with no case I believe.

Am I seeing this correctly that this umbrella is still available on HSN in all colors?? Think it was the TS on Monday but everything still seems eligible to order. That's strange as I thought these sell like hotcakes. Or perhaps HSN brought in hundreds of thousands of them.
