You turn the umbrella upside down outside the car door before you close it--

So if it's pouring out the inside will get wet also.

makena:  I thought exactly the same thing!  When I first saw this on HSN I was wondering why this concept is a good one if all the water sits inside the umbrella in a pool.

I'm giving it a try (in the black/leopard). It's a "$20 bill alert," as Pat DiMentri used to say. l wish the Q would still offer more TSVs and other items under $20.

You close up the umbrella very easily and prop it so it doesn't drop into your car, when you arrive at destination just turn it upside down to drain, like it is demonstrated. Maybe up against the entrance, on concrete, shake it out if you like.

@mimi5775...

I live in Florida, it rains a lot and mine was not cheaply made. We do not get winds like Chicago though, not on a regular basis anyway. I would pay good money for excellent ☔️, I also bought one a few years ago I loved, it was very well made, had a light and sadly left in a restaurant in Atlanta...someone got an awesome umbrella that day.

Please note! I used mine 2 times...kept in garage and button stuck top part inside broke off...cheap! I got on HSN. I looove this idea like you ...yes genius. BUT I'd pay 35.00 for one heck of a great umbrella not junk, I wish there were reviews on this, I do so want it.

The cheap one also could not take wind and we live near Philly, not Chicago lol and again I used 2 times tops.

I wonder wny there are no reviews since they said it sold out the first time they brought it to QVC.   AMAZON sells many at dfferent prices and all made by different companies.  I would like to know who makes this.  Also, most of the reviews on amazon are favorable.  I also wonder if this is the same as the As Seen on TV commercial where you get two for the same price

I'm not sure......  I love the design etc, but the price doesn't seem like a "special value".   I saw the exact same umbrella on Amazon with much prettier colors, for about the same price, with free S & H......   if this is such a special value, it should be MUCH cheaper that what I could find elsewhere.   

---

Yes, cheaper, (even if not much cheaper), and should ship free... I think they have more than a little disconnect with the word special in Q-land...

Yeah, I figure either way (traditional or new) you're gonna get wet and get water in your car.  I hate putting my soaking wet umbrella in my car, so I certainly am not going to prop it up with it full of water.  I'd rather wear my rain coat with my hood.
