Rechargeable Mister Breeze, Sun Umbrella with Fan and Mister, Umbrella Mister with Built-in Fan, For Festivals, Beach and More, Blocks Harmful Sun Rays, Mist bottle included

Didn’t expect it to work so well, but the mist and fan together really helped me stay cool. Great for walks or sitting outside on hot afternoons.

I am a HUGE fan of the Mister Breeze Umbrellas so when I saw that they came out with a new rechargeable version I had to get one. These umbrellas are great for those hot summer days watching the kids play soccer. Its spf rated and the built in fan really puts out some air. Where I live, I can be super hot then the summer showers come out of nowhere. I actually own two of the non-rechargeable umbrellas which I love but this one is super easy to charge in the car or wherever. There is a led light that tells you when it needs to be charged which is a nice feature. Also, the new rechargeable one seems to have a newly designed handle which is a nice upgrade from the other ones.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Didn’t even last a month. The bottom where the bottle is held broke and I can’t put it back together. The silicone tubing snapped off the first hour I used it. I had to find a replacement that fit at a pet store! Biggest waste of money. It didn’t last our hot day at the amusement park as it wouldn’t stay together!

Took it with me to my son's tournament in Alabama and it kept me cool. The fan was extra strong and I survived the humidity and sun and that was a blessing.

The media could not be loaded. Overall, I really like it. $89 is a lot for an umbrella, but if you have kids that play sports and/or other reasons that you’re out in the sun trying to keep cool throughout the summer, this is definitely worth the money. That’s not me. I only have a couple events that I would specifically use it for during the summer and it was awesome for the first one. Hopefully, it will last a few years.I’ve used the umbrella once and the button cover for the fan button is missing. I didn’t notice it before. It’s not that big of a deal, but the internal electronics are exposed so I asked for an exchange. Update: I found the button cover and was able to put it back on. Update 2: First time I used the umbrella after putting the button cover back on, the cover fell off again and is lost now. This is a definite issue that should be addressed.The fan blades are protected by a net. The fan has 2 speeds. It not only keeps you cool, but the moving air keeps the bugs off of you. The BreezeLife bottle is included with the umbrella. The mister is hand pumped (as seen in my video), not automatic like the fan. You control the amount of mist. You aren’t sitting there with constant water drenching you. I like the rechargeable aspect. They sell a less expensive version that uses AA batteries. You’re also adding weight to the handle by going that route. To charge the umbrella, you’ll need a USB-C charger. The fan button has a red light to let you know it’s charging. I used my umbrella with the fan on for about 3-4 hours and still had battery. There isn’t a battery indicator light, so I’m not sure how much that time drained the charge. The water bottle is detachable so you can remove it if you don’t plan on using the mister. The bottle has a top so you can take it with you and attach it to the handle if you decide you want it later.Cons- the water bottle does not have a standard 16 oz opening. If you lose or crack the BreezeLife bottle, a regular bottle won’t work. You’ll have to find one that does or order a new one from the company. Making a standard water bottle fitting for the handle would’ve been better. That way, even if you forgot your BreezeLife bottle at home, you could buy a bottle of water from any store and have the mist option. I haven’t tried larger water bottles to see if they will fit in the handle. They might, but they’d be heavy.The fabric seems a bit thin and doesn’t block the sun as well as I’d hoped. I could still feel the heat coming through as if I was getting a slight burn.

I purchased this for a day at epic universe, and at first it was great, but the fan stopped working intermittently about an hour into our day and then at about the four hour point it stopped working altogether.I tried recharging it, drying it out because the misting function had gotten it wet and even spinning the fan around to see if maybe it would start, but it was just a lemon.Since my trip is over, I don’t need another one so I am returning for a refund.

Like others have shared this umbrella is a great idea in theory but has a lot of opportunity for improvements. Foremost, the button has fallen off in packaging, replaced and lost in use leaving the components exposed to water/moisture. The tubing was wrapped into the umbrella cinching it so it was unusable until taken out and stretched to recover from the poor packaging. It’s a great device but could use some quality improvements.

I wasn’t sure I’d use all the features, but I ended up using the mist and fan constantly at a soccer game. It’s light to carry and works great.
