The cost of an umbrella with mechanics distinguishes this model from all the others.
Machine
The mechanism is started with only one button, with which the umbrella can be opened and closed. High-quality products of this type are quite expensive. It is worth noting that cheaper options can break down or malfunction rather quickly.
The main advantage of such a mechanism is ease of use, but the disadvantage is the high cost and expensive repairs.
Cane
An umbrella of this type stands out for its large size, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The product is sturdy and very reliable, but at the same time it is not very comfortable to wear.Models come in different versions, so you can easily choose the right umbrella for everyone. A cane umbrella is often used as a family umbrella, because it is quite possible for two to hide under it in the rain. A distinctive feature of such a product is a long awkward handle, it can be metal or wooden. In addition, this umbrella is the strongest of all types.
