### ⭐ CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP!!  DO NOT PURCHASE!!
*by M***M on April 25, 2011*

I just used these umbrellas for the first time on a photo shoot this weekend. When I went to break the lights down, I couldn't close the umbrellas because the mechanism that opens and closes the umbrella is made of plastic instead of metal and completely melted!! I had to just throw them away right on site.....waste of money!!!!! Ridiculous....do not buy these

### ⭐⭐⭐ OK for Price Point
*by R***T on September 15, 2011*

After reading reviews of this product, and the equivalent Westcott 450 Photo Basics 45-Inch Soft Silver Umbrella, I believe there may have been ifferent production runs, resulting in such disparate ratings between the two products and even just within this product.I am a part-time photographer with serious gear. I needed these umbrellas (I bought a few) in a multi-stand (Impact light stands) setup to diffuse Nikon SB-900 and SB-700 speedlights in an outdoor environment. I am not hard on my gear at all and try to keep everything in "Like New" condition. I even put these umbrellas back in the shipping case when not in use.The bottom line? The umbrellas I received were flimsy. Construction qaulity left a lot to be desired. So much so, I consider these items short-term expendable purchases (a few shoots and toss). The optical quality is fine. Light appears very even in distribution. However, the metal is soft (bends easy) and my version had a plastic mechanism for opening and closing (as noted by another reviewer). When one of the light stands took the inevitable low impact fall due to a slight breeze, most of the umbrella ribs bent. While the umbrella still functions, it will not close completely and is slightly warped when opened.It is worth noting I also bought the 45 inch version of this model and experienced the same issues, which are noted by many reviewers of that model. However, many reviewers praise the 43 inch model. This sort of baffles me unless there were different production runs of this model.Another possibility is the price point. If you get these at a good price point (lower than what it is now), you must accept that you get what you pay for and that may be OK and likely OK for many. For example, If I was not doing outdoor shoots making them more likely to take a fall, I would be OK with them. Hobbyist and intermediate shooters would be fine with these (most likely). But as you progress in your photography and start getting paid for your work, you will invariably find that you require more dependable and rugged gear and will have to pay accordingly. No amount of research or second guessing yourself will avoid this fact. You will soon be paying $40 to $60 for an umbrella and not even blink.When you first start with digital photography the hardest part is learning not to spend so much money. At a certain point, you have to learn to start spending a lot more money after training yourself to not spend money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall pretty good.
*by K***N on June 6, 2013*

I purchased this to go in a cheap Strobist kit and overall it's been pretty good. It's not a compact umbrella, which might be an issue for some, but I knew that when purchasing it so I can't count off for that. The shaft has dented rather easily in a couple of places, especially compared to my LumoPro umbrellas which seem to be standing the test of time a little better, but the issue isn't severe so I'll give it 4 stars. On the upside, mine didn't come with the black and red lettering shown in the picture.
