这是amazon上面的一个差评(总有人写产品评价跟写论文似的)

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the worst purchases ever made, July 20, 2011
By Stephen M. Charme
This review is from: Nubrella Hands Free Umbrella (Apparel)
If you look at my hundreds of reviews you will see that I rarely write one
star reviews. That is because I generally avoid products like this. However,
my wife saw this on Shark Tank and ordered not one but two because she was
convinced how great this would be. She was dead wrong. Here is why:
1. This product comes with minimalist instructions that do not tell you how
to properly position it so you are not being hit in the head while you are
wearing it. Amazingly, the company's website has no such information either.
Hmmm. That made me suspicious. Eventually I did find a You Tube demo, but
even when "properly adjusted" this still grazed my head and was not
comfortable to wear. No wonder there is nothing on the website.
2. I tried this in a driving rain storm after I adjusted it. While it did
keep my head and shoulders dry, my pants got soaked, which does not happen
with a regular umbrella because when you hold it over your head, it does
more than just protect your head and shoulders. In addition, visibility was
nonexistent. It was like driving your car in a rainstorm with no windshield
wipers on. In addition, while this is hands free, the trade off is that the
handle is pressed into your stomach for support. Not very comfortable when
walking.
3. If you open this in the house before you go outside, good luck fitting
through the doorway. I barely made it.
4. My wife was led to believe that this would be great for bicycle riding
and running in the rain. No way. I tried each, and it was virtually
impossible to do either because with such vigorous movement this kept
bumping into my head, and the handle kept pressing into my stomach. And of
course I also could not see where I was going.
5. This is not something that you can easily stow on a crowded train or bus,
and I seriously doubt that airport security would let you bring this on a
plane. This is also not something that I would want to bring into a business
meeting.
Bottom line: This product is expensive, cumbersome, and does not work as
well as a regular umbrella to provide maximum protection. Hands free is nice
--but not when I am getting soaked from the waist down, can't see where I am
going, and have a handle being driven into my stomach. There is no way I
would recommend it. I have read the positive review, and can say only that I
vigorously disagree.
IMPORTANT: Getting a refund from this company is not simple. I returned the
product via UPS with a cover letter including my cell phone and email
address, but heard nothing. I then managed to speak to someone at the phone
number listed on the website, and was promised a refund. However the company
deducted over 25% of my purchase price for shipping (even though I paid
shipping to return it) plus a restocking fee (none of which was mentioned at
the time of purchase). These are the kind of companies that I try to avoid
no matter what they sell. Fortunately after I disputed these deductions, my
credit card company issued a full credit.
Update June 1, 2012: This product is no longer listed on Amazon. Out of
curiosity I looked at the website to see if there were ANY positive
testimonials from customers. You guessed it--not a single one! In fact there
are NO customer testimonials of any kind. Just some slick infomercial style
videos. That pretty much tells you what kind of product you are dealing
with.
