If we have a garden or a terrace and we want to make the most of it, we must equip ourselves with a good parasol that allows us to eat or rest outside without burning or getting too hot.
There are endless different models of parasols on the market, but at El Comprador de La Vanguardia we have decided to test the best-selling model on Amazon to see its quality up close. We are talking about the eccentric Vounot.
It is a large model, specifically 300 cm in diameter, with a crank, a protective cover, which effectively protects from the sun’s rays and is eccentric, that is, the pole holds the umbrella from above and is positioned to one side.
If you are thinking of buying a parasol, we recommend that you read this article. We have tested it for more than a month on a medium-sized terrace to see its quality up close and we will tell you about it so that you can know if this is the model you need.
We ordered the product, it came to us within 72 hours disassembled and in an elongated strong box. We have put it to the test for a month on a medium-sized terrace.
With the price it has, and the wide variety of opinions it accumulates on Amazon, we had doubts about the quality of this Vounot parasol. However, after testing it for a few weeks, we must say that it is a very practical model and with a very good value for money.
We ordered the model in gray and it arrived disassembled, but the assembly was simple and fast, just assembling the main parts. Once assembled we were able to verify that it is a very large, useful parasol, and that the manufacturing materials are of quality.
One of the features that we liked the most is the handle to open and close it. In fact, it goes very fine and requires no effort. In addition, it opens and closes quickly, an important aspect if the wind suddenly blows or a sudden downpour falls.
It is also important to note that, once folded, it is quite compact and can be easily stored in any corner of the terrace.
Although it is available in various colors, we liked the gray tone a lot because it totally blocks the sun’s rays, offers a good shade, but passes through a slight lightness.
It has support that allows it to be upright without the need to add anything else, but if the wind blows a bit it quickly loses stability. Therefore, we recommend buying a support with enough weight to ensure that it remains in place and thus avoid shocks or accidents.
Negatively, we must say that the cover (included) has an adjustable cord that has broken in less than a month.
