Electric Patio Umbrella

I've burned out google and the other ones trying to find an electric powered patio umbrella. They have some in the UK and Belgium but shipping would be a killer and wrong power source (220). It could be either 120AC or 12DC. Home Depot.com has a spring loaded assist one but there's too many complaints they don't work well. Situation is my wife can't squeeze anything or operate a crank with her hands, bad nerve problem. If I put it up, I have to stay around if it gets windy or heavy rain. Does anyone have any ideas. Thanks. We don't want one of those wall mounted awnings either.
  • This looks interesting: Umbrella Motor.

    Hmm, auto link doesn't work so here's the actual URL:

    https://www.smarthome-products.com/p-282-154rc-umbrella-motor-with-touch-switch-and-remote-control.aspx

    You'll have to do a Copy and Paste.

    Ow, nice find but at $855US that's a bit over the top.

    Nice find, thanks. I'll have to look into that one for sure.
  • Ouch! Yes, $855 is nuts. I just saw $143 before, which is the monthly payment plan, I guess.

    The link does not work because you put "This looks interesting:" in front of the URL.

    Thanks, I never noticed that. But it's fixed, so thanks again.
