I needed a manual retractable awning for my chip truck. I went with a Toff SolarShield. The testimonials and reviews were average, but the price and criss-cross lateral arms for my small width and large projection needed were the deciding factors. The price was affordable, and I know inexpensive could mean cheap, but time will tell. The criss-cross arms meant I could cover a bigger area when fully extended. I also hope the spring-loaded design at the shoulder joints works as their literature says. Gusts come along roadways quite frequently, and my last awning made in China didn’t survive very long. The acrylic fabric is also supposed to be more water resistant than others. I’m hoping I made a better purchase than my last one. Unfortunately, the service from the local Toff dealer was poor thus the reason for the low assistance/service rating.

My motorized retractable awning by Toff is the SolarShield model. I’ve had it for several months. It’s nice to sit out on a sunny day, but it’s noisy. Every passing breeze seems to cause the shoulder joint springs to squeak and rattle, which isn’t restful. The motor is easy to operate, however, the arms are noisy when moving. I’ve used spray lubricant on the springs as recommended by Toff and other moving parts to try and make it quieter. It’s not super noisy, just irritating. Although the manufacturer’s literature states it’s designed for light rain, it needs to be rolled up dry. If not, the warranty on the fabric is void. The fabric isn’t waterproof. It may be water resistant, but even light rain causes drips to come through the fabric.
