Quality is very good, as expected from Samsonite. Two things that are not a major problem but less than ideal - first, the regular (non-extended) handle is a bit tight to the suitcase and not all that easy to get your fingers wrapped around. Second, the zipper pulls that get snapped in to the suitcase lock are a bit awkward to get positioned just right. They should have given them a little more flexibility to allow for easier locking. But other than those minor complaints I’m very happy with this purchase.
the Luggage was good overall, but the lock didn't work well, after lucking it and wouldn't open back up, even when I reset it, so I have to pry it open, to get my clothes out.
it’s the perfect size for a carry on! the expander really helps for longer trips, it does get scratched up but as a black hardcase it was to be expected. spinner wheels work great and it’s lightweight which is nice for putting it in the over head bins
Dimensions including wheels are about 1 inch too large for most domestic flights (22 x14 x 9). I would rather not take a chance at the airport. Why make them too large?
I chose this bag because it fits in most overhead bins. I have a previous model and love it - the new one is for my husband. The handle is on the new one does not operate as smoothly and the metal feels flimsier. It does have a gusset that mine does not have.
