Having 8 wheels really improves handling over the standard 4 wheel spinners I've had in the past and it has a very stylish look. I also purchased the 24" for my checked bag, where I found that the handle felt a little weak once the pounds were added on (between 30 - 47 lbs), but I was still able to manage quite well.
After first use, the bag looks like it is 2 years old. The outside picks up scratches and blemishes easily & picks up dirt/dust. I previously had a Samsonite bag, which looked great for many years. This one no longer looks new a couple of weeks after purchase.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Get Dirty Easily, Wheels Feel Like They Are Not Durable
