This suitcase replaced a larger Samsonite case, as we are learning to pack lighter and don't need heavier luggage, as the larger case was when full. Because of its somewhat smaller size, this new case is more easily maneuvered on its wheels and in general. We used the larger case for several years, and we hope this new one will be a durable.
The case looks good and the zippers, TSA lock, and handle all work smoothly. Unfortunately one of the corners with a roller dented in the first time I checked it for a flight. It popped back out, but it has a crease now so it may continue to happen. Difficult to know how tough the baggage handlers were on it, but I expected a stronger build from Samsonite.
You get you pay for so I’m pleased with the quality of the luggage. This mid-spinner is an add on to the matching 3-piece set I bough my wife. Tossed out my old luggage with no regrets. The only thing I recommend is that the handle could be a bit more substantial and stable.
Fantastic product and just as advertised! I can’t believe how little the bag weighs (granted it’s empty) but still much lighter than I thought it would be! It’s my 1st hard shell suitcase and I know I made the right choice.
