Great size for 7 day Carribean cruise. Love that it’s a spinner. Moves with ease on carpet. The more you have packed the more effort you’ll need to push on carpet.
I bought this to replace my old medium Samsonite spinner (also a hard shell), which I had used for more than 7 or 8 years. This new one is light weight, spins smoothly, an inch bigger than the other medium spinners of Samsonite's (of the same level), and great that it has a compressor panel/divider that some others don't have. However, the only complaint I have so far is: on 1st use, the scratches on the outside of the shell are super visible and there are so many of them that it looks like it has been used for 15 times, but in reality it was just 1 time! Pretty disappointed on that given it's a Samsonite.
Although this is a sturdy case, the design of the zippered compartment side is very challenging since it opens at the bottom of the case instead of the top like most of the Samsonite product line. If you have your case on a luggage rack in the hotel, your clothes tend to fall out of zippered compartment when it is opened. The only alternative is to open this case flat on the floor. Very bad design feature for this specific product line.
I just used my luggage one time. These is what happen! Iam really disappointed! I always bought Samsonite products but this time was a really big mistake.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
