Omni PC Hardside Expandable Luggage with Spinner Wheels, Black, Carry-On 20-Inch

Samsonite Omni PC Hardside Spinner 20, Caribbean Blue, One Size My last carry on suitcase served me well for over 12 years, accompanying me on countless trips, usually over-stuffed, through winter weather, through slush and rain and dragged across the cobble-stone streets in Berlin. In the last couple years it began to show it's age, but it wasn't until the handle finally ripped off and the inner lining tore a small hole on my most recent trip that I admitted it was finally time to move on. My initial inclination was to buy something cheap - I don't need fancy luggage, I got student loans to pay... So I was poking around and looking at options in the $30 - $40 market, and there were some that looked ok. But then I would dig into the reviews and read about them breaking on the first trip, or having stuck wheels or finicky handles... Not feeling satisfied I put off the purchase for a while. I went to a store and looked at some of these models in person, and I was startled by how flimsy they felt in person. They were not built to handle the abuse of transatlantic air-travel. Feeling ambivalent, I put off the decision yet again. Fast forward to Tuesday of this week, no suitcase purchased, my flight is Friday morning. I pull my old trusty carry-on out of storage and seriously debate taking it on one last journey... just one more time?? The suitcase does not want. So I come back to Amazon and search again until I find this suitcase. It's not super cheap, but it's not expensive either, and it has a great color, and good reviews, and it sturdy in the photos... I'm still undecided, but, well, clock is ticking, I bite the bullet. Suitcase arrived just in time for my flight :-) My roommate carried the box upstairs for me this afternoon and when I thanked her, commented on how light it was. As soon as I open it I am relieved, this is a strong and sturdy suitcase, and it looks smart. The handle is long, and slides out easily, doesn't rattle around like those other flimsier models did. Wheels are seemingly good quality. The body looks quite durable and scratch resistant, the zipper is good quality, oh and there's even a lock. It holds a lot of stuff for how small it is, and it is expandable which is helpful for people who sometimes overpack. UPDATE: Suitcase held up perfectly over 4 four flights over the holidays, on two of which it actually had to be checked because the flight was very full. Not a single scratch or dent, no signs of wear, and it was easy to travel with - rolled smoothly and easily, sturdy handle.

TL;DR: I highly recommend this set. It looks great, seems sturdy and durable in my limited use, and is priced just right. Got the 3-piece set ahead of a week-long trip because I wanted something that looked good and that I could use for years to come. These were priced right within my budget and, in my opinion, were worth the cost. There are cheaper options for luggage, but if you travel on any sort of cadence, you know that quality and durability is the name of the game and that you typically need to pay a bit more for that. I think these strike a perfect balance of affordability, durability, design, and brand reputation. Samsonite was recommended numerous times on reddit's /r/BuyItForLife subreddit, so I decided on this set after reading some of the reviews. I've read reviews that say that Samsonite's quality has gone down, and that may or may not be true, but I haven't experienced any issues. I think it's important to keep in mind that there's always a possibility that someone received a faulty set. That would be frustrating, but it happens. I don't necessarily think it's fair to write off the entire set because you happened to get one from a bad batch. I do think that Samsonite may need to improve it's quality control if this kind of scenario is common enough, but I personally had no issues. I had my checked bag packed tight, even slightly over weight, and had no issues picking it up by the extendable handle. Even though that's generally not advisable, the luggage felt sturdy and I didn't feel like I was on the verge of breaking it like I have with cheaper luggage. The wheels were buttery smooth even going over carpet, the expandable handles glide in and out smoothly, and there are some nice pockets within the luggage where you could put smaller items like AirTags, small accessories, charging cables, spare change, or whatever other miscellaneous small items you might have. If you're like me and get analysis paralysis and can't decide, just buy these. You'll be happy you did.

Solid case went to Africa with it and it took all the bumps and gave great protection to the ornaments I brought back

Samsonite steht nicht umsonst an der Spitze der Kofferhersteller, Gute Qualität und doch sehr leicht um Gewicht zu sparen

I had my previous Samsonite for about 15 years before one of the airlines trashed it, was so happy with quality and durability that I wanted another Samsonite. Although a somewhat boring black colour, this is excellent quality and at a great price point. Very happy with this replacement for an old favourite
