Holding up, but construction doesn't feel solid
I've used this for three trips now. I got the Salmon color.
Admittedly, I'm no expert on luggage, but this is my second suitcase I've owned. The first one I got in high school and lasted me 20 years. It actually still works great, it's just that one of the wheels has a chunk missing from it so it makes some noise as it rolls. I decided to get this one because I wanted to get a pair of matching suit cases for me and my wife, who previously didn't own a suitcase. I specifically bought this one because I liked the colors, it looked rugged from the pictures, the price was great, and my wife also needed a duffel bag.
Pros:
- The wheels seem to be great for rough surfaces.
- I love the color
- As advertised, the size is perfect for carry-on
- So far, it's holding up without any problems
- Great price (I paid $60)
Cons:
- The material collected a lot of dirt from the airplane cargo bay
- If I pack something heavy, like my 17" laptop, on the top of the luggage, it doesn't sit upright. It falls forward.
- Though I said it's holding up, the inner liner seems like thin plastic and I won't be surprised if it rips soon. The zipper doesn't seem rugged enough. And the retractable handle seems flimsy. Time will tell.
- I've pinched my finger in the retractable handle a few times.
- The duffel bag could be a few inches bigger.
