Amazon Basics Luggage, 28" Large Checked Softside Suitcase With Wheels, With Four 360-Degree Multi-directional Spinner Wheels, Expandable Capacity, Zippered Pocket and Straps, Telescopic Handle, Black

I bought this set for a trip from MN to Japan this spring. I don't travel often and didn't feel like dropping a huge amount of money, but I also have unrealistic expectations of everything going wrong (cue images of zippers ripping apart, bags flying open, handles and wheels cracking off, etc etc). With these semi-opposing thoughts in mind, I did a lot of research on various options until I had it narrowed down. This set was the winner for me based on size and weight, and ended up being perfect!Some highlights:- Sturdy but lightweight. There were no issues with any part of the luggage traveling internationally, and it's lightweight enough that I wasn't concerned with my bags going over the weight limit for checked luggage.- Spinner wheels have held up great so far and are SO CONVENIENT. If you haven't had luggage with spinner wheels, please try them. It was so ridiculously easy to glide through the busy airport and train stations.- All the pieces fit together nicely. They arrived nestled together like a trio of boring, useful Russian dolls. On my way to Japan, I fit everything I needed for 13 days into the medium bag (25") and put the medium bag in the large bag (29"). When I got to my destination I only had one large piece of luggage to worry about, and I got to go home with an entire suitcase full of goodies.Other notes:- My cat decided these are really cool and fun to scratch, and after about 5 days of daily claw use there wasn't any major damage.- The handle doesn't feel like the sturdiest thing in the world. I'm pretty short, so to drag the 29" bag around I didn't need to extend the handle at all. The others I have been careful with, but I haven't really encountered any extendable handles that have felt extremely durable, so who knows.- I do wish there were more pockets, either on the front or back or inside, but I really enjoy pockets and compartments and having my things organized, so that's just a personal preference and didn't ruin my life.Overall, these are great pieces of luggage and I'm looking forward to using them more. They may not be a lifelong investment, but they do seem like they'll hold up for at least a dozen more long trips.

The size and color was just what I wanted. Also, the lock is a TSA lock with good lock functionality which is very important to me. It is very stable, and of great quality. I can fit a lot of clothes in the suitcase because of the size, without compromising the 50 pound limit. Amazon did great with this one.

Luggage was chosen to ensure it would fit under the seat of the airline we were flying (American Airlines). I wanted the flexibility of being able to put it under the seat in case there wasn't enough overhead bin room. Results: when flying in an 737, it was a tight fit, but went under the seat (the wheels were catching on the seat frame a bit). When flying in an Airbus 231, there was enough room that it slid under the seat easily and didn't catch on anything.Durability seems fine, no issues so far. Zippers are fine. I don't like the expandability feature; and its easy to mistake that zipper for one of the 2 that hold the main compartment closed.The only thing I would change is that the extendable carry handle be beefed up a bit. Its a bit flimsy and I am not sure it'll hold up under heavy usage. Since we are only occasional travellers, this should be less of an issue.

This was a great option for carry on size wise and ease of getting through an airport concourse. Reasonable price and functioned well.

I travel for work every other week if not more and have my travel items down to a science. Typically, I take my regular sized Travelpro carry on or my eBags TLS Hybrid spinner but traveling as often as I do, the smaller the better and less is definitely more. So, in search of an even smaller carry on, I ordered the Amazon Basics 18” Spinner and the Travelpro Walkabout 3 19" International Expandable Carry On Spinner to compare (see pics).The Amazon Basics 18” is slightly smaller but fits just as much stuff as the Travelpro 19”, it has smoother zippers, it’s easier to maneuver, it has double wheels for stability, much better internal organization, it’s half the price (Amazon Basics $54.99, Travelpro - $98.99) and all around the Amazon Basics feels better and lighter when filled with the same exact load.I was able to fit enough carefully selected items for a Mon-Fri business trip: work shoes, thin slippers, blow up pillow and pillow case for the sleepless hotel nights when the pillows feel like bricks, quick dry micro fleece travel towel which doubles as a blanket for those nights on uncomfortable hotel couches when you just wish you had a nice blanket while watching TV, water pick, 3 business pants, 3 sleeveless business tops, 1 suit jacket, 1 business lightweight cardigan, underwear for 5 days, pajamas, 2 t-shirts, 1 lightweight sweatpants, jewelry, mirror, portable speaker, lightweight water repellant jacket, and travel wipes. Toiletries did not fit so I’ll carry them in my laptop bag along with a lightweight zip-up jacket, umbrella, snacks, portfolio, documents, chargers, mouse, laptop, receipt pouch, and crossbody purse which fits in the laptop bag.

We got this for my husband to bring on overnight work trips. He really loves it. It has the perfect amount of space and he said it's super easy to maneuver. It's a nice little suitcase.

Size is good and it fits a surprising amount but just know that due to the proportions this bag topples over anytime you put a backpack on top. While that may not seem like a big deal, it happens all the time and sometimes it’s really hard to pick up the bed and you end up embarrassing yourself in public. It also feels a little cheap but I guess the bag is cheap so that makes sense
