I purchased the 25 in American Flyer Elite Quattro Upright suitcase in red and I totally LOVE it. I have some mobility issues and this suitcase works very well for me. The special handle on the entire line of Elite Quattro suitcases allows you to not only pull up the handle but you are able to SLANT the handle so you can keep all four of the spinner wheels on the floor. I found it very handy to be able to actually PUSH my suitcase in front of me. It actually works sort of like a walker in that it stabilizes your balance and makes walking a breeze. (I have arthritic knees and this suitcase was heaven sent for my trip to Florida!) I would encourage anyone with mobility issues to try not only this suitcase, but also the carry-on size and the traveling case. I was able to put the travel bag on the top of the carry-on and actually push the carry-on inside of the plane to my seat. You can't go wrong with this product!
I have arthritus and have problems walking long distances, this bag was so wonderful. You can push it much like a walker so the three airports I just came through were so much easier with "Big Red". I bought the bigger of the two suitcases so I could half pack it for weight and balance. It does not fall over, the wheels are very sturdy and pushing it was a dream. I could acutally lean into it with the handle and it glided me and my possesions through the airport. Escalators no problem. I love this suitcase. I have spent a small fortune on suitcases only to be disappointed, The only downside to it's beautiful red color is that luggage handlers got it filthy. But being big and red helped find it amongst tons of other suitcases. I should have sprayed it with scotchgard.
This bag is massive. The unique handle configuration was nice for pushing it through the lines at the airport. It rolls very nicely and held everything I bought and more. This is the bag that the matriarch of the family carries so that they have enough room when others run out. Good qaulity too.
I like this suitcase and will test it out here soon. I like the handle that bends toward you so it can be pushed. Also, the bag is a little more square so it can hold more. I think spinner bags are the best way to go especially through an airport. I don't like to spend alot on a bag because of what it has to go through. This size is a larger bad with the spinner without the outrageous high price. Also, the top of the bag by the handle makes a nice flat base for me to set my 17" carryon on while making my way through the airport maze.

Out on my first trip with my new luggage... so far, so good. For a traveling lady professional the size works for 3 sweaters, 4 blouses, 2 pairs slacks, two additional pairs of shoes and all the extra stuff a girl like me needs to have on a week business trip. It was very easy to maneuver on the plane and not too heavy. I like the idea of not having to check my luggage and pay the price.... perfect, so far for my needs.

Luggage is perfect size, nice and deep. Handle is easy to use and case swivels around any object. A good buy for the money.
It was a gift for a friend. She seemed to like it. I was impressed by it.
I have been scouring the internet for a particular suitcase a friend of mine loaned me called Samsonite Ultralite III, which had an angled handle and shelves. I found this American Flyer Elite Quattro and was saved! I love this suitcase. It is the closest thing to the Samsonite. I only wish the American Flyer had the same EZ Big wheel and snap on shelves that the Samsonite has. All in all it was very easy to maneuver around the airport terminal and I could put my other bags on top of it which was great. I would highly recommend this suitcase! Love it.
