Traveler's Choice Rome 24-inch 'Spinner' Hardside Upright

I was looking for a new luggage set for our European cruise and was looking for something durable that would last a long time since we travel a lot , as well as something that looked great. I spent countless hours online researching different styles and types of luggage and wanted something that was a good value. I must have read a million reviews on the products I researched and actually the reviews are what pushed me into making a decision. I was extremely suprised at how quickly I received the luggage from overstock and the luggage looked great. The only thing that was disappointing was the smell of the luggage when I took it out of the box. I unzipped it and let it air out for about a week before I began packing and it was fine. I was a bit concerned about the weight issue since I have had to pay extra at the airport many a times in the past for my luggage being overweight. This is no longer an issue with this luggage. If anything I was underweight! The true test was how durable it was going through the airlines. We flew to London and then on to Spain, then got on a cruise ship and then back . I was pleasantly surprised when I picked up the luggage from baggage claim with not even a scratch on it! Since the initial trip, we have used the luggage two more times with absolutely no issues, dents, marks or scratches. It's so easy to locate your luggage on the baggage claim carousel, as it's not your typical black luggage that everyone else has. Another feature that I love are the spinner wheels. I have never had any luggage with those and now I can't live without them! It makes it so much more convenmient and easier to manuever around. I gave this luggage 5 stars all the way around because I truly love it and am very happy with it. I am considering purchasing more to add to my collection for my family of 6.

I love that it is so amazingly light; the weight of a packed suitcase is from my clothes, and is minimally from the suitcase itself. That saves my back and it saves money when weighing bags at the check-in counter at the airport. The wheels are very smooth and strong, which really helps!

I travel often overseas and needed strong, lightweight, hard sided, spinner luggage. Strong, because the carry on size is being thrown into overhead bins and dragged around over all sorts of surfaces, from airport terminals, to dirt roads, to cobblestones. Lightweight, because I am old, and not as strong as I used to be, and some countries have very low weight allowances for luggage. Hard sided to prevent easy pilfering by unscrupulous airport workers. Spinner wasn't a need, but when I saw others walking along the concourse pushing their spinner luggage with one figure I liked that, not having to pull my suitcase around behind me. This luggage, which I now have in three sizes, fills all of those requirements, and it's very roomy inside. The 24" easily holds two week's worth of clothes.The 21" easily holds one week's worth. I've taken it to India, China, Mexico, Russia, South America and all over Europe with no complaint, only praises. This is my favorite Overstock purchase to date. Can't recommend it enough. If you travel a lot, the 21" and 24" are the perfect sizes. The next size is pretty big, and won't be accepted on some trips, but is the perfect suitcase for a longer cruise. I have had the suitcases sent off the plane dented, but the dent popped right out, with no damage. I hope your experiences with this are as good as mine.

I purchased this piece of luggage as a smaller alternative to my extra-large Under Armour duffel bag and to avoid having to pay extra money at the airline ticket counter because my bag was too bag.. Lets just say I was Amazed with the luggage! It holds 4-5 days worth of clothes, and I always pack more than I need. It is super light, way lighter than a gallon of milk. It went through the airlines and held up like a champ! I love the fact that it has a large zippered pocket on the inside top and a smaller zippered pocket for toiletries. The only issue with this luggage is when I first took it out of the box, it had a strong odor, so I left it open and let it air out and it smells fine now. I always keep a dryer sheet in all my luggage to keep them smelling fresh. Oh, and the free shipping is totally worth it! I placed my order late Saturday night, and received it on Wednesday!
