Traveler's Choice Toronto 29-inch Expandable Hardside Spinner Upright

As this is our largest suitcase used in over 40 years of extensive travel, we had some initial concerns about overall weight and durability of it. When fully packed it was very heavy and if not for the young, strong back of my companion, it would have been too difficult to maneuver through Europe's train stations and systems or lift into car trunks. The four wheels did make moving this monster around relatively easy when on smooth, hard surfaced flooring. Though challenging, this "new" suitcase was treated as carefully as possible and we avoided dragging it up stairs and curbs, so that when we returned home, it looked like new. The one major disconcertating complaint we have is that when packed, the zipper closures were insufficient to keep the two halves of the case stable and they shifted continuously, though no damage to our belongings ensued. Overall, we are very happy with this purchase after one 15 day European trip and especially like the bright and attractive blue color as it is so easy to spot on the airports' luggage carousels.

We purchased two of the gold lcolored uggage for recent vacations. Was easy to spot them in the baggage claim area ! Used for multiple vacations, and just recently for two weeks in Europe -- survived the baggage handlers, being pulled through cobblestone streets, being thrown in taxis and tossed on trains without any issue or damage to the luggage. Lots of space - more than anticipated. Packed more clothes than I needed in Europe, and still had plenty of room. Luggage also came with TSA approved locks. Very happy with our purchase.

Although I have yet to use this product and put it through any actual airport torture tests, it seems sturdy enough to make through whatever baggage handlers can dish out - I hope. It is roomy enough for at least a week's worth of travel and the pop-up top will be a benefit for the return trip home with souvenirs.
