> 3 dayThis is a great weekend suitcase. You can only get three days worth of clothes but that is what I purchased it for.

> 3 dayWow. This suitcase has survived my first trip with it abroad. I am *not* a light packer, and have completely demolished previous suitcases’ wheels in the past. I traveled halfway across the world, and these wheels have held up with incredible force. I love how they glide on the pavement, too! They make transportation so much easier—especially over rough surfaces, around curves, and up and down hills. Shoot, I basically scaled a mountain in Hong Kong with this baby (never again, though)!

> 3 dayVery nice looking case with lots of features. However I had to return this one because the PC easy access section takes up about a third of the case however this is only a problem for me if im only bringing bulky items. I was actually hauling around an Xbox and it just takes up too much room in the case. Because one half of the case is already half full cause of the external pocket bring anything bulky like an encyclopedia and now your left with about 1/4 left of case to pack with. But for normal trips its ok but a conventional case is better for hauling around anything bulky or large.

> 3 dayI wanted to wait until after I had used it to review this suitcase. Just got back from a 2 1/2 week trip via plane, train, bus and car. The suitcase performed well. I had originally ordered a 28, but returned it because I thought it was going to be too big to handle getting on and off of trains, etc. Im glad I did. This one is borderline, but manageable. Im a 72 year old female, and I wouldnt have been able to handle it by myself, but I had help. After 2 1/2 weeks of pretty heavy use, the case still looks good, wheels and zippers are fine. I did quite a bit of research about wheels, and that was a factor in my decision to order the Delsey.

Greater than one weekI bought expensive Rimowa luggage pieces for a vacation, and they came off the airport conveyor belt after only one leg of a trip very dented with some large bashed in areas and scratches. It was not the lowest price line of Rimowa either, so I was not about to spend a fortune when I needed a few more pieces and repurchase this brand. With weight limits at most carriers capped at 50 lbs per checked bag, I still wanted the lightweight polycarbonate or similar material. Some airlines charge extra for bags sized 30 or more, so I researched bags that were 29 and had all spinner wheels. The expandable feature was a nice bonus as well. The Delsey brand was quite affordable, and I was hesitant to buy, but the reviews were uniformly positive. After a few trips, I have to say i love them, and there are no more dents or scratches than the Rimowa had, but for a lot less money. I will watch the zipper to see if this is the area that could damage, but so far so good.

> 3 dayWe have had this suitcase for about 3 months, my partner and I travel a lot for work and pleasure so I did some extensive research on the pros and cons of hard luggage vs soft and the different types of wheels etc. This Aero Delsey line was always one of the top rated and made just about every travel blog luggage rating list I saw. We bought a whole set, the 29, 25 and 2 of these smallest ones the 19 that has the outside pocket and can fit in a overhead bin. I would recommend getting the 3rd party warranty as it covers about anything and is well worth it if you do travel a lot like we do. All of the sizes that we purchased fit inside one another which is great for storage. You do have to get use to how to pack and open the hard luggage if you have never used them before. Dont want all of you stuff pouring out in be hotel. Couple of things I would say to think about if you are looking for new luggage. The wheels are so important, these spinners are great make sure that no matter which luggage you end up buying make sure the wheels are double-sided spinners so its little 2 little wheels on each one (like on office chairs) some of the cheaper, and even more expensive brands have single wheels and they will wear down faster and break more easily. Also one thing to note, when you have these hard shell suitcases and you get to a hotel or where ever you are traveling to, if you are the type of person that likes to setup a luggage stand and just live out of your suitcase sitting on it, these may not be the best option for you. Since items are stored evenly on each side you have to open the suit case fully like a book to really access everything and to pack and unpack it, just something to consider. In the 3 months we have had these we have traveled 2 times internationally and probably 4-5 times domestically like NYC area to FL and NC, checking these hard shell suitcases does get some scratches on them but overall they have really held up well. The side handles, retractable handle and the wheels have all remained sturdy and we have not had any issues. The lock works great on the side and the inside zipper compartment and straps all work great. You can really fit a lot into these suitcases and the best part about this model is that is gives a little unlike some hard shells so you can fit that extra few things in, it also has the zipper expander but we have not needed to expand it any. The luggage looks great and very stylish, have taken it right into meetings with me and even had some complements. Feel free to reach out if you have any specific questions I have included a few photos to show have they have worn as most people probably travel less in a year then we do in a few months.

> 3 dayThis is a very nice piece of luggage. I recently used it for a one week trip to Denver and it was able to hold everything I needed to pack, plus had room for items I brought back. I really like the fact that there are not very many bags in this color which makes it easy to spot in baggage claim. The 360 degree spinner wheels make it easy to cart around. I like this piece of luggage very much.

> 3 dayI am giving this product a one star because the seam on this luggage separated on the first trip. On the second trip the separation turned into a total blow out epic fail!!! :) By the way I purchased this bag on 6/21/2017. And....for the record I did not over fill this luggage.
