Melbourne Hardside Expandable Spinner Wheel Luggage, Carry-On 20", Black

Picked this up for a recent trip, and it ended up being a really convenient piece of luggage to travel with. Simple, functional, and easy to handle. Travel experience: The spinner wheels are the highlight. It glides easily through airports and hotels, even when fully packed. Being able to roll it upright without dragging it makes a big difference over longer distances. Packing space: There’s more room than I expected. The interior layout makes it easy to separate items, and the expandable option is useful when you need that extra space coming back. Size & convenience: Good size for shorter trips or carry-on depending on the airline. It’s compact enough to manage easily but still holds everything you need. Build & feel: The hard shell is lightweight and does a decent job protecting what’s inside. Feels sturdy enough for regular travel without being overly heavy. What stands out: • Smooth rolling wheels (huge for travel days) • Lightweight and easy to maneuver • Expandable when you need extra space Minor downside: Like most hard shell luggage, it can pick up scuffs after airline handling. Doesn’t affect performance, just cosmetic. 2-month update: Used on multiple trips now, and it’s still rolling smoothly. No issues with the handle, wheels, or zippers. Bottom line: If you want a straightforward, easy-to-use suitcase that travels well without costing a ton, this is a solid choice. Great for everyday travel needs.

This is a great little carry-on! I bought them for my two grandchildren. One in orange and one in purple. (Wish I hadn’t needed to pay more for the purple one.) There is plenty of space for a long weekend, and hopefully a longer trip now that we can travel with them. The kids, 9 and 11, can easily wheel them and maneuver them. They seem quite durable and I’m hoping they last for quite a while.

As allot of reviewers have already notated, this luggage reeks of a chemical smell. It actually smells of moth balls. Prior to my trip I placed it in a separate room and let it air out for several weeks. Closer to the trip I used a box of baking soda to "suck up" some of the odor. On my trip I included a dryer sheet along with my belongings and didn't have a problem with my clothes smelling. After about three weeks it still has a slight smell of moth balls. If this is an odor you can not stomach, I would just walk away now. I don't take umbridge with it as I took the above precautions, but it did reflect in me giving it one less star. Now, as far as the over quality and durability of the item,it works fantastic. I fly out of a smaller airport since I'm in the Midwest flyover part of the country, thus, smaller airplanes. Anyone who has ever flown on a Canadian Regional Jet knows that the overhead compartments are tighter than tight. I had a full bag (although I did not need to use the expansion zipper) and was able to squeeze it into the overhead bin like a glove. The flight attendant even doubted that it would work and once I was able to maneuver it in, some applause broke out in the cabin. I normally used a backpack on my previous journeys, I was able to get double the amount of clothes and belongings in this bag. I'm an obese guy, so my clothes are double the size of a normal person, I was able to get a weeks worth of clothes, my hygiene kit, a pair of sandals, and a set of shoes in there comfortably. I actually had additional room. The luggage is extremely lightweight and rolls around smoothly on smooth surfaces. The only issue I have with the construction is the handle feels a little flimsy once it's extended all the way (it's of the telescoping variety). If you are a shorter individual, this won't be an issue as you won't need to extend it all the way, but if you're over 5 ft 10 in, then you'll need to telescope the handle. As long as you're pulling it from behind, there shouldn't be an issue, but if you tweak or twist the handle more than just enough pressure will probably break the thing. Another bonus I was not expecting was a luggage lock is included. The zippers work smoothly. [UPDATE: I have had this carry on for an entire decade now! I've bumped the rating up to 5 stars because of its resilience and durability. I've flown around the world to several countries several times with it (and it has the scars to prove it) and it has not failed me once. I'm happy to report the initial moth ball smell dissipated after the first year. Unfortunately, the last year or so the wheels are starting to become a little wonky with age. I'm assuming the wheel bearings are probably going bad, but with as much use as I've received from the old workhorse, that's to be expected. I absolutely love the old gal, we have so many memories together across several continents. The day those wheel bearings finally give out will be a very sad day for me.]

Looks sturdy, though I haven't used it yet. Like the 2-tone color. Wheels move well, quality zipper and good amount of storage space for the size.

I bought this carry on suitcase to replace an old cloth one I had for years. Not that anything was wrong with it, but because of the bedbug scare going around in the world, I thought "better safe than sorry". I like the color and all the other features like separate compartments within. Zippered pockets to keep items away from others, all within the same piece. It held up well on my trip to Mexico. Although I stayed with relatives there, but had I chose to stay in a hotel, I wanted the peace of mind that I wouldn't bring home an unwanted visitor with me or lots. Even for domestic travel, it would definitely affect why I would rather use a hardtop suitcase, just to keep the buggers off. I never actually had a problem anywhere I've been with that. But I have heard lots of stories about this. So I like the idea of traveling on the side of caution now. Anyways back to the suitcase. Yes I like the sturdiness of it. The price was well worth it because of the mobility ease, rolls well on practically any surface. Even the fact that what was packed in there felt very light. Easy to use the handles, zippers, pockets etc. This is one item I highly recommend to anyone else who wants an affordable suitcase for less than what you pay in a store and can be shipped to you. Also recommended for those with the idea of having anti bug luggage while traveling. It will make cleaning the suitcase easier now, being a plastic hardtop, with Lysol or any cleaning agent. Not just critters but even viruses, microbes etc. I'm looking forward to using the suitcase for domestic travel, since it did hold up well on the international trip I just had a while back. Hope this helps lots and safe travels to everyone out there. With this carry on luggage suitcase, you won't go wrong. Godspeed to you reading this!

Good quality and perfect size. Rolls perfect

I’ll review again once we’ve traveled. Bought 2 specifically for travel on Delta because it claims they fit and reviews said they had no issues using them as carry on (without expansion). I had ordered a different brand straight from the company that claims they are carry on but thank goodness I found out before heading to the airport that they were not small enough for Delta. Can’t return them because of their crazy strict return policy (Biaggi). So Amazon here we are. Got the red and the grey with blue trim. No issues with grey one. Looks nice, everything functions well. A little tippy when empty. I’ll give more detailed review once we’ve used them. Red one was packaged differently so I’m assuming it was returned because inside was pink. That didn’t matter to me but the expansion zipper catches and is very difficult to get it started to open. I’d expect it will eventually break. (All zippers on the other bag work great so I doubt it’s a design flaw.) Also a thick string was unraveling at top of bag near zipper so afraid something will come apart. I’m returning it. I wanted to do an exchange to a different color but after I said which I wanted and marked the appropriate boxes continue was still greyed out. I had to click return and then go back and buy again. Why offer exchange if it won’t let us. Tried to search “exchange” but got no result. Original two were delivered 1 and 2 days after ordered. Replacement is taking a week? Replacement is $6 more and is silver with black trim. No clue of inside color.

Zippers appear to be heavy duty. Weight is evenly distributed with easy moving wheels. Have used it many times for travel. Easily holds clothing and all necessary toiletries.
