Rockland Melbourne Hardside Expandable Spinner Wheel Luggage, Carbon, Carry-On 20-Inch

I purchased this suitcase for all my grandkids, each a different color. They love that they can wheel their own suitcase through the airport or use for sleep overs at Nanny’s house.

I got this for a ten day trip to Paris & Vienna, using CAT in Vienna for transport back to airport. It's super sturdy and expandable. Holds more than enough, including heads, boots, two heavy sweaters and a lot more. Plus I had room for gifts. The wheels were sturdy and handled well, even up and down stairs. Plus, it looked much more stylish and polished than my soft sided luggage. It did have to be checked because the flight was fully sold, and emerged without a scratch. Great value?

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!

Finally decided I didn’t want to lug my backpack anymore. This also allows me to attach my husband’s carryon & save his back. Good size and rolled well. Handle did retract occasionally when using, but might be learning curve. Some plastic parts (grab/carry handles especially) seem flimsy and will need to see how they hold up. As a carry on, I’m pleased, but not sure how durable as checked luggage.

Great carry on suitcase. Roomy and durable.

UPDATE FEB2015: I have now owned this for over two years. It has close to 100K miles of travel on it. It has been with me through Poland, Mexico, Italy and just about everywhere in-between. I have used this exclusively as my sole suitcase for these past two years. Other than some minor scuffing, it is still as strong as ever. I did inspect the stitching and seams since I figured it would be dead by now. Everything looks as solid as the day I got it. Despite the endless drops off of sidewalks, gravel littered walkways, and two-years of use, the wheels still roll smooth. To date, this has been my most durable and used carry-on/suitcase. ****ORIGINAL**** I travel a fair bit, around the world, for work. This is my go-to bag for all my needs. With proper packing I can get two weeks worth of clothes in and it still fits in the overhead bin of all but tiny commuter jets. I have wheeled this over cobblestone roads in Portugal to sand in Puerto Rico. It has seen Scotland, England, Spain, Germany, Belgium, and many other places. It looks great and still rolls smooth as the day I got her. It is also very light in weight. The only concern I have is the telescoping handle. There is a fair amount of play when it is fully extended. However, despite the play it has not failed once. I am pretty sure it will continue to work as it should, unless of course someone abuses it.

I purchased this in 2014 and am just now replacing it! Hopefully the quality hasn't gone downhill too much. I had just started a job out of school in public accounting and knew that I was going to be traveling. For the price, this is five stars. The price is key. There won't be much for a warranty because it's cheap. The handle is a bit flimsy when extended and the fabric along the zippers is started tearing recently which is why I'm upgrading. If you like to slide a bag on top with the handle extended while in the airport this will likely tip over depending on weight. I was able to survive on this and a small backpack for a two week trip to Europe with some very efficient packing. Bottom line, this is an excellent option for the money if you only need the basics. If you want something with a bit more space, that looks nicer, and has a good warranty, you'll need to spend more.

I used it on my two week trip to the UK, on the day before we left, the wheel broke and my suitcase had to be carried. It was a used a lot but it should not have broken from just normal travel wear and tear.

A very beautiful, affordable and elegant bag. Came neatly packed and with a lock. Inside, it has 2 compartments. One can be closed with zip and the other can be secured with an X-shaped strap buckle. Convenient as a carry baggage in flights.

The good - the roller has so far fit into every overhead bin. Even in smaller regional planes. Looks good, handy pockets on the inside flap, arrived quickly from the seller. The bad - The extendable handle of this roller is flimsy, so the bag wobbles substantially when in use. The spring buttons on the handle constantly loose contact with the holes and the handle collapses. The wheels are also pretty flimsy with the bag tipping over on floor transitions as you roll it in a vertical position. The interior side with the zipper has the zipper closing in the wrong direction to be easily accessible from the top. So if you want your liquids case to be easily accessible at the security gate, forget it, you have to unzip the whole roller to get to the inside zipper. Now you're THAT person at the security line. I can't comment on how durable the hard shell is because I've never checked it so no luggage handlers have tossed it around. Next time, I will spend the extra money to buy a better quality roller because this one meets the minimum that any roller bag would.

Perfect size for carry-on. A little bigger than other brands. Nice colors and sturdy outside. Rolled nicely. Material inside is thin. Inside zipper was broken when the luggage arrived. I ended up returning.

Expandible, compartimentos internos

The measurements provided are inaccurate. This is larger than advertised. Had to send it back
