Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I really like this suitcase, especially for the price! It looks good and the build quality feels nice; The quality reveals that it isn't a top-of-the-line piece of luggage, but there's nothing that feels or looks exactly deficient. It's simply a situation where, if you put this beside a $200 piece of luggage, you'll be able to tell which is the $200 luggage. I recently used my AmazonBasics spinner as checked baggage on a roundtrip flight from LA to Sacramento, with a 5 day stay, and was very happy to have it. It worked well, held up beautifully, and the orange color is easily visible which is awesome when picking up your checked luggage. The only thing I don't like is that the texture on the outside surface doesn't allow me to plaster the suitcase with stickers to suit the whims of my inner-child; Some stickers will work but I've tried a few that just slide right off. Storage is ample with multiple zippered pockets, and a compartment for storing shoes, etc. The 4 multi-directional wheels are incredibly handy when weaving your way through the airport, and the telescoping handle feels secure. If you're a casual traveler who only occasionally flies or enjoys road-trips, this is a fantastic piece of luggage. If I was a frequent flyer who'd find himself on a plane monthly, I'd probably pick up a piece of luggage that was a bit more premium; Maybe something built to be gorilla-proof with externally-accessible pockets for quickly accessing documents, etc. I picked up a TSA lock for it, as well, since it doesn't have any locking mechanisms of its own. Edit June 2018: I've used this suitcase a couple times since, and a buddy of mine recently borrowed it for a trip to Colorado. During that trip, the airlines had shipped his luggage to the wrong state and when he received it back a few days later the TSA lock was missing, but the suitcase was still in fine condition despite being schlepped around everywhere. It's still going strong, and I haven't encountered any tears in the interior or exterior, failing zippers, sticking wheels, broken handles, etc.
