7786 Hardside Expandable Luggage with Spinner Wheels, Black, Carry-On 20-Inch

I gave this to my niece for her birthday. She is 18 and starting to travel with friends.

I have used this suit case about 4 times now and it works great. Its the first one that I have used that has the 4 wheels to glide instead of rolling it behind me. Its the perfect carry-on for an airplane and it actually holds a lot. I love how it expands for more storage but that wont fit in the overhead when expanded.

So this is one of those carry-on suitcases that you can expand if you need to (or stuff it full, sit on it, and then zip the expansion back full heheh) thats also hard-sided to protect the inside. Its loaded with features including shoe pockets!!! I really like it and hope to take it on more trips in the future. So far its only taken two flights and held up well both times. You can really wheel it around any way you like, and its nimble and easy to maneuver even when I had to take it with me into an airport bathroom stall. Zipper jammed a little wee bit the first time I zipped it all the way shut (no I was not sitting on it trying to overstuff it!) but zero problems since then.

This is lightweight and easy to roll. I realize this is for carry-on so it probably wont get bumped around a lot but the plastic shell seems very thin and flimsy. It is a good size and easy to move around.

This SwissGear Carry-On 20-Inch may not stand out in a crowd because of its small emblem and basic color, but it will be a stand-out to anyone who takes a moment to notice its sleek beauty and its effortless movements. You won’t have to struggle with this expandable handle. The silver matte accents and the two reinforced bolted corners are very attractive. The material reminds me of my patent leather Sunday school shoes in the 60’s. These wheels are made for spinning and are so smooth; this could be your dance partner. The top handle feels soft like a rubber eraser and is very comfortable. The zippers are beefy, with 2 pull tabs for the main compartment two-way, and one bigger pull tab for the extended space. The only negative I can find is that when this case attracts some static dust, it’s visible because of the shiny black surface.
