SamsoniteUplift Hardside Large Check-In Spinner

Think long and hard about this bag before ordering

I ordered this Uplift Hardside Carry-On, examined it, and then returned it. There is a reason why it weighs less than 5 lbs. The materials and construction do not look and appear to me to be very substantial. My view is that it will not last long and will be subject to breakage, denting, and more than ordinary wear and tear before long, even if limited to carry-on use in carry-on bins above passenger seats. As far as breakage is concerned, see some of the photographs submitted by some customers elsewhere in this review, notably the wheels. Also, keep in mind that all luggage has to deal with curbs, sidewalks and walkways other than inside an airplane. I do not believe this Uplift Hardside Carry-on will last as long as other more substantial luggage. I'd rather deal with a bag with 4 or more additional pounds and get something that will last longer. Don't get me wrong. I did give it three stars. I would probably give it five stars if it were more substantial. After all, you get what you pay for. Indeed, if I were younger and still actively practicing, I might have kept this bag for use as a litigation bag to bring numerous documents or heavy exhibits to Court. Alas, that is no longer necessary for me. I regret I was unable to examine this bag in a retail store before ordering. I am grateful to Samsonite for making returns so easy. I
