Rockland Melbourne Hardside Expandable Luggage with Spinner Wheels, Purple, Checked Large 28'

[Pros] Durable, very lightweight, distinctive colors for airline travel, sized very well for airline travel* (smallest bag meets carry-on requirements, see below), ergonomic and versatile movement/storage.[Cons] (Minor) Very strong smell when opened!**Not heavy, thick, "rigid" plastic, if that's what you're looking for! It's hard to tell online, but this luggage set isn't that style.Before talking about the benefits of this set, just a warning: Don't open the packaging inside! These things smell like burnt tires when you cut the plastic open -- that said, this is a very minor issue. The smell is purely from the ABS plastic and only on the outside. Leave them on a covered patio for a day, give them a little wipe down with a soapy rag, and you're good.Now on to the good stuff!~ Durability: These guys are tough! You can tell the quality just by pulling them out of the packaging. I've used them for two business trips so far, and we all know how luggage gets thrown around, and these still look good. -- That said, read what I said above: **These are indeed made of tough ABS plastic, but it is thin, flexible plastic. So the overall shape holds true for being thrown around (far better than cloth), but you can push it with your hand and it'll indent and pop back out. If something fragile is inside, it'd still need to be heavily padded.~ Sizes: As noted above, the luggage sizes are great for air travel. *The smallest case fits under the Delta standard of 22" x 14" x 9" IF not overstuffed -- Verified with a tape measure it's well within the 22 and 14, but it's right at 9 on the depth so a stuffed bag might not make the squeeze. As for the other cases, the medium one is nice and... medium. And the large is nice and... large. Bluntly, most men should be able to adequately pack about 2 weeks of clothes in the medium, and ladies 2 weeks in the large. I don't know what the large one stuffed-to-the-gills would be like as far as weight requirements go with the airlines, I haven't needed to pack for that long of a trip.~ Ergonomics: It can be seen easily in the picture, but to verify; There are telescoping handles on each piece. There is also a carry handle on the top and on one side, to be carried vertically or horizontally. When not in use, these can be pushed down flush with the case. There are 4 caster wheels on the bottom that roll in all directions, and they work well. Opposite of the side handle, there are rubber pieces so that the case can se set down horizontally as well. -- For storage, the small fits into the medium and the medium into the large (that's how it's shipped as well).~ Internal: This aspect doesn't matter to me so much, because it's easy to use grocery bags to separate things. But for some it might: The top section has a flap with a zipper that goes all the way around, so that the top section can be completely separated from the bottom internally. There's also a pouch with a zipper attached to one of the horizontal sides. The internal material is standard thin, silk-like cloth os it's not a waterproof storage container. Pretty standard.~ Aesthetics: If looks matter to you concerning luggage, this is a very handsome set. I just liked all of the color options, as I'm tired of looking for black luggage on a carousel. I got the orange set -- It's pumpkin orange plastic shell, flat black plastic trim, light gray patterned interior.[Conclusion] I am very pleased. There are probably better 3-Piece sets out there, but at holiday 2014 I got these for $133. That's the price of cheap luggage, but at a much higher quality. I'm not a heavy traveller, but for someone who travels occasionally with business these are great and I expect they'd even work well for a heavy traveller.

AMAZING!! Looks just like the picture 360 rolling wheels, plenty of space inside, i'm obsessed with the hard shell cases the orange color isn't too loud like i pictured it would be but it most definitely will be easy to spot in baggage claim. I think i want to buy it again but in a different color for my husband.

**Update: we’ve had this luggage 5 full years and travel ALOT for work. It’s still in great shape! The wheels work great and you can pack them full no problem! We use the smallest one for carry-on and the little zip up flap inside, to hold the clothes in when you zip it up, has come apart from the zipper. We have a very small crack in the outside plastic of the very largest bag due to the airlines handling the bags( however, we rarely use this bag as it’s so big it’s hard to fill it up and keep it under 50lbs. The two smaller bags we use most often) I feel like for luggage, this is great use. I’m looking at buying more to replace some of our other brands that are not holding up. **Love this luggage! I usually over pack by a ton and was surprised how much I could fit in these! I only had to take one bag- and not even the biggest one! the shell seems like good quality- it isn't super hard but it's hard enough. They even have handy little compartments! The wheels roll very smooth- the only issue I have is that the handles are not real sturdy-I worry about them breaking before anything else. Other than that- I love them. I know some people were complaining about the smell but mine only had a slight smell when I opened them and that went away within minutes.

The media could not be loaded.

Absolutely love this suitcase. It’s so easy to steer and lightweight but sturdy. I’m always asked where I purchased it when traveling. It’s the perfect pink color and has a sheen to it that makes it look so feminine. Will order the smaller sizes to have the full set.

Loved the color, very easily identifiable. Very roomy and sturdy. Didn't crack, dent, or have the zipper pop open on me. Smooth rolling, sturdy handles with adjustable hight. More than one hand grip for lifting. Expandable. My only complaint is that the locks this brand of luggage comes with are not reliable at all. Get a different lock!

My son went on a trip and carried this suitcase with him. He said it rolled very well, held everything he wanted to take and overall was a great suitcase. I got this at a special buy price so it was well worth the money.

I don’t think it’s gonna survive a lot of flights. It’s not heavy duty at all. It’s very lightweight and the wheels. Don’t look that sturdy. Oh, I’ll add more after my flights

Una valigia trolley stupenda esteticamente sia fuori che dentro, molto capiente, ottima.

I’ve had mine for a few years now, and so happy I made this purchase. I even got all three when they were on sale (all three for less than what a normal store would sell just ONE suitcase for). Makes my trips at the airport more effortless and they hold up well. No cracks in mine and going on about 3yrs now

Tutto perfetto materiale design e prezzo!!!!

True to the sized they had mentioned, it is really large and equivalently lightweight. The color purple is very vibrant and easy to identify if you’re waiting for it in airport. Highly recommend.
