It is so well balanced and maneuverable.  I just got back from a 2 week holiday.  Light enough to walk up 2 flights of stairs with in a BnB, but sturdy enough when I checked it in the airplane with breakable souvenirs.  The handle telescopes up and down with several adjustment levels.  I attached my backpack on top for long walking destinations. It held a surprising amount of packing for a 2 week trip.  I would buy this again.
