I bought this suitcase to replace a High Sierra rollaboard that has traveled many places with me.  This suitcase is very light, and holds surprisingly much considering its size.  It is easy to handle, and the multiple positions of the telescoping handle are nice.  I would give it 5 stars, but on my last trip, I checked the bag, and it arrived at my destination without one of its wheels.  (This was only about the fourth trip that I have used it on.) Fortunately, I had an Asurion protection plan, which delivered as promised with no hassle (I highly recommend this).  I am hoping that this was a fluke, and I like the suitcase well enough that I have re-ordered it from Amazon.  I doubt that you would have any trouble if you only use it as a carry-on, but I like the option of checking it, as well.  I'll see what happens with the new bag.
