Got this on the Gold Box Deal. Used it over Thanksgiving weekend. My husband was skeptical about my enthusiasm for an upgraded roller suitcase. Then he got stuck with it at the airport and was instantly impressed about how easy it was to maneuver through the crowds and roped-off areas. We're light packers and were able to fit both of our clothing in without needing to open the expander. The other bag was smaller than I expected (should have read the size description). However, I got more in than I expected. There are a lot of compartments and it worked out well for our toiletries - especially getting through security. We ended up having to gate-check the roller on the way home - and let me say that this bag was the sharpest one in baggage claim. Definitely happy with the purchase - especially $99.
