I retired my 10 year old Samsonite 28" roller in favor of this one.  The old one stood up to 100's of thousands of miles of abuse and still worked, but was no longer an easy roller, and the handle was difficult to extend.

This bag is huge.  Coupled with another Samsonite 29" bag I have, we can pack a family of 5 into 2 suitcases for a week long trip to the beach.  Now we have the added advantage of this "Spinner", which is so easy to move that my 6 year old can roll it around with 40 lbs in it, no problem.

The fit and finish of the bag seems very good, and it looks very durable.  The box it came in had been annihilated by the brown shipping company, but the suitcase was in perfect condition inside.  I agree that for domestic airline travel you will not be able to fill this before you hit the weight restriction.  Internationally you'll be fine.  We always weigh ours before we leave the house for the airport to make sure it complies with whatever the limit is.  We put heavy stuff in free carry on bags to cut down on the weight.

Anyway, great bag for a great price.  Samsonite has earned my loyalty because every bag of theirs I have ever owned has lasted in excess of 10 years, and is still working when I get rid of it.
