Rockland Melbourne Hardside Expandable Spinner Wheel Luggage Magenta Carry-On 20-Inch

This is a great little carry-on! I bought them for my two grandchildren. One in orange and one in purple. (Wish I hadn’t needed to pay more for the purple one.) There is plenty of space for a long weekend, and hopefully a longer trip now that we can travel with them. The kids, 9 and 11, can easily wheel them and maneuver them. They seem quite durable and I’m hoping they last for quite a while. Read more

As allot of reviewers have already notated, this luggage reeks of a chemical smell. It actually smells of moth balls. Prior to my trip I placed it in a separate room and let it air out for several weeks. Closer to the trip I used a box of baking soda to "suck up" some of the odor. On my trip I included a dryer sheet along with my belongings and didn't have a problem with my clothes smelling. After about three weeks it still has a slight smell of moth balls. If this is an odor you can not stomach, I would just walk away now. I don't take umbridge with it as I took the above precautions, but it did reflect in me giving it one less star. Now, as far as the over quality and durability of the item,it works fantastic. I fly out of a smaller airport since I'm in the Midwest flyover part of the country, thus, smaller airplanes. Anyone who has ever flown on a Canadian Regional Jet knows that the overhead compartments are tighter than tight. I had a full bag (although I did not need to use the expansion zipper) and was able to squeeze it into the overhead bin like a glove. The flight attendant even doubted that it would work and once I was able to maneuver it in, some applause broke out in the cabin. I normally used a backpack on my previous journeys, I was able to get double the amount of clothes and belongings in this bag. I'm an obese guy, so my clothes are double the size of a normal person, I was able to get a weeks worth of clothes, my hygiene kit, a pair of sandals, and a set of shoes in there comfortably. I actually had additional room. The luggage is extremely lightweight and rolls around smoothly on smooth surfaces. The only issue I have with the construction is the handle feels a little flimsy once it's extended all the way (it's of the telescoping variety). If you are a shorter individual, this won't be an issue as you won't need to extend it all the way, but if you're over 5 ft 10 in, then you'll need to telescope the handle. As long as you're pulling it from behind, there shouldn't be an issue, but if you tweak or twist the handle more than just enough pressure will probably break the thing. Another bonus I was not expecting was a luggage lock is included. The zippers work smoothly. [UPDATE: I have had this carry on for an entire decade now! I've bumped the rating up to 5 stars because of its resilience and durability. I've flown around the world to several countries several times with it (and it has the scars to prove it) and it has not failed me once. I'm happy to report the initial moth ball smell dissipated after the first year. Unfortunately, the last year or so the wheels are starting to become a little wonky with age. I'm assuming the wheel bearings are probably going bad, but with as much use as I've received from the old workhorse, that's to be expected. I absolutely love the old gal, we have so many memories together across several continents. The day those wheel bearings finally give out will be a very sad day for me.] Read more

I purchased this 28" checked bag to replace one from my existing set that was damaged by an airline, and it is identical to the original. The color, dimensions, shell design, and interior layout all match perfectly, which made it easy to keep the set consistent without replacing everything. The spinner wheels roll smoothly, and the telescoping handle operates as expected. The expandable feature adds useful packing flexibility for longer trips. Overall, it performs well for standard travel and looks clean and professional in navy. The reason this isn’t a full 5-star rating is that while it’s a good value and has held up reasonably well, the shell material is somewhat lightweight compared to more premium luggage brands. It’s suitable for regular travel, but it doesn’t have the ultra-heavy-duty feel of higher-end options. For the price and as a direct replacement, it’s a practical and consistent choice. Read more

I bought this carry on suitcase to replace an old cloth one I had for years. Not that anything was wrong with it, but because of the bedbug scare going around in the world, I thought "better safe than sorry". I like the color and all the other features like separate compartments within. Zippered pockets to keep items away from others, all within the same piece. It held up well on my trip to Mexico. Although I stayed with relatives there, but had I chose to stay in a hotel, I wanted the peace of mind that I wouldn't bring home an unwanted visitor with me or lots. Even for domestic travel, it would definitely affect why I would rather use a hardtop suitcase, just to keep the buggers off. I never actually had a problem anywhere I've been with that. But I have heard lots of stories about this. So I like the idea of traveling on the side of caution now. Anyways back to the suitcase. Yes I like the sturdiness of it. The price was well worth it because of the mobility ease, rolls well on practically any surface. Even the fact that what was packed in there felt very light. Easy to use the handles, zippers, pockets etc. This is one item I highly recommend to anyone else who wants an affordable suitcase for less than what you pay in a store and can be shipped to you. Also recommended for those with the idea of having anti bug luggage while traveling. It will make cleaning the suitcase easier now, being a plastic hardtop, with Lysol or any cleaning agent. Not just critters but even viruses, microbes etc. I'm looking forward to using the suitcase for domestic travel, since it did hold up well on the international trip I just had a while back. Hope this helps lots and safe travels to everyone out there. With this carry on luggage suitcase, you won't go wrong. Godspeed to you reading this! Read more
