kensie20" Graceful Hardside Carry-On Luggage, Black

I average a few trips by air each month and always try to avoid checking a bag. If you're after a hard sided carry on, this could be a good option. First, check with your airline on carry on dimensions, this one is 22x10x14, which works for some US airlines and not others (though I'm rarely checked). I like how the wheels spin freely and it is very easy to maneuver. The handle works well and the outside feels secure. There are plenty of options inside too and I like that it can expand if needed. I don't have any immediate concerns about build quality, but if this gets checked, it may reduce the life of the luggage.

This is a wonderful carry-on luggage with a telescoping handle and wheels that spin 360 degrees. Solid hard-shell exterior and fully lined on the inside. The telescoping handle moves up and down easily with the push of a button on the handle. The wheels move and spin effortlessly. The taupe color is very neutral and I love the rose-gold zippers. This is an excellent piece of luggage.

My luggage takes a beating from baggage handling, even a carry-on since it gets "gate checked" a lot. I ordered this to have a spare when my primary carry-on meets it's end. Most of my experience is with soft-side luggage - this is the first hard-side I've owned. It is very light - the shell seems really thin. I don't know how durable it will be. The wheels are smooth and rotate freely. I think the extendable handle is a bit cheap - I tend to lift the bag by that handle (not a good practice, I know) and it might now work with this bag. I do like the rubber handle that sits very flat. The bag is split roughly in the middle and the top has a zipper separator, while the bottom has the elastic straps. I like the bag so far - I'll report back after I use it on a few trips.

This is a lightweight carry on with smooth wheels and expandable body. It is smaller than my other carryon's, so this is great for a weekend trip. It has a strap on one side and a zipper on the other. It looks sleek and high end. Definitely worth the price.

Seems pretty sturdy and has enough room to fit a few days' worth of clothes along with my chargers and other small necessities. Really happy with it as it should be perfect for short trips and won't need to pay for extra luggage!
