There are plenty of reviews on other sites. These bags check the boxes for what I would consider to be a decent hardside spinner for the price:
- Double wheels- Expandable
- Lightweight
- TSA locks (it appears only on the larger sizes)
- Interior zipper compartment lid is not inset greatly below the rim of the case


Some concerns about zipper quality, which may only come into play if you're checking or otherwise abusing the luggage.


When open, both sides of this luggage have zipper covers, which is unusual and could be a nice thing if you're packing a certain amount of stuff that needs to be held in place, but neither side has compression straps. So a lightly packed bag will leave things jostling around, and on the other end of the spectrum, you'd have to leave one of the zipper sides open to really stuff the bag full, or take advantage of the expanding capability.


Size-wise, the 20" carry-on is on the smaller end -- like the standard Away Carry-on and not the Bigger Away carry-on.

For the record, I'm a fan of cheap luggage. They ALL break. Once you get past the small design differences, the only thing extra you get with a $300, $400, or $500 bag is the lifetime warranty, and taking advantage of those warranties can be much more of a pain in the ass than just buying a new bag.



However, BuyDig doesn't have free returns, which makes me hesitate to buy the luggage sight unseen.
Not 100% polycarbonate. The 100% polycarbonate ones regularly go on sale for the same price, so I'd hold out.
Why is it so hard to get a check-in luggage that complies with all airlines?

Price on AZ is $150 for 28"


How good of a deal is this compared to the Samsonite Omni they have on Woot

Looks like a nice price but the 28 inch bag is pretty heavy imo

Seems the dimensions on this one are incorrect. Actually more like 31L x 21W x 12.5H so 64.5 linear inches. Airlines like United and Southwest have a limit of 62 inches.

See review: https://www.amazon.com/gp/custome...B0BN4F8FBW

I think ill be sticking with the one below for $75. Its lower quality but the size is right for United airlines.

I don't recall during domestic/ international, United has ever measured the dimensions of checked bags for us. Carry ons, that's tricky at times with some airlines.

Are the polycarbonate ones usually different sizes?
