I love this suitcase. Finally, one that's light, but holds a great deal, and is a breeze to maneuver up/down stairs, across floors, etc. Sturdy....though it scuffs easily, but aside from that....this is solid and Samsonite thru and thru.

I love the Samsonite luggage.
This one is very practical, it is small but hold a lot.
Easy to handle, light but sturdy.
The wheels roll very well.
It is a real pleasure.
I have tried other luggage with a similar luggage, but either the luggage was not well balanced, or the wheels are stuck somehow making it difficult to use the 4 wheels and removing the benefit of what makes this type of luggage attractive.

The picture shows a side handle...the one I received only has a top handle, which makes it difficult to manage. Also it does not have the usual rubber "bumpers" to protect it from damage. After two Air travels, it looks very bad due to scrapes and scratches.

I love Samsonite, and this suitcase is a real Samsonite quality through and through. It's light, swirls 360 degree, very easy to handle and move around, which is perfect for my pre-flight and after-flight commutes in a crowded train. It scratches easily, but suitcases are to be worn out anyway. This is my third Samsonite suitcase. It's the only brand that never fails, never breaks, and when it comes to luggage, I will never buy anything else other than this brand! Great investments (10 year warranty).

This has been on one airplane trip so far. No scratches yet but I see how that might happen. But I don't care, it is RED and boy can I pick it out from a heap of other carryons!

The day after I received this suitcase I took it on a plane ride. I intended to carry it on, but the flight attendants had everyone put every item in the cargo hold below the plane. I got the suitcase back with huge gashes and scratches all over it. Most of them buffed out, but one was just too deep. I guess with a hard shell suitcase this is going to happen. The contents inside were fine. The problem with the interior of the suitcase is that on one side the handle components take up a large portion of the interior leaving you little room for your belongings on that side. I was able to get a whole weekends worth of clothes into the suitcase, so I definitely think it works as a carry on. I just wasn't expecting to have less room that what appears from the photos. It is pretty spiffy looking until it gets all scratched up.

this is the best investment i have made to make my air travel easy! its durable and it fits perfectly well on any domestic flight. Also it packs well for 3 to 4 day trip.

having 4 wheels is a great advantage as it reduces the amount of effort needed to pull the suitcase in airports and inside aircrafts. Though these wheels are not designed for roads, so if you walk on rough flooring this is a not a perfect product. This suitcase has been made for frequent flyers!

I have had this bag for a little under 6 months and have traveled to 4 countries and over 100k miles. I read one review regarding dents and scratches but that is to be expected from any glossy, hard-sided case. I think the scratches and dents make the case look better. I like them a whole lot better than the holes that my soft-sided luggage develop over time. By far the best feature about this case is that my son and I can put flags of the countries we visit on it to record our travels together.

The Samsonite Winfield 20" Spinner is a stylish and lightweight suitcase that glides beautifully on two or four wheels. After a couple of trips, the suitcase has held up pretty well. It is relatively sturdy and resilient. That being said, the suitcase has limited storage comprised of two compartments separated by a divider with no additional pockets. If you carry on all the time, the suitcase should maintain its sleek look. If you check it in regularly, the suitcase will get scratched up pretty good. And, since the appearance is its main selling point, you may experience buyer's remorse after just a few flights. Since there are no external pockets or compartments, it is a little troublesome to gain access to liquids (for security screening), snacks, books and other small items. You will need to unzip the entire perimeter of the suitcase and expose the suitcase contents to access these items. This can be a bit of an annoyance when trying to get through airport security, especially with those impatient travelers behind you giving you the stink eye.

So, if you are looking for a suitcase that looks nice and don't care much about functionality, this one may be for you.

We fly a LOT on CRJ 700's and 900's and this suitcase slides right into the small overhead bins!
It's lightweight, has a LOT of room inside and is easily slid through the airport hallways and up and down the elevators.

It scratches. Who cares. I don't. I want to get on the plane, slide my case into the overhead bin and sit down quickly.
No more pushing and shoving my rollon computer case hoping it'll fit!
