Lojel Streamline 21' Carry On Hardside Spinner Luggage

Great product

Update: used it for family travel to Disney world. It went over uneven city pavement, survived a fall onto a sidewalk from on top of a car seat on a wheelchair (don't ask?) and is in total only mildly scratched in a difficult to notice way. The textured plastic does not scuff white or black. Zipper held up better than I expected. Never felt like it would bust, even when pushed to the limit. Held about two weeks worth of toddler clothes, a week's worth of my clothes, a cooler of medicine, swim gear, and a pair of sneakers. Used packing cubes and rolled clothes. Weighed a ton but rolled like a champ with one hand while I pushed either stroller or wheelchair. Very impressed. Would buy Lojel again. ---- I was hesitant to buy this because of the reviews, but it was starkly reduced in price so I took the plunge because we needed another carry on for a trip to Disney World. I'm very glad I did. The first impression I had of this suitcase was that it seems very sturdy. Yes, it is plastic-y, but the polycarbonate shell is thick and by no means cheap looking. The plastic effect is just heightened because of the late 90's Barbie color and the fact that it's a matte textured finish instead of the glossy finish that is the norm on most plastic hard cases. I had a flight attendant friend and a relative give it a little spin around the house, and the consensus is that it's a great looking and good quality suitcase for the money. I would judge it to fall somewhere on the spectrum above Delsey and around Travelpro in terms of perceived durability and function. The wheels are very smooth and transition from upright to diagonal without any jarring. The zipper is thick and was very easy to pull around a heavily packed suitcase without feeling like it would split. My TSA locks have been working. The interior is extremely basic but functional. There'sthe main/larger compartment for clothes etc, with the usual strap to help keep them contained. The other side is divided from this by a zippered mesh wall, creating a second compartment. The fabric is light gray and a sturdy feeling synthetic. The suitcase is light, even when fully packed. It held a week's worth of clothes for myself and my two year old (8 outfits for me, 10 for her), as well as a pair of sneakers, two pairs toddler sandals, accessories, and pool supplies. This is about what I would expect from a carry on, although more space could be achieved if the suitcase didn't indent where the black handle is. I can't think of a purpose for this indentation other than keeping the handle tucked in so it doesn't snag on anything, but it kills off an extra couple inches of packing space. All in all, the Streamline hardcase carry on has piqued my interest in the Lojel brand. Its simplicity and understated quality set it aside from many of the cheaper brands you can find in this price range on Amazon. If i had space for one, i would buy a second of these.

It rolls great, like all Lojel spinners. It looks and feels very plastic-y though.
