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

Overall Great Product
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.]

Perfect for long stay and overhead bin fit.
I bought this because I was flying from Ohio to the Alaska peninsula for work, would be in Alaska for 40-45 days, and I didn’t want to check any luggage. I flew on Delta, and Alaska Airlines.This carry-on was large enough to hold: 13 pair of underwear, 13 pair of socks, 6 bras, 6 pair of blue jeans, 4 tee shirts, 3 long sleeve shirts, a pair of sneakers, a hooded zip up fleece safety jacket, and odds and ends of things I could stuff in the cracks. Seems unbelivable, but as my sister remarked, I’m a packing ninja.Once I boarded the plane I was able to fit it into the overhead bin without problem, perfectly. As a warning for those considering expanding it for that extra room: DON’T! Unless you want to go through and take stuff out when it won’t fit. This carry-on fit through the bin opening with no extra room to spare.I had a layover in Chicago, and walked to a different terminal, which seemed like a million miles away. The wheels worked perfectly, the handle was sturdy, and when I stopped to wait at my gate I was able to set my back pack on top of it without any trouble.The outer shell is rugged, the zippers performed as would expect a zipper to perform. While I didn’t expand the sides for additional room, I played with it to see if it worked right, and it did.While I’m not excessively rough with my belongings, I expect a product to stand up to everyday wear and tear, and I don’t baby things. This carry-on did not disappoint. During the trip and afterwards, it has been banged around, dropped repeatedly while full and empty, slid on its front across a concrete parking lot, and yes it shows some wear but not as much as you would expect after heavy use.As a reminder, don’t mess with the included lock until you have read the directions on how to operate it.All in all, this carry-on exceeded my expectations.

Great budget luggage
Great and durable, worth the price. Works on united flights.

Great Value Suitcase
Took this on a 2 week trip to Europe this summer and it was allowed on Delta & British airway carry on. My gf was able to fit 3 sandals, 2 dresses, 1 romper, 2 shirts, 1 jean, her makeup bag, toiletries, under garments, & a few other miscellaneous items like a small hair straightener & chargers & souvenirs. The suitcase was heavy but she was able to fit so much using compression bags & strategically organizing. The suitcase was able to withstand looong walks to the train station and cobble stones streets to the airbnbs, and the wheels are still in great shape. No issues with the zipper, only complaint is the inside lining feels cheap and is thin.

Very nice ight weight . Very easy to.spot at the other end

Been to Disney and back to Winnipeg and been camping a few times. Still looks as good as new.
