Amazon Basics 22″ Hardshell Luggage Only $39.99 Shipped (Regularly $77)

I’ve had the 22” since 2020 and this thing is still kicking great! I bought this one while I was on a trip because the one I’d been traveling with broke. Honestly, I’m glad it did! Maneuvering is great despite how stuffed we make it. It handles a lot better than some suitcases I’ve gotten from stores like TJ Maxx. I used to travel quite a bit in the first couple of years, so there were times it was stuffed as a carry-on, and other times it was checked in. Either way, it survived the chaos that is baggage claim multiple times despite its size.

I visit across the country once a year. On my last trip, my suitcase of 5 years was destroyed and bent. I went to a local retailer and bought another suitcase for my return trip. After only one trip there was a hole in my new suitcase. I bought this one in hopes it will stand up to rough baggage handlers. Although I haven’t taken it on a trip, I am pleased with the quality and have high hopes that I can get several years out of this suitcase. It is expandable and seems to move quite well in any direction smoothly. So far I really like it.
