Decent Luggage set By Eurorule
Préambule: I never suffered the naivette of "lifetime warranty" usefulness and, since we have to travel frequently, did not consider this an investment but an expense to last us a couple of years. Is it an amazing set of luggage? No. Is it good/decent? I think so.
As I mentioned, we travel quite a bit and needed a new carry-on as well as larger pieces (i bought 3-piece). We only had few requirements for our new carry-on: spinner, lightweight, second bag/personal item must be able to ride on top, easily fits into overhead compartments. For checked-in luggage, the requirement was even more simple: lightweight spinner. By now (as of November), we've tested it on 7 trips and came to the following conclusions
PROS: 1. It is most definitely lightweight. It is great for people who use carry-on allowance to the max. 2. It's quite spacious. Switching from a nylon 22" to hardshell 20", I am still able to pack almost as much into this bag. One feature I am still getting used to is having almost equal halves to fill (vs stuffing everything into one side and simply covering it with the top). However, it does have straps and covers to keep everything in place. 3. It rolls nicely on asphalt, airport tiles and linoleum (more difficult on carpets, especially, when full). It rolls over metal joints in floors and jet bridges or any uneven surfaces very well 4. A second bag easily sits on top of it 5. Expands nicely! 6. Fits perfectly into overhead compartments. In business elite, it's a breeze, but even in coach on most birds, such as MD88s, it's quite easy to stuff it into the bin 7) checked luggage (30" and the mid-size) arrived without any damage except for little nicks and dirt. Straps kept everything in place and expansion is wonderful on larger pieces as well.
CONS: 1. Wheels are small and have harder time rolling on carpets that some older airports still have. Sometimes it keeps pulling to one side, trying to twist itself to roll front side foward. 2. In fact, this is my major complaint about this item: handle is extremely flimsy. When carry-on is fully loaded (40lb or so), poor handle actually twists a bit. I bring lots of foreign goodies so my bags are indeed fully loaded 40lb - i don't think twisting would be a problem for normal people :) who use their carry-ons as supplement to checked baggage. 3. No handle on the side to help put it in and take it out of bins. It's not that big of a deal for me but I wanted to mention it.10-13-11 UPDATE: Heys USA 4WD Metallics 3 Pc. Luggage Set By Ersten

I returned two weeks ago from a trip to Chile. Before I even got to the airport, one of the two wheels of the medium luggage (that is used for towing) broke as I went to the bus stop. I had to rotate the bag 180 degrees to tow it using the other set of wheels. Doing so made this luggage bump into the back of my leg unless I offset the way I held the handle. Also, the zipper on the medium luggage began to stick even more. I was inconvenienced by this for my entire three week trip. This luggage set is poorly constructed and WAY overpriced. The next place this set visits will be the garbage dump.
/////////////////////////////////
The shell is too flexible for my taste. I expected a much harder and thicker one. The zipper often got stuck when passing the midpoint of the bottom -- you'd have to pull up on the suitcase (as if to open it) to make the zipper path taunt for smooth zipper operation.
The midsize survived one round trip flight to Greece, but on the next flight to Alaska, the side handle broke off at the metal clip on the return flight.
The telescoping handles are rather flimsy, and the wheels do not appear heavy duty.
Not a good buy for $330. The only two things I ended up liking about the set was the color and the reinforced corners. Not good enough reasons to make it my long-term luggage set.
Next time I need a luggage set, I'll buy it from a store I can visit to see exactly what I'm getting.
