3.0 out of 5 starsDecent value purchase, but was too small and uneven weight leads to tipping

I had high hopes for the Samsonite Omni 2 Hardside carry on suitcase, but unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations. The suitcase felt pretty cheaply built and not very durable. The unevenly distributed weight made it really easy to tip over, and the stiff handle added to the overall dimensions, which was important to me when I had to prove it fit on a plane by shoving it into one of the metal measurement cages. It was also disappointing that the carry on size didn't have the TSA lock built into the zipper.
On the positive side, the suitcase had some smooth rolling wheels, which made it easy to maneuver through the airport. I also appreciated the bright color, which made it easy to spot among a sea of other suitcases. The expandable zipper was a nice touch, and it definitely came in handy when I needed to cram a few extra things in for a weekend trip. At the $90 price I paid, it's not a bad value, but ultimately it didn't feel like something that could fit enough clothes for a 1 week trip.
Overall, I would say that the Samsonite Omni 2 Hardside carry on suitcase has its pros and cons. While it may not be the most durable or spacious option out there, it does have some nice features that make it worth considering, especially if you're on a budget.
