Samsonite Ascella 3.0 Softside Expandable Luggage, Sapphire Blue, CO EXP Spinner

The Ascella 3.0 Softside Expandable Luggage with Spinner Wheels appears to be a good option for travelers. It has a black exterior and a large interior, with spinner wheels for easy maneuverability. However, it is unclear how durable the bag will be as it has not been used enough times to determine this. One customer bought the bag for their son-in-law who travels frequently and found it to be perfect. However, another customer who had owned a previous Samsonite bag for 22 years, found several differences in the new model that concerned them. The skid plates across the bottom and the ones on the wheels that protect from damage on conveyor belts were both gone. The main handle is just a piece of cloth which can become painful when carrying for long periods. The telescoping handle is also 3 inches shorter, making it difficult to walk with. The interior pockets are smaller and less padded, making them less secure, and the wheels are of a smaller diameter. The zippers are thin plastic and can break, making the bag of poor quality. Another customer received a defective bag, which raises questions about the Consistency of the product.
