What experts didn't like

Being a hard-sided suitcase set you do not get the exterior pockets.
Colors are duller than how they are advertised.
The 24” and 28” versions of this suitcase will be too large for a carry-on, but the 20” should do – just be sure to check with your airline beforehand prior to boarding; while it is the smallest version, some airlines are picky with the carry-on luggage, and may charge you at the gate to check-in your bag.
There are concerns about the long-term durability of the product.
