luggage How sturdy is Samsonite Spinner, or other luggage with 360 degree wheels? Comments & opinions?
Do you have experience with Samsonite “Spinner” luggage, which has wheels that rotate 360 degrees, or another brand with this feature? I’m considering buying a set of either Samsonite or another brand with 360 wheels, but I’m worried about the wheels breaking off because they are not recessed into the suitcases. I checked the warranty on Samsonite’s site and it does not cover wheels that are broken because that is considered “abuse.”

If you have used this type of luggage, I would sure appreciate your opinions and experience with it. Please tell me how much you’ve used it, how ancient it is, etc. How well did it wear? Did it get dirty easily? Have you had a problem with the airlines breaking the wheels? Any other suggestions or thoughts would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help!

Some of the wheels are recessed. You just have to check the images online…I am looking for new luggage and considering the 360 wheels. Right now I am looking at Liz Claiborne and American Tourister brands.
