Rollaboards

[Lazy8]

I bought a Costco 22" rollaboard and it lasted 2 1/2 weeks before the wheels started screetching and have almost fallen off. So incase anyone is considering saving some cash and going with Costco - don't.

Anyone tried Strong Bags product? I'm wondering how it compares to the Purdy Neat stuff.

did you take it back?

Luggage works is the ticket. I bought a $90 special at Target it lasted about one month and blew apart, took it back and got my money back, bought a luggage works bag and it is the bomb diggity.

I still have the receipt and will return it as soon as I get something else.

i bought a 70 dollar special from walmart, its manufactured by those europeans that make those ever handy pocket knives. It has held up pretty well over the past year, the handle and wheels are in great shape, but the place where i hook my flight kit up is wearing very quickly and will break very soon. Thats probably because my flight kit weighs almost 45 pounds! i will probably get another one after this one breaks. i dont spend over 100 dollars on any one single work related item, this job is not worth it!

My travelpro has been great, and they have a flight crew discount if you contact the office in Boca Raton, FL.

Goddammmit. I bought the Costco last month after suggestions from several line guys. Well, the good thing is if it does break, I can take it back whenever I want and get my money back. That and the crew store here on base sends the LW bags in for repair. I just didn't want to spend the cash on an overnight bag when I spent so much cash on the Scott kit.

Buy the Kirkland brand bag at Costco - cheap and you can take it back (it has a lifetime guarantee.)

All you pay is the price difference since the time you purchased it and the time you return it (unless you have a receipt) - which in my case was over a period of 3+ years = 10 bucks.

If you keep the receipt, you don't have to pay anything.

Little Black 22

Buy the nicest bag you possibly can, whatever it is. Spending more on it now (and taking care of it) saves you from throwing hard earned $$$ down the toilet a few times a year.

I have a TravelPro and it's great. Works fine after 2+ years so far. Last black roller I had lasted 7 years and I paid about $150 for it at Macy's, I think.

Just retired my fathers old Travelpro after 17 years but Ive heard the new one are ********************e.

Ordered the 22 professional from eBags. While its not been put to the test yet..definetly looks like it will handle most anything. The rollerblade wheels have a quick release axle..took about 3 seconds when i tried changing one out. They also include a spare. Get the laptop kit as an add-on, its a hard shell that attaches inside..nice feature.

The nice thing is people hear me coming and move out of my way as i'm hauling ass from one concourse to another. The bad thing is the wheels are going to come off any day now.

That's what I have. The Kirkland Executive 22" rollaboard. I think it would have been a good rollaboard for an occasional traveler.
