5.0 out of 5 starsThe cockroach of suitcases
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 17, 2022
It was a brisk winter day in the Big Apple.
Packed to the brim, I lugged my Amazon Basics Geometric Travel Luggage through Grand Central Station, onto the 6 train and up the stairs to my office building. Upon slipping through the revolving doors, I was met with the ominous gaze of a 50-foot escalator to take me up to the elevator main lobby. Unintentionally disclosing my long vacation plans to my co-workers, I slid onto the escalator, clasping the extra-large hunter green portmanteau.
All was well, 10 feet from the end of my journey up these formidable moving stairs. Until I got too comfortable.
Sensing a vibration from my phone, I clumsily fumbled for my electronic device and lost control of the suitcase. As if in slow motion, I watched it tumble out of my reach, onto the next, and next, step.
I locked eyes with an older woman, who then shrieked as if dodging a boulder tumbling from Everest. A chaotic panic ensued, a frenzied two-step of coworkers vying to out-maneuver the unwelcome object. It thumped, thumped, thumped down the escalator, and cemented its presence with a final THUD at the end of the stairs.
After futilely half-jolting down the escalator to recover my belongings, I conceded to my defeat and rode the escalator to the top, eyes on me like a lone zebra in a ring of lions. I hurriedly sprinted down the stairs collect the stray item, and sheepishly lugged it up to my floor to wallow in my embarrassment.
I feared for my life as I recalled the glass bottle of whiskey buried in 10 days' worth of my fiancée's clothes. Hastily unlocking and rummaging through the suitcase, I located the liquor.
Alas! Unbroken, unperturbed, my belongings were as good as ever, untouched like a virgin snowflake that had just drifted from the heavens. A small, but timely, miracle.
As such, I cannot say more about the durability and robustness of the Amazon Basics Geometric Travel Luggage Expandable Suitcase Spinner with Wheels. If you are as uncoordinated and "goofy" as I, look no further than this item to secure your bag.
