10/10
We bought this for our vacation last month since we’ve only had random duffle bags & suitcases & decided we were adults now and ready for a matching set. This set is super cute & affordable. The assortment of sizes is really nice as well - especially if we take weekend trips with our family of 6 we’ll have more than enough room. Everything is durable, it doesn’t feel or look cheap, the lock on the suitcases is nice& I love that it comes with the travel bags. The face that the bag has a spot for the luggage handle is perfect and makes for easy pack up & roll out. & the 360 roll on the wheels are 🤌🏻 - peak performanceThe double zip for extending the suitcases is great too! None of the zippers had any issues any way you zipped it and really adds some extra space which is a necessity when it comes to souvenirs.

Love it!!
The suitcase is so cute and tiny, it even passed as a personal item instead of a carry on at the airport. It has a lock where you can set a code which is so handy and I could fit quite a lot of stuff. The suitcase itself is pretty durable.

Packs way more than expected
Traveling to Europe for 2 weeks, needed a small cabin bag to accommodate the requirements for carry on luggage on Binter Airlines, this bag looks so small but seriously I was able to pack everything I needed to wear for a summer time trip. I won’t be able to fit my toiletries and shoes, in it, but all my clothes yes~ I haven’t used it yet and pray the zipper and wheels hold up, that review will come after we return. For now I give it 4 stars based on size, packing space, and overall a really nice bag with a telescope handle.

Light weight and durable!
You will be surprised how much you can fit into this little suitcase. The four wheels make for easy maneuvering in crowded airports

Excellent Product true to Dimensions.
Qatar Airlines is the only airline that will not bend on “not” to exceed 20”. This case measures 19” including the wheels but not the top handle. With the handle its 19.5”. This carry-on case is the only one I have found that takes it right to the limits dimensionally. As for quality, this seems really nicely built. I have no issues with this….in fact….I would say this appears to be very well built. Recommended, yes definitely, worth the money absolutely.

Kono vs. Hanke
I have been on a quest to find a suite of carry on luggage that can accommodate each member of our family. My parameters have been:-small size (no larger than 19 inches) to fit in overhead bins and/or preferably under seats,-hard sides that can stand up to airport abuse,-spinner wheels,-enough capacity to fit one person's belongings for a 5 daytrip (if packed efficiently), and-affordable enough to purchase for all members of a family of 4.I tried several suitcases in the 20 inch range, and all were too large and bulky right out of the box - anything that is 20 inches or over is likely destined for the dreaded gate check, sentencing us to airline delays immediately. On the flipside, tiny under-seaters that were billed at 14 inches didn't provide enough capacity.After trying several brands, I found two that seemed to hit all my bullet points, with only PRICE as their key difference. My two final options were the Hanke 16 inch rolling carry on, and this Kono, which comes in at a very svelte 19 inches, and is both thinner and lighter than the Hanke, even though the Hanke claims smaller dimensions. All other parameters were similar, except, again, PRICE. So, having now bought and tried both, is the Hanke (which retails at $100 or more) of a high enough quality to justify paying for it 2.5 times the price of this Kono?In a word, YES.The Kono easily checks all my boxes, and might be our choice for each of my kids - but it falls noticeably short in a few key areas that denote its significantly cheaper price point.First, Wheels. The four spinners on the Hanke are better balanced, more widely spaced (allowing for a wheel base that prevents tipping), and roll MARKEDLY more smoothly. The Kono's wheels are small, spaced very narrowly along the base of the suitcase (encouraging tipping), and have gotten stuck repeatedly just trying to navigate our hardwood floors - which doesn't bode well for the ups and downs of an airport.Next, Handle. Again, the Hanke wins, hands down. For one, its handle is longer - if you have a tall person in your family, the Kono may be a literal "stretch" to pull. With a smaller piece of luggage stacked on top of the Kono, its shorter handle length allows no clearance between the top of its handle and the top of the other piece of luggage - even a normally sized backpack. Having traveled through an airport desperately trying to drag along a child's luggage with a child-sized handle when its child owner got tired of pulling it, I am very familiar with the back pain associated with twisting and tugging unruly luggage that's not quite tall enough for comfort. The Kono will likely present this problem for those taller than 6 feet. The Hanke's handle is also just built better - its thicker and glides easier - and I can see the Kono having issues there with repeated telescoping of its inferior handle mechanism.Next, Interior Layout. Again, the price point of the Kono shows itself here. The interior of the Kono is entirely bare. It's literally two rectangular compartments separated by a zip panel of material. While it is fine on capacity for efficient packers, it offers no pockets, no laptop protector, and no keeper straps on one of the two sides - leaving that side more useful for packing cubes or toiletry bags than clothes or other goods that might be prone to shifting. Conversely, Hanke's version offers a great laptop pocket, straps on both sides, pockets for various other miscellaneous items, and enough capacity for 5 days if packed well.The final test is Durability and Quality of the overall build. Again, Hanke wins here, UNLESS weight is a key concern -- in which case the Kono's overall lighter build may be its key virtue. I have seen several reviewers explain that they opted for the Kono based purely on its ability to pass carry-on size tests at finicky European airlines. And this is certainly a place the Kono does shine - still, everything on the Hanke seems built better, from the thickness of the case, to zipper, to wheels.So, in the end, the main choice here is Price. Do you want a higher end piece of luggage that will likely last, or do you need your luggage to remain as cost effective as possible while also offering the basic bells and whistles that will get you through the airport under size requirements? If the latter, the Kono is an easy choice. For one it comes in several stylish colors, and it also offers plenty of capacity for a seasoned packer. But if little quality issues (like wheel and handle glides) make a difference to you, the Kono may not cut the proverbial mustard.As it stands, I will likely invest in Hankes for my husband and I to travel with more frequently, and two bright, fun colored Konos for the kids - my daughter is already in love with the stylish Rose Gold model that we tried. There are probably places for both in our travel lives, and at Kono's price point, you could go through nearly three of them in three different colors for the price of a Hanke, even if they don't stand the test of time (and airport security). Once we give them both real world tries, I will update with any clear issues!

Fits on European budget flights!
I went to Europe last month and was worried about the varied carry-on dimensions of the budget airlines I was taking. This bag fit a good amount of clothing and belongings for my 2.5 week trip and I never got flagged by a gate agent or flight attendant because of the size of my bag. The wheels are pretty torn up from the trip, but I would definitely recommend if you need a small spinner bag!

This fits the strict requirements for ITA
This luggage is very lightweight. I’ve packed it and believe it will work well. Sometimes I’m only staying one night at a hotel and up to three nights in others. It seems like a perfect choice.
