Rolls great. Combination lock works well. Handle extension works well. I might prefer the clamshell suitcase. The deeper well makes it hard to get to clothing at the bottom if you don’t want to unpack.

Handled everything that was thrown at it
Size: 26 Inch
Color: Ivory white
I wanted to wait until we had a major trip before writing a review. We completed a 22-day trip overseas and this luggage handled spectacularly. Here is a breakdown of what we wanted, and how it performed: Hard shell that won't crack or dent- I literally tripped trying to get both mine and my wife's s
uitcases onto a shinkansen (bullet train) and drove my knee with 190 pounds behind it right into the the center of one suitcase. Nothing. No damage at all. Wheels that move and don't break- Japan has yellow raised textures on the sidewalks for the visually impaired throughout the cities, it can can play merry havoc with suitcase wheels. These wheels danced right over them and always stayed on track. On smooth surfaces the suitcases felt like they were floating. Side note: Put the suitcase on its side when on a train or hill, if you cannot hold on to it, the suitcase will take off on you! Zipper: So far, so good. Easy to use, didn't get stuck, and didn't come open. Lock and zipper pull-tabs: the built in lock is nice, but I know just how rough airlines are, almost all of my past suitcases have had zipper tabs ripped off. I used a suitcase cover to ensure these were protected. I wish the company had a little bump-out on either side of the zipper lock so that the zipper pulls would be better protected, but we had no issues. FRONT OPENING!!: This was a really big deal for us. We wanted hard shell, but I hate the clam-shell designs that are everywhere. Hanke got it! It worked perfectly. So happy with how this functioned. We had a Delsey, front opening suitcase, and the zipper really could not handle the corners, just not a good design. The zippers failed too quickly, which was a shame, because otherwise Delsey makes a good bag. Handle: So comfortable and easy to adjust. I like a recessed button so that I am not constantly changing the handle height accidentally (looking at you Samsonite). Size: We got the 26-inch and thought it was overkill, but we wanted a slightly larger checked bag because there is no option to expand this suitcase. We left for Japan with half-empty bags, and they were packed when we came home. It was relaxing not worrying about organizing and space for the return, we just shoved everything in, and still came in under weight. Again, it was a longer trip, and we picked up some nice ceramics on our travels (nothing broke on the way home, the hard-shell did its job!) but maybe a smaller one for week-long trips. Hard-shell and color: Let's face it, white is going to show everything, but I'd rather be able to pick my suitcase out at luggage return and the suitcase covers not only protected the zipper pulls, but kept the scuff marks off the luggage. The luggage was strong! Very strong. Overall: I have to say, with a few domestic trips, and its first international under its belt, these suitcases have proven to be the best we have had in ages. At this price-point, I have not had anything perform as well- and I have gone through a few! I have been so frustrated with wheels that don't track, handles that break, zippers that fail, or soft-shells that look like box cutters were taken to them during loading. Let's put it this way, even if the wheels had broken off, I would buy this suitcase again. We brutalized the luggage this trip, and it took it all. I fully expected something to break at some point, just the fact that it didn't has made me a fan.

LOVE the way it opens. So much better than a typical split hardside bag.
Size: 26 Inch
Color: Black
I really like this suitcase so far. I bought the 24" and 26" bags. The 24" was a bit too small for me so I returned it and got the 26". I travel by air about 24 times a year, usually on week long trips. I'm a mechanic so I pack some small tools when I travel. The front opening feature is absolutely t
he best. The bag rolls effortlessly through airports. The handle has a pushbutton release that does not stick out of the molded handle (You need this feature for air travel, trust me. If it protrudes, the handle button gets pushed when they throw the bags around. This unlocks the handle and it extends in the handlers cart and gets bent). With the front opening feature there is no more having to lay the suitcase out completely to find your things. You can use it just like you would use a soft-side in a hotel room. Even though it does not expand, the front panel is a bit pliable so you can "stuff" it with souvenirs or things of the like. It is not as forgiving as a soft-side but I have had no issues with it. So far I love this thing. I have had all types of bags and prefer a soft-side but wanted something that was more durable. Soft-sides get ripped up pretty quickly with air travel and the ones made today are getting really cheap. They call it "featherweight" technology to save weight, when in reality they are just made of cheaper materials. They don't hold up. The Hanke suitcase is a bit heavy though. The 26" bag is just over 10lbs unloaded, so be aware of that as 50lbs is max on most domestic flights. This thing is built very well and seems like I will have it a good while.

The cases cannot be nested to store away
The suitcase looks nice and appear functional but they cannot be nested within each other like russian dolls for storage. This is not ideal for storing.

Ok so I've traveled with this a few times now, and I have mainly great things to say: -very smooth to roll -on the lighter side means more weight for your stuff before you hit the max allowed for checked baggage -LOVE that it doesn't open clamshell style and that the lid has straps to keep it from fl
opping back so it feels very tidy -even though there's no expander, the lid isn't super rigid, you can still stuff a lot in there and get it closed with a little bit of bulge (maybe not so great for your stuff, though...) -looks attractive at a reasonable price point -use a Mr Clean magic eraser to keep looking like new, doesn't hold dirt the way fabric suitcases do -LOVE the zipper lock. Didn't know I needed that. I have only one concern: it did fall out of my car and one of the corners got dented in. I tried to push it back out to no avail. It doesn't seem to have affected the structural integrity but, you know, now there's a dent in one corner of my otherwise beautiful suitcase. Not sure what would have saved it, maybe a plastic guard on those top corners? I also agree with someone who wrote elsewhere that they wished there was a bottom handle by the wheels. Maybe that would have kept me from dropping it when I was trying to get it into my car... Nevertheless, I love my suitcase and I feel very smart and stylish romping around with it :-) Would recommend to a friend!

TSA Lock Mechanism Didn't Work
Size: 20 Inch
Color: Ivory White
I so looked forward to receiving this luggage, but when I tried to change the TSA Security Code from 000 to a personal one, the mechanism wouldn't allow me to do it, so I had to return the luggage. Perhaps, I just happened to get a faulty one. I loved the feel and features of the luggage but have not
yet decide if I'm going to re-order. I have been looking at and evaluating other brands before I make a decision. So far, I am impressed with Beis, and was saddened to see that Amazon doesn't carry this brand. I love Amazon's return policy and that is why I am hesitant to order from the manufacturer as returns are much more difficult to navigate.

I wanted a durable, light weight, attractive 4-roller piece of luggage that I would not have to open to double to get something. This one fit the bill exactly. When traveling or visiting, I do not have to unpack or take up an entire top or something. Also, loose and/or relatively heavy things don't g
o falling out when I try to open. Everything is in place, just as I packed it. It just goes to show, even if you have to pay a little more, I recommend getting exactly what works for you. I love it, love it, love it.

I purchased the 24inch size in the off white color. Color is pretty. I took this on a one week trip recently to Hawaii and bought a 26inch suitcase cover to protect it from scratches. I have no dents and no scatches. This luggage held up well. I love how easy it rolls around 360 and the waterproof po
uch inside is perfect for bikinis. Had no problems with the zippers eaither, they didn't get stuck which was great. My favorite feature was the tsa lock, so easy to set up just watched a quick youtube video. There was also a little zipper inside the luggae perfect for my apple air tag. I didn't want a luggae that was too big or small and this size was perfect. Not many brands have a 24inch size. Can't wait to use it again and i would definitley buy the carry on size too. Item arrived quickly just in time for my trip. Thank you.

Awesome luggage! I’m genuinely upset that I ever bothered with clam-style suitcases in the past. This style can fit more and is overall more efficient. It’s sturdy and looks very stylish. The wheels rolled SO smoothly and the handles all felt strong. I didn’t and don’t plan on checking it, but I don’
t think it would scratch any more easily than any other hard shell luggage if you did. Fits a week or so worth of summer city clothes, shoes, and my oversized makeup and toiletry bags! Plus it’s much easier to stay organized in a hotel room with the flip-up top. It’s very over-packer friendly! I highly recommend packing cubes since the flip top makes it extra easy to Tetris all of your belongings and squish extras in between the cubes. I regret not getting the one with the laptop section because I could have easily become a one bag traveler!

Initially this was almost everything I was looking for in a new case. Mainly top loading with no extra fluff. The interior straps I wish were both on the bottom of the bag & wish it would provide more compression. It rolls very nicely with 50lbs of weight. Pretty solid. On its first flight with 1 lay
over, it survived nicely. Just some minor scuffs & scratches. On the trip back home the tsa lock does not hold 1 of the two zippers. The lock itself still will hold & lock the other zipper but what’s the point if it doesn’t hold both. I attempted several times get the zipper to hold but no luck. This saddens me very much. Unfortunately my other tsa locks do it fit through the zipper. Looking for an alternative to locking the case now. Or attempting to replace the lock. Attempted to contact the manufacturer to claim warranty. Unfortunately, no response.

Mr. Clean MagicEraser sheets

When I saw my cream colored suitcase with scuffs I was disappointed. Water did not work and I did not want to use cleaning chemicals. I found that Mr. Clean MagicEraser sheets did the trick! It took some elbow grease but it looks nice now. I think I might still buy black if I could exchange them all.

excellent light weight bag

Light weight and easy to travel with. Not a super heavy duty bag but the weight of it offsets that as it is very light weight! Did have an issue with a zipper on a long trip to South Africa and back but the company replaced the bag. Would definitely buy again.

Took on a trip to Europe and very pleased with the quality. The height is mid-size, but because of the depth, I was able to pack quite a bit, just getting under the weight limit, as the suitcase itself is very light (though sturdy). The lid design makes it easy to use, especially with packing cubes/v
acuum bags. The wheels roll very smoothly on most surfaces (though could be a challenge on cobblestones, but that would be the case with most wheeled luggage). You can find cheaper ones out there, but you get what you pay for. Excellent value for the money.

What a great piece of luggage!
Size: 24 Inch
Color: Grey
I used this suitcase last week for a cruise! What a pleasure to pack and pull. It glides very easily on pavement and over brick pavers. I was able to slightly over pack it and it still zipped easily. I have the grey, which is really silver and am happy to say there are no scuffs or dings. This trip w
as 5 days and there was plenty of room, but I will be buying the 26" for longer trips. Definitely worth the money!!
