The spinner suitcase is the biggest luggage innovation since some savant attached a set of inline wheels to a standard suitcase and travelers the world over got rolling.
What distinguishes a spinner suitcase from rolling duffel bags and big suitcases that roll is this: It has four wheels instead of two, easily spinning 360 degrees.
On a flat surface such as a long airport hallway, a spinner suitcase rolls like a dream. Aside from grabbing it off an airport baggage carousel, there's no heavy lifting or tilting involved -- so you can pack as much as your spinner suitcase will hold. These are some I like.
1. Samsonite Hard-Sided Spinner Suitcase Set

If you want to convert to an all-spinner suitcase wardrobe, you can get matching 28", 24", and 20" uprights in Samsonite's Winfield collection built to survive the rough times. These pieces are all constructed of impact-resistant ABS plastic. Available in black, dark red, and silver.
2. Atlantic Graphite 25" Expandable Spinner

Deeper than many spinner suitcases, this 25" x 18" x 12" Atlantic model can also be expanded to fit more. I also like that it's available in a smaller 21" tall model as well as a larger 29" model -- so if you like the brand, you can collect additional matching packages to create a spinner luggage set.
3. Heys Britto 30" Hard-Side Spinner Suitcase

This is one suitcase no one will mistake for theirs on the carousel. Big (30" x 20" x 11.5"), bold, and beautiful, the Britto spinner features a pop-art design and an equally eye-popping interior. One feature I especially like is the built-in three digit TSA lock, so you'll never go searching for one again.
4. Heys Britto Spinner Set

Want to stand out when you travel? There's no mistaking a Heys Britto spinner suitcase. And when you see double, with a 30" and 26" case -- or triple, adding the 22" carry-on, you will definitely let the world know you've arrived.
5. Rimowa Spinner Suitcases

This top-of-the-line and top-rated brand makes a spinner suitcase that works as a virtual closet. With its independent two-chamber system, you can remove what you need without disturbing everything else and pretty much live out of your suitcase. An integrated suit bag, shirt pockets, shoe bag, laundry linen net, belt bag and toilet bag can each be removed separately and used as needed. There are two drawbacks with his model, however: price and weight. But if you can afford this, you already have someone else to carry your bags.
