Samsonite Winfield 2 Hardside Expandable Luggage with Spinner Wheels, Orange, 3-Piece Set (20/24/28)

I bought the white medium sized suitcase in Nov 2023 and it’s held up well since then. I probably use it 2-4 times a year for personal trips. The white is nice because it’s easier to spot among a sea of black and navy suitcases- I put vinyl stickers on mine for extra ease of identification (and fun). The only downside of the white color is that it gets black scuff marks on it pretty much immediately, so if that bothers you I’d pick a darker color. It’s a decent size for about a weeks worth of travel, although I could see wanting a bigger suitcase for longer stays (or to allow more shopping at your destination). Wheels and handles all seem very sturdy, and while I haven’t dragged it around a ton I don’t baby it either. While there are suitcases out there that look more fancy I don’t really feel the need to upgrade, and probably wouldn’t unless I suddenly started traveling a lot more.

Beautiful suitcase. Finish almost looks like Liquid Metal, very cool. Took it on the first flight and it did great. It rolls beautifully and holds a lot of items without going over the 50lbs. We did get a cover for it because it’s a darker, shinier finish and could show scratches.

This is the 3rd set of these bags I've purchased. I own 2 full sets myself and just bought the purple set for my girlfriend as a Christmas gift...her luggage was falling apart on us when we were traveling so she always used one of my sets anyway. They really are incredible pieces of luggage...to date I've had them out in the rain, loaded them up with upwards of 150 lbs and then thrown a 100 lb duffel on top and still rolled them around with relative ease and with no degradation or breaks in the wheels (although with this much weight the bag will start to sag if you have the expansion zipper unzipped...which I think should probably be expected). Thus far the only two issues I've had with any of them is that: ...one telescoping handle on the carry on of one of my sets is slightly bent now after I dropped it down an escalator with the handle extended. The impact at the bottom with 65 lbs of weight behind it was enough to cause a small bend. As a result it didn't slide in and out quite as easily as before until I took two minutes to gently bend it back. Now it works perfectly but has a blemish. ...someone tried to break into one of them in Thailand and ripped a zipper tab off entirely as well as bending up a number of teeth. They didn't actually get anything out of it, but I did have to send the bag to the service center in Singapore. This might surprise you, but they don't cover lunatic thief damage in the warranty so it cost a few bucks to get a new tab. I actually opted for buying TWO new tabs so they matched perfectly...so that was a few more dollars on top of the few dollars it had cost before! Vanity. It'll get you every time. Otherwise these bags have been abused by literally dozens and dozens of angry airport baggage handlers, bored taxi drivers, underpaid hotel and bus porters, and I've never gotten them back with anything inside damaged. PS4 always works like a charm and my shampoo is always in the bottle where it belongs! They're exactly what you'd want in a functional suitcase. One thing that might be nice would be more handles...the carry on only has one handle on the top, and would greatly benefit from one on the side like it's two larger counterparts, and it would be nice if there was an indention or some other way to grip the bottom...throwing this onto the top of a truck when it's fully loaded when all you can hold onto is one handle and a wheel is not fun. ...but to be fair, most of Samsonite's target demo won't be throwing this suitcase onto the top of a truck. So there's that! :)

I bought this in checked bag size - it does come in a carry on size but this one would not fit as a carry on. It has a nice roomy interior. The separator flap has two pockets and two zippers and fits a good amount of things. The straps on the open side are adjustable to tighten around whatever is there so it doesn’t all fall out opening the case. The blue iridescent color is so nice and easy to see on the luggage carousel, but as other reviewers noted it does show scuffs easily. I’ve taken mine on one trip to Europe and the photos show how it turned out. I figure - I bought suitcases to use and travel and assume they’ll get beat up a bit, but if this bothers you this isn’t the suitcase for you. It was a good price for the product and I found it to be lightweight but sturdy, and roomy to fit everything I needed. Would consider getting the matching carry on when my current carry on wears out.

suitcase was a recommended one on Wirecutter. It looks great and is nice and light

I needed a new lightweight suitcase on wheels for an international trip. I did A LOT of research and was surprised the the reviews on Amazon for Samsonite suitcases were so negative; multiple other sites had good reviews, so I decided I should write a positive one. I bought the medium sized piece for a winter trip to Germany. I packed a a lot heavy, thick clothing including boots and never had to use the expandable feature. The separate zipped sides kept everything in place and the netting with two pockets was very helpful. It rolled easily over concrete, and fairly easily over gravel and cobblestone streets. It survived airplanes, baggage handling in the States and Germany, trains, busses and going up and down over 20 sets of stairs with no problems. It did not dent or scratch like so many others complained about. (Makes me wonder what airlines they fly and/or what they do with their luggage, like sit on the sides of it?!) The sticky residue from airline luggage tracking stickers and the rubber smudges from the luggage conveyor belts all came off in less than 30 seconds with GooGone and a paper towel. The handle does seem a little wobbly at times, but that is minor. I love the adjustable height feature of the handle. and the TWO fixed handles on the top and side, especially since I am 66 years old and only 5'3". I was able to lift, load and maneuver my suitcase myself throughout my trip. I bought my son a different set of Samsonite luggage 14 months ago that has made over 30 trips, including two international one, and both pieces still look brand new. He has had NO problems with either piece. I am very pleased with luggage and am looking forward to taking it on a two week trip to England and Scotland in June.

I can't say enough good things about this line from Samsonite! Since purchasing them a year ago to replace my older luggage I've taken them all over Brazil, all over Argentina, Singapore a dozen times, Bangkok at least once a month for the last 2 years, Ho Chi Min, all over Cambodia, and of course on trips around the US. I've thrown them on and off buses, dragged them from train to train, crammed them in and out of more taxis and shuttles than I can count, and dragged them about a mile and a half down the road in the rain (they're surprisingly water resistant at the seams and expansion fabric...although certainly not water proof). Through it all the handles have held up, despite the larger two consistently weighing in at 70 lbs and the carry-on frequently tipping the scale at close to 40 lbs (don't tell the airlines...that's way too heavy for a carry-on to be) and the wheels are still in amazing shape. The bags also look fantastic given them beating they get! There are a few scratches here and there and I've frequently gotten a bag back with a corner smashed in...but it always pops right back into place with no issues, and the contents are always safe and secure. The locks are still in perfect working order...the handles still slide in and out easily and feel solid when locked into place. All of the zippers work perfectly. The single significant gripe I have about this set of bags that would make it absolutely perfect would be more handles. The carry-on only has a handle on the top of the bag...which makes it a bit awkward for carrying up and down stairs...a side handle like the other two have would be ideal. It would also be nice if there was a grip of some sort on the bottom so that you could more easily lift with two hands when moving it up onto a rack or something of that nature...while most purchasers won't use them to the degree that I do, most will at some point want to put this bag onto a stand in the hotel or lift one up onto a shelf in the terminal bus...the largest bag in particular has a deceptive amount of storage space (I've had it loaded to 104 lbs) and picking it up by the top handle and a rotating wheel is...not super fun. That one caveat though shouldn't discourage anyone from buying them...they've stood as well and better to any number of other more expensive bags I've owned, including other Samsonites...I've been very pleased with them, and expect them to last at least another few years at my current travel pace. For people like my parents who only fly a few times a year this bag could very well be the last one you ever have to buy. EDIT 02/17/2017: I've now purchased 3 full sets of this luggage, 2 in Charcoal for me and a purple set for my girlfriend. I can literally pack everything we own save our camping gear and bikes in those 9 bags...to date the only issue I've ever had was that someone tried to get into one of them and tore through the zipper with a screwdriver or knife...the end result was one zipper clasp was completely missing and a few teeth on the zipper got bent up pretty badly. I sent it off to one of their authorized dealers in Singapore though and was able to repair it with no issues while I was in Malaysia for a few months. EDIT 01/11/2018: After 2 years and just shy of 100 flights, I ripped the seam of the inside liner on one medium bag. I don't think this was the result of bad workmanship however, rather I'd only packed clothes and some camera gear into the top section and zipped it off. The other side was not entirely empty but close. I think at some point the pressure of the gear against the fabric divider, without the support of gear on the opposite side allowed enough motion to cause the seam to give out. It's being repaired now...I'll add a picture once I get it back.

It’s very nice and convenient

Nice little case, good for cabin baggage.

Leichtes Packen, gut zu bewegen und trotzdem sehr stabil! Samsonite eben!

Jolie valise, jolie marque, je ne l'ai pas vérifiée avant de partir et une fermeture est montée à l'envers. Dommage.

Me sorprendió lo mucho que le cabe a la maleta, según la compré para mí sola, pero le cupo mi ropa y hasta para la de mi madre y aun sobraba espacio para mucho mas, es liviana y el color bello, mi hermano recién se compró el set de 3 maletas de tan hermosas y la calidad Samsonite es ganancia. Mi madre y yo ya la usamos en un viaje, mi hermano proximamente las probará. Gracias Amazon y Samsonite.

FANTASTIC PRODUCT. I FELT SO PROUD WHEELING IT SLOWLY FROM THE HOTEL RECEPTION TO MY ROOM. I DID NOT ALLOW THE BELLHOP TO CARRY IT ON THE LUGGAGE TROLLEY.
