Samsonite Freeform Large Checked Luggage with Dual 360° Spinner Wheels - TSA Lock, Airline-Approved - Lightweight Durable Polypropylene Expandable Hardshell - Black

I bought one (carry-on size) for myself and then went back to get another one for my husband. Easily the best carry-ons we have owned so far. Lightweight, sturdy, wheels roll great. Very spacious inside. We just took them for a trip (and checked them in), and they both arrived just fine. Yes they got scratched (lightly), but I wouldn't expect them to stay scratch free unless you don't use them at all. I have only used it once so can't speak for whether or not it will hold up for multiple trips, but I don't see why not. Not sure if the carryon size will be accepted by international airlines since it is a bit bigger, but domestically it shouldn't be an issue. By the way, I bought "used-like new" option from Amazon Resale instead of the new option, and you wouldn't tell! It arrived in a slightly damaged/opened box, but everything was still new inside (all the tags and such). I usually buy "used" items to save money, and Amazon hasn't disappointed! :)

Love this luggage! Great quality, very durable. The color was pretty. The wheels make it easy to get through the airport quickly. Very smooth and easy to handle. Light weight.

The size on these is just right for checked luggage, roomy without feeling oversized. What really impressed me is how smoothly they roll. I was traveling with two of these plus a stroller, and somehow it still worked. The wheels move in every direction effortlessly, so I could walk with the stroller in the middle and guide both suitcases at the same time. Not graceful, but totally doable, which honestly felt like a miracle in an airport 🙌🚼 The spinner wheels are very responsive and don’t fight you when turning or changing direction. No dragging, no tipping, no awkward pulling. That made a huge difference when juggling kids and bags 😅 I also love the look. The subtle silver accent on the black hard shell is a really nice design touch. It feels clean and modern without being flashy. The shell itself feels sturdy and well made, not flimsy or thin, and the whole suitcase gives off that solid Samsonite quality you expect. I’m hoping these last me a long time, but first impressions are very strong ✈️💪 Smooth rolling, smart design, and practical for real life travel, especially if you’re managing more than just yourself. Would absolutely buy again.

I absolutely LOVE this Samsonite luggage set! It’s so light, easy to maneuver, fits all my clothes, shoes, bags, etc. My entire family ended up buying a set because it made our vacation so much easier!

I was planning a 4-week trip to Scotland and needed a case that fit the airline specs, but held as much as possible. I tried out a lot of different carry-ons and decided on this one. The things I looked at were packing volume, weight, handle sturdiness and operation, and extra features. I spent time testing how they maneuvered when packed with a heavy load and had a heavy backpack on top. (The weight can make a real difference as to how easily they roll.) Being expandable was a requirement. This is because you usually wear some of your bulkiest shoes and outerwear, etc., to create more room in the case. Then, once in country, it's possible to expand the luggage to pack those items when traveling town to town. You can also buy some things like toothpaste, hair spray, etc., to use while in country, and then discard before flying home. That can require the carry-on to expand, as well. The carry-on is fairly light weight and has good volume for packing as much as possible. It has a side handle, as well as a top handle. That really helps me lift it up to place on a rack. The placement of the zip divider panel was better than in some of the other bags. Some of the other carry-ons I evaluated had the zip panel sewn in pretty far down below the zipper edge of the case. This really reduced the depth that is available for packing on that side. This case did a better job with that. One thing that was really important to me was the maneuverability when the case was carrying a heavy load. This piece was the best. I can place a heavy backpack on top, and still whip around with ease on hard floors through the airport. I've taken it on trains and through train stations, as well. It's great. On the other reviews, I did note that people said this case showed scratches easily. Because I was going to a wet climate, I also ordered a clear plastic cover for the case. It worked in the rain, and also protected the case. It had to be checked on one occasion and was frequently loaded into the base of a bus. It still looks really good after 4 weeks of travel. One thing that Samsonite could improve on is the direction that the zippered panel opens when unzipped. You have to lay the panel over the other side of the case when it's open. It would be better if it opened to the outside so that the contents of the other side of the case was visible when the the panel is open. All and all, I am very happy with my choice. It worked well for a 4-week carry-on only trip. The color is beautiful, as well. One year later: This is still my favorite carry-on. It holds a lot and handles really well. It's great for US airlines and British Airways. The size is a bit more than allowed on Lufthansa and KLM/AIr France, so I haven't tried using it on their flights in case they are checking. I've seen people boarding with larger bags, though, so it boils down to whether or not you want to risk having it gate checked. When weight is an issue, this bag is about 1/2 to 3/4 lb. more than I would like, but it's not bad. I still haven't found a bag that is that much lighter, that holds as much and that maneuvers as well.

Second purchase of this durable, expandable carry-on suitcase. Wheels roll smoothly, has 2 strong top and side handles. Simple design with adequate capacity for a 1-week trip.

This is a great inexpensive suitcase. It was able to hold clothes, 2 pr of shoes and toiletries for a 5 day trip easily. The wheels were sluggish on carpet, and caught on some floor transitions, but overall worked well. I don't feel like the zipper is very sturdy or that the locking mechanism will last, but we'll see. If you're an occasional traveller looking for a carryon, this will work well. If you're a heavy duty business traveller, I'd think about something a bit sturdier. The color for those who care, is a dark plum-purple.

Update: originally this was a 5 star review, but I wish I could reduce it 1.5 stars. I traveled with the medium suitcase from my home to the airport, checked it in, then to my Airbnb. The FIRST thing I recognized the moment I got to the airport was the handle is not sturdy. It’s very thin in comparison to the suitcase and compared to other luggage. My suitcase was only half packed and the handle felt like it was going to break when I tilted my luggage and pulled it. On my way home, my suitcase was packed, and although it never broke, I had to often pull my suitcase with two hands while not tilting because it simple was not sturdy. I actually had to push it instead of walking it by my side because the handle just sucks. I had a heavy duffel on top of it and it really sucked to have to wheel with it. I used Away before and the handle bars are thick and crazy strong with you tilt and roll. You could put heavy duffels on top with no issue. This case, when fully packed there was no way I was going to tilt it. The exterior and interior is perfect. It packs SO much clothing. The expand feature is so helpful. It really is just the handlebar, which is a huge deal imo. My case cleaned off easy and it looks brand new. It got one scuff, not bad, but Away never scuffed. I wouldn’t buy it again because that’s how weak I feel the handle bars are. I wish I could return it. It’s cute tho Original review: I really am happy with this luggage, BUT I haven’t used it yet, so that will be the true test. I bought an Away medium case a few years ago and these feel so much better in my opinion. I think the Away shell might be harder, but I love the look of these and the quality feels pretty on par if not better. I bought the medium 24inch and 28inch. You can see my pics for comparison. Although it’s only a 4 inch difference on paper , it feels and looks way different. 28 inch is big! Def can fit a good months worth of clothing. I’m a light traveler, but want to shop with I travel and I think the medium would do just fine for that. If when I travel and have a bad experience, I’ll come back and rewrite this review. This review is initial impressions. Really love how they look, the rolling feels nice, and the inside is very spacious. I bought some color straps that really make it pop too!

Muy espaciosa, se puede agrandar, de mucha duración, no se ya cuántos viajes he hecho con ella y sigue perfecta

Me gusta mucho esta maleta porque tiene buen espacio es liviana y fácil de rodar.

I love this set and I love white but then obviously it easily gets dirty. Would’ve been perfect if it’s dirt proof. Lol kidding aside, durability and baggage capacity is superb.

Bonjour, j'aimerai connaitre le fournissuer svp, j'ai entendu dire que les samsonite étaient garanties a vie ??? et bien moi a la deuxième utilisation la fermeture éclair a lâché ... et c'est pas du a une surcharge .... Merci de vous lire, bien cordialement
