Travelpro MaxLite 2 25" Expandable Spinner - Black Reviews

I was so tired of dragging heavy well packed luggage through the airport, i decided to try the 360 luggage. what a dream, works well on carpet or hard surface. Have to say i don't check luggage since most of my trips are no more than 3-4 days so i don't know how it holds up to baggage claim but have dragged this across parking lots, through cities and its still is hanging in there. I travel quite a bit and am usually a briggs and riley girl but wanted to try this and am totally satisfied. light and tons of room even for all my junk!

just back from first trip with it...4-wheel drive is sensational (won't buy the other kind ever again) and it fit every airline overhead!

FAST JAUNT REVIEW:TravelPro luggage provides you with very good quality at a great price. We won't consider buying any other brand.LONG JOURNEY REVIEW:I researched luggage brands for more than two years; doing online and in-store research, asking frequent travelers what brands they like, and reading comments. In short, I educated myself before buying, as the price of two full sets of decent luggage could easily exceed the cost of a nice vacation.My requirements included:* Fully functional 360�spinner wheels (not just wheels)* Durable fabric* Lightweight for overseas travel* Expandable* Telescoping handle* Handles on sides, ends to assist in lifting and lay flat* Ability to piggyback pieces when rolling* Usable outer pockets* Good manufacturer's guaranteeWhen traveling with a purse, coat, carry-on bag and suitcase, I want to be able to get through the airport without feeling like a pack-horse. The Travelpro set meets my expectations. For example, when we were recently in Italy (to board a cruise) there was a baggage handlers' strike in Rome. My husband and I each had the following to deal with: 2 large suitcases, 2 smaller suitcases, 2 carry-ons, 2 coats, and my purse. We would never have been able to do it by ourselves if not for the `piggybacking' feature of our TravelPro sets. We simply clipped on a small piece, attaching the largest suitcase to a smaller one and then placed our carry-ons on top of them (this created a `shelf'). On top of all of this, I hooked my purse over the telescoping handle of the largest suitcase and then draped my coat over them. We tipped our bags and off we went--sans baggage handlers! Without using the `piggybacking' feature, we could have rolled the bags upright. Spinner wheels allow you to roll the bag by your side or, directly in front of yourself. This means you don't strain your arm or back, hauling a tipped suitcase behind you.Luggage comes in soft or hard sides. While the hard-sided types may be durable, they will eat up your weight allowance. We wanted a tough fabric that would hold up to rough baggage handling. The TravelPro does that. One of our suitcases was so roughly handled that, we needed a zipper repair. TravelPro stands behind their luggage. (So many manufacturers refuse to honor claims that are not directly a result of workmanship.) We simply took our bag (You may need to mail yours) to a local TravelPro outlet and the zipper was replaced free of charge. Nowhere else did we find this guarantee except with very expensive luggage.The telescoping handle allows you to comfortably wheel your suitcase at a height that is right for you. The workmanship is excellent. The handle effortlessly rises and goes back into place without any difficulty. (I was told to look for luggage that had its handles outside the suitcase and not built into the case. I did. But, the cost of these bags was prohibitive for us. Two sets would have meant spending around $3,000 or more!)Airlines' measurements of bags include all outer pieces. Hard handles, for example, can't be flattened like the soft ones on TravelPro cases. We didn't want to give up more packing room in lieu of the handles' space. The handles really do assist in lifting larger bags and were a necessary feature to us.Frequently, outer pockets are almost useless. They're too small for most items. The TravelPro's outer pockets are easily zipped open and can hold a substantial amount of things.So far, we have used our luggage on international and domestic flights, cruises, and car trips. Would we buy TravelPro again? Most definitely, yes!
