pull-out telescoping handle is a real problem
on September 8, 2025

The suitcase itself looks fine, but the pull-out telescoping handle is a real problem. It doesn’t open or close smoothly at all—you have to shake it around and fight with it just to get it to lock into place. Every time we use it, it feels like a struggle. For something as basic and important as the handle, this is really disappointing and makes travel more frustrating than it should be.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

So beat up after one trip, extremely disappointed!

We had our previous luggage for 10+ years, we decided it was time to upgrade and thought Samsonite was a reputable brand. After the first flight, they were scratched and scuffed, they look terrible. After I 2nd flight home, the top corner was dented and and I’m so sure they would survive many more trips. Extremely disappointed in the quality of the product!

Very happy! Can't wait to use!

Decided it was finally time to invest in quality luggage as I will now be traveling quite a bit more for work. I fly occasionally (4-6 times/year), and I refuse to pay to check my bag! With this hard shell carry-on, I will be able to easily bring everything I need with the confidence that it will fit in the overhead. Previously, I carried a duffel, the spinner allows me to easily maneuver around the airport! Also, it looks gorgeous (just as pictured) I got the green because I was afraid white would scuff, but both are great! Oh and the lock...you have the slide the TSA part to unlock (comes preset to 000). There are directions inside once you get it open. Cheers!
Pros: Easy To Access Items, Easy To Carry, Easy To Identify, Good Capacity, High Quality, Lightweight, Stylish

Purchased 7 months ago. All of a sudden going to the airport the handle gets stuck!!! Goes down halfway and then the right side of handle is locked. I'm currently writing this at the airport.
Cons: Poor Quality

Not Really A Carry-On
on January 14, 2024
Posted by: Jazzman
from Evanston IL
This bag was highly-rated on multiple review sites, so I purchased it for an upcoming trip. When I received the luggage I was impressed by the quality of the product. When I checked the airline website to make sure it would meet their Carry-On dimensions it wouldn't qualify. I recently checked the Samsonite Chart and only 3 out of 31 airlines consider it a Carry-On Luggage.
