awkward at best
on November 2, 2018
Posted by: disappointed traveler
from Washington, DC
I bought this bag for a multi-stop trip. I couldn't prop open the top while packing. I didn't think much of it at the time. When I picked up my bag, I was surprised at the large number of scrapes on it. This bag is not a true 3D rectangle. Rather, it has eight sides. This makes balancing to pack or unpack very difficult. I suspect this also made it more vulnerable to scratches. The person with whom I was traveling had a traditional hard, four wheeled Samsonite. That one had fewer scratches after > 20 trips than mine did after one. I am so disappointed in this purchase. I thought I could count on Samsonite. I was wrong.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Poor Quality, difficult to balance, Difficult to Pack
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought one in Woodbury common last night. The handle does not extend.
I can’t drive 2hours for exchange. What should I do?

Modern. Superb Carry-On.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Freeform 110 Carry-On Spinner by Samsonite is impressive. From an aesthetic point of view, this is a gorgeous piece of luggage. It is on trend, sleek and stylish. The mint green color is beautiful, eye catching in a good way. (The recessed metal Samsonite logo plate is a nice added touch of style) The interior is just as stunning. A black and gray flower pattern that is bold, chic and polished. Mint green zippers are the perfect contrast against the silky like, black and gray material. There are multiple zippered pockets for your belongings, a divider to keep things organized and an elastic cross ribbon to keep things in place. I can easily pack for 4/5 days and still have space left for things I may need to add. Being a hard side carry-on, this is extremely lightweight at 6.5lbs. The 360 spinner wheels make it super easy to push/pull over carpeted or hardwood/surface flooring. It is so smooth. There is a push-button handle that slides up/down effortlessly. Also top and side carry handles to make moving this about easier. The TSA compatible combination lock is built in on the side, and is straightforward, no keys to keep track of. I simply love this carry on. It is perfect for me. I have to be extremely careful with selecting luggage, after having shoulder surgery it’s imperative. I need a piece that is functional, lightweight, and easy to maneuver. This is exactly that. The top notch aesthetics is a welcome bonus.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Too tall to meet carry-on limits.
on February 1, 2025
Posted by: frequent flyer
Nice bag, but an inch too high for latest carry-on requirements on most international flights, primarily because of the large wheels.

Exterior finish does not hold up well.
on February 23, 2020

from Collegeville, PA
Verified Purchase:No
I have the black set and while they're nice looking, well made, lightweight, and offer superb protection, the exterior looks absolutely TERRIBLE after just one trip. After going through airport baggage handling the suitcases look like they're 10 years old. The finish is somewhat smooth, yet has a slightly rubbery texture so it attracts dirt, dust and debris. Scuffs and scratches appeared immediately. I have other Samsonite hardside luggage that is almost 10 years old but still looks better than this. For the money, I'd purchase another set with a more texture exterior finish. Very disappointed.
Pros: Easy To Access Items, Easy To Carry, Good Capacity, Stylish

Interior dimensions are FALSE
on March 26, 2024
Posted by: Greg 2
from Virginia, USA
I am extremely disappointed to discover that the provided interior dimensions are FALSE. I purchased this specifically to transport a computer case that 20" long and 21.5" tall. The interior length of this luggage is AT MOST 19". However, it has lots of inward-pointing protrusions that cause the usable length for fitting a solid rectangular object to be at most 18". The corners are also cut diagonally, so the depending the thickness of a rectangular prism object you want to fit, the usable length might be up to 4" less than that. This luggage is useless for the purpose that I purchased it for,
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
