This seems to have Travelpro Platinum Elite's quality build, but it ultimately should either be bigger (to fit shoes better) or slimmer to fit under than airplane seat. I know there is a two wheeled version that can fit under seats, but reviews said that is too wide to roll down the aisle.
I was so excited about getting the Platinum Elite spinner! I have the older version with just 2 wheels and have other Platinum Elite sizes. But-the wheels don’t work as well as they do on my other pieces. I was disappointed. Though they do work and are easier to get down airline walkways than my old one was. Also, the fact that it doesn’t have an outside pocket for a water bottle was disappointing. I have a larger carryon that also has the battery compartment that doesn’t have the pocket but I really didn’t notice that this smaller size also was without it.
Great size for international travel and smaller cabin storage spaces. However my partner has the two wheeled version and it was far superior with pouches including a zipper in toiletry bag for quick TSA inspection. Seems like now you have to purchase all those separate. Like packing cubes. Whereas with my partners two-wheeled version you didn’t need packing cubes with all the zippered pouches and restraint straps. Also the extended handle was very wobbly in comparison.
This is a great replacement for my 10 year old bag - Love the upgraded roller wheels, the old had but two wheels, but sorely miss the straps in the main compartment
