[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have gone through a lot of luggage. With the old ones, the wheels that start wobbling after one trip, handles that get stuck halfway up, and zippers that seem to have a personal vendetta against my fingers. So, when I say I’m actually excited about a piece of luggage, that’s saying something. I bought the Freeform Medium for a trip to Brazil, and I was very happy with it. It is ridiculously light. I’m a notorious over-packer (I like to have "options"), and even with my heaviest shoes and a spare jacket shoved in there, I was still under the airline weight limit. That never happens to me.
The 360-degree spinner wheels are a game changer. I’m not the most graceful person, and I usually end up crashing into ankles in crowded airports, but these wheels glide so smoothly that I actually felt like I was in control for once. It kept up with me when I was sprinting to a connecting gate and didn’t tip over once.
Additionally, physically it can handle a "beating", it doesn't show dirt or scratches easily, which is a major plus if you're paranoid about your luggage looking trashed.
I’m very particular about organization, and the cross-straps and the divider panel actually held my clothes in place. Usually, I open my suitcase at the hotel to find a disaster zone, but everything stayed crisp and folded. I also love that it expands, I definitely needed that extra inch of space for the souvenirs I swore I wasn't going to buy.
If you are looking for that "sweet spot" between a bulky checked bag and a too-small carry-on, this is it. It feels premium without being precious. I’m actually looking forward to my next trip just so I can use it again, which is probably the highest praise I can give a suitcase. I highly recommend this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My last Samsonite medium bag lasted 20 years of traveling to multiple countries and many cruises. While it still has quite a bit of life left, I decided to upgrade, and so glad I did! I LOVE my Freeform medium spinner!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a great replacement for a San Michelle piece of luggage that my wife and I had. Great wheels and easy to roll.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am strongly disappointed by the quality and durability of a Samsonite suitcase I recently purchased. After just one use, the exterior of the suitcase is severely and fully scratched. The material appears to be of very poor quality, and based on its current condition, it is clear that this luggage will not last more than three or four trips. The level of cosmetic and structural degradation after a single journey is unacceptable for an expensive brand like Samsonite. I will not buy it again nor recommend it to anyone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic luggage. Just the right size, flexible functionality inside, strong, light and looks great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced this same model with an older one, I liked it that much. After years of travel the baggage handlers finally did it in. I bought the exact same model, it's perfect for a 3-7 day trip. The ability to have it expand is an added feature that I only used once on my last model. Great bag, I highly recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great size and love the TSA lock. Holds a week or more travel needs and is lightweight with great rollers.
