Terrible Quality - Broken Wheels
on December 14, 2025

Absolute garbage. Wheels break after single use and Samsonite’s planned obsolescence strategy makes it virtually impossible to replace the wheels, preventing repair and forcing customers to purchase new luggage.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have owned for over 6 years and has held up very well. Yeah you will get some scratches from airport travel and just opening it on the ground, but the zipper sections and vinyl have held up remarkably well, even when I put some strain on it. Also a second zipper can be unzipped to expand the internal capacity, which has helped me on several occasions. Overall a capable, compact, and, if you care, stylish, rolling suitcase.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect size for a weeklong trip. Sturdy, light, easy maneuvering through airports. The perfect luggage piece
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first time purchasing this item online, and the size description was very confusing. The listing said the suitcase was 27.5 inches, but the actual product is a 24-inch medium. The height includes the wheels, which makes it look larger on paper, but it is still classified as a 24-inch bag.
Because of this unclear description, I ended up ordering the wrong size. When I tried to return it, I found out that there would be additional fees, which was disappointing since the mistake was caused by the misleading information on the website.
Overall, the product itself is nice, but I really hope the company can update the size details to avoid confusion for future customers.

Making sure our customers are supported and satisfied with their purchases is extremely important to us, so we're sorry to hear that didn't come through in your experience.

I bought this a month ago to replace an older and very reliable samsonite model. I have found out it only meets the carry-on size limits for one domestic carrier. I now have to check this luggage in if I want to bring it home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am generally pleased with the overall design and functionality of this suitcase, particularly its lightness and the ease of mobility provided by the spinner wheels.
However, I have a few concerns regarding the quality and design of specific components:
Interior Protective Cover: The interior protective divider cover billows out, making it difficult to flatten against the sides when packing. While this is a minor issue, it creates an inconvenience that I have not experienced with my previous Samsonite models.
Integrated Lock and Zipper Mechanism: I have reservations about the durability of the integrated lock system. The zipper pulls appear to remain partially exposed when inserted into the lock, rather than sitting flush. They seem to be held only at the very edge of the mechanism. Given the rough handling luggage often receives during air travel, I am concerned this design presents a potential point of failure that could lead to breakage, an issue absent in my older Samsonite suitcases.
