Functional but easily scratched/scuffed/shredded!!
on April 27, 2026
Posted by: LB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a new large suitcase and settled on the large freeform spinner in white & gray. The functionality and packing space were exactly what I needed. It rolls nicely and it looks really nice, when it's new. What I wasn't expecting was how horrible of a condition it would be in after just 1 flight, especially when it's marketed to be SUPER resilient and resistant to damage. There are dozens of deep scuff marks and even a few areas where the case has shredded material hanging off it. I've attached several photos to show you what it looks like after doing my best to clean it up. So sad. The piece was brand new and this is how the outside is after 1 flight from NYC to Paris. I'm so disappointed, and it's actually a little embarrassing because the suitcase is made to stand out with the bright white on light grey, with the bright green accents. Such a pretty suitcase, until you use it. I flew American Airlines and they said they don't cover this because they consider it "normal wear and tear" and "customers assume the risk". I will continue using this suitcase, but only for private excursions where I can keep it hidden. I definitely will not be able to use it for overseas travel or when I need to look my best if appearances are important like a business venture or another stylish trip to Europe.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good with a caveat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used it for two trips so far. It packs easily, and moves smoothly. My biggest complaint, though, is that it’s difficult to open and put on a luggage rack. It wants to slip off a standard luggage rack, and since contents are shared with two sides, one side always has to be lifted up. I suppose this is standard for a hard-side case, but it’s not easy to deal with.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve taken 2 trips with the Freeform Spinner and was very happy! So smooth and light, it just glides. With all of the frustrations at the airport and traveling these days it’s really nice to have the perfect luggage!

Still using zippers which baggage handlers can easily compromise.

Beware - seems that there is no warranty coverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in May of last year. In March of this year, the handle broke off. I tried three times to make a warranty claim through the designated "Chat" online, but couldn't. I won't buy another Samsonite suitcase nor will I recommend the brand to anyone else.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love the carry-on but nowhere in the suitcase or box did it show me how to set the combination lock. I had to go on line to find the directions!
