Scuffs and Scratches After One Trip
on September 19, 2023
Posted by: Beckybf
from Preston, MN
I bought the medium and large Freeform to use on our trip to Hawaii. The two suitcases are scraped, scratched, gouged and look awful after one airline trip! I bought the burgundy color thinking it would not show marks but I am certainly beyond disappointed. I will only use these two pieces for car trips as I don’t think they would survive another trip through baggage handling at an airport. I also had problems with the locks! I would recommend not buying!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not durable at all!
on September 11, 2023
Posted by: Dragonflyamy
from Westminster, MD
I used this suitcase for the first time last week and it was scratched and scuffed much more than I think it should have been for a first-time use. I understand Samsonite is not responsible for the way baggage handlers treat the bags, but the bag should be durable enough to withstand normal wear and tear. I paid so much for this bag and have no idea how many more times I will be able to use it.
The bad thing is, I bought my mom the exact suitcase for Christmas and now that this happened to mine, she's scared to use hers.

Wheels are amazing but TSA 3-dial didn't work
on September 8, 2023
Posted by: PatriciaE
from Frisco, Texas
This is an amazing luggage, great size, durable, wheels are so smooth, and modern beautiful colors. Unfortunately, on my International travel, the TSA 3-dial didn't work for TSA officials in London. They tried to use all their keys to inspect the luggage, they called another guy with more keys, and none opened it. They had to use pliers to break the zippers, to open it. Now, I do not know what to do because I can zip the luggage fine but the locks are not functional at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

College travel luggage
on August 18, 2023
Posted by: Amanda4159
Used the medium sized luggage for only about a year and a half traveling back and forth from my college town to my home. The last time I came home the zipper popped open and split the luggage open while in the luggage was in the carrousel. If I hadn't put the zipper lock in place, it would have fully popped open and I would have most likely lost all of my belongings. Definitely not as high quality for the price, and something I wouldn't recommend buying.

Like Soft Butter on Bread
on August 17, 2023
Posted by: Bobbin_4_bobas
We have traveled with this luggage several times now and it is wonderful! It is white, so it does show scuffs, but we wipe it down with an alcohol wipe after each trip and it looks fantastic! We have gotten so many compliments on them and the wheels roll on any surface like soft butter on bread. It's amazing! They are durable, lightweight and fit everything we need to take on a short weekend trip or a week long vacation. Highly recommend!
I would recommend this to a friend!

one wheel gone on its first international trip
on August 15, 2023
Posted by: lyt627
from New York
Just bought the suitcase and brought it on an international trip. The surface scratches very easily which is a small issue. On the returning flight back home, I dragged the suitcase down the belt and realized that one wheel was missing. I've used tons of suitcases over the decades, and I've never seen a suitcase so flimsy and poorly made.

The handle broke on first use
on July 3, 2023
Posted by: Casa98
from NO, LA
We bought two of these Samsonite Freeform carry-on for a trip to Italy. One of the handles bent and does not move up and down very easily. We expected more from Samsonite.
I thought this was warrantied, but apparently it has to be sent in to be inspected by the repairs department before they decide if its a manufacturer's defect. Needless to say, thoroughly disappointed.

Started out great , until it wasn't
on June 16, 2023
Posted by: Free to be me
from NJ
I had this for about 4 years. Its outer shell held up well, with only a few minor scratches. The wheels kept on rolling making it easy to move. I travel for family and vacations. I flew about 6 times a year. The zippers did not hold up well. The part you grab fell off. I tries to get it repaired and or the piece replaced, but very frustrating getting anyone competent on the process on the phone. I utilized the online process, which had me paying and or driving over an hour from my home to drop off. I purchased 30 minutes from my home, although only certain locations permit drop-off for repair. I expected better from Samsonite.
