Purchased 7 months ago. All of a sudden going to the airport the handle gets stuck!!! Goes down halfway and then the right side of handle is locked. I'm currently writing this at the airport.
Cons: Poor Quality

Not Really A Carry-On
on January 14, 2024

This bag was highly-rated on multiple review sites, so I purchased it for an upcoming trip. When I received the luggage I was impressed by the quality of the product. When I checked the airline website to make sure it would meet their Carry-On dimensions it wouldn't qualify. I recently checked the Samsonite Chart and only 3 out of 31 airlines consider it a Carry-On Luggage.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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

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.

Not the quality I expected
on February 13, 2023
Posted by: K M B
Expansion zipper broke on first use. Plastic is soft and was very scratched and scuffed from one trip. Won't let me return for money back which I understand is the policy but was hoping for an exception given quality concerns. Expected better from Samsonite especially because the Amazon Basics suitcase I replaced was 10x as durable and 1/2 the cost.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

awkward at best
on November 2, 2018
Posted by: disappointed traveler
from Washington, DC
I bought this bag for a multi-stop trip. I couldn't prop open the top while packing. I didn't think much of it at the time. When I picked up my bag, I was surprised at the large number of scrapes on it. This bag is not a true 3D rectangle. Rather, it has eight sides. This makes balancing to pack or unpack very difficult. I suspect this also made it more vulnerable to scratches. The person with whom I was traveling had a traditional hard, four wheeled Samsonite. That one had fewer scratches after > 20 trips than mine did after one. I am so disappointed in this purchase. I thought I could count on Samsonite. I was wrong.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Poor Quality, difficult to balance, Difficult to Pack

I bought one in Woodbury common last night. The handle does not extend.
I can’t drive 2hours for exchange. What should I do?
