Fragile zippers

from Tallahassee, FL
Fewer than 3 trips with this medium suitcase and the zippers (crown and pullers) are no more.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Quality & Durability Questionable!!!
on May 15, 2024
Posted by: JDaniell
from New York City
I received the Freeform Carry-On Spinner as a birthday gift. When I opened the box I was elated because of the brand Samsonite one of the most well-known travel brands in the world! My thoughts were: it is a quality product and will be durable. Plus, I loved the color, the style, and the ease of motion. However, I was extremely wrong. I recently had an opportunity to use my brand new suitcase for the first time on a trip to Puerto Rico. To my dismay and utter dissatisfaction my brand new suitcase now looks like it has been through the wringer. It looks dirty, used, and abused after one single use. I can only imaged how it will look after a few more uses while vacationing. Honestly, I am a little embarrassed to travel with it now. I do not recommend for anyone to purchase this suitcase due to low quality and durability. I recommend for individuals looking to purchase new luggage to look into other luggage companies for more durable and quality luggage!!! The proof is in the photos below.
No, I would not 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.

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
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Misleading and Confusing Dimensions in the Specs
on July 28, 2024
Posted by: spence10
I was looking to buy a suitcase as a checked bag. I ended up buying the Freeform Medium Spinner because the specs say the overall (external) dimensions are 27.9in H x 19.6in L x 13.4in W. I thought it should be the size of a large checked bag.
After I got it, the tag says it's a 24" Spinner with size 24in H x 18in L x 11.5in W. It's actually closer to the size of a carry-on. What exactly are external dimensions and internal dimensions in Samsonite's product specs? Normally people would think airlines' limit on size is about external dimensions. Your specs on dimensions are very misleading and confusing.
For flights in the US, Freeform Medium Spinner is too big for a carry-on and too small for a checked bag. Now I'm stuck with this awkward-sized bag 2 days before departure. For those who want to buy Freeform Medium Spinner, avoid buying it. Either buy the large one or the carry-on one.

Great luggage
on July 25, 2024
Posted by: KrisCon
I bought this set a few months ago for my daughters HS graduation. She traveled to Europe and this set was put through the ringer. On and off the plane, on and off several buses as they traveled from Spain to France, to Italy. Stayed in several hotels. Came home looking new still.
I would recommend this to a friend!
