Recently purchased 2 pieces of the Freeform luggage. Large and medium sizes. The pieces are light weight and much easier to handle than our old soft sided pieces. The spinner wheels make moving the luggage from place to place so much easier. The TSA locks are a real plus and easy to use. Piece of mind as we’ve had item in the zipper parts of our other luggage stolen at airports. Overall a great purchase.
I have been using Samsonite since my childhood days and regret to inform you that quality on Samsonite products have gone so bad that it just doesn’t make sense to pay higher price and get low grade product. We bought large & medium Freeform spinner set that on our first trip got scratched all over like a 5 year old product. These are not small but big scratches all around these bags. To be reasonable I would accept some scratches over time and many uses to justify it, however just using it once and dealing with ugly looking product after paying good money is not acceptable. Yes, checked in luggage doesn’t get handled well compared to carryons but that is the reason we buy Samsonite luggage. If they are prone to scratches so easily then I think this should be mentioned on the product information booklet, so one can avoid buying those. I think there might be better products from other companies that we will consider over Samsonite. Thank you Samsonite for losing our trust in your brand. Really disappointed. PS: still under 1 year warranty
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
