I replaced a 20 year old Samsonite with this new bag for a week in New York City so I wasn't sure what to expect. I am happy to report I love this large Spinner! It's bigger than I expected but was very ease to move around airports, Ubers and to pull off airport carousels. I had plenty of room to pack every thing I need and a few things I didn't. You should definitely but this wonderful tool.
I bought this luggage less than a year ago and it immediately scuffed with my first trip. This is only from normal wear and tear traveling. I’m super disappointed because I had another set of samsonite that lasted me probably about 8 years but that style was discontinued but just assumed that all their products are great and was sorely mistaken by this line.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am extremely disappointed to discover that the provided interior dimensions are FALSE. I purchased this specifically to transport a computer case that 20" long and 21.5" tall. The interior length of this luggage is AT MOST 19". However, it has lots of inward-pointing protrusions that cause the usable length for fitting a solid rectangular object to be at most 18". The corners are also cut diagonally, so the depending the thickness of a rectangular prism object you want to fit, the usable length might be up to 4" less than that. This luggage is useless for the purpose that I purchased it for,

This was exactly the size I was looking for but unfortunately, the zippers broke in two separate instances. Customer service was great and helpful (and issued refunds/replacements twice) but wish this suitcase worked out.

The retractable handle broke the first time I used this luggage, making it very difficult to use the rest of the trip. This is disappointing for a brand I have otherwise enjoyed.

I currently own 3 Freeform Large spinners and have traveled extensively with them. The scratches on the exterior is just something you have to get over. I mean, they are beautiful beforehand and all scratches will become very visible after light use. The wheels of one cracked, the zipper broke on another, and the handles have been doing pretty well after multiple usage. If I knew it would scratch this much, I would probably have opted for a more rubber exterior. I currently have the Freeform carry-on and when they went to check it in, I reached out like NoOoOo to avoid the scratches. Wonderful suitcases just be prepared to get upset at the scratching.
P.S. After uploading my photos, I am embarrassed that I was checking these suitcases in with the scratches.

We purchased all 3 sizes looking to replace some older luggage.We recently used the Med sized bags for our trip to Europe. It appears the matte finish isn’t very durable and shows every single scratch on it. The stippling design easily scratched ed and flakes not the best look for a brand new bag. The rubber trim is somewhat flimsy as well. When we arrived back to our home airport one of the bag’s rubber trim was all bent out of shape from being transported or who knows what the TSA baggage handlers do to your luggage behind closed doors. Still the product should be designed to anticipate such rough handling especially from a manufacturer like Samsonite who used have a commercial stating not even an angry gorilla could damage their product. I guess those days are long gone. Lesson learned, a well known product name no longer means anything when they do not uphold their reputation.
