Title: Plenty of room, sturdy, easy to wheel around
Review: My previous suitcase was something I picked up in Target. OK for the basics, and it did work as a suitcase. After some years of service, though, it was worn out -- zippers were jamming, the canvas had wear marks where it was wearing thin. Not quite done with service but close. I wanted to get something that had enough space for at most a week, would be durable, and would allow me to take it as a carry-on. I found out about this brand from Wirecutter, and I'm not disappointed. Versus the "OK" Target stuff, you can tell that the materials in this bag are of higher quality, the wheels roll more smoothly, the organization of clothes (especially if you use a few packing cubes) is light years better. I also like the hard shell versus canvas, I was less worried about stuff getting crushed if another suitcase was put on top.So the price point was one "jump" above what stuff might cost you at a big box store, but seems like that little jump gets you a pretty big improvement. I know there's more expensive stuff out there, maybe people that lives out of their suitcases and travel extensively find value in that. This seems like a pretty decent compromise.

Title: So far so good!
Review: I’ve been on 7 trips with this so far and no scratches or issues! Like the zippers when packing. It’s easy to maneuver, very light weight. I like that it isn’t black so it’s easy to spot in baggage claim.

Title: Not recommended, broke very first trip
Review: This is for the 28-inch model. When I received this suitcase, it seemed like it was just right for what I needed it for: A longer trip where I'd need to pack for more than 10 days and check the bag. It was lightweight and seemed sturdy, although even initially the zippers felt a bit flimsy. Was I right about that one.Half way through the first trip it was taken on, a 12-day jaunt through 3 cities, I tried to close the zipper only to find that it had opened u on its own behind the zip. I was able to work the zip back such that the zipper sipped again, but (a) there was never that much stress on it (the suitcase was never over-packed) and (b) it hadn't been zipped and unzipped more than a few times. That it came apart that easily did not give me any faith that it would stay together. (Thank goodness I had a luggage strap.)And when I got to my 3rd destination, when I put the suitcase on the bed, I noticed that one of the wheels was simply missing. No idea when it could have happened. Certainly when I was rolling it through airports and train stations and hotels and sidewalks I never banged it. But heck, there's no way that the wheel assemblies should not be built to take much more than anything it could have endured on this one trip.Thing is, even if the company were to reach out and offer a replacement, it would not be something I could trust to last. There is no sturdiness to this product, and for something that is meant to travel with , to be opened and closed and rolled and tossed, for it to fail in not one, but two places so, so quickly suggests to me that this is not a product that could reasonably be considered to be of even middling quality and is not one that could reasonably be expected to last even a short amount of time.Not recommended.

Title: good bag, skip the TSA lock
Review: Strong, lightweight, good capacity, rolls easily. The TSA lock is flimsy. It got stuck when I tried to reset the code and I had to go to a luggage place to get it cleared. Leave the setting on 000 or don't use the lock at all.

Title: Travelpro Max Lite
Review: I travel once or twice a month. I have gone through several pieces of hard shell luggage. This brand is the hardiest. I bought this one as a last resort before reverting back to soft luggage. I purchased this brand because of the warranty. It had held up very well, comparable to more expensive luggage. It has zip cover on both sides- great for organizing. I am able to pack all my clothes for a trip on one side — the zip cover compresses the fabric items.

Title: Lightweight carry on
Review: The luggage is well-designed and easy enough to lift into an overhead bin. It easily holds enough clothing for a 4 or 5 day trip if you don’t overload on shoes and cosmetics.

Review: Me llego mas pequeña de lo mencionado, se siente frágil y de mala calidad, no trae cinturones de sujeción por dentro. Mucho dinero por tan poco.

Review: Purchased my 21” Maxlite Air specifically to make the switch to Carry-On Only air travel. Had just returned from nearly 3 weeks in France and due to airline chaos in summer 2022 we went carry on only. My wife had a small roller but I had 40L Patagonia Black Hole Duffel which was great but a pain to lug through airports.The Maxlite gives me the same capacity, in a very lightweight hard sided 4-wheel roller. Super high quality and bang for your buck, consistent with all the reviews I had read. Also gives the option to expand it 2” in depth if you wanted to do some shopping and then check the bag on way home. I’ll update my review after our next trip this fall but it is ALL a question of capacity for me so I did a packing test-run.I’m a slim shorter guy (small shirts, 29/30 pants, size 7 shoes) so judge accordingly about quantities. But as per photo attached, I determined the max I can bring as: 8-10 tees/polos, 6-7 button-up shirts, 1 light sweater, 4-5 shorts/swim trunks, 4-5 pants, 1 blazer, 2 jackets, 3 belts, 10 underwear, 12 socks, 2 pairs of shoes and 1 pair of sandals. That includes what I wear on the plane (jeans, tee, sweater, jacket, 1 of the pairs of shoes). But everything else went in the suitcase, along with sunglasses, lint roller and electric razor…and that is NOT expanded. That’s up to 18 tops…and therefore 18 outfits, making Carry-On only a totally realistic option for ANY length of trip, especially if you had a Vrbo or Airbnb with laundry. I will add a third pair of shoes in my small daypack “personal item” along with my toiletries and electronics.So it had surprising capacity and was still very lightweight when full. The right hand side that has the handle beneath has less space kind of in 3 little channels, so pack accordingly with shoes etc slotted in between.The Maxlite Air 21” was below all the carry on dimensions for all airlines I checked and I looked at pretty much all the Canadian, American, and European carriers, including discount ones like Easyjet and Ryanair.I’m officially converted to traveling light…and the TravelPro seems to be the perfect fit to make it a more comfortable walk through airports or along city streets. Again will update after my first trip…but hope the above info is useful for anyone who (like me) was very hesitant to ditch the checked luggage.

Review: My work bag broke and I have been using this in the meantime- it’s fairly durable. I take it to work (I’m a flight attendant) x2 a week all over North America and have packed it to the brim. The inside quality is quite good. Only negative I have after using it for months is that the wheels squeak. Otherwise, I feel that the average traveller will get a lot of good quality use out of it. Fits standard overhead bins as well as smaller aircraft overhead bins 👍🏻

Review: As someone who has previously used the Travelpro Maxlite soft case, I appreciate the convenience of an external pocket for quick access to items. However, I recently switched to the Travelpro Maxlite Air Hardside 21" carry-on and have found that the hard-shell design offers more structure and protection for my belongings during travel. While it doesn't have an external pocket, the interior organization system is well-designed and maximizes packing space. Overall, I am pleased with my decision to upgrade to the Maxlite Air Hardside and would recommend it to other travelers in need of a reliable and structured suitcase.
