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: Iâve been on 7 trips with this so far and no scratches or issues! Like the zippers when packing. Itâs easy to maneuver, very light weight. I like that it isnât black so itâs easy to spot in baggage claim.

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 â the zip cover compresses the fabric items.

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: Sorely Disappointed Travelpro
Review: I would Never buy the Travelpro Maxlite Air Hardside Carry-on luggage again. The handle does not lock into place in the mid or low range, only when it is fully extended. The product description did not state this anywhere. If they had stated this outright, I never would have purchased this bag. Because of this, maneuvering the bag was awkward, unstable, tipped over daily, and made it very difficult to wheel it down a regular city street, let alone cobblestones. Even moving through the airport was a hassle!Other carry-on bags I have owned, easily locked in multiple positions, making them smooth and manageable. None of them were as difficult to wheel, even across smooth surfaces!, as this bag. I am sorely disappointed with Travelpro and trying to return the bag now.My one week trip to England was a torture trying to maneuver this unstable bag over bumpy pavement, streets and curbs. It tipped over daily, causing me to trip and stumble, stop and right the bag, while having to grip the handle extra hard and muscle the bag everywhere we went. A week after returning home, I landed in the hospital because of severe back pain, no doubt the lingering effects of dragging this bag around. (FYI â I do not have chronic back pain.)Even more disappointing is that, after copious amounts of research to find just the right bag for my needs, I thought I could count on Travelpro to provide an excellent product and warranty. Wrong. Found out from the suitcase repair guy that he doesn't even carry this brand anymore and that Travelpro customer service is terrible. I'll let you know if they refund my purchase. That would at least demonstrate a small shred of integrity.

Title: Lightweight and very functional
Review: My husband wanted a smaller suitcase than the 28 inch luggage he now uses. This fits the bill. Smaller than the 28 inch luggage but just the right size.

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 donât overload on shoes and cosmetics.

Title: BUY IT!!!!!
Review: Bought the used version to save $$ and it has exceeded my expectations!!!! The older version I have is 10 years old and still holding up, just needed more to accommodate my family when traveling. 10/10 PLUS I paid almost 1/2 of what a brand new Travelpro MAXLITE from their website and took a chance on a used one. Still had all its tags and the box was slightly damaged but the suitcase is perfect! Would have used travelpros website but they were sold out at the time. The color is gorgeous and it will stand for years to come.

Review: My work bag broke and I have been using this in the meantime- itâs fairly durable. I take it to work (Iâm 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 ðð»

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.
