Title: Best Suitcase Ever
Review: I am absolutely in love with this luggage. When it was delivered I was super excited. The color was amazing. They ease of the way it rolled was exciting and I was pleasantly surprised that it had locks on it as well so no one could get into your luggage. Also, doubly exciting, you can purchase a power bank to use with the luggage so you always have a charger with you, especially at airports that don't have built in outlets in their seats (who does that anymore?).Anyway, took my first trip with this luggage a few weeks ago and this luggage wins hands down over any other luggage I've ever had in my life. At first I was a little skeptical about how much I'd be able to fit in it compared to past luggage. It didn't seem to have as much room. Much to my surprise, I was able to fit a week's worth of clothes, toiletries AND 3 pairs of shoes in this suitcase and not have to unzip the expander. I could've easily gotten more inside with the zipper expanded.Once we got to the airport was my real test. My right hand is usually aching by the time we get to our gate because of the amount of pressure I need to use to roll the bag and keep it on course. With this bag, I could've maneuvered it with one finger. It so easily rolled alongside me and even rolled without me even touching it. The handle has several adjustable heights so my husband who is 6'2" is able to have it at a comfortable level but so am I at 5'1". This luggage is amazing. The price may seem steep but it is well worth it!

Title: Love this case
Review: My new job has me traveling a lot so I wanted to invest in a new suitcase with four wheels. I was using my old 2-wheel, soft case and it really can weight on the arm pulling it. Watching everyone in the airports with the newer 4-wheel cases made me wonder how much easier it was to navigate with it. And with all the trips I had ahead of me, I knew it had to be a good quality case so I was willing to spend more for it. I did research and looked at a few stores to compare a little. I'm really glad I chose this suitcase. The magnetic in-line wheels are sturdy, there's so much ease pushing or pulling on different surfaces, and for its size it really holds a lot. For me, I leaned towards a carry-on because I really hate to deal with checking luggage and for the type of traveling I do, it's not convenient either. This fits perfectly in the overhead compartments on all airlines. I've used it on 10 business trips and one personal trip this year and it barely has any marks. I will probably buy its larger companion for a possible international flight where I know I will need to pack more.

Title: Parts missing
Review: I thought I'd treat myself to some quality luggage. The day I need to travel the handle falls off. I unpacked everything, unzipped the fabric liner only to discover there was never screws in the first place, not even a loose one inside the liner. The toll free number won't answer instructing you to their website. You then fill out an online form in which the parts list link doesn't work then erases your form you just filled out. 1-3 business days for a response with my next trip coming up.To be fair, I really do like the luggage, it seems well thought out and the wheels do roll very well as according to the reviews butThey're website states "Our priority is to have achieved the highest standard in terms of customer service. We want your experience with us to be like the first trip you take, exceptional, welcoming, and relaxing as we aim to put you first and strive to provide the best customer service possible."So can't I speak to a real person that will solve my quality control issue right away?A FOLLOW UP: It's been several weeks since my review. Travel Pro finally contacted me even though it was longer than they stated and I still would have preferred to talk to a real person. They REPLACED the suitcase so I must praise them here to say how pleased I am now that I have a working suitcase. I really do like the quality and would buy again knowing that they worked with me to my satisfaction. Thank you

Title: (Updated) one year laterâ¦love this carry on!
Review: Keeping the entire original review below for reference but with the following update:The wheels on this carry on are uncredible. I dontâ understand how they can be so smooth and quiet. There is no rollling resistance at all. It moves with no effort whatsoever.The handle? Not an issue. Works well. I especially like the height adjustment levels. Better than other carry ons. A nice touch.It is a bit smaller than my other carry on. The extender increases the overall size but the zippered compartments themselves canât be expanded.Overall. I love this carry on. Will likely buy the next size up too.ââââââââ-Original review:The magnetic wheels are a nice touch and make it very easy to maneuver the carry on. The wheels are also incredibly smooth and quiet.The case itself is solid and I really like the matte finish. It reduces the visual appearance of inevitable scratches and dings.The case is very light. I liked that. I travel alot and saving some weight on the case helps.My only concern is around the handles. They are rubber/plastic and the mechanism for attaching them to the case itself donât look particularly solid. The handles on my existing carry ons (I have two) are made of nylon/heavy duty fabric and they have been solid even though I have had them for over 15 years. I am not sure the handles on this Travelpro carry on will last that long.The warranty is excellent but it wonât help you if the handle breaks when you are 3000 miles from home.Hopefully Iâll be able to update the review in a year.

Review: Have used on several trips now. Nice and light bag - pricey but you do get what seems to be really great quality. You can push it thru the airport with 1 finger.

Review: Not the cheapest but worth it. Rollers totally glide. So easy to roll and control. The case and compartments are well designed and solid. Fits perfectly in international flight planes carry on storage.

Review: They look great, seem to be high quality and have lots of storage areas to separate stuff. My wife immediately had suitcase envy after having purchased new Samsonite ones just before me. Haven't used them yet though, so will need to see which ones tolerate the airline abuse the best.

Review: Used it a few times now and it's really good.The description says "Platinum® Elite Business Plus Carry-on Expandable Hardside Spinner. Designed for ultimate convenience, this feature-rich hardside carry-on also offers exterior pockets for quick and easy access to your laptop and other necessities." - this product is not the "Business" version and doesn't have exterior pockets. Would be five stars but for that bit of dishonesty (intentional or otherwise).

Customers like the rollability, looks, and lightweight of the suitcase. They mention it's nice looking, has a masculine and clean design, and is very light for its size. Some also like the luggage quality. However, some customers dislike the zipper quality and differ on the build quality and size.
