Travelpro Maxlite 4-Hardside Luggage with Spinner Wheels, Dark Purple, Checked-Medium 25-Inch

I started a job that requires frequent travel. At first I bought a cute travel set that included a travel bag that I was using as a briefcase. That suitcase broke within a month of traveling!! I was so disappointed, so then I decided to look for ones that had a guarantee if broken. I am so glad I bought this suitcase!!The color of this is so unique that it stands out if I need to check it at the gate. Most airplanes will accommodate a hard case suitcase, but sometimes the plane is too small/too booked up that you need to check it at the gate. I have been able to pack a couple of weeks worth of clothes in it. I wish I had bout the 25” one at the same time because it is no longer available in the color I purchased. The wheels are easy to maneuver so I don’t feel like I struggle getting around the airport with this suitcase. Other members of my team have admired my suitcase & I always recommend TravelPro to all of them to purchase too.

This is not a review of a free product—my ranking is not high enough on Amazon to be a Vine reviewer yet (but please help me get there if you find this review helpful!).I have been researching luggage like crazy, and was looking for something that I could easily spot and recognize, had a hard exterior, was lightweight, had solid construction and wheels, and could fend off the normal wear and tear of travel as long as possible. From my first overview, I would say that this suitcase fulfills all of those requirements, especially the lightweight and visual aspects. While the exterior of this suitcase is not extremely thick (which would add a lot of weight), it does appear to be substantial enough to provide ample protection. The springiness of the plastic I expect will be an advantage, as compared to something that would crack. The 25" size provides a lot of storage space, well suited for a 1-2 week trip, depending on how light of a packer you are. The handle and wheels make for a smooth glide across flat surfaces, and although they are lightweight, they do not appear to be poorly constructed. I absolutely love the color, which is a dark blue-teal-navy most of the time—it is certainly easy to recognize. While it doesn't blend in, it also doesn't stick out as garish or over the top, which I also considered to be important in my choice of color. It is sleek, but also sturdy, without being too aesthetically cold.I will update this review once I travel a bit with it, but for right now, I highly recommend it, especially if you are looking for something a little bit more recognizable than just another black suitcase.

Have only used it on one trip so far but there were four legs. Three legs as carry-on and one leg I had to check it. I really like it. It has a little extra space compared to others but no problem fitting into overheads. It is lightweight and does roll very well. One feature that I really like that most don't have is the handle on the bottom. Makes it much easier to lift into overheads. Gave it four stars because as others have mentioned, it is not scratch resistant. It did get scratches and scuffs. But then all suitcases are going to get scratched up on airplanes. The other benefits outweigh the scratches.

I've been a fan of Travelpro for years, and this does not disappoint. Light-weight, sturdy, good-looking luggage. Good wheels.I like the different heights the handle locks in to. Don't believe any claims that it won't scratch - it does, and if that bothers you, you might wish to look elsewhere. For a very frequent traveler like myself, it's the name of the game, even if it's mostly used for carry-on. There are a couple of slightly awkward aspects: As a number of reviewers have pointed it, it opens almost counter-intuitively, with the "bottom" seeming like the "top". Maybe it's just the way I use it, but I find the wheels can hit my shoes, leaving marks. The bag has fit in overhead bins without any problems until recently, when it got jammed in the bin of an old British Airways 767. With some manipulation, two of us released it, with some cosmetic damage, especially to the handle. I don't fly many small, domestic aircraft, so I can't attest to some of the overhead bins you may encounter.

Very well made. Stands about 1-2” higher than the stated dimension, which caused me some stress the first time that I tried to load it into the overhead bin. Some aircraft, it fit lengthways as permitted, in others I had to load it sideways and hope that the stewards didn’t notice!As others have mentioned, it can scratch fairly easily - but using it strictly as carry-on, that’s not as big an issue.

Great colours. Good storage pockets and hold in packing for easy closure. Rolls very smooth even over uneven or graded flooring. The outside gets scratched up easily so I can’t see it looking good after 5 years but the quality will last for sure.
