Travelpro Platinum Elite Hardside Expandable Carry on Luggage, 8 Wheel Spinner, TSA Lock, Hard Shell Polycarbonate Suitcase, Shadow Black, Carry on 21-Inch

Gorgeous suitcase. Holds a lot of clothing and items for such a small carry on. Hope it holds up for several trips to come rolls super easy. The handle works great extends and retracts easily. Beautiful case. Love the metal bumpers on the top edges. Scuff marks wipe off. I just used it for a 11 day trip with a backpack. Used with compression bags.

Works great, rolls well, this replaced a 10-year-old Samsonite that finally bit the dust. Fits in US domestic overhead bins and might be a bit tight for some Euro domestic carriers. Over all great quality, but definitely suggest compression packing cubes if you’re coming from a 22” carry on.

Update: Several weeks after submitting my warranty claim, I still haven't heard back from Travelpro. I'd heard that their customer service was great, but that's the opposite of my experience. Updating to 1 star.I do not recommend this suitcase.I bought this based on the reputation of travelpro’s products and warranty. However, the zipper pull broke the first time i used the suitcase. I filed a warranty claim with travelpro a week ago, and was promised a response within 2 days. I still haven’t heard back.Outside of the zipper issue, the case feels rather cheap for the price I paid for it. There is enough play from the closure and expansion zippers that the two halves of the shell feel wobbly to eachother and flimsy even though the wheels seem high quality.The fact that it doesn’t have a handle on the bottom also makes it a little awkward to grab from the luggage belt depending on orientation or to lift into the trunk of a car.All-in-all, I regret this purchase. I’ll update my review later if travelpro responds to my warranty claim, but the fact that they still haven’t responded doesn’t inspire hope.

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!

Just got back from a 4-day, 5-leg trip with the brand-new bag. Literally removing the stickers so I could pack it. On two of those legs, the bag was "valet checked," meaning it was dropped off on the jetway and returned to the jetway after the flight. Other legs were up in the overhead. Some thoughts:Pros: this is a well made bag, with a solid-feeling handle that locks firmly, and smooth rolling wheels. It's easy to glide along on all but the roughest carpets with just finger touch. Good zippers, and solid lock that's easy to set. Water-proof pouch inside is a nice touch. And it's a good looking bag, unique enough to set it off from all the generic "black square" carry-ons. The unique look makes it easier to see when they plop it onto the jetway, too. Attractive, solid bag.Cons: this bag is smaller than you'd think, and a couple of poor design choices make it feel even smaller. First, there two versions of this bag, the Compact Carry-on and the (slightly) larger Carry-on 21-inch. Based on the description that the Carry-on 21-inch is "sizer bin tested to fit in the overhead bins of most major domestic airlines," I was hoping for a larger, just-barely-legal bag I could put a lot into. In reality, it's no bigger than my 20" London Fog carry-on it replaced. Plus, the interior compartment design makes it feel smaller. The handles intruding into the case limits the space in one half, but that's been mentioned and pretty much standard if you have a retractable handle, although these feel a bit larger. The decision to have both compartments zip closed, instead of some kind of strap-down arrangement makes the space feel even smaller. You can see from the photo that there's about an inch and a half of "dead space" before the zipper on the top which makes it much harder to utilize the space below it. You have to kind of wedge the clothes in under the "flap." I'd much rather have (at least) one side that's open, and they could easily have reduced the size of the "flap" before the zipper. I couldn't conceive of buying the smaller Compact Carry-on.I could take or leave the external USB ports, and you can see the scuffs on the polycarbonate hard shell with just a small introduction to the travel experience. More than I expected, but pretty much par for the course. (Guess I was hoping for a birdie experience here.)Overall: good bag limited in space by some design choices.
