Platinum Elite Hardside Expandable Spinner Wheel Luggage TSA Lock Hard Shell Polycarbonate Suitcase, Vintage Grey, Checked-Medium 25-Inch

Liked: Design, looks, maneuverability, lightweight.

With the hard divider for the laptop section, it leaves very little room to pack anything inside on that side. And then on the other side, the area that stores the handle, there is at least a 1/2 of dead space that cannot be used, leaving very little room to pack anything on that side as well. Be warned, it doesnt hold much of anything. The area showing is what is available, I smoothed down the lining to hug the hard plastic that encroaches the packing areas. And the exterior is 8 x 13, so also smaller than regulations require.

It’s a great suitcase, about the biggest that can fit in overhead bin. Looks nice, sturdy handle and wheels. BUT the expansion zipper is poorly designed so the first time I went to zip it up, the zipper got misaligned. The main suitcase zipper is heavier-duty and works fine, but the expansion one is flimsy. It was pretty expensive compared to other carry-ons so I returned it after first use.

Was a lifelong Samsonite owner and decided to try the Travel Pro Elite 20 in. shell with laptop slot. Overall very good. Used it on three plane trips and two conferences. The good: strong body, excellent four wheel maneuverability, expandable to another inch or so, fits perfectly in overhead bin and is compliant with FAA regs, so never a worry no matter which airline you use, or the mood of the staff at check in. Very good for a short trip, or a week long trip if you have easy access to laundry machines. If you add a Travel Pro duffel bag, it’s perfect. The bad: After seven months, I was sliding the zipper that controls expandability and the pull broke off the zipper assembly. That’s when I first noticed it was made of cheap fake leather. This is unacceptable for a high end offering of luggage. Samsonite always used sturdy metal pulls on their outside zippers. A zipper for expandability will always receive more pull and stress. Was Travel Pro trying to save 50 cents on a $430 item? I then noticed the interior compartment zippers also contain the fake leather pulls on their zippers. When packing, the compartments expand and these pulls will eventually break. I had to purchase replacement metal pulls with carabiner mechanisms. Totally unacceptable for Travel Pro’s top offering. Hence the deduction of two stars for durability. Other than that, a solid, good-looking piece of luggage. However, I’m seriously disappointed in the cheap zipper pulls. Shame on Travel Pro.

This spinner luggage is an excellent product. The quality is evident in the manufacturing which provides a thick, durable, and yet lightweight product that’s easy to roll, push, and add weight. The strong outer case protects items within and yet is very lightweight. The luggage comes with USB port which is next level capacity for a luggage (power bank not included). This would make an excellent gift especially for a frequent flyer who often uses carry-ons.

There is enough space to pack delicate garments and necessities. There is expansion to add an large jackets and even boots

Unfortunately I ordered the vintage grey model in time for an overseas move. Item arrived in the wrong color (black).

I have used this bag to go on a flight to Italy and here is our review:

Price and great quality was what I was looking for in a light weight carry-on. This bag met all the criteria and much more.

The zipper broke the first time it was used.
