Travelpro Maxlite 5 Softside Expandable Luggage with 4 Spinner Wheels, Lightweight Suitcase, Men and Women, Shadow Grey, 3-Piece Set (21/25/29)

Purchased 29 and 21 to replace comparable 20 yr old counterparts that had worn out. these lightweight and maneuverable pieces are ideal.

25” Maxlite 5 The positive; Sturdy, lots of room, doesn’t tip over if packed correctly. Con; does not roll well at all on carpet, gets stuck on cracks, breaks or spaces in concrete and thresholds. Review; I purchased this for checked luggage for air travel for work, when traveling for a full week at a time. I have used this luggage now for two round trip trips and to be honest I wish I would’ve purchased the Platinum Elite now in hopes of it rolling better on all surfaces, not for sturdiness or quality just for rolling. Sturdiness and quality are great so far. The quality of the actual luggage is very nice. I like the inside top zipper compartment and inside side zipper compartment. If it wasn’t for the issues with mobility I would give it 5 stars. After two RT checked flights it still looks new. The weight for each flight checked in was at 41bs and 44lbs. The luggage is built to handle 50lbs, I would hope, but will not roll on carpet with this weight listed it has to be pushed! I did have my computer bag propped on top of the luggage when transporting. When I say pushed I mean pushed straight on pushed on carpet to get to my room! Huge, gigantic fail for me!! When rolling between shuttles to airport or car rental the least snag in the concrete would stop it, I was so aggravated by the second trip I would return it if I could for the Platinum elite in hopes of it performing better on carpet, walkways and blacktop. When I travel for work I like to push/glide my luggage along side me, not this luggage unless you are on smooth tile or similar flat surface. I understand some cracks will stop any luggage but it is a constant struggle even walking inside to the hotel from the concrete outside crossing the threshold of the building it gets stuck. I wish it could be exchanged after I used it for travel because let’s be honest you don’t know until you actually use it in real life circumstances. If I was a man with more muscle this may not be an issue but for me it is. I should not have to struggle to get from point A to point B unless on a smooth surface. Would I recommend this luggage to my Mom, sister, friend or coworkers? The answer is absolutely not!

We are traveling to Europe and were looking for a quality suitcase that fits the very restrictive carry on baggage dimensions and weight that many European airlines have (ie British Airways). We already own 3 pieces of Travel Pro luggage and have traveled extensively in the US and abroad with them over the past 4 years with zero issues. They are excellent cases and roll very easily. Unfortunately our current Travel Pro carry on suitcases are just a little too big to carryon in mainland Europe so we opted to go with the Maxlite 5. It fits the dimensions and only weighs 5 pounds or so which gives you more weight for clothes. As you can see I fit a large and medium packing cube with no problem in it. The Maxlite 5 dosent disappoint with carrying handles in all the right places, outer pockets, even a TSA approved combo lock. It rolls very smoothly and looks very well made. Considering the smaller size vs our traditional carry on Travel Pro I am impressed how much I can fit in it. Well worth every penny and you should have this suitcase for years to come.

Received in perfect condition!

I traveled for a month in New Zealand and still had plenty of room for gifts. Very well designed plus the purple color was easily spotted at baggage claim.

Sturdy but with the wheels a little large to meet carry on standards for all plans

Suitcase is very light weight and should hold a lot of clothes. It does have a smell that I cannot get rid of says the inner layer is made out of recycled plastic bottles so not sure if that is why.

This bag is exactly what I was looking for. I generally need to store my bag overhead and the last few times I used my larger carry-on I struggled to lift it up (unfortunately no one will help these days). This is lighter weight and the perfect size for a weekend, long weekend (or more). Comfortably fits 3 pairs of slacks/jeans, 3 tops, 2 pairs of shoes and toiletries.

Exactly as described out of the box, but have not yet traveled with it.
