Review: Travelpro is the Beast!!! Best suitcases ever!!! - I bought my first set of Travelpro Platinum Elite Hardside suitcases 3 years ago, a size 21" (carry-on) and a 25" because I travel extensively (roughly 50 flights a year). A year later I purchased another 25" Travelpro Platinum Elite Hardside suitcase because I frequently need to 2 of the larger suitcases to carry all of my training supplies (I am a trainer for a nationwide company). My checked 25" suitcases are always filled to capacity, typically weighing 45-50 lbs each. In other words, I am very hardon these suitcases. I rarely use rental car shuttles, preferring to walk to the rental car facility when possible for additional exercise, dragging along these filled-to-capacity suitcase. In all these travels, these incredible suitcases have held up. The wheels remain smooth as glass. The airlines have beat them to hell, but they remain fully functional and intact. Recently (2 weeks ago), I had one wheel go out (a bearing issue). I notified Travelpro Customer Support, and they had 4 wheels in the mail to me the next day!!!! The great thing about these suitcases is that the wheels are all interchangeable. You can take wheels off a 21" suitcase and easily put it on a 25" suitcase (can't do that with other brands). These suitcases are built to take a beating, and if they are damaged (especially the wheels), they can be easily repaired. Yes, these are more expensive, but they are worth every penny. My old "popular" brand suitcase would make it about a year before they gave out, typically the wheels. But I could never find replacement wheels for them, so I would have to buy another set. That's when I gave Travelpro a shot, and boy, did they deliver. They are supper lightweight, but somehow super durable. Maximum capacity inside to fit all your belongings. I been a heavily traveler for the last 15 years. I kick myself in the head for not buying Travelpro sooner. Review: Worth the investment! - Excellent carry on. Husband said he could easily push/pull the suitcase around with two fingers. Very smooth. Held 4 days of clothes for Miami easily without even using the expansion. We love the color and weight of it. Only time will tell if the wheels last and will survive check in if needed. So far all the reviews are correct. Might even splurge for the bigger suitcase and get me a matching carry on. Good upgrade from the other popular brand we have. Love the look too. Pricey for the size but willing to invest if it makes life easier to travel through the airport. So far so good! Would recommend. ## Features - EFFORTLESS MOBILITY & ORGANIZED TRAVEL: PrecisionGlide spinner system with self-aligning MagnaTrac wheels, 4‑stop PowerScope handle & Contour Grip; dual interior zip dividers, two accessory pockets (one water‑resistant), plus 2″ expansion - DURABLE & SECURE: Ultra-strong 100% polycarbonate hard shell with aluminum corner guards protects contents and has a stylish, textured finish resists scuffs or scratching.

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! ## Frequently Bought Together - Travelpro Platinum Elite Hardside Expandable Spinner Wheel Luggage TSA Lock Hard Shell Polycarbonate Suitcase, Dark Sky Blue, Carry-on 21-Inch - Apple AirTag 4 Pack.
