Travelpro Maxlite 5 Softside Checked Luggage Spinner, Blue, 29-Inch

Great carry-on suitcase. It’s lightweight, spacious, and very easy to maneuver. The wheels roll smoothly, the handle feels sturdy, and there is plenty of room for everything I need for a short trip. Good quality and practical design. Very happy with this purchase.

CONTEXT: travel primarily by train and automobile, rarely check luggage, really bad packers who tend to overpack! Have tried to use Ultra Luxury brands (LV and Moore & Giles - considered an M&G @ $2K) as well as an older TUMI 21” w/ solid rear rollers. All aesthetically beautiful and some status pieces but get abused even when careful and often fell short of our needs. So, I took a chance on the Travelpro Maxlite 5 Softside Checked Bag. PROS: great price point, super lite, spacious, excellent build quality, excellent zippers, simple(not over-engineered) design cues, glides effortlessly, durable materials and pairs perfectly w/ Travelpro Maxlite Travel Laptop Backpack, Black, 18-Inch. CONS: would have purchased a different color if a coordinating bag was available, understated status for those who care. VERDICT: how will these hold up? I’ll let you know but in the meantime looking forward to under-packing 😀 in this simple bag and the coordinating backpack. Highly recommend @ $200 price point. Hope this review was helpful/useful. Safe travels! ☮️

Love this carry-on. It's a little smaller than the average size--which I needed for one of the budget airlines. Accommodates packing cubes well, wheels spun smoothly, and was very light-weight. i like the two zippered mesh pockets inside, as well as the two outer zip pockets. The outer pockets are great for holding a Kindle, a paperback, and even a small laptop.

I bought the 'TravelPro Maxlite 5' luggage: 19-inch International carryon roller and 18" under-the-seat shoulder bag carryon. Love it. If you pack it right, you can actually pack for up to a 3-week trip between the two. Note that I studied how to pack prior to my trip. I'll share what I was able to pack in a moment. I used this lightweight set (5.3 pounds- truly lightweight!) with other very functional items to optimize packing: 1. Compression Packing Cubes (two medium, one small + one packing 'tube' for socks and undergarments) made of lightweight parachute, water-resistant material (Eagle Creek 2-zipper system- you don't need to use a vacuum) 2. One travel garment bag for my business clothes (one Eagle Creek - large. Made of same ligjtweight parachute material with lightweight folding board tool + velcro straps to compress clothes and keep them pretty much wrinkle-free) 3. Two single-pair shoe bags (Eagle Creek -they're aerated plastic covered in small mesh black netting) 4. Cofreya travel-sized, silicon gel bottles that don't burst under pressure in high altitudes- and are airline approved for size). By rolling clothes (except those in the garment bag), I was ankle to pack: a. 3 dresses b. 2 skirts c. 1 pair of pants d. 2 yoga 'sweats' outfits including both tops and pants e. 2 pullover sweaters (wore one on plane) f. pajamas g. 2 additional leggings + 2 camisoles h. 1 pair leather pumps I. over-the-ankle leather dress boots j. 1 pair Uggs boots (wore these on plane) k. accessories- 2 full-sized scarves, packable purse to use during the trip, mittens, ear muff etc. I. 3 turtleneck tops m. 3 camisole tops o. Small - lightweight business briefcase 'envelope' p. electronics: small tablet, phone, etc. ...all that AND a bag of chips and small snacks! (and no, I didn't end up using the expandable zippered area of the luggage). Note: To prolong the parade of clean clothes, I also packed Travelon & Tide travel laundry detergent + Travelon travel bathtub laundry clothesline (no clothes pins needed) and quickly sink-washed items each night). Anyway, just sharing the details to show the capability - (and packability) of these 2 bags when using the right tools. The bags themselves are high quality and have a warranty. The pretty, dusty rose color I bought is wonderful AND it's easy to spot should someone other than you decide to take your luggage. Really appreciate the 360 degree rollers since I have the option of pushing the luggage alongside me instead of always having to pull it. Three telescopic handle gave several options e.g. when putting the shoulder bag on top the suitcase - or not. The design maximized space. I've included photos showing that the shoulder bag fits under smaller planes such as the UAL Airbus planes I boarded. You must insert the bag on its back rather than standing up - and it will easily fit. Great purchase and value, functional, lightweight design, high quality.

I take forever deciding on purchases and this was no exception. I comb through tons of Amazon reviews and then bring up assorted reviews through internet searches. I get overwhelmed and have to take breaks to clear my head. So when I finally decided on this one it was a huge relief. I loved its appearance pulling it out of its box. It’s light enough for a disabled person to lift. The wheels are fantastic. They are so smooth and the bag moves with a push of a finger. I liked how the compartments were divided and the zippered top. The problem came when I packed it full and then had trouble with the zipper rounding the top corner. Yes, the bag was full, but the other side didn’t have the same problem. I had no choice but to take the bag with me, and I hoped this was a one time event. I chose this because I dislike checking a bag if I can get everything in a carryon. So I was carrying it through the security checkpoint and was shocked to see two bins down the exact purple bag! What are the odds, I wondered. I thought this would be a fairly rare suitcase. Boy was I wrong! If I hadn’t gone the extra mile and placed bright yellow luggage tags on my purple bag I could have had a luggage mixup on my maiden voyage! I thoroughly enjoyed how easy this was to navigate through the airport and up to the Airbnb I was staying at. But both times I unpacked and repacked had the same problem with the zipper at the same corner. I ended up returning it. I didn’t feel good about a problem zipper from the start. I was very disappointed.

I love this set. It’s light, wheels easily, is stylish and easy to carry. There is plenty of space in both the carry on and matching tote. I’m so pleased that Travelpro makes this affordable set. I love it for myself and it would also make a great gift.

I purchased this bag to go on a trip from Texas to New York. I was excited to buy a new bag as I was in bad need. I did a lot of research and looked at various bag manufactures both on Amazon and other websites. Both my husband and I zeroed in on this piece. We even looked at brigs and Reilly, samsonite, and Tumi. I was deciding between this and a samsonite I saw at a local store. My husband did his own research and we both decided this bag was worth a try. I didn’t want to spend more the $500 after seeing some other high end bags in person for fear they would get ruined while being handled in the airport. However, I have never had a bag get demolished after only one domestic trip over all the years I have owned luggage. I was only interested in a top opening checked suitcase which then narrowed my options considerably. While I am happy with my choice to buy a top opening suitcase, I was not happy with this travel pro bag. As I used it, it wandered away from me turning sideways while upright to the point I felt i was dragging this bag through the airport. Being under 5’ and my family members a whole foot taller than me, it’s tough to keep up under normal conditions. However, by the end of my trip I was literally cursing this bag. It made travel difficult for me, like I was handling a restless 40 pound animal that was threatening to run off on me if I didn’t take a firm hand with it. As soon as I came to rest my bag with its matching companion carry on bag, the whole thing tipped over on me. I could no keep the bag from tipping over every time I stopped to rest. The outer fabric did not hold up either. I have had other colored bags in the past and this bag after one domestic trip looks really bad. I will most likely throw this bag in the garbage. I am so upset that I wasted my money on this lousy bag.

Best set of luggage I ever bought: lightweight, enough pockets but not over done, easy to lift with 2 handles and a "sleeve" handle at the wheels to lift luggage up, nice fluid wheels and well balanced. Good looking, too!

I have had Travel Pro before and I love the luggage

It's a great carry-on luggage that will last a long time. Pros: -It's very light -Inside compartments makes organizing easier -On the smaller side of carry-on so it will never fail the carry-on size test -Looks very nice and can be used for business and vacation travels -Got beat up a few times - saw airport baggage workers throwing stuff around for transport lol. It still looks brand new Cons: -The wheels, while work well enough, feel somewhat cheap?? -If you travel more than 4 days at a time, the size 20 isn't for you - it will not have enough space for your stuff

Obviously a very high quality item- and light as well!

Excellent product

Muy buena maleta, materiales resistentes, muy ligera, con buen espacio interior, la agarradera sale muy suave, y las llantas muy suaves también al llevarla rodando, además la encontramos más barata en el color rosa, y por el color rosa no somos menos hombres jaja
