Customer Reviews
Still undecided? Check out these reviews from shoppers who bought the suitcase:
- “It’s got everything you need for such a reasonable price! It can definitely fit at least three days of clothes, has extra zipper pockets and compartments. The wheels glide with ease and it’s super lightweight.” — Brittany Newman
- “I purchased this suitcase in 2019, 7 years ago and it is amazing. It has been with me all over the world and still sturdy and no issues. In Iceland, it even flew out of the back of the rental car on the interstate. It slid down the interstate and remains unbroken and untouched. Best suitcase ever.” — Amazon Customer
- “Just returned from a trip to Brussels and purchased this suitcase as my carry-on. It was perfect and fit in the overhead bin without any complications. It met the airline’s measurement requirements without any problems. I love the color as well which made it easy to spot when we did have to check in our luggage on a couple of flights due to it being a very full flight. Overall, I would highly recommend this suitcase. It’s incredibly durable, has lots of space and the wheels rolled easily.” — Amazon Customer
- “I was told about these suitcases and went for it! Honestly, they’re such good quality. I used them on international travel and they held up well.” — Magare
- “I love this suitcase and was given it as a Christmas gift. It’s so bright and true to its color. It’s easy to spot at the airport [and has a] hard cover, [which is] the best choice to go with. There are many pockets inside so I can organize. It expands when I go a little nuts on bringing things home. I wish all my family would have one! I highly recommend it.” — Amanda
- “I took it on a trip to the Bahamas and went through six different airports and two cruise lines. [The suitcase didn’t get any] dents. Nothing was broken and all the zippers worked perfectly. I packed for a seven day trip and had plenty of room including three sets of shoes, plus some of my daughter’s clothes that wouldn’t fit in her overhead carry-on. I would recommend it all day. It’s been on several trips now and still works perfectly and solid.” — Jamie F.
