Victorinox Swiss Army Tallux Collection 28 Wheeled Expandable Upright Review

Victorinox Swiss Army Tallux Collection 28 Wheeled Expandable Upright
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Okay, so do you see the second picture of this bag, how the wheel is slightly outside the perimeter of the bag? That small detail is likely to mean that you'll have difficulty getting this bag in the overhead bin of some flights.
But, if you know a couple of tricks, you can make this bag work...and it's worth learning the work-around, because, overall, it's a really good bag.
In terms of capacity, this bag has about as much room as you could ever hope to have in a carry-on bag. It will fit in the sizers (as long as it's not filled to bursting), but, if you can travel for a week with two mens' suits, two pair of shoes, five shirts, jeans, and 5 pair each of socks and underwear, you can fit all of that in this bag and have five days' clothes for business travel in one carryon.
Downside: the outside pockets are very deep, but not very wide, which means that they're practically unusable. Unless you have something long and flat that you're putting in there, don't bother. And if you do use them for a ziploc bag of toiletries, for example, you'll likely have your bag torn because you'll have to reach all the way down, and it's narrow enough that pulling it up will rip your toiletry bag.
It's fine in the overhead bin if you're in a plane where you can put it in wheels-first. But if you're on a flight where you have to put 22" wheeled carryons sideways, you may have to do a little hack. On transcontinental American Airlines flights, there's no way to get this bag in the overhead bin, unless you turn it upside down, and prop a pillow or jacket underneath it. Flight attendants hassled me regularly about this bag until I figured this out. I'd love to give this five stars, because it's huge for a carry-on and it's great for my suits, but I'm often stressed that I'm going to have to argue with a flight attendant about whether it will fit, and pulling my toiletries out of the outside pockets is often an ordeal.

Sure, this luggage may cost a bit more than some, but during our 12-day excursion to Italy,
it did very well. No complaints at all. Lots of room, and it still looks like new!
Would DEFINITELY buy again, and will probably buy additional pieces in the future.

Travelpro T-Pro Xtreme 28" Expandable Rollerboard Review

Travelpro T-Pro Xtreme 28 Expandable Rollerboard
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My thoughts on this bag mirror those of the other reviewer. I owned a travelpro once before and it rocked, it was a durable and well organized bag. I got the Tpro because I was so impressed with the previous travelpro. The t-pro xtreme began to fall apart almost immediately. The plastic that lines the bottom of the bag tore all the way off. The cloth began to severely fray and the zippers are showing wear and the bag is still fairly new! Later I learned that CNN money reviewed this exact bag and graded it a C-. Frankly I think it deserves an F. Youve lost a customer forever travelpro.

I usually carry my luggage onboard, but I decided to get a slightly larger suitcase for my trip Down Under. This new 25" Izod was perfect--just enough extra room for everything and compartmentalized sections to make packing easier.The suitcase is lightweight and sturdy. Next time I travel abroad, I'll be checking this luggage again!

Swissgear Lightweight Lugano Upright Luggage Collection - Red (28") Review

Swissgear Lightweight Lugano Upright Luggage Collection - Red (28)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After about a year of ownership, mine self destructed. One zipper handle broke. Another jammed in place completely. And, one of the wheels came out of its track. I find this level of breakage unusual.
I contacted the warranty people, and they said that, without the "original store receipt", I would get no service. Needless to say, I have no choice but to throw the case away.
So, if you buy one, be sure your record-keeping is flawless. You will probably need it.
As for me, I'm going to a manufacturer who stands behind its products -- with or without the paperwork.

I bought this for my father because he travels a lot and is always concerned about being over the luggage allowance. I was worried that it might not be all that strong because it is so light, but he has already used it and says it was great. He's really impressed with how light it is. My carry-on trolley weighs 4.5 kilos! This is half the weight so I'm adding one to my Wish List for myself.

I've owned and used a smaller Ricardo luggage piece for years. It is very well constructed and attractive. I bought the Beverly Hills Lite 25" Expandable Pullman because I needed a bigger one. You'd have a hard time beating Amazon.com's price on it. I am very happy with it and with my dealings with Amazon.

Excellent Product. This is our second set of luggage from Ricardo Beverly Hills. We only wish this version had the smallest size that other versions have. This version is light (helps with overweight luggage), easy to spot and we love the new denim color.

Atlantic Compass 29" Expandable Spinner Suiter Review

Atlantic Compass 29 Expandable Spinner Suiter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the largest suitcase I've ever owned. Now with two babies and my wife, we want to carry fewer bags on trips and just stuff everything into one suitcase. I think this should do the trick - it is big. The wheels are very smooth and I can't wait to take it on a long trip.
The matching 21" spinner carry-on looks great with this 29". I compared these two to the Costco deal which is a 27" and 21" Samsonite DLX for about the same price as what I paid for the 29" and 21" Atlantic. I like the Atlantic much more based on initial impressions.
At Costco the display suitcases look beat up already and you can see lots of scratches on the vinyl covering the bottom wheel wells. With this Atlantic, there is no vinyl to be sctratched and gouged - just plastic covering and the nylon. Also, the nylon on this Atlantic looks more durable and thicker.
The other feature I really like about this Atlantic are the front pockets. They have two zippers to close the pocket, so you don't have to open the entire pocket to take something out - this could save your stuff from falling out vs. the design of the Samsonite.
I will update this review if anything bad turns up on this suitcase, but until then it seems like I found the best value for a large suitcase, plus it looks very nice.

This thing takes up no space or weight. Its' expanded size is not large - say 6" or 7" diameter and 12-14" length. Compressed in it's own pouch, though, it's amazingly small, like smaller than a deck of cards. I used it recently on a couple trips as my dirty clothes bag. I'd buy it again.

Traveler's Choice Rome 29" Hardshell Spinner Suitcase Review

Traveler's Choice Rome 29 Hardshell Spinner Suitcase
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this piece for my girlfriend to travel to Europe with. By the time she reached me, the fabric that covers the spine of the case was completely undone, and the casters seemed to be on the very brink of failing.
She's attempting to contact the supplier or the manufacturer to remedy the situation. I would love nothing more than to report in a follow-up that the suitcase is being replaced. Perhaps we got a bad one, or perhaps it doesn't stand up to even one trip.
I'll post the results of her warranty claim.

Samsonite Aspire GRT 25" Expandable Upright Review

Samsonite Aspire GRT 25 Expandable Upright
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I decided to buy this rolling suitcase for a 2-week trip to Italy after I broke my last rolling suitcase on my return trip from Germany after I had only owned it for 3 days. First of all, I am currently deployed, which means that I had to roll this suitcase through A LOT of sand, gravel, and a mixture of sand and gravel. I don't think that any other suitcase would have handled it, but this one actually didn't break (it is beat up, but not broken!) Suitcases, in general, do not roll well in deep sand and gravel, but I rolled it through anyway because it was too heavy for me to hand-carry. Second, while I was rolling my suitcase through sand and gravel, I decided to help out an acquaintenance by putting her 50 lb. duffel bag full of body armor on top of my rolling suitcase and then rolling it through the sand/gravel. Believe it or not, my suitcase actually did not break. And then, after rolling my suitcase through a ton of sand and gravel, I rolled it all throughout Italy....up and down stairs; in and out of trains, subs, and buses; and over wet and dry pavement. And, once again, it did not break! Granted, the suitcase really looks worn (any suitcase would have at least looked worn after my harsh treatment), but the handle and wheels still work like a charm. So, yes, I would definitely recommend this suitcase to anyone. Especially to those people who really need a sturdy suitcase.
Oh, and one other thing, this suitcase holds a lot of stuff! It is very roomy, and yet the size of the suitcase is not awkward. The only thing that I wish that this suitcase had is spinner wheels (I actually thought that I was ordering the model with spinner wheels...oh well). It still is a fantastic suitcase.

London Fog Oxford 28" Upright Review

London Fog Oxford 28 Upright
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had the London Fog garment bag for several years and really like it. Travel to Las Vegas at least twice a year, and prefer an upright suitcase. I have gone through 2 new 30" suitcases in 2 years, the airlines break the spinner wheels off of the luggage. You won't have that trouble with the inline skate wheels, that are on the London Fog luggage. I bought the 28" upright piece in gray last week. Another good thing about the 28" piece, is you should not go over the 50lb weight limit, I have gone over the weight limit with the 30" several times, and had to move articles around in other suitcases, which is a pain at the airport. My wife owns the London Fog Oxford set in brown and just loves the luggage. For the money, you can't go wrong buying this luggage. Also, when Macy's runs a sale, their price is competitive with Amazons.
