Maxlite 5 Softside Expandable Carry on Luggage with 4 Spinner Wheels, Lightweight Suitcase, Men and Women, Black, Carry On 21-Inch

The luggage is well made, with comfortable handles (and one in the seam of the bottom to help with lifting). I’m not fond of the sideways side handle – kind of awkward. The wheels are quiet and roll well. It is light.On the other hand: it is SMALL. It is under the allowed dimensions of most major airlines so you will be losing packing space. It is lightweight, and I think partly because it is SMALL. I ended up not keeping it because of the size. I’m not going anywhere for only a few days and have no obsession with carry-on only. I’ve decided to stick with my nice backpack and check a small suitcase. That works everywhere.One major warning: if you want to return this, you must pay significant shipping fees back to the seller. I should have looked for that in the information but didn’t . If you aren’t sure about the bag, you should strongly consider visiting a local luggage store or department store and seeing what they have. A lot less hassle and expense.

This suitcase has great maneuverability. There are pockets and extra zippered areas, so room for everything. Just the right size for a long weekend with formal event and casual activities. We have a larger version that we took, along with a different brand suitcase of this size on a recent trip to Europe. The Travelpro came home looking just fine. The other brand was trashed, zipper pull broken, handle broken, wheels no longer rolling. We bought this one to replace the trashed one.

Easy roll wheels. It’s the right size for the airline overhead compartments. Like the two outside zippered compartments for my laptop, and other small items. Good quality. Looks and feels durable. Took first airline trip and it worked great!

This carryon bag is very light, the brown mocha color is attractive and distinctive to stand out from all of the black luggage, and the bag has a TSA travel lock, several handles, and two outside zip storage compartments in addition to its interior storage space. Wheels turn and maneuver easily. This is a great traveling bag!

Hard to find a quality carry on that meets the TSA 22x9x14 overall size dimensions. The Maxlite 5 is well made and has enough capacity to make European and or 5 day trips possible. Handle has 2 positions and bag rolls well. Zippers easily open and close even when packed full. 2″ expansion gives just enough room for extra shirt and pants. lt Worked great for a 4 night out of town stay.

This is a great luggage bag that fits in the overhead storage for carry-on bags. It is light and easy to handle, and allows the size most airlines require. The pockets is convenient for papers and/or tech devices. The 4-wheels move easily, and the expandable material makes it easy to include at lot: clothing, shoes, etc. Excellent quality.

I purchased this piece of luggage for a recent trip. It is a lovely blue, durable, super easy to use with spinning wheels so you can push from any direction. The handle on the side for lifting was a great feature. This was everything I wanted and more. It saved me from a sure-to-be frustrating trip with my outdated luggage. So glad I purchased this…it was worth every penny.

This is the third suitcase I’ve bought from this company. The bags are super spacious, durable, and light. I also love the colors because it makes it even easier for me to spot mine at baggage claim.

Why did I wait so long to get a spinner bag? This carryon bag rolls very easily and holds a lot. Well-made, lightweight, what’s not to love? I’m never going back to 2-wheeled bags.

This is the biggest size carry on I could find, and I usually travel light so carry on only is my preference. I easily fit 6 outfits and 2 pair of shoes in the interior. Lots of pockets for little extras. I carry my toiletries in a personal bag under the seat. I love the 4 spinner wheels, making it easy to maneuver. And it’s lightweight. The brand was recommended to me and has great reviews which lead me to this bag.

A lot to like about this suitcase but the 19″ model is nearly 16″ wide. This defeats the purpose of a compact carry on since even major domestic airlines like American Airlines have a maximum width allowance of 14″. This size makes even less senser when looking at international travel. If for some strange reason the width is not an issue I would recommend this luggage. It is lightweight and feels decently built.

Title says it all. We purchased this and two other Travelpro pieces after good reviews in NYT and with recs from family/friends. Purchased for our first flight as a couple and being newly retired. Purchased for long weekend, cross country flight for family wedding. Travelpro pieces light but sturdy; strong zippers; amazing design with no space wasted and lots of pockets/packing options. Obviously we don’t know about long term durability yet, but certainly appears this may be the last luggage we have to buy! (Although I’m also planning to purchase a larger Travelpro piece for longer trips.)

The Purple is always out of stock on the Travelpro site. I took a chance, looked on Amazon and there it was. I have the black roller but needed to upgrade to the spinner. Same quality and the color exceeded my expectations. Travelpro is the best carry on I have ever used-lightweight, holds a ton, lots of pockets, expands and durable. Always fits in the overhead on international, trains in Europe, etc.

This bag does what is meant to: glides smoothly, packs lots inside, and look goods with a sturdy and lightweight style. It has useful pockets on the outside and a good telescoping handle that works well and locks securely. Fits in all the overhead compartments I’ve come across on planes, and on Amtrak trains. Would highly recommend.

I love this suitcase! It is small, but mighty! Holds a surprising amount, and is lightweight and sturdy. I’ve had mine for about a year and love it so far. It has been on about 6 plane flights and held up beautifully.

This luggage is truly lightweight. Spouse has had an *airplane set* (carry-on suitcase and under-seat duo) for a couple of months and he appreciates the quality–lots of zippered compartments, sturdy construction, easy to maneuver and schlep for his weekly work-related trips He’s also pleased with the dark burgundy color. So far, so good.Now I have a mocha *airplane set*. Haven’t flown in years, but these pieces should be great for train and automobile travel as well as weekends with the grandkids. First car trip coming soon–will update.UPDATE: Three trips with my luggage now and I’m not disappointed. Love the weight, manueverability, and especially all the zippered compartments. Wipes clean with damp cloth. Great purchase, recommended.

I’ve had my 21″ carry-on for coming on two years now, and absolutely love it. It’s lightweight, maneuverable, easy to check or carry on, and holds what I need. The bright color options are an added bonus for spotting it quickly on the baggage carousel.I’ve flown with this coast to coast and also to Hawai’i multiple times, as well as a dozen or so jaunts up and down the coast, and this case holds what I need for a weekend or even a week and a half (I don’t use cubes, but a rolling method). I’ve also packed it with my clothes, then stuffed it into a larger case so as to have less to carry on my way to my destination and more room for souvenirs on the way home.When I carry it onto the plane, it’s fit properly sideways in the overhead compartments for all but the smallest planes, so I needn’t worry about taking more than my fair share of space.One zipper tab was broken while checked last year, but it’s still fully functional.

The size of the TravelPro Maxlite 5 Compact Carry-on 20” is exactly as stated. (I measured it). Which means that it’s very small for a 5 day trip. This carry on meets the size limits of Hawaiian Airlines.I didn’t check it in, so I can’t comment on it’s durability at being thrown around. All I did was put it in the car, wheel it to the gate, put it in the overhead bin, wheel it to my hotel room, and vice versa. It survived.This is my 1st spinner bag. I had a 2-wheeler which always tipped over, so I wanted 4 wheels to prevent tipping. I expected this not to tip at all, but it did tip over once at the airport. Of course right in front of TSA check point. So, it’s not 100% tip-proof.Pros:-very lightweight-rolls easily on flat surfaces-doesn’t tip most of the time-seems durable enough (strong zippers zipped, powerscope handle went up and down, carry handles seem strong, softside is strong material which didn’t rip, wheels didn’t break, hold straps worked inside)Cons:-I aired it out for a whole week in the garage and backyard. Still has strong odor.-rollers got caught on some cracked/stone walkways-the expandable feature is a joke. It’s only about 1.5”x8.5” expanding. Maybe 1 pair of W sized 12 jeans. The reason is that only a portion of the bottom expands; the top 1/2 of the suitcase tapers to “non-expanding”. This case does not deserve ‘expandable’ in the description.-when you open the suitcase on a rack, the lid does not stay straight open. Because the bag tapers, the lid is at an odd angle and it falls over. I didn’t like this at all. It seems that after a lot of traveling you are putting stress on the lid hinge and it won’t last long. Plus, it kept falling over and doesn’t stay open.-the front pocket is almost useless. I couldn’t fit my paperback book in it.Overall, the case is ok. It’s not perfect, and I think it’s overpriced. I was disappointed in the so-called expandable feature and i don’t like that the lid doesn’t stay straight open. But it should serve it’s purpose and hopefully it lasts for a long time.

Good Price. Light weight compared to most carry-ons, sturdy construction, decent sized interior, and nice outside pocket. On my first trip the expansion option was unnecessary. The four wheels look somewhat flimsy compared to the wheels on an Eagle Creek carry-on.The big turn-off is that upon opening the box the new suitcase had an offensive odor, however one month later it is not as bad.

r Smooth Rolling. The Travelpro Maxlite 5 soft side expandable luggage with 4 spinner wheels is very lightweight and the wheels spin very smoothly. I like this luggage so much that I purchased the 21″ carryon, the 25″ suitcase and the 29″ larger luggage. The first Travelpro Maxlite 5 I purchased was the travel bag that fits under an airplane seat. It is super handy with the side zippered pocket that can easily be accessed while sitting in the seat. I recommend this luggage; it’s the best I have ever purchased.
