Samsonite Travel Products
Love this Samsonite frame suitcase – I prefer framed suitcases because they are easier to open and close and zipper types can break when filled to the max which I often do. There aren’t… Read more
that many light weight frame suitcases around. I like the spinner because it is sturdy yet easy to manoeuvre but still lighter than most frame type suitcases. We have 3 and about to buy a 4th. They have been through quite tough travel. Once a wheel did break when coming out from baggage claim and the suitcase was particularly heavy but it was fixed by the anirline and has been fine since.
Lightweight and durable – . I usually travel a lot for work and have been using this bag for a while now. It is durable and very light. Easy to walk with even on rough footpaths. Very good product

As noted the plastic finish of these cases scratched quite badly after just 1 trip. The cases are constructed cheaply with metal screws straight into… Read more
not very robust plastic. Out of the two cases we have 1 has had the plastic plug holding the extending handle come out after the first trip and the second case lost a skid block since the metal self tapping screws just pull straight out of the external plastic blocks. 1 star because at least the wheels are still attached and another because the zips seem robust. Also be warned a lot of people have these cases so make sure to mark your case in some way to identify it on the carousel.
Well designed work laptop/overnight travel bag – This bag is light, black and has two compartments and three outer pockets: - the back compartment is for a laptop and can fit additional files - the… Read more
front compartment is a space that contains a full size mesh zip pocket, a half size mesh zip pocket and a half size non-zip pocket. The front of the bag on the outside hosts three zip pockets. The top pocket runs down the length of the bag, the middle pocket contains two pen holders and the bottom pocket is great for small items.
Positives - five zip pockets - can be used for work or overnight travel - on the back is a band that will slide over a wheelie-suitcase for travel - smart appearance - compact but is spacious
Negative - no key holder
I highly recommend this bag.
Great travel backpack – I have used this backpack for travel a few times now and I love it. The front small pocket is great for storing your phone for easy access. I also… Read more
love the top small padded pocket for glasses and AirPods. We used the inside back pocket for passports and locked the zips together for added security. The pockets on the sides are great for water bottles and umbrellas. It was also great to take off my back and connect to luggage while in long customs queues. Zips work beautifully and it looks great. Only downside is that with so many pockets I often forgot where I put stuff.
Wheels don't hold up for very long at all – I bought this as a set of three. The 55cm is still holding up reasonably well and gets the most use but, like the other reviewer, I quickly became… Read more
aware that the wheels on the two larger suitcases didn't hold up to much use at all. After two overseas trips in airports and train stations, the medium sized one was unable to steer and quickly saw tears in the material at the rear of the case. The larger one (80cm) has only been used once for a trip to Europe with minimal transport but I wouldn't be confident of its ability to steer for much longer. 3 years is not a lot for suitcases that get moderate use - particularly for samsonite and their so-called 10 year warranty. It was my first samsonite set and I won't buy this brand again.
Disappointing – This is the worst suitcase I have owned. When full(21kg) the wheels do not run straight. I had great difficulty maneuvering this case through… Read more
airports, stations etc. It would veer to one side suddenly and I had to manhandle it to stop crashing into people and objects. Also when the zip compartment was full the case would topple over forwards. Definitely not fit for purpose.
Hi Paul, We're truly sorry to hear about your… Read more
