4.0 out of 5 stars lightweight, sturdy - wish it had better handles, August 27, 2007

We bought this luggage to contain some very heavy items we travel with (my husband has a physical disability and this is his transfer device to move from the bed to the wheelchair). The transfer device weighs about 65 pounds. The size is perfect, the straps that snap over the top are useless for something so heavy but would work well for clothing. What I love about this piece is that it's very lightweight and yet was able to transport the device without trouble. My only complaint is that there is really only one handle to use when lifting the bag - the one on the side. If there was another handle on the top besides the pulling one, that would be perfect. It is very awkward to lift the bag otherwise. I find I have to use the plastic feet on the bottom of the bag for a hand hold and they are not the best shape for that use - sharp edges and small size allow only for careful finger placement, which is hard to do on the airport luggage roundabouts. Warranty is nice.

3.0 out of 5 stars good budget choice, but weak latches, December 11, 2009

This review is from: Samsonite F'Lite 31" Upright (Apparel)

First of all, this is a budget collection designed for occasional travel. Not for road warriors. I've had the 31" version for about 5 years and it's great for long trips since I can fit everything in one suitcase -- but it's very easy to exceed 50 lbs if you're not careful. Be sure and weight it at home. If the suitcase is fully loaded most women & children would have a hard time handling the suitcase. The wheels are great and reliable (roller blade style) and are perfect for parking lots, rough sidewalks, cobblestone streets, etc. My main gripe is that every time I pick up it up from baggage claim the center latch is open. It doesn't stay shut. The side latches secure it nicely since there is a slide-lock, but there is no such slide lock on the center latch. I am terrified that one day I will pick up the suitcase and it will be gaping open with half my stuff gone. Hasn't happened yet, but it could easily happen if TSA or the airline opens the luggage and forgets to secure the side latches. My next suitcase will be a Samsonite, but I'll look for a hardside model with a zip-around closure instead (probably the Dura-lite series).

4.0 out of 5 stars LUGGAGE, November 16, 2007

I have a luggage container from samsonite that is 20 years old that the lock was broken on. I wanted a replacement for it and found this new model. The plastic is not as strong as my original suitcase, but it gets the job done. The new handle that allows the suitcase to roll on the fattest side is much better and more stable than the old one that allows the suitcase to roll on its skinney side. The locks are strong and the wheels roll very nicely.
