Best carry on for your budget
5 out of 5 stars
Best carry on for your budget
This carry on is it! I researched formonths looking for the perfect carry on. I was tired of checking bags and waiting for my luggage but also wanted a carry on large enough to fit my things. This hardshell travels well, wheels turn smoothly, zips easily, and has a handy large zip pocket. It has amazing quality and great value for budget friendly travelers. I love how it is divided equally. The function of 2 large sides is great. I use packing cubes to give me even more space. I've traveled to Europe twice with only this luggage as well as Mexico 3 times. It is the best!

Size: Checked-Medium 24-InchColor: NavyVerified Purchase
Purchased 24" check-in size. My previous suitcase was destroyed during air travel and a cruise, so I carefully researched this purchase. Received my Samsonite yesterday. First, it was very well packaged. Although I knew the weight, it still felt very light. The size is also substantial- it's deeper than I imagined, even without the expander. All handles and rollers seem well-made and functional. The interior has a good design to secure my clothing and even has a zipped pouch for small items. I usually pack light, but wanted this size for an extended holiday next year. It should carry ample clothes for a few weeks, yet is still maneuverable for transfer from taxi to plane, train, or ship. Very pleased with the quality and expect this bag will accompany me on a few adventures.

Size: Carry-On 21-InchColor: NavyVerified Purchase
I needed a light, durable, hard-shell case for a two week vacation trip to Japan and for many future trips (it replaced an old, heavy, soft side two wheeler). I did lots of shopping, really love this suitcase; it does everything better - 100% happy. Traveling with a suitcase has never been easier. Sturdy rollers glide along walkways, across rough sidewalks, roads and carpeting too. It looks good - easy to spot in baggage claim. It has super capacity and its expansion zipper came in handy when it was overloaded with gifts. The mid case opening zipper, inside zip divider and pocket make it easy to get at the contents you want without having to empty it. Finally, it is durable, well-made and easy to handle. I gave it to airline checked baggage, pushed it across large, busy airports, train stations and long distances to hotels on sidewalks, across roads, loaded it on overhead train compartments and taxis. After visiting 7 places in two weeks, it still looks new. I'm looking forward to many years of great service.

Size: Checked-Medium 24-InchColor: NavyVerified Purchase
So I just got the 24-inch size, after previously getting a set of the 21-inch and 28-inch. With the size difference between the 21-inch carry-on model and the 28-inch checked baggage size, there is of course no problem with putting the smaller one inside the 28-inch.

Unfortunately the 21-inch, like all carry-on luggage, really only holds enough for a couple of days by itself. So I wanted to get the 24-inch middle size. Anything larger than 21 inches will need to be checked, in case anyone is still not sure about that. Some airlines will even complain if your 21-inch case is expanded and can't fit easily in the provided metal frame baggage size tester you see at a lot of gates or check-in counters. So be careful about leaving the 21-inch size expanded when you're actually trying to use it as a carry-on.

I was hesitant to order the 24-inch because I wasn't certain that it would successfully nest inside the 28-inch model. I could find no information on this in the answered questions or anywhere in online reviews of these exact "Freeform" luggage models. The dimensional difference between the 24 and 28-inch models isn't nearly as much as between the 21 and 28-inch models.

This is potentially very important if you either A) live in a very small place to begin with, or B) wind up in a very cramped hotel room (or even just one with a really awkward layout) where they don't provide a decent spot to store both a 24-inch and a 28-inch luggage case separately without one of them really being in the way. Closets are typically just big enough to store one or the other size, but probably not both if you can't nest them first. Trying to stack them vertically will typically just use up all available space for hanging outerwear in an already tiny hotel closet.

I took a chance and ordered it anyway, without knowing the answer. The news is mostly good. I found that the 21-inch fits easily within the 24-inch. So that was a very good start. But the 28-inch won't quite close with the 24-inch inside. Not nearly as easily as when I fit the 21-inch into the 24-inch. Seems like the 24-inch is a bit too thick. Luckily, all three models have an expansion zipper around the middle. Once the largest case is expanded, the main zipper will successfully close all the way around with the 24-inch inside.

So, technically, you can nest all three together, 21/24/28, as a set. You just have to expand the 28-inch case first. The complete set of three cases will then take up a couple of inches more room than expected in the front-side to back-side dimension wherever you decide to store it. I don't think I would recommend trying to compress it to re-close the expansion zipper and then leave it that way in long term storage. Probably not a good idea.

As for a review of the cases themselves, they have been pretty sturdy so far, and they are pretty lightweight without really feeling flimsy at all. The double wheels on each corner provide more stability and ability to roll over slightly rough surfaces like tiled walkways, moderate carpeting and asphalt, compared to spinner cases that only put a single inline-skate type wheel on each corner. I really dislike those. And of course they are all spinners, which is a far superior arrangement to tilt-and-roll types of luggage. You can actually put quite a large bag (like a ~30LB backpack) on top of any of these sizes and still roll the whole thing around on its four wheels without too much trouble. The larger sizes will be more stable, but even the 21-inch isn't too bad.

Put two of these spinners back to back and it's not too difficult to hold the extended handles together with one hand and angle the two so that you can use your knee behind the larger one to get it going, and then push the smaller one along in front of the bigger one. Once they start moving it works out pretty well.

The sides are plastic and tend to develop a lot of static when the humidity is low. So you may wind up with a lot of dust/hair all over them if you lay them down on a carpet before a thorough vacuuming. Rubbing the outside with a dryer sheet may help with this.

Some colors seem to have a glossy finish. The navy blue and others have a sort of tiny diamond-shaped matte texture except in the grooves. They will all get scratched as soon as they go through even a single airport baggage system. It may be less obvious on the lighter colors. But the really light colors will show the black marks from luggage belts much more easily. Just remember that they are hard sided, so no outer pockets or fabric on front/back to get torn up easily like soft-sided luggage, and they have expansion zippers, which a lot of hard-sided luggage don't include. So just pick the color you like and try not to worry about it. And they do go on sale now and then. I was able to get the first set of 21/28 for under two hundred. I think they are kind of overpriced most of the time.

Great size, durable, expandable. Very good quality for the price point- and it will be well tested for sturdiness.
Like the expandable feature, as this is a hard cover case.
