Samsonite Flexis Softside Expandable Luggage with Spinner Wheels, Jet Black, Checked-Medium 25-Inch

Being a musician who must carry a large amount of music around -- with a bad back! -- I am always looking for a great bag to transport it more comfortably. It was a great boon when spinners were introduced, due to the increased ease of mobility. This is one of the best of these I have come across. Its lighter weight is a treat, and the transport system is first rate. The bag travels straight-forward and never veers off to the side. Small, but still manages to hold a lot. Definitely a good weekender. Good value, especially on sale.

I love this suitcase! I brought for a trip to Europe where I decided that I wanted to pack a carry-on only and save on the luggage fees and have the convenience of not having to check a bag. Some of the European airlines have even smaller carry-on size limits and after research, I found this carry-on would work perfectly for all my flights and it did. It is light-weight and easy to manage with the 4 wheels.The only small complaints I have or changes I would make are these: There is no inside water-proof pouch that I have had in other suitcases. And although the telescoping handle seems strong and durable, I do not like that there are 2 buttons to extend and contract the handle, because it seemed I was alway accidentally hitting one and causing the handle to collapse when I was pulling the suitcase along.

Like other reviewers, I wish the computer sleeve was removable. I cut it out since I didn't take a computer on this trip. I will use the sleeve in the future though. I love this carry on! It holds a lot of stuff. Our flight one way was 48 hours, so I was able to pack a change of clothes, slippers, all my medication and a snack. Love that it has a charger for my cell phone, since not all airplanes have chargers. The wheels are really smooth, no tugging or dragging this piece. It is very light weight, and it really does fit under the seat of a plane (although I prefer putting it in the overhead if possible) If I could change 1 thing, it would be that the main compartment open al the way & stay open on it's own. Currently, I have to hold it open while I pack. I spent 4 hours researching before I bought this,and I feel I made the right choice, no regrets.

Appreciate the under-seat size of this bag and was able to fit many items including laptop in it despite the compact size. However, with a newer plane I could barely get it past the seats to under the seat. Size was perfect with older planes that had a bit more leg room. Appreciate the recycled fabric, but it collects dust and hair like a magnet. Might want to carry a small lint roller in the pocket. All in all a great addition to baggage to have on hand for those time you don't want to check a bag. It will for sure be accepted as a carry-on due to its size and compact nature.

Absolutely terrible! I bought this in January and used it 5-6 times. I travel for business but after March 12 business travel stopped. On my first trip in October I grabbed it to pack and the handle broke. I guess past the time to return it but the suitcase wasn't touched for 7 months. I would like to hear from the manufacturer or seller in order to get some resolve on this. DO NOT PURCHASE!!!

This bag has flown 5 times now and seems to be holding up well. It doesn't seem to show the dirt accumulated from the baggage compartment as many of my previous bags. The common point of failure with spinners is generally the wheels and bearings. Over time they will stop spinning correctly making the bag hard to handle / steer. I have always thought this happens because the baggage handlers will drop a heavy bag on the wheels compressing the bearings or breaking the wheels. Only time will tell if this one stands up to the abuse.

We love this suitcase. We purchased 2 of these and both of us love it. We packed everything we needed for a 5 day trip...yes, I had to skimp on taking all the shoes I wanted but really it worked well for us and we didn't have to pay for our luggage to fly. It rolls really easily and if you pack it right you can fit a ton of stuff in it.

Bought this because the airline I was going to travel on had pretty stiff restrictions. Surprisingly this fit a lot of stuff and was fine on the airline. One little issue avoiding the release button on the handle but not a deal breaker. Loved it!

This is my second purchase of this underseat spinner. I bought the first one and used it multiple times in my many oversea trips. Prior to that, I carried a backpack, and as my age advanced.... I found carrying a backpack is a pain in the ...back. My backpack gave me a backpain every trips. So I switched to this 4-wheeler underseater; and boy, what a difference it made...Since then, I have never carried a backpack again and it spares me from backpain which is critical at my age. This 4 wheel underseater is so easy to handle with very little effort, I can carry more stuff than my backpack, and without the pain. I can pack all my medicine, laptop, ipad, blanket, nest rest, jacket, and other stuff for a 3 days use, all in this versatile underseat 4-wheeler. I especially like the horizontal luggage strap on the rear, where I can simply slip it over the other check in larger suitcase, and I can wheel both this underseat 4 wheeler and the check in big suitcase in one unit.... so much convenient and easy. Now my wife, seeing how easy and convenient it is, have me buy her the same, which I did; and we both enjoy this compact size, easy mobility, easy to handle underseat 4-wheeler luggage. Googbye backpack !! Love it..
