Samsonite Centric 2 Hardside Expandable Luggage with Spinner Wheels, 2-Piece Set (20/28),Black

Love the color. Got a great deal. These have held up perfectly over the past year to many many trips, TSA, and baggage handlers who treat your items with the utmost care and respect (/sarcasm). Very light weight, so they aren't eating into that 40/50 lb airline weight limit before they steal more of your precious money. Love the simple 3 digit lock code, keeping everyone out of your personal items except TSA and those who can guess your combination of 1-2-3, your birthday, etc.

Light weight, wheels work well

Just got off a 7 day cruise to Alaska, and decided I needed a suitcase upgrade, as my old 2 wheel duffel would barely close on the contents, returning. The Samsonite arrived intact, big and beautiful, just as pictured. The wheels, locks, extendable handle and zippers all work smoothly, so am good to go. I've read the surface scratches, which is disappointing, but a hard case that doesn't simply does not exist, I think, as the reviews on all the other models noted they did, as well, so just have to live with it, I guess. As long as it remains in one piece, and contains the contents, with working wheels and zippers, I'll be satisfied. The lock system seems a little fragile, just being the zipper tips inserted into holes, with a latching bar running thru it. However, it's not a concern for me, as my duffel had no lock, and I never pack anything other than clothes, toiletries and a book or two, so not a prime target for potential thievery, I think. Overall, I really like it, at this point. I'm hopefully traveling to Kenya in February, and will return to edit this review when I return.

This is a good set of luggage. We actually returned this set and got a different size combo of the same set. That was our mistake - didn't notice we had clicked the larger checked bag size. If that is what you want, go for it. Personally, I think this size checked bag is too large to be practical. It would also be really easy to go over the weight limit. My daughter has taken the set (again, same line) on 4 flights and both pieces have held up well. Roll well and it's nice to have luggage that isn't black so it stands out a bit with this nice blue.

You know you have quality when you buy a Samsonite. I love traveling with this one because the color is amazing and it holds a lot. Perfect for international traveling. Can last a long time and all the beating it will get while traveling. Good buy overall.

Smooth Travel with a Durable, Stylish Luggage Set This Samsonite Centric 2 luggage set is the kind of travel gear that makes life easier from the moment you leave the house. The hardshell exterior has a clean, modern look and feels strong enough to take the bumps and scrapes of airport handling without looking beat up. After a few trips, mine still looks sharp, and the textured finish does a good job of hiding minor scuffs. The spinner wheels glide smoothly and really cut down on the strain of hauling bags through airports and hotel lobbies. The handles feel sturdy and extend easily without wobble. Both the carry-on and the larger checked bag are expandable, which has been a lifesaver when bringing back extra souvenirs or clothing. Inside, the layout is practical with zippered compartments and cross straps that help keep clothes in place. A couple of things to keep in mind: like most hardside luggage, these don’t have exterior pockets, so quick-grab items need to go in a backpack or tote. Also, while the set is lightweight for hardshells, if you really pack the larger case to the brim, it can get heavy fast. Bottom line: A reliable, good-looking set that balances durability, functionality, and smooth maneuverability—excellent for frequent travelers or anyone who wants luggage that holds up well over time.

Used this for many travel trips and works so perfectly for packing for a multiple days and room for the toiletries bag and shoes. We are buying this for our son because it’s a great deal

This is my first Samsonite luggage bag and my first hardside clam shell case. The design is elegant and the Emerald Green is a beautiful color. The expandable part is a great feature cause it does allow for a lot more luggage. The USB battery bank is a great idea and the case seems pretty resistant to scratches. The wheels seem to be an upgrade compare to other models of a similar price. The size is a little smaller then 22x14x9, it is more like 21x13x9 and expands up to 21x13x11 COMPARED TO SOFTSIDE: From the exterior is looks much smaller than a typical softside, but fits just as much. The clam shell design makes it more difficult to really pack this thing tight, you have to fill both sides separately and then fold it together. There is a possibility that there is a void between the two halves or it doesn't shut from over packing, but this is the case for all hard side luggage. Also when opened it just takes up a lot more floor space, especially if you in a small space The reason for a four star review is that there is some play on the telescopic handler like other reviewers have mentioned, I am going to try to see if I can modify it. Also the wheels are really fluid and nice, but I have a feeling they might not be that durable, if you squeeze the wheels together there is some give. There is also no TSA lock built-in like the previous model. As of now, I would recommend and I am buying a second one in navy. Only time will tell regarding durability. Will report back.

Muy buena, ligera y espaciosa

Great sets of luggage. It rolls nicely and the built in locks are great! The white does get dirty quicker but I knew that when I bought it.

Las maletas son de buena calidad y cumplen con la descripción del producto. Tienen separadores útiles para acomodar mejor el equipaje y separar objetos pequeños. El tamaño de la pequeña es bueno para llevarla en la cabina del avión. El material es resistente.

Great quality. Really spacious.

For the price and name of this luggage I would have hoped the wheels would have withstood their first plane ride. Dent in the top of the suitcase as well. One of the zipper pulls has also broken off. :( I have used my $50 hard cover no name suitcase for over 10 years with zero damages and I was hoping a Samsonite would have outlasted the cheap one I used to use.
