Customers like the size of the suitcase. They say it fits nicely in the overhead bin and under the seat. It's small enough to not look intimidating, and can hold quite a bit. It is not too heavy and the handle is very easy to use. It can easily slide into the second row of the car and can easily open. Its perfect for an overnight trip and is pretty much the best and handiest piece of luggage that they have ever purchased.

Customers are mixed about the handle length of the suitcase. Some mention that it's long enough for them to roll it without any issues, while others say that it was too short.

You won't fit a water bottle in either of the side pockets as indicated unless you leave them unzipped as they are pretty flat, but they work perfectly for your travel documents. A large cell phone would fit but I like my phone in the front so I can keep the bag turned toward me when I'm sitting in the airport, that way I know no one will steal my phone. I guess the same could be said of the travel documents but at least they have to have your ID so whatever you think of that mess.
The 3-1-1 bag that is included is useless for the purpose in my opinion because of the zipper. It's not on the top, it's on the side of the bag and does not go the entire width of the bag making packing it with bottles very difficult. It's a cute little vinyl bag but not for it's stated purpose. If they would change the zipper to the top and make it go the full width of the bag it would be a great addition.
Since the two bags I am referencing are the same size, this one actually being very slightly smaller since it is not molded in front, I can tell you it fits under the seat on a small Delta regional plane very easily. I would have easily had room to put my large purse next to it in a first class seat, but I didn't have it with me. I'm confident it would have fit fine in the main cabin as well. Part of the flight had the box for the video system under the seat so space was limited, but I was still was able to put the bag under the seat in front of me. I think it stuck out just a bit since I wanted it going in the long way so I could access my things, but it was allowable. I am small and short so I didn't mind the intrusion into my foot space, for someone tall it might be a concern, but Delta will absolutely allow it.
Interestingly, when I reordered the bag I ordered two and one had very nice vinyl, it was soft and flexible, the other had some very stiff type vinyl I felt would crack easily. I'm not sure why there was such a difference, but I exchanged it.
As for packing, I am one to hates to gate check and want my bag under the seat in front of me so I can access my things during the flight. I'm also terrified the airline will lose my luggage so I want as much in my carryon as possible. I was traveling to the Caribbean for a week when I was trialing this bag. Though I chose the other bag I had packed this one at home before returning it, so I can say I got more in it. I love organizing and things that help me organize, but I was worried all the small pockets would actually be detrimental. It's why I say I was unsure about this bag, I thought something with fewer pockets would actually be better. The pockets are nice for organizing your small things you might want to access in the airport or on the plane without having to unpack half your stuff.
As for size, it is a carryon, it's not a small suitcase. I have a Samsonite small suitcase and this is markedly smaller. For the minimalist or the savvy packer you might make this do as your suitcase, but for most of us this is a carryon. It's called an underseater because it is. If you are wondering about the size or how much you could get in the bag picture something that will fit in the space under the seat in front of you. It's smaller than a child suitcase. I have a soft side carry on, the type with no wheels that came with an old set of luggage and was called a carry on, and though the shape is different if you put them next to each other they are basically the same size and capacity is the same if that helps you.
As far as people saying the handle is flimsy, I've looked at easily a dozen bags in this category and they are all about the same. I looked at a couple that were significantly more expensive and they felt slightly more sturdy, but not enough so to make me spend the money. The handle on my large suitcase wiggles a little and sometimes requires a little jiggle to get it to go down. If you treat it with some respect and don't pack it with bricks and try to haul it over the open road I think it will hold up nicely. The wheels are the standard suitcase type wheels which should hold up fine indoors. I have read a few reviews of people using this for school and other uses that would seem to involve more weight and outdoor time and I'm not sure how long the bag would hold up under those conditions. It was designed to be used primarily for lightweight packing and wheeled indoors for the most part so use outside that will skew reviews, just saying. My rationale is if a checked bag is to be less than 50lbs the manufacturer probably thought this thing would carry 10-15lbs? And used mostly in the airport not outside? I'm sure some people can get a lot more in it and it works for a lot of other things, but might not hold up as well so no complaining.
It's not a spinner, it has only two wheels, but I still find it to move easily. The zippers have worked fine on all four of the ones I've purchased. The first one I ordered was the pink and it is really a bright pink, deep not a light color, but bright. I liked it, but the others I ordered were black just because TSA has a knack for tearing up your checked bag so I'll have to replace that now and then so black will match whatever I buy and they are standard black luggage color.
I love the way it forces you to pack things vertically, as the entire front of the bag zips down and you pack in one stack of "rectangle" folds. I packed:
- 5 pairs underwear
- 5 undershirts
- 3 dress shirts
- 3 tshirts
- 2 pairs shorts
- 1 pair sneakers
- 1 pair pants
- 1 rolled rain jacket
The absolute best feature of this thing though is the fact that on the inside of the front flap, there is a detachable, 3-compartment toiletry bag. I fit everything my wife and I needed (travel-sized, granted) in this bag and could easily snap it off and back on again as we went through TSA security.
As for its mobility, I don't think it could really be better, unless you're the type who prefers a spinner (wheeled bag with four wheels). If that's your preference, that's neat, but I'd prefer to remain in the group of people who prize forward momentum over the ability to kind of move in a direction while their lazy, 4-wheeled bag kind of follows next to them. At some point, I wonder if spinner users are wheeling their bags, or if their bags are wheeling them.
The bag fit easily into overhead compartments on my Southwest flight, and I'm almost sure it could fit under the seat, but did not test this, as I had another bag to go under there (I like to carry a man purse for tablets, plane tix, gum, souvenirs for return trip, etc.). It is just the right size to actually go into the overhead straight on instead of sideways, so when you get up to in the mad rush to exit the plane, it makes your escape that much quicker. It also is the perfect width to be rolled in front of you down the aisle.
The only drawback is once this bag is filled, it is hard to fit very much into the front pockets, although I really didn't have much of a use for them anyway, and there are pockets in the back of the bag, but I'm unsure of how or when to use these because they become inaccessible one you fill the bag up. Once again, no real complaint there because I didn't need them, but I'm sure you could cram some stuff in. The side pockets on the left and right of the bag are pretty genius, though, as they're purposely meant for long, flat objects like papers, documents, etc. or even flatly folded clothes.
The bag seems well constructed and although I've only taken it on one trip, it suffered no real damage. Wheels seem sturdy. I worry less about durability for this bag since I'll never check it.

You might have to practice packing a few times to maximize the available dimensions but once you figure out your optimal usage, you should be very satisfied. So far, the build quality has held up extremely well as expected when buying a Samsonite product..
Genial!!
