Do you want a massive piece of luggage that not only looks good, stands out well and will hold up to abuse while ALSO having a smooth use of wheels? This is for you. The price can tend to be high BUT if you catch the sale at the right time, you will get the most bang for your buck. This thing could hold a small European sized road vehicle inside of it if you wanted and it has very handy removable velcro compartments to sort things out along with a detachable see thru packet perfect for liquid items. It has so much versatility to it and the added sense of security with the lock and the heavy duty zippers have this give you a great ease of mind. While airport employees abuse luggage, this one seems to be handled well with how many points of handle contact there is to move this around. Even when fully loaded down, this is SO easy to manipulate. Standing it up on it's four wheels makes it move around with such ease that you forget it's luggage. HIGHLY recommended and very light when empty as is.

Overview: The Traveler's Choice Maxporter II 30" Hardside Spinner Trunk Luggage is a spacious, durable, and highly functional piece of checked luggage designed to meet the needs of frequent travelers, particularly those who require more packing space. With its large 30-inch size, expandable feature, hard side exterior, and smooth-spinner wheels, this trunk-style luggage offers the perfect blend of durability, security, and convenience for extended trips. Whether you're going on a long vacation, a family getaway, or moving between cities, the Maxporter II provides ample room and a stylish design to meet your travel demands.Packaging & Initial Impressions: The Maxporter II arrives well-packaged and securely wrapped in plastic to prevent any potential damage during shipping. The exterior of the luggage has a sleek, modern design, with a smooth gray finish that exudes sophistication and practicality. The hardshell design, made from durable polypropylene, is lightweight yet robust enough to withstand the bumps and rough handling typical of air travel.Upon opening, the interior reveals a well-organized and spacious compartment with built-in organizational features that suggest the luggage is designed for both functionality and ease of use.Material & Durability: The Traveler's Choice Maxporter II is made from a hardside polypropylene shell, a material known for its resilience and impact resistance. This ensures that your belongings are protected from potential damage caused by rough handling during transit, whether in the cargo hold of an airplane or while being loaded onto a bus. Polypropylene is also lighter than other traditional materials like ABS, offering a balance between strength and weight.While it’s not a hard-shell like aluminum or a more premium polycarbonate, the polypropylene still holds up well against scratches, dents, and general wear and tear. The gray color is practical for concealing scuffs and marks, making it easier to maintain the suitcase's sleek appearance over time.Size & Expandability: At 30 inches, the Maxporter II is on the larger side for checked luggage, making it ideal for travelers with extensive packing needs. Whether you’re packing for a long international trip or need extra space for bulky items, this trunk-style luggage offers an impressive capacity.The expandable feature adds even more versatility, allowing you to increase the interior space by a few inches, which is particularly useful if you find yourself needing additional room on your return trip (or if you tend to over-pack). The expansion is facilitated by a zipper mechanism that is easy to use and, in our tests, didn't cause any issues with sagging or zipper malfunction, a common problem with other expandable luggage.The large size does make this suitcase better suited for longer trips, family travel, or those who need to check in large quantities of clothing, gear, or equipment. It’s worth noting that the 30" size will exceed the standard carry-on restrictions, so this is strictly for checked luggage.Interior Organization: The interior of the Maxporter II is designed with organization in mind. The suitcase features a full-zip divider panel, which keeps items neatly separated and prevents them from shifting during travel. The interior also includes multiple mesh pockets for smaller items, like toiletries, cables, or accessories, helping you stay organized and avoid digging through a jumbled mess of clothing.A dual-strap system is included for securing your clothes, ensuring that they stay in place during travel. This is a thoughtful addition, particularly when using the expanded space, as it helps keep everything from shifting around and prevents wrinkling or damage to delicate items.While the organization is solid, some travelers may find the lack of additional compartments for smaller personal items (such as shoes or a toiletry bag) a slight drawback. However, given the trunk-style nature of the suitcase, this is a minor concern.Wheels & Maneuverability: One of the standout features of the Maxporter II is its 360-degree spinner wheels. The suitcase is equipped with four multi-directional wheels that rotate smoothly in any direction, allowing for effortless maneuverability. Whether you’re navigating through an airport, hotel lobby, or busy city street, these wheels allow the suitcase to glide seamlessly across various surfaces.The spinner wheels are sturdy and, in our testing, remained quiet and smooth even when the suitcase was fully packed. The 30" size and trunk-like shape do require a bit more effort when lifting or tilting the suitcase, but once it's on the ground, it moves with ease. The telescoping handle also adjusts to multiple heights, providing a comfortable grip for travelers of different heights.Security Features: Security is an important consideration when it comes to checked luggage, and the Maxporter II doesn’t disappoint. The suitcase is equipped with a built-in TSA-approved combination lock. This lock is designed to keep your belongings safe during transit while allowing TSA agents to inspect your bag without damaging it.The zippers are sturdy, and the lock mechanism is easy to set, providing an added layer of protection. Although not as robust as a metal lock system, the TSA lock on this luggage should suffice for most travel needs.

I'd like to say first of all that this thing can hold a ton. The square style design with the 70/30 open allows for you to pack an amazing amount of stuff. I bought this for (and took it on) a two week trip to Japan. It handled the entire trip phenomenally. It still looks to be in solid shape after two different airlines and two different Japanese local shipping companies each handled it twice.The handles on it make picking it up and moving it around great because it is a bit tall. In small Japanese hotel rooms in Tokyo it standing upright and taking up reduced floor space was amazing. I was easily able to fit a full set of clothing plus winter items (packable shell jacket, insulated hiking style boots, dress clothes in the upper zipper portion), and could easily blow passed airline weight limits with this thing.It also made adjusting for Christmas gifts I came home with easy and kept them nice and safe during transit.Overall I'm incredibly happy with this. It sits right at the cutoff for Delta/Shinkansen luggage size limits. It maneuvers well and in general I'm happy with all the features. Because it is tall if you pack heavier items in the top it can get a little top heavy, so make sure to go bulkier stuff on the bottom and you'll be set.
