TravelproMaxlite 5 Softside Expandable Carry-On Luggage with Spinner Wheels, Lightweight, 21-Inch — Black

This carry-on suitcase is light weight, has a lock feature that is easy to use, and rolls very well over various types of ground. The size is great with a front zipper pouch that holds a laptop (instead of me using a separate computer bag). Travel-pro brand is known for its durability and so far it has held up very well! A brand we would buy again.

This was purchased for an overseas vaca. Have not yet used but appears to be strong, roomy and durable. It is an easy-glide with the spinner wheels and light weight. Since I have not packed yet it remains to be seen if it will be heavy when lifted, as I like to lift my luggage to rest on top of the counters in the room we are in.

For those that are not aware, the size limitations for carry-on luggage, for non-US carrier carriers, within the EU are different than in the US. The size of the carry-on is much smaller and the regional EU airlines regularly enforce the size and weight limits. This bag is the only high-quality, light-weight, carry-on that meets the EU requirements. The bag rolls smoothly, has a strong handle and the wheels did not break as they rolled over the cobblestone streets in Italy. The light weight allows you to pack more into the bag without going over the 17lb limit that most carriers require. I was able to fit 2 week's worth of clothing for a trip.

Excellent travel roller bag! Perfect size and weight that made our two weeks in Thailand in 2024 a breeze. Highly recommended.

This is replacing a hard side bag. Didn’t like the hard side. Haven’t used this yet but it feels lightweight. Has outside pockets which, of course the hard side does not have. the expandable part seems larger at one end due to slant of bag I guess. I haven’t used this yet, but it moves easily, seems sturdy and looks like it will have a good amount of room to pack, especially with the expandable part. it has lots of inner and outer pockets for organization. The zippers seem sturdy. Seems much smaller than the 21 inch Kensington, London fog bag. That was my favorite but the wheels were apparently damaged by the airline and now they don’t make it anymore. I am giving away the 21 in hard side bag I bought and took one trip with. I really don’t like hard side bags. I never had one before but I miss the outside pockets and the give that a soft side bag has. I haven’t used this yet, but I’m hoping it will last as long as my old Kensington London fog bag.! That lasted seven years before the airlines wrecked the wheels. The London fog bag was plaid. This bag is blue – very attractive. Plus, I found that the wheelchair people at the airport who kindly helped me get my bag at baggage claim did not understand what plaid was. So I’m going to take a picture of my bag so they will know what it looks like. Although a solid blue is easier to identify for those not familiar with patterns, and non-English speakers. Happy trails!

Goodbye Samsonite, hello Travelpro. Bought a mid-sized carry-on for just under $200 from Samsonite and the thing felt flimsy and could not even spin. I’ve been a Samsonite customer forever. A Reddit thread led me to Travelpro, bought this, could not be happier. Just came back from a 2-week trip to Japan and it looks like new, despite journeys literally in trains, planes, and automobiles. Spins great, handles great. Smaller than my Samsonite mid sized carry-on but still fits a lot. Telescoping handle stops at different points successfully; handle is covered in the suitcase’s fabric so is comfortable. The case is super light. Happy to have found a new luggage brand.

I just got this suitcase - the 19 in max lite 5, and it’s packed for an upcoming trip. It’s very lightweight and rolls smoothly on its 4 wheels.I looked for info on how to change the 3-digit numeric lock on the side, and found NO info on how to do so within the Q&A here or within any enclosed documents. I googled it and found the answer.For those of you who have this suitcase with the locking mechanism on the right side of the bag (when the front of the suitcase is facing you), it should have arrived with the 2 zipper lock-loops placed into the locking mechanism and the bag thereby locked - that’s how mine came. I noticed the 3 digits all said 0-0-0 but I couldn’t pull out the 2 zipper lock loops. What you have to do is (while the numbers are still set to 0-0-0), push up on the black raised lever below the numbered combo - it’s the part that says TSA007 and has the silver circular key lock for tsa to use in the center.When you push up on the black lever piece, the 2 lock-loops for the 2nzipper pieces should pop out.To change the combo from 0-0-0:While the lock-loops are out and the combo is at 0-0-0, use a small pointy device (I used the tip of a ball point pen) to press in the small button directly ABOVE the top 0 of the 0-0-0. The tiny button will stay pressed in when you remove your pen. Say you want to set it to 9-8-7. Decide whether you want the 1st digit 9 at the bottom (closest to the tsa circular lock) or at the top (closest to the reset button).Set each of the 3 numbers to the new code, with the numbers centered directly below the reset button.(Maybe take a picture of your new code at this point!)Now push up on the black tsa lock lever below your combo number - the reset button should pop out and your new number has been set. Try changing one of the numbers slightly, and then push the tsa lever - it shouldn’t move because you don’t have the right code. Now change the number back so you have your new code centered.The black tsa lever should slide up right up to the bottom of the lowest number in the combo - your lock is open.Now try putting the 2 zippered lock loops into their slots of the lock.They will go in regardless of whether you have the correct combo code showing or a different code.If you have a different code showing, you’ll have to move the dial to the correct code before the black TSA lever will slide up…Sometimes I noticed that even when I have the correct code showing and push up the lever, the 2 zippered lock loops don’t automatically pop out. Sometimes they do…If they don’t, while you have the black TSA lever pushed up (holding it up with your thumb), reach over with your other fingers and gently lift the ends of the zipper lock-loops up and they’ll release.I hope this helps those who have the side locks present on their suitcase who, like me, were wondering how to change the combo code!Note: the process should be the same for those having 4 numbers on their suitcase lock…

The case arrived promptly, in excellent shape, and was as described. The bag is well made, comfortable handles and good interior straps. The bag also lives up to be a roller - it rolls almost to easily - especially if it’s not on a flat surface or you bump it. But easy rolling can be very useful going thru an airport. The red is subtle and distinctive, and the bag is a good value - good quality at at a good price.
