Traveler's ChoiceArcher Polycarbonate Hardside Spinner Luggage Set, Tie Down Straps, Purple, Checked 29-Inch

Perfect size, travels well. Would be great if not for the nonfunctional zipper in the inside. It didn't work from the day i bought it. Working on a warranty claim now. UPDATE, file a claim as directed by the company. Received an email notification that they had 30 days to respond. Never heard another word. It's well after 30 days and i have reached out multiple times. 4/8/23 UPDATE: They finally contacted me and are replacing my suitcase under their warranty. New one arrives today. 4/10/23 UPDATE: New suitcase has a zipper that works perfectly. I even tested it by stuffing it with jackets and the zip worked as it should. I have returned to my 5 star rating.

I bought this set about 5 months ago but didn’t want to review until it went through checking bags on a few flights. I’m delighted to report they stood up fantastically. I only checked the large one and the small one was suitable as a carry on for both Southwest and JetBlue, which was super helpful. The small one is also surprisingly roomy and I fit a LOT in it, using one of the small pockets for my liquid bag.The hard shell stood up nicely and the integrated TSA lock worked perfectly. I’m very pleased with this purchase and would buy again, but they stood up so well I don’t need to!Small note the little part on the carry one where you can charge your phone is a little gimmicky since you’d need your own portable charging battery and I’d rather use a MagSafe functioning one to charge my phone, or one with a short cord so I could keep my phone in my pocket. It’s a pretty useless feature, as it would be in any brand.I liked how high the carry on handle pulls so I never had to bend over when walking through the airport. The large one doesn’t go out super far, but since the case is large it is effectively the same height.The sizing is great. I was able to put the small on top of the large and secure with a simple luggage strap (that I would have with me anyway to identify my bags at claim) to move around with both together and another few bags for my family as well between the curb and the bag check.I didn’t check the small one but I feel confident it would hold up as well as the larger one.The value is incredible. I spent literally months looking for a set with a large enough checked bag to hold what I needed and a small one large enough to hold the rest that still fit within the most stringent airlines carryon policies.

We purchased this large piece of luggage to replace a piece that we thought was cracked and broken. Turns out it was not and we no longer needed the new lavender replacement It was quite pretty.

This was the first set of nicer luggage I have ever bought. Prior to this I was rocking an old fabric 2 wheel checked and borrowing my wife's cheap carry on from TJ Maxxx. I was skeptical that these would be better than the cheaper sets you could find at Kohl's or even Amazon, especially since you can get a 3 piece set at the same price. However after doing extensive research, I realized this brand was highly rated and found this model had the best mix of features I was looking for. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of this set for the price.The construction seems durable and the shells are sturdy yet light weight. The set looks very handsome in green! I was very happy with the color and the look of the luggage. I ordered the 2 piece set, which came with the smaller carry on and the larger 29 inch spinner. I appreciated the organizational system in both pieces.Both of them have a nice antimicrobial lining. The carry on has two smaller mesh pouches sitting on top of cross straps on one side while the other side is completely zippered off. The zippered off side has a larger mesh pocket and bulky pocket build into the divider (see pictures). There is a long thin pocket that spans the inside hinge of the carry on for long thin items or small items like socks.The checked luggage is huge and has a completely zippered compartment on one side while the other side has compression straps with a huge removable divider with built in mesh pocket that can come out. This divider was so useful and I managed to stuff a 2 piece suit and 2 dress shirts, all on hangers into the mesh pocket of the divider. The larger luggage also has a longer thin pocket spanning the hinge.The luggage is highly maneuverable, the wheels are really innovative. I went into department stores to check out other brands before I made my purchase and the wheels on this Traveler's Chooce were way better than thr single wheel spinners and even better than my wife's Samsonitr double wheel spinners. I was literally twirling thr carry on all the way through the airports in my 20 hour journey from Boston to Malaysia. I could walk, give the spinner a little push and let go to adjust my backpack or check my watch and then grab it again without having to stop walking.The extendable handles were surprisingly sturdy, there were a few times during my journey when I actually used them to lift the entire luggage when encountering a step or getting on or off an escalator and they held up to that abuse so far. I even did that with the checked by accident after getting out of my Uber at the airport and was shocked that the handle didn't break off from thr weight of my packed checked bag, ahich was around 40 lbs.The built in TSA locks work really well and all the zippers are very high quality. No snags and they slide smoothly. I have not gotten a chance to try the expanding feature on either piece but I do not forsee any issues. I tried out the USB charging and it was very convenient although my 20,000 mAh power bank was a tight fit in thenpocket so you might want to use a smaller power bank.My only complaint is that the shell on these cases scratches incredibly easily. Time will tell if this makes any difference to the durability but there were already scratches on the luggage when I unboxed it from thr package. Even when I placed it on a clean bed to examine the new set, it got scratches. Seriously, if I just stare at the luggage hard enough it scratches. I regret not buying one of those socks that fit over the luggage as both pieces are extremely scuffed/scratched after two flights. I know it's luggage and it's meant to get scuffed and used and every scratch is a record of an adventure but I didn't expect it to look so worn just a few days after using them. It's a shame cause they look so good when I unboxed them. 🤷‍♂️Oh another related complaint is that there are no rubber feet on the suitcase opposite of the side handle. This combined with thr easy scratchability is going to lead to that side getting excess wear since you are required to put checked luggage on its side when you go to check your luggage.Hope this review is helpful to those looking. If they add rubber feet and make the luggage less scratchable, this would be a home run.Will update this review in the future after a few more trips for long term durability. Cheers, and safe travels!!

These have been such great bags! Four trips, minor scuffing, no wobbly wheels. The handle is perfect and even has an ergonomic rubber grip for those long treks through the airport or along the sidewalk waiting for a ride. The handles that surround the bag are sturdy and easy to find. This bag is lightweight so it’s easy to pack without going over the weight limit on a 10-day wedding trip. The zippers are nice and smooth and there is just enough rigidity in the exterior material on this bag. Buy it, save the money and be happy with this bag.

I purchased this bag in August 2023 for an over-seas trip. That trip (September) the zipper top fell off. Ok, no problem customer service sent me a new set. Trip #2 last month, the inner lining ripped/detached at the seam of the flap/divider. Sent in pictures, no response so far. Now, trip #3, the outer zipper is detaching from the hard shell body 🤦🏼‍♀️. I’ve never checked this bag, so has only been handled by me. I’m not an over-packer and have had suitcases (different brand) lasting decades! Not sure if these are manufacturing issues or just overall poor quality.

Just use this for the first time and took it on a cruise. Our luggage was such a breeze to push through the terminal other peoples luggage was falling over and needed to be lugged. Good quality will buy more.
