Customer Reviews Rimowa Salsa Air - Ultralight Cabin Multiwheel®

Love this suitcase! I bought the large one as well as the carry on size. It holds a ton and adds nothing to the weight so you can bring everything you need. The wheels move easily in any direction. I could run through the airport with two bags, holding them upright at either side. My only complaint was there weren't more compartments, there are two large sides, but not sure how I would do differently.

I love this suitcase- it is gorgeous and really stands out. Very lightweight and easy to maneuver. I agree with some reviews that it appears a little flimsy, but that is the tradeoff for a featherweight bag. I checked the bag on an international flight and it held up well. It did get a little dirty, but that was expected- mostly wiped off. Note, it only has a top handle. I had no problem lifting it on and off trains and placing on overhead bins. Great for older or smaller people! I had enough space for one week of clothing, but I travel light. I also used clothing cubes which helped keep things organized. If you travel with a lot of stuff, buy a bigger bag.

This is the first carry-on that I can easily lift into the overhead compartment. The suitcase holds more than you would think and the zippered covers on each side keep your clothes in place. I initially thought there wasn't much to the material the case is made of. Plastic? Then my grandson rode around on it (the four wheels let you move it with ease) and sent it flying down a set of stairs without a mark on it! Works for my life!

Very nice carryon. The lightness is amazing and helpful during those times when you have to pick it up over a curb or up stairs. I tried several popular brands before keeping this one. Big, balanced wheels roll smoothly despite a narrower base and single pole pull handle (Tumi Vapor Int'l did not feel well balanced and like it would tip forward and was not as maneuverable with its smaller wheels on a case pushed by a long pole - their larger cases don't feel like that). I didn't mind that there was only 1 pull handle since the case was small enough that I could grab it on both sides if needed - why not just plan ahead and place it facing out anyway. The lightness of the case was wonderful. This was replacing a very slightly oversized Samsonite that was perfect in all carryon-ways (and oversized definitely compared to the new specific depth dimensions for United). While this case says it is 9.5" deep which is half an inch too deep, it did not appear nor measure by hand as much over 9 inches. Stuffed it could come closer to 9.5+ but I was not worried about being stopped. One one of four flights, they tried to check all rollers but they let me try mine - it fit in sideways due to the small overhead bins. It fits a lot inside due to the single pole (the Torq didn't feel as roomy). I'm very happy with this size, model, color (purple), weight, function. It got a few marks on it that come off or do not detract from it. I'm concerned about the larger cases in the line being damaged during checked handling due to the thinness of the plastic - but the positive experience with this carry-on is almost enough for me to give it a try with a larger Rimowa Salsa Air.

My husband gave me this as a gift. It met the carry-on rules for Lufthansa, which is very strict about size and weight. It's wonderfully light weight which makes it easier to put in the overhead bins. I'm a big believer in traveling with carry-on only and this makes it possible on more airlines. I love the violet color. The only down side is that with only one rod, a bag perched on top can slide more than with two rods for the handle. But I love mine because a lighter weight bag means I can either pack more or travel light as I choose.

This is the best carry-on case ever! Great quality materials, light but very sturdy. The wheels rotate 360 so it's absolutely effortless to wheel it around any way you want.

Best carry on suitcase ever! It's so lightweight and holds a lot. I took it on a 3 day weekend trip. I ended up packing more than I needed and was able to pack additional clothing I had purchased from my trip. I love the inside zippers so nothing will fall out. And I love how I could just roll it next to me while walking through the airport. Since it was so lightweight, it was very easy for me to lift and put in the overhead bin by myself (I'm only 5'2). This is pricier than other carry ons. However, it's definitely worth the investment if you plan on traveling frequently and want a lightweight carry on suitcase. I plan on using this when I travel out of the country for 2 weeks. Thanks Zappos!

Yes, Rimowa is expensive (but still less expensive than other luxury brands). Yes, you can't stuff in every single stitch of clothing you own into this bag. But...yes, it's easily the lightest, most beautifully made piece of luggage you'll ever own. Take my word for it -- I used soft-sided bags for a long time, but Rimowa positively blows the competition away. I'm talkin' especially to those of us over 40 years old -- you wanna drag a heavy bag around on a long vacation? Take my advice -- this is a wonderful gift to yourself.

Zappos service is excellent. The first suitcase arrived damaged, and they replaced it overnight with apologies and a credit for my next order. That being said, this suitcase is beautiful. The first one was not a manufacturing defect, but damage. This small suitcase is perfectly sized for international carry-on and holds much more than it looks like it will hold because of the excellent well thought out design. The handle is a bit thin (I thought it would be flimsy but it is not) but easily maneuvers the suitcase over smooth and somewhat bumpy terrain. The suitcase is shiny and beautiful and to my surprise it hasn't gotten scratched up. I think that the ribbed texture protects is from scratches, as only the highest points on the ribs get a bit scuffed. I recommend it. Wheels are very sturdy.

You can't imagine how many suitcases I buy, looking for something lightweight and small with four wheels. This one seems to be a keeper. It's the lightest suitcase like this and holds a goodly amount. You can put stuff right in the middle, too. And it comes along besides you just like a little puppy. I love it

This is a beautiful suitcase, and I can only echo all the good things others have already said about it. The rolling is smooth and comfortable, it's incredibly light and easy to lift (especially important for a petite frequent traveler), fits into all the overhead cabins so easily, and holds quite a bit more than I had anticipated. The Ultraviolet color is great. I had a warranty issue with my first one, and Zappos resolved it so swiftly and professionally that I'm once again just delighted that I chose Zappos when I was shopping around.
