Customer Reviews Samsonite Solyte 20" Spinner

Very helpful

I wanted something like this

On the small side. Lightweight. Selected this bag only because it met the size specs for Delta and Air-France airlines. Nice color, fabric, quality. Seams and zippers neatly done. No extra stuff in main compartment -- just nice open space. One of the side pockets is setup like a wallet to hold credit cards and such -- not useful to me so that was wasted space. Only used once so cannot comment on how this will hold up over time. What I did not like was having the handle on the long side. This means it's too wide to wheel this down a airplane aisle. Would also like it better if it had four spinner wheels instead of just two.

Does not fit under seat on airplanes.

A great light weight piece. Great color and style. I think it might be a bit large to fit be able to fit under the seat in front, of some airlines seats.

My first Samsonite luggage. I am confident of its toughness especially with my frequent international travel. Also pleased with worldwide limited warranty... I am glad that wheels are not bulky.

Finally a size that can actually be carried on the plane and has plenty of room. I wish the blue would match the blue of Samsonite's previous luggage.

Overall, this is a high quality suitcase and would recommend it for the casual traveler. That being said, I am a bit disappointed with the product. I had been using an older 20" samsonite suitcase for years, which never had any problems fitting in the airline overhead. My girlfriend uses one of the new 21" samsonite suitcases has no problems fitting overhead as well. However, for this suitcase, I've taken 3 business trips and have had some significant issues fitting it in the overhead, especially on the smaller Embrair jets. Even on the larger 737s, it is a very snug fit and can be hassle getting in. I travel very frequently, so likely we need to switch to a different model. It sounds odd, but you are better going with the 21" models, which bizarrely fit better

I loved this suitcase. It did tear just slightly, very small, but what can you expect with the way they handle luggage! It was easy to manuever through the airport and did the job for our 7 day trip to Hawaii. 4 flights later, I'll be using it again in 3 months for another week long trip

I love this bag, and it would be perfect, except for the size when it's expanded. I was flying back to the States from London, when, as I was checking in my large bag, the British Airlines employee took one look at my carry on and made me check it, too.

It would have been better to shop in person and see the size, unfortunately the luggage I picked was too big for my purposes. I had to return and it was extremely expensive so I will never be ordering from you again.

Very surprised and displeased to learn that my new bag did not pass carry-on size at the gate for my American Airlines flight today. It was 1" too wide, despite being 2" shorter and 1" shallower than allowed. It had to be regularly checked at gate and picked up at baggage claim. I am extremely unhappy. BEWARE

I bought this item as a carry on, but it did not have swivel wheels. I have not used it yet, but to return the product would cost me $30 since Samsonite did not include a return shipping label.

I purchased SoLyte 29" Spinner Purple Magic 4 months ago. I have used it twice. The pull handle will not extend. This is a big disappointment. The nearest Samsonite authorized repair center is 2 hours away.

ugly. your company is unbelievable and will not stay in business very long. terrible satisfaction policy.

Problem with size. Much bigger than size quoted. Overall size is bigger than body size so even though supposidly good for international carry on with major airlines it is too big. Wasted money for me , even though I really like the suitcase.

I recently purchased the SoLyte 25" Spinner for a vacation. In the past, I have always bought Samsonite luggage because I like the quality. However, I had a hard time with this particular piece. The wheels couldn't smoothly move this size luggage. This wheels were too small. I often felt like the luggage wanted to tip forward and would stray. I had to grip very hard to stir it, my forearm hurting. I am very disappointed in the way this particular piece handles. I feel in needs better and bigger spinner for better performance.
