Customer Reviews Travelpro Maxlite® 5 - 22" Expandable Carry-On Rollaboard

I am now a retired flight attendant after 30 yrs. I will never own anything but a travel pro. The most accommodating, structurally sound suitcase I've ever and will ever own. Take it from a crew member, almost every crewmember owns a travel pro.

It's the best work overseas quite a bit and this suitcase does the job. Lite and durable and stylish all requirements I need.

The perfect suitcase for travel ?? Just about, but only for carry on and short term trips. If your traveling for more than 4-5 days , up grade to the next larger size and check in the bag. It does expand, but only about an inch. Over all a very well made product.

Very easy to pack and rolls easily in the parking lot.

Perfect for road warriors! I travel 40 weeks in a year and this is great luggage for value.

Haven't used it yet (soon!) but it is really well made and LIGHT, LIGHT, LIGHT compared to my older carry-on in a similar style. I opted for the Rollaboard rather than the spinner because the spinner wheels take up more room and that unit seemed a bit heavier overall. I would definitely invest in a spinner model for larger luggage pieces however. I can pick this thing up with one hand and hold it easily. So far, I REALLY REALLY love it.

Very nice product, easy to use, extremely light weight!!

My old carry-on (competitor) was discontinued and this weighs a pound less, which is great for airlines with a carry-on weight limit. I just used this for a month trip (15 hotels, lots of bag handling) and I had no problems. I am very happy with this purchase!

I've only used this bag a couple of times but it does everything I expect it to. I chose the bag based on web reviews. I ordered the bag and once it came in my wife decided she wanted one since it was half the weight of her own (another brand). I am a pretty efficient packer and I can get 4-7 days of clothes in this bag depending on the weather. Material and zippers are both good quality. Definitely recommend.

Perfect size for 2-4 day business travel. So lightweight and easy on my back with convenient pockets for "accessible" items needed during transport. Excellent quality, purpose built, well thought out. I've added a cup-stand on top for a coffee just before or in-between flights.

light easy to open and close as well as cary. flits soooo much in a compact space!

This suitcase is perfect to travel with because it is so light and easy to handle. It holds all my items perfectly and is the best carry on.

Excellent bag...design was so well thought out, with zip pouches to store things on the top and sides. Zip extender is helpful. Exterior is easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth. Wheels roll easily and firmly. Handles are firm and reliable. Best bag I've owned, including previous Travel-Pro bags.

Bought this suitcase to go to Europe for 2 weeks, but it also went on a weekend trip with me from Pittsburgh to Cleveland. Survived beautifully and held all that I wanted to hold. Checked it from Dulles to Vienna and back. Great bag. Love the blue color that stands out from the sea of black bags.

This 22 inch on 2 wheels is perfect to pack for a 10 trip. I had all my essentials packed into the suitcase without difficulty. Great carry-on or check-in piece. The State Green color is very nice too. Well made corners and zippers and handles. Wheeled very well through airports. I love it. In fact, I bought the smaller size, the 22 inch and the 26 inch Maxlite 5. Light weight. TravelPro offers excellent suitcases that last.

At first glance, my initial reaction was that there no way that my brand-new, 17" laptop would fit in the Max-Lite 5 22" Expandable Carry-On Rollaboard. I WAS WRONG!!! The 17" laptop fit perfectly in the cushioned case purchased with the laptop. Compared to the Max-lite 4, the lite- 5 was lighter. The Lite-5 had a well-designed interior. Exterior zippered compartments were deep and were wide enough to accommodate a pair of running sneakers. The Lite-5 passed the bin test for the carry-on size. The construction, zippers and hardware were superb. While the Lite-4 has 4 spinner wheels, the Lite-5 has 2 wheels. I personally prefer the spinner wheels but can understand that there are compromises when saving weight.

Thus case compliments my other travel pro luggage . I enjoy the unique lining and as all other travel pro luggage this does well as checked baggage. Well built .

Being in my 70s, this is the lightest bag I've ever used. It continues Travelpro's commitment to highest quality. That fact that it also expandable makes this rollaboard the best of the best.

We had to transfer 5 times and we had no trouble carry on with any airlines. The suitcase is light and the wheels make it a breeze to roll. Make travel plans, pack and have an adventure!

This suitcase is the one I've been looking for in terms of lightness, ability to expand and holds a perfect week of clothing. I would highly recommend this to anyone to needs to avoid checking their bag!

Perfectly balanced, expandable, lightweight. Gludes through terminals and on rough tarmacs (I am a flight attendant for a private corporation). Love the bottom and side handles! Check with me in a year to see how it holds up to 14 work days a month! Your older models were way too heavy to be manageable.

My bag is packed for a 4 day trip and is still lightweight and easy to get around. As a flight attendant, a good carry-on sized suitcase is very important and this is probably one of the best ones I've had.

One big negative: the handle is shaped allegedly ergonomically nicely, but I can't get it into my personal item's strap. Also, the latter's strap is too smallnice and sleek aesthetically but useless when you need it. Otherwise, it is spectacular. No problem at all packing what you need in a carryon, but with the expansion and pockets, I am now using it as a checked bag on short hops when I don't use a large suitcase. And it's light! Highest ratings on everything except that handle. I've a good mind to take a hacksaw to it.

Love the bag and all the room but struggling with the two wheels! I read the difference between have two or four but it's a new learning experience

It's great quality which was essential, but I'm not thrilled with the capacity. The luggage tapers in at the top when it's upright and even the zipper to expand the bag is also tapered. We will likely opt for a larger capacity carry-on that's lower quality that we will use most often and then will use this one for weekend trips when we don't need the extra capacity.
