Customer Reviews Travelpro Maxlite® 5 - 21" Expandable Carry-On Spinner

I recently used my luggage for the first time this past weekend to travel to Chicago for my daughter's bridal shower. Having previously owned 2 wheel suitcases, I absolutely loved having a 4 wheel spinner! Why did I never buy this before?!

Used as a carry on for a Flight from Louisiana to Budapest. Delta let us on the plane with it, but Air France made us check it. So, whether it's a carry on or not depends on the airline. It's a really good size, lightweight, and sturdy.

My last suitcase lasted 40 years and only failed as a result of overpacking. Only time will tell whether this one is as good. When I travel my carry-on luggage is the single most important thing I take with me. It makes all the difference between hassle free travel and hassled travel. On initial examination it appears to touch all the bases for carry-on luggage for international travel.

It is as described: very light and good-looking! I am very happy with it.

Just returned from a 6-day business trip. I already owned a couple of excellent carry-ons that have stood the tests of time and frequent travel. However, as you get older- it's tougher to pickup and stash into overhead compartments, etc. The TravelPro 21-inch Maxlite was perfect. Both empty and full- light, very easy to lift and manuever. Very impressed how user friendly it was. Compression bags allowed me to pack everything required for a week away from home. Also purchased matching underseat bag - another great buy for shoes, electronics, incidentals, handbag, etc. I am planning a week-long leisure trip within the month and will definitely be taking both bags again. Surprisingly roomy interior is well-organized. Compact size fits nicely into crowded overhead bins. Spinner very easy to guide through crowded airports and aisles one-handed. Only minor glitch is that it can be top-heavy. Standing bags fell over twice with underseat bag attached. Must be conscientious when on a graded surface as bag will roll and fall over! Again, light and easy to pick up. Highly recommend.

Love the color, light weight - going to attempt to fill it for a 3 week vacation as only suitcase!

Just what I was looking for, a well made light weight carryon.

Good compartments and well built but I need a larger suitcase for extended travel.

Just the right size. First purchased the 25" but was too big for my purposes. The return was hassle-free...thanks TravelPro! Love the smaller 21".

This new Maxlite 5 21-incher replaced a 20+ year-old two-wheeler. In those days, I was traveling the world, literally around-the-world, 2X in 1995. I had been noticing the crew luggage with the Eiffel Tower emblem and the wheels! It served me well, but this one is lighter, has more room, moves along with me more smoothly, and I'm betting it's still sturdy. Also, a good value compared to "luxury" brands. Luxury is what works for two decades of heavy use!

The look and mobility was perfect a perfect gift for freshman going to college. The design and color made it easy to recognize and to travel with.

Travelpro is lighweight and quality construction...super pleased with our new luggage pieces.

This is my fifth one that I have bought for my family. It's the best carry on piece of luggage you can buy.

I love everything about this luggage but I haven't got a Chance to use it yet.

Light weight suitcase, works well as a carry on in the US. Looking forward to trying in Europe later this year.

Already have two Maxlite 4 21" carry-on spinners. Got the Maxlite 5 carry-on spinner to keep at my second home where I receive my medical care for breast cancer. Being so lightweight it is easier for me to put in overhead bin and to roll around terminals. Have two Maxlite 4 25" check in spinners. Can't wait to upgrade those to Maxlite 5 25" spinners.

This is the perfect size carryon. And is so light. I own the 25" also so the new one looks so cute beside it! The wheel on both roll so great! I tell everyone on my travel sites the Travelpro is the best! Hopefully this one doesn't go on the same adventure as the 25". Lost for 33 days by Air France!

Haven't traveled with it yet. But I LOVE how light it is. It's half the weight of my old Victorinox carry on of the same size.

It is a perfect size for a 3-4 day trip. It's also light and maneuverable.

Great except when crossing thresholds- Then need to drag or lift

I ordered the Maxlite 5 for my birthday. Love it! My husband saw it & said order me a set also so I did. We are going on a trip in September & have matching luggage. I think Travelpro luggage are superior!

Love it. Well constructed. Very lightweight. Great price.

Bag is great but I wish the pocket on inside of zippered flap could be waterproof instead of a mesh netting. Would be great for wet clothes or to hold liquids and not worry about leakage.

Wheels are great so far , only used this once , can't comment on longevity yet or durability

Bag is very light weight, handle is very long for taller people.It fits in the overhead bin very well.
