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

Love the spinner but returned it. I didn't meet the carryon guidelines for my travel. The wheels made this larger than the 21" size limit. I eventually ordered the Maxlite 5 Rollaboard to replace it.

Haven't traveled with it yet, but I like the fact that it's so light. I only hope it passes as a carry-on because the dimensions are a bit larger than what's allowed.

Love this bag, beautiful built and the wheels are amazing. I would definitely recommend it. One issue I had though was if I put my laptop (Mac book pro) in the front pocket it would fall over, like it was too heavy. I just ended up putting my computer at the back of the suitcase to even it out. Aside from that I would say defiantly purchase this bag.

A lot less quality and features than same bags we bought two years ago but price was good and they will work fine for our week drives and train trips.

Well-made and maneuvers easily. Amount of interior space is too small. I have an IT bag the same size and it holds a lot more.

Great carry-on bag but just a bit too small for my needs. Would have liked to fit my CPAP but 1" too narrow.

Great suitcase and love the lightweight. I wish there was a spinner between the 21" and bigger one....

Took this on my recent trip and loved it! The "No tipping" design was great and much appreciated. It wheeled very smoothly, too. The only downside was the handle. While it was very comfortable to pull, the design/materials make it much more difficult to slip another bag (trolley strap) over it. It took me numerous tries each time. With arthritis in my hands, it was a problem to continue to hold and struggle to put my heavy under-seat bag - plus it took time which then held up the people behind me.

This is a lovely suitcase, but I didn't like how slim it is. It's quite large on the bottom and has good room there, but it slims a bunch as it goes up, like a tapering. I think it's because it's built to accommodate the pockets. It is also too big for several international airlines (it's 22 inches, rather than 21 1/2.) If you're only planning on going on domestic flights, and for only a few days or maybe a week, this is a fantastic bag. But I plan to fly a lot in Europe and with only a carry on, so this was just too slim for my needs. I am sending it back, but not really happy about it. I wanted to love this bag and keep it for years to come, but I don't think it would have had enough space.

I just used my new TravelPro suitcase for the first time traveling from the Southwest to East Coast. The suitcase is much lighter than my old suitcase. I was having difficulty getting my old suitcase into the overhead bin on flights because it's heavy. My new TravelPro is easier to maneuver. My only disappointment is I wish the new TravelPro could hold more. It's fine for a weekend getaway but for longer trips, there's just not enough room to pack a week of clothes, shoes and toiletries.

I really liked the idea of storing my iPad on the outside along with scarf, magazines, tour and ticket confirmations. But when I went to pack my squares and flat clothing there was no room on the inside. The idea of placing all items on top of each other left very little room to squeeze in shoes, a jacket or any last minute items. The inside was only deep enough for lingerie, a tie or something very skinny.I liked the cloth style but not for sacrificing space. Ended up going back to my hard case with dual storage on both sides. TSA Precheck did not require me to remove my iPad so no need to have it up front ready to grab out. Nice idea but not functional enough for me.

love the lightness, the wheels are great there is plenty of room inside. But there could be some more outside pockets for papers and other things miss that, and the Handle bar does not stay in position for me it's either up high or low low the mid height does not lock in properly and that is the one I need.

This is a nice light weight suitcase. it's exactly what I was looking for. The purple color is great and unique in a sea of black. It does tend to spin a bit when rolling it upright on 4 wheels which is why I gave it a good, not great. I'm sure I'll use it for years.

I like that the piece is light, though I'll be interested to see how it holds up to actual travel. I was disappointed in the color - I thought i was getting a darker teal-blue, but the actual color is a light-medium blue. Still, it will stand out on the luggage carousel. I like the profile (thicker near the wheels) - my chief complaint with previous rolling luggage is that it won't stand by itself - I have hopes this piece will stand well.

Light weight, as advertised. The extendable handle on the undersea bag sticks in the open position. I won't be traveling with it till early February, so I won't know how much of a problem it will be, and I was surprised that it was actually heavier than the 21" bag. Probably due to the (to me) superfluous "organizational features". I loved the color (a mauve/pink). I'd rate the bags 5-stars, except for the handle issue. I'll deal with the warranty if the handle issue continues to be problematic.

I ordered this because of the light weight and I had a previous Travelpro carry on that I liked. This one is a little smaller which was a disappointment.

Carry-on appears to be as advertised. I have not used it yet, but I see the quality workmanship. I chose a dark shade of color and the size fits current regulation.

Was light as expected. Slightly smaller than2 wheeler carryon ( to be expected)Travelpro brand has for me for the price is excellent.

Well made , packaged very well in a plastic bag inside th shipping box, was received d in a couple of days form placing the order

A little smaller than my old "Samsonite" Love the wait

The interior seems much smaller than the last one I had, but I haven't packed it for a trip yet either. It's a beautiful piece of luggage.

The outside pockets are very tight so only very flat items fit. The inside is fine.

Haven't had a chance to use yet, but it appears well made.

Nice luggage but top is narrower than the base. That cuts down on space for packing. Like that it's so lightweight.

A bit smaller than we expected. We have 22" rollabord bags that have plenty of room. This doesn't seem to have mch room.
