Customer Reviews Travelpro Maxlite® 5 - 25" Expandable Spinner

Haven't traveled with it yet. I'm just writing this to stop getting emails. That said, the suitcase looks and feels great. I just wish the garment folder thing could be removed...

I love how light weight this bag is! Also the space is just right. I do love how easy it is to move when packed full. I had one that was an early version but on my last trip the handle wouldn't pop up so I bought a new one. Hope the handle last longer this time!

I have yet been able to use it, but it is very light weight and deep inside. Compared to my much older one, I think this one will fit all I need just fine.

Light weight and looks like it would hold for a week of travel maybe more. Good quality for durability.

This is a good quality suitcase, but just isn't big enough for what I need to put in it. The pocket intended to hold a computer is nicely padded, but my laptop won't begin to fit in that space. It's a few years old, so I guess it's probably bigger than some of the newer ones. My laptop (in its own padded case) does fit in the main compartment, but that doesn't leave much room for anything else. Otherwise, it's a very nice piece of luggage.

Have only used for one trip so far but happy with it. Quality seems much better than previous suitcases from other brands I've owned. Really like its light weight.

This is a handsome suitcase, which held up well during our 3 week overseas trip. However, this suitcas, and it's companion carry0on, are both smaller than our previous suitcases, and due to the odd shape (which does help with tip-over issues), the placement of the zipper, and the placement of the hardware for the handle, there is less useable space than necessary. Both suitcases are slightly less than the full allowable dimensions for travel, which impacts the roominess also. They are sturdy and the wheels move well and are strong.

We have rolled our suitcase a lot through the streets and their wheels moved beautifully.

Very nice suitcase. I needed a medium size suitcase for shorter trips and this seems to meet my needs.

I gave this only 4 stars, because unlike the the 22", which two exterior front pockets, this only has one.

very disappointed in the wear after one use the fabric was ripped. the suitcase was more than adequate for my needs but will be returning it due to the small tear.

They are very nice luggage, however the lower review is because of the odor that they have. I ordered the 29" about 2 years ago and they stun as well. Probably from sitting in container ships during covid.

The box was not sealed. The same thing happened the last time I purchased a suitcase from travel pro. It fell apart the first time I used it and I returned it. I will try again with this one but you really need to improve your packing for shipping

Pros- it's light Cons - without overpacking the front zipper has already come off the track

Good space, no outside pocket. Wheels do not roll well on carpet and catches in small cracks. Need wider and sturdier wheels

I like the size and features. It seems well built. However, I am considering returning it because of the strong smell.

This suitcase is light and roomy, but the small wheels and lightweight fabric don't look like it's a suitcase for the long haul. I am returning it and getting the Platinum Elite which has 8 larger wheels and stronger fabric. The Maxlite is ok on a budget, but my guess is that you will replace it in a few years.

This is my second Maxlite, and I like it very much except for one problem. The inside has a mild unpleasant odor which my first one did not have. I have not used it because I don't want my clothes to smell like that. Since receiving it, I've kept it open in hopes the smell will go away. Airing it out is still not helping. Last week I sprayed it with a fabric freshener. It helped for a short while but the odor soon returned. Any suggestions? I will have to return it if I can't get rid of the smell, but that's a lot of trouble and besides, I really like the luggage! Linda Hawthorne

I bought this to replace my 26" Travelpro. There are things I like & don't like about this bag. I like the 4 wheels. I love that the wheels glide along without me pulling like the 2 wheels. I like that it is light. I don't like the pockets. I don't like that it doesn't have a small front pocket like my previous one. That small front pocket was terrific for small, last minute items. There is only one interior zip pocket. No side pockets for shoes. The zippered part in the lid is not as deep as my other Travelpro suitcases.

I bought this Maxlite due to the service I got from my last Travelpro suitcases. On a recent long trip, when i received it I could not pull up the extension more than 2". Apparently it had become bent during transport. I am awaiting the results of a warranty claim from Travelpro.....

It is a bit bigger then I expected& difficult to maneuver. I wish is was a little smaller. Sorry I purchased the fabric,should have went with hard side. Not totally happy with this purchase.

Much bigger than I thought. Previously had a 24". 25" seems so much bigger. May need to return

My Maxlite is truly light and I love the color. Wheeling this case is a challenge because the wheels do not roll together. I could not roll it in a straight line. It rolls in all directions but straight. Its worse than a shopping cart with a bad wheel.

The luggage in terms of what I was looking for in size, compartments and weight meets my needs. However, there is an awful smell. The odor is so strong I had to move away many feet. I have it sitting open in my driveway since I received it in hopes that the odor will diminish. So far there is little difference. I'm not sure if I will keep it.

It's light and roomy. However this is my first trip with it, and there is about an inch long cut in the side material which I am afraid will expand and go into the interior. You can see the lining through the cut. I bought this to replace a 6 year old Travel pro and never encountered any problems with the outside. I used the old one for many, many trips on airplanes. I am very disappointed in this product.
