Do NOT buy the wrangler, the fact that was listed as an option leaves me shocked and dubious of the other reviews lol. I bought it and REGRET IT. it doesn't spin well, the wheels are complete trash quality. The expandable handle is flimsy, it doesn't even have an expandable option for the main compartment. Zipper is OK, weight is light.
I think just find out what pilots and flight attendants use and buy that one. This Guy’s video is very suspect picking one choice that is no size compliant?
@@laurencehyde2168 Just my luck. I made that comment right before a trip to Costa Rica and they weighed our bags on the way back. We had to throw stuff away from one of our bags.
There's no mention on the weight. With today's airlines many weight restrictions, it is advisable to get a lighter sturdy carry on luggage. Most carry on would last a lifetime if it's not check in. One other factor is the wheels. Most of the rubber wheels will wear off after about 3-4 years depend on usage. Companies like Samsonite does carry spare wheels for replacements.
When did they start weighing carry-ons? Granted I mostly travel stateside and Canada and not too much overseas in the last 15 years but I don't think I've ever been weighed for carry-ons.
No.1 is on sale on Amazon today! I’ve always loved Samsonite❤ my first luggage I bought at 19 yrs old , and I’m 66 yrs old! I go on their website and recently bought an oversized suitcase bc I would be gone for a month bearing gifts for fam and friends after not traveling for 4 years! Sooo I love Samsonite ❤
I have the Freeform spinner carry-on, but it actually measures 23" by 15" by 10" so therefore I am concerned about trying to carry it on. I've just returned from Europe and got by for 2 weeks with a true carry-on sized TravelPro Maxlite 5 compact softside and a backpack. I was able to do laundry at a friend's along the way.
Thanks for the information. I'm planning to travel internationally in one month and need a carry-on...a REAL carry-on. I don't want to check in any bags and risk delays or losses again. Air Canada height rule is 21.5" and they will not budge. Also they measure from handle to the bottom of the wheels. I found out that some people don't include the wheels--only the case as they say they are considering packing capacity. I would have appreciated more specifics on the measurements and confirmation of them meeting most airline standards. Thanks.
I ordered the Samsonite Freeform Carry-on Spinner along with a Travelpro Maxlite 5 Softside Underseat Carry-On Travel Tote. The rest of the day I continued to watch and read luggage reviews and have to say that I was impressed to see the Samsonite Freeform Spinner bags as the #1 bag in review after review. Considering that many times the competition was 2-3 times the price of the Samsonite, it says a lot that the company still continues to make a good product. (My parents bought me Samsonite luggage in 1970 when I was in high school and traveling halfway across the country for a university summer program. That luggage continued to provide my parents good luggage the rest of their lives). The Travelpro Maxlife 5 travel tote I was impressed by the size, room, and quality for a surprisingly low cost when compared to much of the rest of the Travelpro lines. Between the two, I have no regrets about not buying a medium size checked bag. Thanks for the great video review!
I’m glad someone finally tested carry-on bags in “a real-life setting” like being struck repeatedly with a baseball bat. How many times have we all tried to make our connection at Heathrow only to have some maniac attack us with a ball bat like some overzealous 10 year-old on a sugar high flailing away at a piñata on his birthday?
I have the Samsonite Freeform. I really love the bag. I think that my favorite feature is how well it maneuvers - especially taking an underground in the UK or running to make plane connections when the first plane was late. It's also fairly light at about 6.5 lbs. (That's an important feature for a number of carriers.) It packs very well, too. I went to London and Scotland for 4 weeks last summer with it and a backpack for my computer. I fly British Air, and they did not think it was too large. That airline is definitely more liberal than KLM/Air France or Lufthansa. For those airlines, I take another Samsonite that is bit smaller and lighter. (The Samsonite Ziplite 5 from Kohls.) Every ounce matters when I fly those airlines. That bag maneurvers as well, and doesn't hold quite as much. It's about 6 lbs. 2oz. I'm waiting for a bag that weighs less, but holds as much. The July bag might be good. I wish that I could see that one in person.
I bought my Samsonite 2016, still new but problem so heavy. Materials is good thick, I put in scale without Anything inside omg, it's almost 15 kg already, when I put my clothes, I always pay extra charges in the Airport because of over baggage 😅😅😅
For me the ideal bag has not yet been designed. It looks like additional airport security will be with us forever. There should be a way of easily separating laptops toiletries and power banks for security as well as accommodating shoes and belt on the conveyor belt. So Samsonite with these features would be amazing. Am I asking too much?
newer / upgraded airports are installing tech so that these items do not need to be unpacked. Just did 6 weeks in Sth America/UK/Canada and only had to take out laptops etc in Nth America.
The Samsonite thing is a bit exaggerated here. Don't forget that suitcases made of polypropylene get scratched very quickly, even if they can withstand a lot. As cheaper manufacturers also make cases from this material, you may be able to save a lot of money. However, there may be differences in the quality of the wheels, the telescopic rod and the zip - you should be aware of this. Otherwise, I would personally recommend suitcases made of matt and ribbed polycarbonate if you want a high standard.
Home…spent a lifetime finding the right house, the right location, the right furniture, the comfiest bed and most of all the BEST furry friends…I’m with you…I never really want to leave home. Yes, it does get stale, but I seriously love being at home💕
Soooo I hats the comfiest bed?? I have been searching for this for over 20 years. The best I have found so far (unexpectedly) was at a $21/night Airbnb in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. It was a really old Serta Royal with old connected innerspring system. Had lots of pee stains and the whole 9 yards but it was surprisingly the best sleep I have ever had on a bed. I fell in love but unfortunately that model is discontinued and so my search continues. Any suggestions? Anyone? 🎉😂
Hi there. I’m Canadian so looked up two common airlines. The specs on the Monos Carry On are 22x14x9, according to the site. And a luggage reviewer also stated the Monos carry on measurements matches the site. The Level8 Luminous is 21.5x14.5x9.2. Westjet site shows allowance of 21x15x9, while Air Canada site shows allowance of 21.5x15.5x9. I’m hoping both airlines can overlook a slight overage. I still have not found a hard shell carryon that can measure up to or below Westjet’s allowance.
The Samsonite is really too big for carry on-/especially on US airlines which is 22x14x9 Packing Dimensions: 19.5" x 14.5" x 10.0", Overall Dimensions: 21.25" x 15.25" x 10.0", 6.5 lbs.
I fly about 80 hours a month. I'm an airline pilot, so granted, I don't check very often. Briggs and Riley is the best brand out there, even though they're pricey. I go through normal bags in a year or two. Briggs lasts me at least 5 years. Their replacement or repair warranty, even for flight crews, is the best in the industry. Crew Outfitters is a popular bag among crews and are very durable, but they're heavy and lack a good warranty. Briggs are the best option in my opinion.
The number one Samsonite might be a problem if you have to check your luggage at the gate. The wheels protruding out, unprotected can be broken by gorilla bag handlers who throw bags around or get caught on something. Plus the wheels increases the height of the luggage. I prefer luggage with low profile wheels.
I just got the white Samsonite carry-on! Looking forward to taking in on vacation. Thanks for the amazing info. PS: How could a video with 13k views only have 5 comments before mine? Very odd. :)
I have a fear of my luggage getting lost so I only use a carry-on. Even when I go to visit my family in Munich once a year (I am from Texas), I only take a 20 inch hard-shell carry-on. A 20 inch carry on for 9 days in Germany.
I found this informative, but you had the number 1 suitcase listed as a carryon suitcase, but it was listed as a 28” suitcase which is definitely not a carryon!
Because no one needs a charging port on their suitcase. Anyone who has gone on a trip outside their home will know to carry a charging cord and a small power bank in an accessible pocket in/on their bag that they carry on as their “personal item”
I have had my Swiss Gear carry-on for almost 10 years. I fly regularly. I am flying out tomorrow, and I think it's time to replace it. It has been very satisfactory.
I bought my Swiss Gear at TJ Maxx, loved it but on the way back from Amsterdam to US the handle refused to telescope, Dutch TSA yelled at me as if it was my fault it wouldn't fit through the Xray machine. Had to take everything out (thankfully I had packing cubes) push the little button in on the tube from the inside. I've rigged it now and used it on a recent ski trip (carry on) but it will be retired. Looking at the Samsonite. Disappointed in the Swiss Gear b/c Ilove the brand normally.
I don't get it, does American not have weight limit on carry on luggage, 7 pounds is 3.2kg, no way is it consider lightweight. That is half the allownace gone. My first carry on luggage weight 5kg, yes, it is solid as a rock, but no body want to carry rocks in their travel.
Really…. Level 8 didn’t even make the list? Affordable and good quality?. Really? Who made this list? Who did the “testing”?? This video is suspect? No thanks
Important to everyone as most airlines have or are in the process of enacting weight restrictions on carry on luggage, after all with more and more people forgoing checked luggage they have to make their money somehow. 7 kg is roughly equivalent to 15.4 lbs, not a lot of available weight for clothing and other necessities.

What was the point of evaluating bags that don’t comply with either weight or size restrictions for carryon bags?
The Briggs does.
One suggestion, mention the length / size?
Exactly like wtf

Carry ons mustn’t exceed 7 kg. The luggage empty weight is crucial, so it can carry heavier baggages. Some carry ons are heavy even when empty.
Really? I don’t think I’ve ever had an airline weigh my carry on bag.
International flts weigh carry on.
@@DeltronZero656try Jetstar,air Asia,Cebu Pacific,they all way
@@laurencehyde2168 Just my luck. I made that comment right before a trip to Costa Rica and they weighed our bags on the way back. We had to throw stuff away from one of our bags.
@@laurencehyde2168 Yep! Jetstar have been known to weigh carry on bags just before boarding!
great reviews, but I think you need to show each of the chose bags fitting in to the "size frames" to show that they will be allowed on board.

@@grahamjl766 Pretty much every airline outside the US and Canada weighs carry-ons. Weight is checked way more often than the size

I agree!!! Samsonite so far has the best quality in regards to zipper, etc. I only buy samsonite since all my luggage break after 1 trip

I read a few people say this already. Seems like an insane miss by Samsonite. I don't know what they were thinking.

Do you have recommendations for zipperless carry-on luggage?

NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO CARRY ON!!!!!

I have been using B&R for over ten years already. Rimowa also nice, its more pricey than B&R.
Going to be in the hospital for three weeks for transplant, , I am choosing the Samsonite for all of my possessions !
Thanks for very valuable information. But the music all along was too loud, distracting and painful.
I've used Antler for many years The strongest lightest and best value for money

Xiaomi luggage. Affordable, durable, looks awesome. No need to spend a fortune on good luggage.
Don't buy charger port luggage it is not allowed on some International flights
Only those that can’t be removed
Question. The Sampsonite is 23 inches. Will that work on AA to Europe. They say 22 inches.
The answer to your question is contained within the question, itself.
Very annoying music
It is said there are no dumb questions. But this is pretty close.
I have Samsonite carryon and wheel broke on first trip! 😮Softside luggage is very heavy.
I just got the white Samsonite carry-on! Looking forward to taking in on vacation. Thanks for the amazing info. PS: How could a video with 13k views only have 5 comments before mine? Very odd. :)
I actually shifted right after, cancelled it. And recently got the Béis Carry-On and Mini Convertible Weekender.
Okay... The Beis Carry-On was too big for Lufthansa So, I finally got the ivory Hanke 20" Carry-On (not clamshell).
I have a fear of my luggage getting lost so I only use a carry-on. Even when I go to visit my family in Munich once a year (I am from Texas), I only take a 20 inch hard-shell carry-on. A 20 inch carry on for 9 days in Germany.
Which one? Any of these that are recommended?
I found this informative, but you had the number 1 suitcase listed as a carryon suitcase, but it was listed as a 28” suitcase which is definitely not a carryon!
well i was really hoping this video would help me out but i think only 1 or 2 of these are actually CARRY ON size compliant. not to mention weight :(
How can samsonite be #1 without charging port?
right! and where is the ice maker?
Because no one needs a charging port on their suitcase. Anyone who has gone on a trip outside their home will know to carry a charging cord and a small power bank in an accessible pocket in/on their bag that they carry on as their “personal item”
My favourite is Rimova, I am happy with it
Thank you 🙏🏼! Very helpfully!!
Traveler choice is good
love the wack them around... thats what i imagine airport luggage personnel do to my luggages 😂
Lmao, we try not to be too rough. 🤗
Where is monos
The Swiss Gear is really nice, but the handle and wheels make it useless. It lasted 5 trips and the tiny screws in the handle came out.
I have had my Swiss Gear carry-on for almost 10 years. I fly regularly.
I am flying out tomorrow, and I think it's time to replace it.

This isn't a real review. This video is just an advertisement regurgitating the basic specs of these luggage cases that anyone can't find online.
I have t travelpro spinner. One of em. Tends to tip. Can anyone reccomend a 2 -4 wheel that doesn't tip ?
Kindly enlighten us where this baseball bat attack ever happened and the purpose of it? It is carryon not checkin!
Thank you for an extremely informative video!
Most of the telescopic handles are shaky after being extended….seems like no body talk about it
Agree. They break easily and there should be some place in airports that you can pay to have them fixed!
Are all these tsa or airline approved?
What’s the difference between Swiss tech and Swiss gear?
gartch
The video has luggage which went in the hold, not carry on.
Most don't fit within airline carryon size. ??????
really enjoyed this high quality video, well produced and focused.
I don't get it, does American not have weight limit on carry on luggage, 7 pounds is 3.2kg, no way is it consider lightweight. That is half the allownace gone. My first carry on luggage weight 5kg, yes, it is solid as a rock, but no body want to carry rocks in their travel.

BRAVO FROM BOLIVIA
Wished you Had Included their Weights!?!?
In kg for the entire rest of planet Earth!
Good
Xiaomi luggage is awesome, good quality, not heavy and easy to carry,
lol. a 30" bag is not a carry on and at 489. this review is a joke. keep looking.
This is no more than an advertisement! Waste of time!
Much information that you really need is missing on this video that is not helpful.

Never buy one with zipper.

Should be about carry-ons not everything else but with all the choices you had you picked the bags too big! Pointless
