Travelpro Platinum Elite Softside Expandable Checked Suitcase, 8 Wheel Spinner Suitcase, TSA Lock, Men and Women, Vintage Grey, Checked Medium 72x47x30 cm

AFTER TRIP UPDATE : The luggage appearance is like new after checking it 4 times. The wheels are still rolling smoothly despite enduring medieval cobblestone streets (I really thought they'd break, but no). I got the Platinum Elite 25 from Amazon Warehouse Deals at less than half the listed price! Except for a very slight scratch on the top leather handle, it was in pristine condition, and I was also able to register the product online without problem. Despite some reviews I read online, the front metal zipper was working fine. I still lubricated it with graphite powder and wax paper to prevent breakage and it glides very well now. The spinner wheels roll smoothly, the handle feels sturdy in hand, and the luggage is easy to maneuver. The expansion feature doesn't really add volume to the luggage, I think it only serves the purpose of being able to use the optional clothes hanger. I probably won't use the provided plastic toiletry bag but it's nice to have the option to unzip it off.

Bought earlier 2024 and took it on a 21 day trip to SE Asia. Utilized a clear luggage cover over the bag and there is no damage of any kind on this Travelpro medium check in, dark brown or expresso color. It's very roomy and easy to utilize since it opens like a trunk. In checking the specs, it states a 97L volume, which compared to many trunk style luggage, is a larger capacity. When abroad, I saw a few trunk style pieces at the luggage area, and speculated that they were roomier, but if the specs listed on Amazon are correct, this Travelpro beats them outright for space. The trunks I'm comparing are not XL sizes but comparable in outer dimensions to this medium check in. The outer material is a premium soft sided material and is expandable. The only minor con I have has to do with the design of the handle which sticks out from the rail at the top due to padding. If the smaller bag you want to piggyback on this piece doesn't have a wide enough trolley strap, then it gets a little difficult to slip over the handle. By no means a dealbreaker but just something to consider if you plan on placing a personal item backpack or similar on top. Overall this is a sturdy, good looking and classy piece of luggage and I'm happy with this Platinum Elite.

Well made, excellent quality

Pleased with suitcase, roomier than I expected which was a bonus. Liked the extra handles on the front and side.....so much easier to lift I would recommend

I purchased this suitcase based on Travelpro's brand reputation as a quality piece I could rely upon for years. It didn't even last its first trip. The handle is in the stuck down position. Can't pull the handle out!! Hunching down to navigate the airport is a literal pain in the neck. It's basically useless now. Thankfully there's Travelpro's warranty to rely on, right? Right?!? Well, no... I emailed them a warranty claim. And waited. And waited. No response for 2+ months despite assurances of 48-72 hours. No replies to follow-ups. Phoned in multiple times over several weeks on the their official support phone number. Either nobody picks up, or I get forwarded to a full mailbox. So if you want to roll the dice, go ahead. But I would no longer recommend Travelpro based on this warranty situation. They didn't even respond! Just ignore. Silence.
