Review: Incredibly lightweight!! - Move over Samsonite! Travelpro is now the champion of lightweight and quality luggage! Since the 1970’s, we’ve always opted for Samsonite for their quality and durability. However, my old large sized Samsonite which is still in excellent condition, has become way too heavy for me. Did my research, found this Travelpro and so glad I did! I bought the medium one which is plenty roomy for extended trips (I’ll use my small Samsonite for short overnight trips). I can literally lift my new Travelpro with one finger! It’s that light! The wheels roll and swivel easily and the handles are padded for comfort. It has your standard zipper pockets on the inside and out and the zippers appear high quality and glide smoothly. Don’t waste your money on any others if you want the most lightweight suitcase that looks nice and is high quality. You can’t beat the price either. Lightweight Samsonites cost over $400!!! Who would pay that much for luggage! Can’t wait to take my next trip with my new Travelpro!! Review: High quality- packed for a 3-week trip easily - I bought the 'TravelPro Maxlite 5' luggage: 19-inch International carryon roller and 18" under-the-seat shoulder bag carryon. Love it. If you pack it right, you can actually pack for up to a 3-week trip between the two. Note that I studied how to pack prior to my trip. I'll share what I was able to pack in a moment. I used this lightweight set (5.3 pounds- truly lightweight!) with other very functional items to optimize packing: 1. Compression Packing Cubes (two medium, one small + one packing 'tube' for socks and undergarments) made of lightweight parachute, water-resistant material (Eagle Creek 2-zipper system- you don't need to use a vacuum) 2. One travel garment bag for my business clothes (one Eagle Creek - large. Made of same ligjtweight parachute material with lightweight folding board tool + velcro straps to compress clothes and keep them pretty much wrinkle-free) 3. Two single-pair shoe bags (Eagle Creek -they're aerated plastic covered in small mesh black netting) 4. Cofreya travel-sized, silicon gel bottles that don't burst under pressure in high altitudes- and are airline approved for size). By rolling clothes (except those in the garment bag), I was ankle to pack: a. 3 dresses b. 2 skirts c. 1 pair of pants d. 2 yoga 'sweats' outfits including both tops and pants e. 2 pullover sweaters (wore one on plane) f. pajamas g. 2 additional leggings + 2 camisoles h. 1 pair leather pumps I. over-the-ankle leather dress boots j. 1 pair Uggs boots (wore these on plane) k. accessories- 2 full-sized scarves, packable purse to use during the trip, mittens, ear muff etc. I. 3 turtleneck tops m. 3 camisole tops o. Small - lightweight business briefcase 'envelope' p. electronics: small tablet, phone, etc. ...all that AND a bag of chips and small snacks! (and no, I didn't end up using the expandable zippered area of the luggage). Note: To prolong the parade of clean clothes, I also packed Travelon & Tide travel laundry detergent + Travelon travel bathtub laundry clothesline (no clothes pins needed) and quickly sink-washed items each night). Anyway, just sharing the details to show the capability - (and packability) of these 2 bags when using the right tools. The bags themselves are high quality and have a warranty. The pretty, dusty rose color I bought is wonderful AND it's easy to spot should someone other than you decide to take your luggage. Really appreciate the 360 degree rollers since I have the option of pushing the luggage alongside me instead of always having to pull it. Three telescopic handle gave several options e.g. when putting the shoulder bag on top the suitcase - or not. The design maximized space. I've included photos showing that the shoulder bag fits under smaller planes such as the UAL Airbus planes I boarded. You must insert the bag on its back rather than standing up - and it will easily fit. Great purchase and value, functional, lightweight design, high quality. ## Features - LIGHTWEIGHT: A half pound lighter than Maxlite 4, this spinner meets most international carry-on size limits.

We also offer an Int'l Spinner that is more compliant with int'l requirements. The overall dims including handles and wheels of the 21" spinner are 23" x 14.5" x 9" and the overall dims for the Int'l spinner are 21.75" x 15.75" x 7.75". **Q: How does this bag do on rougher, uneven terrain, or on thin carpeting (sometimes found in airports)? thanks--** A: I took a trip to London/UK with the medium sized (25 in) and an older Travel Pro carry-on roll aboard. In addition to the usual airport/hotel stuff, we traveled the Tube, trains, busses, walked through streets, and both pieces of luggage held up well. I often used the larger suitcase to carry the smaller one, though that got tiring after a while. At one point, we walked nearly 2 miles including across cobble stones, cracked sidewalk, curbs, and the luggage did a great job. I prefer the spinner wheels to the roll aboard wheels for this type of travel and am thinking of adding an international carryon size with the spinner wheels. The only trouble I had was more about weight (which is what I deserve for overpacking!). Walking down steep subway steps holding a 40 lbs case in one hand and a 25 lbs case in the other is not something I'd recommend. **Q: United's limit is 22 x 14 x 9. Does it mean this one will not fit?** A: This bag has been sizer bin tested during development so we don't have any concerns about it not fitting. The overall dims including handles and wheels are 21.75" x 15.75" x 7.75". The width is a little bit over primarily due to the side carry handle but most sizer bins don't have a top and they have roughly and additional 1" play in the other directions. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredibly lightweight!! *by A***S on December 20, 2025* Move over Samsonite!

Very good. I put mine through a LOT this year on two complex global itineraries. It doesn't show any damage of any kind, still rolls beautifully, and was never any source of frustration. It's amazingly light (empty). The tapered shape is very effective (if packed correctly) at making sure your suitcase with stacked carryon won't fall over. Like all spinner (quad wheel) designs, it takes a little extra effort on rough pavement or over large gaps. Not enough to be frustrating, but you have to pay attention to "jump" it across the gaps or it may get stuck. This is the largest size suitcase I consider "manageable": * It'll fit (all 4 wheels) on the step of every escalator I took it on (at least two dozen) * It'll fit properly in the Amtrak end-of-car luggage racks (both NEC Regional and Acela) * It'll fit (tight) between the facing seats on the New York LIRR * It fit in the cargo area of all types of small taxis around the world * It fit through the hatch and in the narrow back end of a seaplane without any theatrics. * And not so large that it'll lend itself to overpacking past the checked weight limit If that wasn't enough, it also went through transfers, sorting, load&unload in all kinds of temperature extremes, long haul flights, big airports, dinky little airports, being checked & transferred a dozen times. Held up like a champ. Better than me, possibly. Other thoughts: I'd characterize this as week-long suitcase. But for solo travelers, if you're a low-maintenance or high-density packer, don't do much shopping, and have a carry-on also? Comfortably 9-14 days, verified personally. For a couple packing together it's probably less, 4-6 days? If you're not carrying breakables, I think this sort of nylon construction is "easier" to work with than a hardside. It has some flex and some ability to squish, the expansion zipper works well, it's easy to pack w/o any special techniques. I've used Traevelpro's other products, but this first maxlite piece has me already ordering another size. Highly Recommended. ## Frequently Bought Together - Travelpro Maxlite 5 Softside Expandable Carry on Luggage with 4 Spinner Wheels, Lightweight Suitcase, Men and Women, Black, Carry On 21-Inch - Travelpro Maxlite 5 Softside Lightweight Underseat Carry-On Travel Tote, Overnight Weekender Bag - Travelpro Maxlite Lightweight Laptop Backpack, Fits up to 15 Inch Laptop and 11 Inch Tablet, Water Resistant, Men and Women, Work, Travel, Black, 18-Inch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/61388411-maxlite-5-softside-expandable-luggage-with-4-spinner-wheels-lightweight](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/61388411-maxlite-5-softside-expandable-luggage-with-4-spinner-wheels-lightweight) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
