TravelproPlatinum Elite Hardside Suitcase 4 Wheels Rigid, Expandable, Vintage Grey Color Warranty 10 Years, 54x38x20 cm

The media could not be loaded.  Everything about this compact, cabin friendly screams quality. Actually, screaming is far too crass for an item like this. It would probably rather modestly utter ‘yes, I am a rather premium item’ - it would never scream.This is the first time I’ve owned a suitcase that’s comfortably more expensive than my clothes. When I go on holiday, the case is usually full with Primark or H&M summer stuff. There’s no getting away from the fact that this is a pricey case, but every part of it, from the zips, the effortless gliding, to the protective design ridges makes you aware that you’ve got a case that will last a lifetime.The expandable element really does add a decent amount of space and pushing the thing really is a joy. Never had a spinner case before and the wheels on this thing move so smoothly, you may end up just giving it a push and marvelling at the smooth action as it glides away from you. No? Just me? Ok.If I was to be hyper-critical, I was say the battery compartment is a little gimmicky. You have to extend the middle section, find the included usb connector cable, attach your battery pack (not included) ensure it’s powered on, zip it up, then you can plug your cable into the external socket on the case. It just feels like a problem that didn’t need fixing and unnecessarily puts the case in between your phone/laptop and the battery.. but that’s just my opinion. You may love it.I’ve only ever owned or used cases from the lower end of the price point. This is like upgrading from a second hand Ford Fiesta to a Rolls Royce. They both have four wheels, doors, etc but there’s a gulf in quality. My dad used to say ‘buy cheap, buy twice’ if you buy this case, you won’t need to buy a replacement for years. Maybe even a lifetime.Love it. If you can afford it, I highly recommend it.

The media could not be loaded.  I have to say that this suitcase is pricy but super nice and luxurious.Made out of really good materials (in and out) and you can tell that the quality is amazing. I would definitely put my laptop or something that I care about in this suitcase. Airports never take care of suitcases and this one definitely survives the airport handling.I love the design of the suitcase. It's very sturdy with good wheels, lightweight and can be easily manoeuvred with those wheels. The lock is simple but actually really secure (you can barely move the zipper while locked which is a very good sign).Couldn't find a USB port but as per the seller's video they will be adding the charging functionality at some point and that will be a game changer on this suitcase. Comes with 10 years warranty and that means that the product is really good.The suitcase also comes with a nice soft protective cover which is great when you want to store the suitcase somewhere and protect it from scratches and dust.I would recommend this product for everyone that need a suitcase that will last for years!

The media could not be loaded.  This is very much a video review - it's far better for you to see the suitcase from a variety of angles and perspectives in order to get a better idea of what you're getting. The video goes into much more detail about the size, construction, quality, manoeuvrability and everything else I consider to be essential when choosing a suitcase.However, in a nutshell:Things I liked:+ On the whole (with one exception, detailed below), really great build quality.+ Seems strong despite its light weight. It only weighs just over 5KG, which gives you about 18KG of contents you can fill it with before you get to the airline standard of 23KG.+ Really roomy. I measured about 62x42x30cm = about 78 litres internal, with a further 8 litres available if you expand the case.+ Extremely manouvrable. I filled it with about 20KG and pushed it around on thick carpet - it was extremely smooth despite the terrain.Things I didn't like:- Towards the end of the video, you'll see that there was a quality control issue with one of the zips.- Front plastic is very flexible - I do trust that it will stand up to repeated use but it would be remiss of me not to mention it. See the video for more on this.Do I recommend it?Yes, as long as the price is right. I appreciate that suitcases vary wildly in pricing, but I do expect this one to last. The quality of the materials and finish was, on the whole, great. However, I do need to mention that it came with a significant quality control issue with the material holding the expansion zip - watch the final minute of the video to see this in more detail. On balance, I didn't think this warranted removing a star, but you may think otherwise. My reasoning is that if this happened to you, you would return it and get an unblemished one. The only reason I would dock it a star would be if I thought it was indicative of the quality of the product as a whole, which I do not.It's a lot to spend on a suitcase, but I would hope this case is going to last a long time, which is why I'm happy to recommend it to you.

The media could not be loaded.  This suitcase has been an absolute game-changer! I'm a frequent flyer and I thought my old luggage was fine but oh boy was I wrong. The wheels on this thing are out of this world! They glide so smoothly and handle full 360 turns so effortlessly (see video) that they've made it a genuine pleasure to manoeuvre around endless airports. The material also feels extremely durable (though it doesn't matter that much with a carry-on), and it even has a charging port, so I'm really quite impressed overall (and I don't hand out five star ratings all that often).
