my seond one as my son “Borrowed ” mine and i needed one quick…. fast delivery.. quality suitcase .. stands up to use every week…
... travelled at least 25 times and it is still like brand new
I have bough this around 18 month ago and have travelled at least 25 times and it is still like brand new. good quality worth the money.
Great item!
Awesome piece of luggage – managed to fit enough clothes for me to go from Iceland to the desert in one trip! The colour makes it easy to spot on the baggage carousel as well.
Would not buy anything else
Bought this samsonite hand luggage as it has a proper lock, an excellent case to either go in the hold or to carry on the plane.

No zip means far less hassle and better weatherproofing – rolled for 30 mins in heavy rain without a drop of water entry. Also rolled it smoothly all day long with a medium sized stacked on top, perfect wheels plus an indented side handle that helps the aerodynamics. Due to peculiar circumstances I’ve checked it empty at the airport once, no collapse nor damage. Solid casing.
Sturdy case
This is a very sturdy case, and I am sure will last a good while. It’s quite an attractive design, and the handles, wheels, etc. all seem very strong.
Quality!
Robust high quality suitcase – I love it and know it won’t get crushed at an airport (like my last suitcase). Easy to use locks and plenty of spce.

his is by far the best option in Amazo
For the price of this item, this is by far the best option in Amazon. Samsonite’s products endure everything, and this is a fantastic product for all your trips abroad.
Safe travels!
I have been traveling for business for over 50 years and this is one of the best suitcases I’ve found. I bought it primarily because of its security features and the fact that it is robust and damage resistant.
I had some basic criteria for a new small suitcase: it had to be small enough to qualify as hand luggage on most airlines, it had to have 4 wheels, and it had to have no external zips.
I do quite a few trips where I can get away with just hand luggage, so I needed one that was small enough for that, but could hold quite a lot in it. This suitcase is fairly basic inside with one open section and the other section has a zipped cover – which is great. It holds lots of stuff in it and I can easily pack a good few days’ worth of clothes in it.
I’d never had a 4-wheel suitcase before (only 2-wheel pull-alongs), but seeing so many in the airport and how easily people can push them along, I wanted to go for one. You have the best of both worlds anyway, as you can also just pull it along on two of its wheels if you want to. It rolls really smoothly too.
Finally, and probably most importantly, I wanted a suitcase with latches rather than zips. These are actually harder to find that I expected. I didn’t want zipped because zips fail. Also zips are less secure and you can easily wedge a pen or screwdriver into a zip to force it open. Also, latches are generally on hard-shell cases and I prefer hard shells plus I find latches feel like they’re holding your suitcase tight shut with little chance of accidentally opening.
As this suitcase met my criteria and it wasn’t too expensive (not cheap, but one of the cheaper Samsonite ones) then I decided it was the one to go for. I ordered red so it stood out more on the carousel (if I ever needed to check it in). Being Samsonite, the build quality is superb and I expect it will last for years.
Excellent Purchase
Excellent Product and well recommended. We ordered it on a Saturday evening and it was delivered on the Monday morning. We are very impressed by the product and the service.
I had to change my review as this got broken after 4 years of light usage.
To start with, one of the wheels got stuck and it had to be replaced.
A few months ago I noticed that the shell got cracked too.
I am a huge Samsonite fan, but I feel this luggage is below the usual quality.
Quality stuff
I got this for my wife after I have owned one these for 2 years now and I can say it’s worth the money very good quality,nice design etc.
wo shirts perfect for those one and two night trips
Just what I wanted for short haul flights, it takes a suit, shoes, two shirts perfect for those one and two night trips. Fits in all major airline lockers lightweight but strong worth every penny.

Scure deluxe
This is actually a version of the Scure DLX though not named as such. I presume it’s much cheaper than the standard version (155) because it doesn’t come in the metallic colours of the original. The main advantage of the DLX model is the additional handle on top making lifting it more stable. This replaces a Samsonite Aeris which kept bashing my legs every time it was lifted as there was no central handle on top. Straps and zipped compartments inside are also useful. A really robust lightweight suitcase.
They are really good.
Quality, quality and quality! We purchased 2 years ago the larger ones so got these to complete the set. They are really good.
Finally found my secure suitcase for good. Honestly if u don't already own 1
Finally found my secure suitcase for good. Honestly if u don’t already own 1, u should buy one because this is just excellent. Keep your stuff safe for good. I love it xxxxxxxx.
This is a very good brand. I recommend for the quality and how easy to open/close it. The 4 wheels are just great. The handles are very sturdy including the one to pull the case. The only con I found is the design, it is narrower at the top so I can’t put as much as I used to. A proper rectangle shape would have been better. For sure it will last for years.
If your looking at these - YES they are the right ones to buy
Worth the money – I bought a matching pair in place of two older pull-alongs and these are great. Light weight as you’d expect 4.5Kg but they are very light on their wheels when full. Excellent – Ala
5 year warranty
Really nicely made and well designed case, it feels like it will take the punishment of airline baggage handlers.
If you are serious about travel this is a suitcase for years
Samsonite hard case suitcases always deliver. Many people feel put off by the fact that it’s hard case but if you don’t intend to carry a djembe in them they are by far the most durable and protective suitcases. I ofthe carry bottles and other semi fragile items and never had to put bubble wrap in them. Have had 2 for more than 50 years and I just had to replace the small one recently due to one of the locks not closing anymore. When I get the time I will try to repare this lock and hope for another 15 years of the old one
This is a quality case. We already have a black version of this case and have used it for years without problem. This red one is one for my wife as she has been jealous. It looks and feels as though it will last. I am particularly impressed by the 3 point locking – there are so many YouTube videos of getting into a zipped case with a simple biro.
Must say we had excellent service from this supplier, which was completed by DPD delivery from Germany

Super light, hard case but flexible, glides over even rough ground, recently did a trip with 2 kids! I always get lumbered with the baggage and Mrs gleefully takes charge of the kids, it’s been a part of the holiday I always resented! Not until these guys! Four cases 2 hands, no issue, a damn sight easier than controlling 2 kids at Heathrow! Smashed into something and got caught on cobbles and I was sure that was the end of one of the wheels and it had snapped off but just some dust to blow away and off we were! Highly durable and highly recommended
I love the suitcase
I love the suitcase, love it.
I had an issue which scared me and if that the locking mechanism failed me once, luckily for me, it failed while it the suitcase was open, I reset the code and all ok.
I did not change the luggage because it never happened again and I am still covered.
Great case
Big dent on first use which is not going to come out.
Excellent Samsonite suitcase, light and strong
Perfect suitcase for a frequent traveler – light and strong with the usual Samsonite top-quality. It’s a very useful size. We have Samsonite case that have traveled very frequently and survived some violent baggage handlers ! The other great thing about Samsonite is that if wheels or catches are damaged, one can buy replacement parts.
Best suitcase i have ever bough
This suitcase is huge! Security combination lock is fantastic very secure and nice vibrant blue colour can’t wait to use it on my holiday this yea
Very good buy & cheaper than the shops!
Have had two of these for 2 years and made quite a few long haul trips which they have survived! The red ones really stand out on the baggage carousel. Wheels make manoeuvring really easy. Other cases may be lighter, but I prefer hard suitcases.
Great quality but would prefer less noisy wheels
Great strong case and no space wasted. Maybe it should be 4.5 stars. The wheels are strong but more plastic than rubber so make more noise than I would like in the street. Also as has no external pocket which is typical for this style when travelling you have nowhere to put passport, boarding pass etc. So to get anything out you have to put it on its side and open it fully. Overall quality very good.

Oddly the label in the middle of the front fell out before first use, needed it the next day so glued it back and it survived first round trip as hold lugage
Great cabin bag.
Bought for my husband, he travels quite a bit and his old cabin bag needed replacing. This is a brilliant case. Seems pricey but it is beautifully made and seems like it’ll last a long time.
Looks fantastic and very lightweigh
definitely worth the money- although it s more expensive than the king size samsonite luggages. The locks on all edges, tight seals instead of zippers and the weight of the lugggage is really good.
Update at 18 months: Despite spending the last 6 months joining me for on at least two flights a week (as checked luggage) it’s happily going strong.
I have now been using this every week for four months for travelling around the UK with my job. I’ll typically be away for four days during the week, and was previously making do with a smaller laptop wheelie bag – but decided to upsize to a larger bag with four wheels to make staying away more comfortable.
I’m extremely happy with this hard (although still flexible) case, it’s suffered only one or two minor scuffs and is easy to clean after being pulled around in the rain, unlike previous fabric cases. It also doesn’t fray or snag like other soft cases do when being taken on/off trains etc.
A few observations:
– It isn’t the lightest. I’m not concerned about this, but a fabric bag will be lighter
– It isn’t the quietest. The wheels are double wheels, and their mounts on the hard case make a lot more noise when dragging than other four wheeled soft suitcases that colleagues have.
– If you are trying to pack a lot in, bear in mind the case isn’t as flexible as a soft case. That said, if you fasten the two end clips first, you can easily clip on the side fastener.
– There are only two storage areas. If you like compartmentalising you will need to buy some packing bags. It would have been nice to have a small pouch for miscellaneous items that you don’t want rattling around in the main areas.
Despite the above, I’m extremely happy with my purchase and would happily buy again.
Absolutely Happy, best quality and on time delivery
Absolutly Happy with My New samsonite suitcase. Very happy the way it was sent and on time. Also around 30 cheaper then House of Fraser as I went there to see the suitcase and be sure about the size and quality…
This is the second one of these we have. We have had the first for a couple of years and when we needed another case we decided that this was our best one for the price. I like the fastenings better than a zip, it is strong and light and easy to wheel.
I would buy another and recommend it.
samsonite suitcase
wont be useing it until sept, but looks good and strong, delivery time was reasonable, albeit nobody contacted me about time of delivery, fortunately I was here to accept delivery, not too sure how wheels will hold up at airport, but its a good name,so fingers crossed
An excellent suitcase which is very light, seals well with a strong 3 point closure system – much better than a zip, which eventually will let you down at some point. Very good value for a samsonite. The combination lock is easy to operate and the various handles are quite comfortable though you won’t do much carrying as the case is a spinner – 4 wheels – and is nicely balanced – I bought two and recently a further one. 5 stars!
Excellent!!!
A really nice piece ok kit -very light, well made and secure. Just what I have always come to expect from Samsonite. It wheels very well on lots of different surfaces whether being used upright or pulled at an angle. Inside its well fitted out with a super padded slot that just takes a laptop VERY securely. Overall you get what you pay for- I have now had to buy another for my wife so be warned!
Easy to move Suitcases
Made from polypropylene so they do mark easily and they do ‘give’ a fair bit when compressed, so I hope they are durable
A light suitcase which can be moved with ease as the four wheels rotate so you can push them along in the upright position or tilt them and pull with an adjustable handle
Easy to open and close with three strong clips and a coded lock
They arrived quickly and delivered by the regular post man which was ideal

Nice luggage, the only think that I didn’t like was that the front part of the case it wasn’t as hard as I expected, is’t more flexible if you press down on it.
Brilliant!!
Delighted with purchase. Delivery was exceptionally quick. The cases were a bit more expensive than we would have liked but you can definitely tell the quality. Comes with 5 year guarantee. Glad we decided to go with Samsonite.

Excellent suitcase.
This is the best suitcase I’ve owned. Very light-weight but robust, and well designed to make maximum use of space. It also wheels very smoothly. Price on Amazon was much lower than in the stores. Highly recommended.

Excellent tough and secure suitcase with handy divider compartments
Excellent tough and secure suitcase with handy divider compartments. As cabin crew i travel most days of the year and samsonite is the only brand of suitcase i would recommend as my last one lasted me 10 years. Since, I have used delsey, american tourister etc and none compare to reliable samsonite.

Reasonably good quality,a little soft on top of case with no frame inside,but otherwise i am happy.
Rock solid and secure case
Had it for almost 2 years now and have used it heavily. What a performer. Rock solid and secure case. Forget about zipped cases and try this one. I wouldn’t use anything else after using this case
Sturdy, beautiful and practical in the best Samsonite tradition. And relatively light for its size, which helps because something this big gets easily filled past airline baggage limitations. I am always worried about four-wheelers because the wheels are often delicate and break off. This one has taken a couple of intercontinental trips and so far, so good…
I’ve had one of these cases for a while and love it so much I bought one for my wife. Mine has traveled around the world (literally) and taken a real beating but the seal remains intact and there is no damage beyond scuffs. The wheels also still rotate nicely. I’d recommend this case in a heartbeat if you do enough travelling to warrant spending the amount of money required.

Just perfect as is lightweigh
Prompt arrival, as described. Just perfect as is lightweight, easy to spot on the carousel and the 4-wheel system makes manoeuvring around easy. There really is plenty of room in this case for a weeks holiday in the sun. I could probably get away with using it for a skiing holiday, holding boots, salopettes and jumpers. Can’t fault the case or seller.
Less rigid than the previous generation but tough enough!
I’m a road warrior. The lightness of this case is good with international flights, the robustness means it still looks good after a few long trips.
Locking mechanism works well, the clasps too bit take some getting used to.
Fantastic lightweight case
Fantastic lightweight case. Bought a samsonite case many years ago and it’s not as light as this one I’ve just bought my partner for her birthday. She’s now gonna buy me a matching one for my birthday. A lot cheaper than in the shops!!!! Thanks Amazo
Delighted with this product which we bought as we were going to USA and needed the required locking system and also for trip to South America where robustness and security are mandatory. Had no issues in setting the security code (as long as you are careful), the mobility is ace even on stroppy pavements and capacity was just right. Scored it 4 because of the lack of webbing on one side which has not been a problem for me personally but my wife preferred to have a zipped pocket on both sides.

I love this bag! I now have two, one for my fiance and one for me.
We are cheap flyers and use Ryanair and EasyJet a lot. this bags are very handy. we fit a weeks worth of clothing in the them, plus electronics like cameras and laptop.
you'll sure get your money's worth
More affordable than in the store. That’s a plus. Overall quality is good. Easy to maneuver. Quality wheels. Inside where the enclose zipped area tends to “thread out”. Have to be cutting smal threading off to ensure it doesn’t pull off everything.
Combination code was easy to activate. Easy to open and close. Gives you that peace of mind that your items are safe and secure.

I have yet to use it, but seems to be perfect. I particularly love how easy it is to move it around thanks to its four smooth wheels. It’s also super light.
The only thing is the guarantee isn’t stamped with the shop’s stamp and date. But that’s something about the vendor, not the luggage.
I have had this case for about half a year now and have done a fair bit of travelling with it. So far, I am loving it. Although this is a big suitcase (make sure you have a fair idea of the size before you order it), it’s still light and very easy to maneuver. I am a fairly small person (compared to this suitcase at least) and yet have not had any issues with wheeling it around. I find it very sturdy, the locks work great and I think it does a good job of keeping water out. When I travel for more than a week I like to pack as much of my wardrobe as I can possibly carry and this suitcase can usually accommodate most of the stuff I am convinced I need to bring with me. I also love the colour (I have the mint blue version).
One word of advice, if you’re not going to pack it full regularly, you should order the smaller size, as this might dent if not packed to the brim. I have had to leave it half empty on a return trip and my pretty suitcase looked pretty sad when I picked it up. The empty side was a bit dent, but luckily went back to its original shape quickly.
Sturdy, easy to manoeuvre
Sturdy, easy to manoeuvre, light and packs a lot in. only thing to be aware of is that it starts moving on trains or buses or any sloped area and there is no way to keep it upright and stationary. need to keep it on its side or just hold on to it. needed to keep an eye on it as it started moving off on a train platform, had to quickly grab hold of it. another point is that there were lots of people who had the exact same one at the airport, so easy to get it mixed up, best to make it distinct with a tag of some sort.
Grea
Love this case size is suitable for my requirements and the colour is exactly as I expected. I haven’t used it yet however if its as good as my previous Samsonite case I will be very satisfied.

Brilliant. Bought on behalf of a friend who is now in her 70’s. She found the case light and easy to manoeuvre. The finish is superb. I have an older version and was impressed with the small improvements made on the side locks, Very good value for money and it will last for years!
Great suitcase.
Great case, strong, light holds an amazing amount. So much I should have got the next size down. Wheels really well and has rubber on the wheels which you need for Venice.
A good size for getting through the weight restrictions at airports
A good size for getting through the weight restrictions at airports, weighed in at 19kg when packed for my journey to the other side of the world 🙂
Sturdy and good security with lock and extra clips on side.
Professional service by Wardow
Great investment, best case we have bought. Excellent quality and excellent value. Product arrived from Germany just 3 days which was exceptional service. The cases were packaged professionally and the items arrived in perfect condition. We will definitely recommend Wardow and be shopping with them again.
Perfect suitcase
Fantastic piece of kit. Used it on trains and planes around Europe and Africa with no issues whatsoever. Good, sturdy construction, combination lock works perfectly (no losing keys to padlocks anymore!) and looks great. So good, in fact, I bought another one in Navy for my girlfriend.
Great product! And amazing price
Great product! And amazing price! Speedy delivery! Iv wanted Samsonite for years and I took the risk in ordering online, but after searching the high street to see what size I needed. I had the positive vibes that it would be great! Also half the price of main retailers
Very sturdy suitcase. Easy to roll
Very sturdy suitcase. Easy to roll. just push a little bit and bingo. Only if your luggage to full,it’s difficult to closed but overall they are fine.

Having had a Samsonite case since 1987 that had travelled the globe & stood up to some serious battering. One time coming back from New York it had tyre tracks over the top & was pretty squashed. I popped open the lock & it instantly went back to shape. So with this type of quality & having seen 4 wheel cases at airports I thought I’d treat myself to the S’cure 81. When it arrived it looked like I’d ordered a wardrobe on wheels as this thing is massive. Anyway despite my best effort not to pack too much it was easily swallowed up in this case. After the outbound trip it arrived pretty scuffed but to be honest I wasn’t too bothered as I expect it to have a hard time on its travels. On the return it was a different story as it looked like someone had used it as a trampoline with the front caved in. I took it over to the baggage damage office at the airport to show them the state of it & said I would open it to see if it reformed like my previous case. On opening the case it stayed as it was. The lady said there was nothing they were going to do & that I should reform it with a hairdryer. To be honest the case is super lightweight & pliable but it was packed to the gills so was hard to squash. After a week of just being left stood in the spare room waiting to go a way in the loft I was surprised to see that it had reformed itself perfectly. One thing I’m not keen on isthe TSA lock either as it sounds they’re really simple to unlock without the special key.
If you like this style of case I would go for the 75 or possibly the smaller 69cm version unless you are taking away a lot of gear. I just think this case will get badly damaged if not totally packed out.
Bought it for my step-daughter to match a larger case we had bought for her a couple of years ago, which it does perfectly and she loves it. This one is cabin friendly so doesn’t need to be checked in for those shorter trips. Tough and well made just like all Samsonite cases!

very nice case, very light. is has 2 internal separators, one fully zip-able and the other side has crossing straps.
It has a lock that looks like it takes a key, I expected a key with the case but this the TSA bit as advertised and used by the security services, so saves damaging the cases.

Certainly meets my expectations, proof of the pudding will be when I actually use it. Looks and feels strong in construction, it will need to be when faced by the baggage handlers. Will post comments after first use..
Have now used it on an American trip. Suffice to say the case stood up well to the abuse it got, judging by some of the unfortunate cases on the carousel. Very easy to handle and very secure with the two side fasteners. One tip to pass on – when they attach the baggage sticky label to the case make sure it adheres well as the surface is slightly dimpled and the label if not firmly attached may come off. Would recommend the case to anybody…
So, overall I think this case is pretty good. Purchased two from Amazon and just used them for a two week tour, four flights and five hotels. Like a lot of reviewers here, I was looking for something to supplement my now ageing collection of Samsonite Oysters (clearly the best suitcase ever made).
Big plus of this case is the excellent mobility – the wheels are great and so far have survived unscathed.
So-so is the robustness – as others have commented, unless the bag is packed fairly solidly it may well come off the line with a big ding in it, but, as others have also commented it will pop back out again. Time will tell how well it lasts, never had that even with a half empty Oyster.
Negative – I should have figured this out before I bought it, it is so obvious, but there you go: this case is hinged in the middle, meaning you pack half your stuff in the “top” and zip the internal cover over it, and half your stuff in the bottom. Meaning you lift everything in the top over to close the bag. All of which is fine, but it means most of the places to put your bag in a hotel will not accommodate it – you can’t put it on a shelf and open the top against a wall. This can be a pain if you are hotel hopping like we were.
Otherwise it is up to the usual standard you would expect from Samsonite, great handle and clasps. Also has the joke TSA lock on it, please don’t tell me you are one of the people who thinks there is a baggage handler anywhere on the planet who can’t open any bag after two weeks on the job – the only purpose of suitcase locks is to reduce the chance of your bag popping open in transit, please remember that and don’t put anything in the hold you can’t easily replace.
The bag weighs about 4kg when empty. With a reasonable mix of clothes, shoes, toiletries and general purpose junk (but no books) it was nudging 20kg so on many airlines that’s your economy class weight allowance, meaning this size is about right for that.
All in all a good case, apart from the kinking and the centre hinge thing which I should have spotted myself – doh!
Clam shell Samsonite case – as per other reviewers I such prefer to zip ones.
Not yet used, but I have an old Samsonite Oyster case and this seems to be as close a replacement as one can get. Looks well made and like it might last just as long (over 10 years).
I’m not that keen on internal dividers so may remove – plastic “clip” fixing so should be possible without breaking anything / leaving “reusable”, but will need to be very careful / take it “slowly”!. However, lower part of this is a zip pocket (look closely at photos) and it’s part of the divider – so may just decide to leave as is / with main area unzipped.
Wheels, etc., look OK for may miles / trips – time will tell !.
No “sticky letters”, etc., came with the case, so you will need to provide such if you want to personalise the outside of the case (hopefully to stop others taking it in error at airport !!).
Weighs c4.2KG, as per description – so quite lightweight, especially for a “solid” case.
Looks like it will protect internal items (almost) as well as the old Oyster case did.
Slide handle frame is always going to be a problem with my Ski boots, etc. – but this one seems better that others I’ve tried.
(Flat “bottom” was one of the major benefits of the old Oyster case – but then that only had 2 wheels and no “slide” handle / TSA lock.)
Main and the two side locking clips look very unlikely to come open on flights (if you slide the “lock” bits on the side ones) – very similar to my old Oyster case and they have never come undone in over 10 years of use.)
If it’s the size / type / price you are looking for, can certainly recommend it.
N.B. difference between this and “deluxe” version is just the internal bits.
but for women they would love it because it is very easy to move about ...
If you want to keep the rain out and stop thieves from picking the lock this suitcase is a MUST. I am a man, but for women they would love it because it is very easy to move about on four wheels.
Both my wife and I got new smaller cases at the same time to comply with what seems to be a tightening up of allowances by some airlines. We did get different colours though, to avoid the risk of cross dressing at our destination. We checked these into the hold on an EasyJet trip but there seemed to be plenty of other passengers with cases of at least equivalent size in the cabin. So far only one trip but both cases performed well and stood up to the rigours of baggage handling with no more than a few scratches. The locks seem robust enough to withstand the risk of them breaking open in transit and the wheels are still on after being dragged over the cobblestones of Florence. The cases are light for their strength so don’t absorb too much of the baggage allowance and they were big enough for us on a one week trip. Overall they live up to the good Samsonite reputation.
Great Suitcase
Had already bought the bigger version 2 years ago so based on my previous experience I bought this carry on version. Very pleased with the qualtiy of these Samsonite suitcases.
but on inspection it looks and feels sturdy. The inside is lined with a cove
I have not yet used it on holiday, but on inspection it looks and feels sturdy. The inside is lined with a cover, and the lock looks very impressive. There are no zips to slide around the case, instead are plastic lugs on each side, also double wheels on four sides. This is one of those “you get what you pay for” items.
Bought from Marken Koffer. Arrived very quickly by DHL and was well packaged, excellent service. It is a very strong looking well constructed case. Moves easily on the double wheel system. Looks good. I would recommend. 29/10 UPDATE: After one summer of use and 5 return short haul flights my impression of this case just gets better . It is showing no signs wear or distress. A useful additional benefit of this case is the 20Kg limit imposed by many airlines. The 20Kg restriction leaves plenty of interior volume so your clothes are not packed too tightly and creasing is minimised. It’s almost fun moving it around the terminal!
Great quality suitcase
Excellent suitcase, so easy to move around, strong and very light. We already had two of the smaller cases in this style so we knew the quality would be good. Cheaper than in the shops.
"What do points make?, Prizes!"
Swift delivery from supplier. This case was for my wife. On inspection, the case looks just the job. No more struggling in the airports with old fashioned 2-wheeler cases. I think I’ll buy another for myself (using my Natwest ‘Yourpoints’ converted into Amazon vouchers of course).
Great value and it is massive
Great value and it is massive. The zip separation meant even if it was full half of the suitcase would stay in place. I put shoes and things on the less full not zipped up side.
Good looking, neat and easy to wheel abou
Very light and strong for its size, quite deep as well.
Good looking, neat and easy to wheel about.
Sent from Italy and delivered faster than most uk postal delivery.
Light and easy to handle. Zipped compartments keep clothes neatly packed away. I already have samsonite cases but this one is lighter and has benefit of four wheels
Brilliant luggage
Not a good inside as the DIX Spinner but just as strong and easy to move around as the Dix Spinner.
You know your belongings are safe and that your case will last for years and still be as good.
Price fantastic as well.
TOOK THIS TO AMERICA AND IT HAS RETURNED INTACT. WONDERFULLY LIGHT AND SPACIOUS COMPARED TO OUR OTHER SAMSONITE SPINNER, AND DOESNT LOOK BIGGER. ABLE TO FIT EIGHT DAYS OF CRUISE CLOTHES IN IT EASILY. ZIPPED SECTION MUCH BETTER THAN THE USUAL CLIPPED COMPARTMENT. MOVED VERY EASILY EVEN WITH A FLIGHT BAG OVER THE HANDLES RESTING ON TOP. HUSBAND NOW WANTS ONE.
Samsonite are great quality suitcases and to get one at this price is fantastic. It has already been well used and is still in great condition. Colour is lovely and it comes with its guarantee.
Arrived promptly and well packaged. Thank you!
Highly recommend
The suitcase was every bit as good as I had expected, the delivery was really quick and the driver very friendly, however the box was soaking wet and if there was anything other than a waterproof suitcase inside there would have been damage done, it wasn’t so everybody’s happy!
