Winfield 2 Hardside Expandable Luggage with Spinner Wheels, Brushed Anthracite, Checked-Large 28-Inch

I travel often for work and fun. Often times I drive when I travel and to be fair I have not taken this suitcase through an airport YET, however I will and update my review accordingly. Edit: I have used this now for at least 5 domestic and 1 international trip and although it’s a little scuffed up, it still look very new and lightly used. I also can fit so much stuff in it and it fits the bag requirements for the airlines I travel. This suitcase packs a lot of items for being so lightweight and unassuming. I am able to put everything I need into this suitcase and still have room for more! Although I am an experienced packer, I still pack a lot, including my heavy steel toed boots. This suitcase is also very durable and sleek. I like that the wheels glide over many different surfaces with ease, and is not likely to tip over due to how sturdy it is! I find that there are a lot of different types of Samsonite luggage, and I found that this particular line got a lot of marks for durability. I also appreciate the affordability for my price range. I do believe you get what you pay for and I know that luggage can get destroyed by airlines, so I wanted to opt for a nicely made suitcase as opposed to one that strictly based on the cost. I find that the suitcase is well made and durable.

I’ve been using this luggage for almost 3 years now and have taken it on multiple overseas trips. It’s picked up some scuffs and scratches along the way, but that’s to be expected — it’s still strong, durable, and handles travel really well. I travel solo with two of these and use them across planes, trains, and cars. They roll smoothly and are easy to push or pull. When packed overweight, they can be a bit harder to manage, but at around 50 lbs (23 kg), they perform perfectly. Excellent quality for the price — definitely recommend!

Beautiful suitcase. Finish almost looks like Liquid Metal, very cool. Took it on the first flight and it did great. It rolls beautifully and holds a lot of items without going over the 50lbs. We did get a cover for it because it’s a darker, shinier finish and could show scratches.

This bag rolls like a dream! If you let go of it on a hill it would just keep going forever. Great suitcase, but do keep in mind that it’s beautifully shiny and baggage handlers will take that as a challenge and the very first time you see your bag on the baggage carousel you will not believe it’s yours. The first trip will look like it’s 10th. Very sad; it was beautiful for a minute.

Love the quality of Samsonite, love the fast shipping from seller!

I bought this suitcase (28 inch) for a trip to Asia in 2015. It’s journeyed to a number of countries and continents since (and survived a lot of shorter domestic legs full of holiday gifts, thanks to the expansion zipper feature). Sadly, it is now retiring to the great luggage belt in the sky due to a fracture along the base of the front hard shell. However, given the cost (I think I paid the current sale price of around $200), the mileage it has, and the seven years it’s traveled, that is a very acceptable life span, and I recommend this bag. A few notes after many years of use: -The hard shell did a fantastic job protecting contents. I love to shop and collect china and ceramics - I wrapped things up well before putting them in this suitcase and not one thing ever arrived broken. Even after it developed some give in the front shell, and was prone to pop in - this started after a recent trip when I can only assume it was pretty violently handled. -The bag is very light for its size to help with airline weight restrictions. -It’s pretty maneuverable. Newer Samsonites have smoother, easier wheels, but these still did the job and never broke. -The exterior on the silver gray didn’t overly show wear and tear. Although really anything but a fabric bag is going to show the abuse these bags receive. Unlike a fabric bag, this one has kept everything nice and dry on airline baggage carts parked in rain. -It’s an easier shape/design to spot on a luggage carousel than most bags, which is a nice bonus. -Excellent zippers. I have maxed bag capacity out on a number of occasions and the zippers have performed perfectly.

I travel a LOT for work. And I'm an over-packer. So this is the perfect bag for me. First off, it looks quite fab...the eggplant purple color looks better in person and is quite unique and stylish. This has been on 4 round trips cross country with me now and tho scratched up a bit and lost her little "Samsonite" label tag (sad face), she's otherwise in great shape and appears ready for anything. I have dragged my little travel companion here over rocky parking lots, gravel, cobblestones, dodgy carpets, up and down endless escalators, up and down concrete hotel stairs, lugged her into and out of innumerable taxis and rental cars...and she's still in prime shape, ready for her next adventure. No problems ever with zipper or wheels or general sturdiness AT ALL. Very lightweight! Wheels being spinners take all the pressure off you so no pulling or pushing...it's like walking a well behaved little dog that trots alongside you. Love the "expander" that lets you pack more stuff than you planned! They zip down if not needed too. Great feature. Last week I took this to San Fran for a 3 day trip and it held WITH expander open all this: gym bag completely filled with gym gear and shoes, 2 pairs calf length boots, 1 pair regular heels, 3 extremely bulky sweaters, 3 pairs jeans, pajamas, couple t-shirts, necessities, a bubble wrapped glass candle to scent the hotel room, makeup bag approximately 12" x 12" x 3" (it takes a Village...!) and more stuff - and I STILL had a bit of room left. Note that I didn't "roll up" clothes - just folded some and others just "stuffed in" as I was on the rush. So if you did it properly and cared about such things, I'm sure it could hold a small closet especially if it were just your summer clothes. On one non business trip, we packed a King sized blanket and pillow in one and a giant leaf blower in another one with 2+ foot lengths of driftwood jammed in as well, no problems. Yes. It's amazing what this can handle. Only downside is this thing IS huge. If expander is open, I hate using escalators bc it gets a bit dodgy sitting on the little step correctly - so I just use elevators then, no issue It might just be me who finds this tricky tho. Hoisting it into and out of my rental car is always is fun but that's true of any giant bag like this. Wish it wouldn't scratch so much but that's true of all hard shell bags also and it doesn't mar how cute it is. I LOVE the purple eggplant color! Still looking good after lots of abuse and scratching really isn't so bad considering all the flights this thing has been on and the abuse I've subjected her to. It's always the ONLY hard shell purple case on the baggage carousel so very easy to look for. As I can't be bothered to figure out the lock it came with, I just use my regular luggage lock and it works perfectly all together. If you need a BIG bag that's sturdy and reliable, and looks fab as well, this is the One!

We ordered this while on vacation in kind of an emergency since the last piece of luggage I was using finally got destroyed by the Baggage Handlers and airlines/airports. It came 2 days before we were scheduled to fly from LAX to IAD. When I opened it up in the room, fresh out of the box, it had (still has) a 2" dent in the upper corner. This seems to have been done at the factory, since I couldn't simply push the dent out with my fingers. I was pretty upset about the fact it came this way from the factory, or got damaged somewhere along the way. We could not return it because there was no way we were going to get a replacement in time to fly out. So, we were forced to use it. The 2" dent did not prevent me from using the suitcase, however, it pretty much destroyed any faith I had in the product from then on. After packing it well, and full, we dropped it off at the airport, like it was new. When I picked it up off the conveyor belt at the other end, it's now got 2 HUGE dents on one side. I can't even push them out with my hand. I'm trying to figure out how much force was applied to this thing where I can't even push it back out with my hands, and yet it was full inside. Fortunately we use plastic bags for storing shower gel and other toiletries, because there was SO much force used to crush this thing that it popped open a bottle of shower gel in a plastic bag. The plastic bag was also sealed before being packed, and even that seal was broken open from the force applied to the luggage while in transit. I spent hours shopping for specific types of luggage, size, weight, toughness, and read hundreds of reviews, and finally decided on this one, because for the price and how it fit my needs, it was the right one at the time. Originally, after seeing pictures and reviews both good and bad, I was worried that it wouldn't make it one trip with all of it's wheels. When it arrived in baggage claim, I retrieved it, only to find two massive dents on one side, as I previously mentioned. This piece of luggage does NOT live up to the Samsonite name. It is going to be returned as it is now, with huge dents in it. ONE FLIGHT. That's it. ONE. and it's crushed. From now on I'll just stick to fabric style of luggage, or get something a little heavier and far more durable... if that's even possible. Pictures shown are after the flight, and the 2" dent from the factory.

It felt very flimsy. The color was very beautiful and wonderful details second to none. But I am not sure it will stand up to the abuse it will indure while in transit.

Leggera,resistente costruita molto bene,consigliata a quelli che viaggiano molte volte,durata eccezionale.

Excelente producto , resistente y duradero , solo hay que comprar una cubierta para la maleta ya que se raya muy fácilmente

So far so good it made it with no damage or scratches from Canada to Ft Lauderdale and this was on two separate flights. The actual luggage looks amazing and easy to travel with. It has large compartments and will hold a lot of luggage. It also arrived on the day it was suppose to. The only thing weird was the delivery. One suitcase was delivered by Purolator and the other one came by Canada Post, I am not too sure why but in the end they arrived and I like them.

Im regulären Verkauf wird das Modell immer zwischen 300-400€ bei Amazon gelistet, gekauft habe ich den Koffer als er, warum auch immer, für etwas über 100€ gelistet war und da konnte ich nicht anders und habe bestellt. Das Teil ist riesig und man wird wirklich für 2 Wochen bequem Wäsche hineinbekommen. die Optik ist top und sieht modern chic aus. Die Rollen sind leichtläufig, der Griff stabil und der Koffer hat ein angenehm geringes Eigengewicht, das kommt im Fall eines Flugs natürlich dem Gepäck zugute das man deswegen zusätzlich einpacken kann. Unsere Flugreisen haben sich mittlerweile massiv reduziert, aber auch im Auto packe ich gerne einen Koffer, da man es gut im Kofferraum verstauen kann und dabei habe ich keinerlei Bedenken was die Langlebigkeit betrifft. Auch bei Flugreisen eigentlich nicht, da hängt es am Ende ja davon ab wie gut die jeweiligen Mitarbeiter ihren Job machen und Gepäckstücke angemessen behandeln. Zum Vollpreis zahlt man mir den Namen "Samsonite" zu viel, aber im Angebot kann der Koffer meiner Ansicht nach bedenkenlos gekauft werden!
