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.

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.

Purchased the Platinum Elite medium check-in bag about a month ago. Finally got to use it. What an awesome bag! I used the lid part with 5 shirts and hangers. Also packed about 2 days prior..when I unpacked the shirts, hung them directly in the closet and no wrinkles! I also used the Travelpro compression cubes, WOW! What a difference. In the large one I put in feed, 2 pair Docker pants, 2 pair of shorts, 4 other shirts. When I unpacked these, also, no wrinkles! The reason I am impressed is that I have been traveling for about 13 years in my home state for work. I have over 1,000 nights at Marriott. I was using another suitcase that also worked real well, but I rolled all my clothes. That does work, but I fit so much more in the suitcase with the compression cubes! Amazing! Wish I discovered these earlier as I retire in 5 months. I purchased the Travelpro Platinum Elite as a gift for myself as we plan to travel internationally quite a bit. This suitcase is well made, love the leather trim and handles, and the wheels are amazing. I also researched Briggs and Riley. This bag is as good, if not better that the Briggs and Riley ZDX line, and half the cost. For the Platinum Elite, Travelpro has a lifetime warranty like Briggs and Riley. But for their soft side Platinum Elite only. Others have shorter warranties. I would recommend this bag, their Platinum Elite International Carry-on, and their 27L Platinum Elite backpack to anyone looking for a quality product that does not break the bank!
