4010 Softside

Good carry on size. It stood up to multiple transatlantic trips and an RT transcontinental flt , a few times as checked luggage. Enough room for me (as an average sized male) for a week if you also have a small personal item you can chuck some of your gear in. That it doesn't expand is good because it's a very stable platform whilst rolling through airports. The Handle , this is where it falls off the cliff unless you figure it out. Don't try to over pack it and you're laughing. I'd most likely spend a bit more and get the Travel Pro 19 inch spinner.

Overall, I am super happy with this purchase and would consider buying other bags on the same line to replace my other aging luggage. I've only taken this on one trip, but it did involve a ton of walking on streets (rough, bumpy) and within metro stations & airport terminals. It was very smooth - I had trouble keeping it stable when pushing, but this is my first 4-wheeled bag. No issues with the bag itself. I do see some marks on it after this trip but they look like ones that would wipe off. Minor issues, really. It was roomy and functional, and lightweight so I could heft it up stair cases when fully loaded.

I had a very large and a very small suitcase but had been looking for something in the middle. I looked at various products but there are not many options for the middle. This size was perfect and it held up well during its first trip. It has some nice features like an inside pocket and wheels that roll easily. I also like the telescopic handle which is also a good height for me.

I ordered this suitcase to take on a 2-week bus tour, and we hoped to just take the one suitcase for my husband and I. The first one that came was really beaten up during shipping and arrived very dented and scuffed. I ordered a replacement, which arrived promptly and wasn't AS beat up, but was still dented and scuffed. As we started to pack, we quickly realized that we wouldn't be able to pack everything in one suitcase, so I decided to take both on the trip. And, even though they didn't look too great, they both performed like champs. They came home after 2 airplane trips and being tossed on and off a bus for 2 weeks looking exactly the same as when they left. The big dent in the first one did make it a bit hard to zip up sometimes, but it always did zip with a bit of perseverence. So, if you order this suitcase, just give yourself plenty of time to order before you need it, just in case you need to order a replacement or two. Now, on to a discussion about their performance. These suitcases are very light and maneuverable, and were easy to push around varioius hotels and the airports. The lifting handle on mine liked to collapse. The button on the top was maybe a little too sensitive? And I felt that it didn't really lock into place firmly in either the low or high position. It got quite annoying by the end of the trip, but it did fine with my carryon there as I pushed it around. The suitcase holds a lot, and it is expandable if you need a bit of extra space on your trip. It theoretically has two front pockets. However, we quickly found out it is actually just 1 pocket that covers the entire front of the suitcase and two zippers to get into it. That seems very strange to me. In other suitcases, I have used the small front pocket for handy access to small toiletries but in this case, any small toiletries would fall all the way down to the bottom of the pocket and be hard to retrieve. Additionally, for me at least, I thought the handle on the side seemed weirdly placed and when I tried to use it to heft it up on the bed, it was actually worse than just grabbing the wheel and the handle on top. So, that wasn't great. But, maybe that was just me. I'm left handed and sometimes that makes things unexpectedly awkward. In conclusion, this is a basic suitcase without a lot of bells and whistles on the inside or outside, but it is also only a moderate price, so I think it is a good deal for what you spend. I was definitely impressed with its durability and how easy it is to push around. I'm not sure how long the suitcases will last since they are already both dented, but for the moment, I don't regret my purchase.

Great medium sized bag. I need a checked bag that wasn’t massive but still holds a week or two worth of stuff not packing light. Sturdy and rolls well. Held up to be dragged around Europe. Lightweight

The very first time this piece made it's journey in the belly of the plane, the telescoping handle was damaged by something bending the square tracks. The handle is not longer usable because it cannot be extended. The damage is unfixable because the extrusion is creased by the bend. The telescoping system should have been better protected from outside damage. It is no secret that airline employees TRY to damage luggage after all.

We’re taking a trip in on Air Canada which happens to have strict carry on dimensions that are smaller than what’s allowed with most airlines. My husband was able to fit approximately 15 items of clothing, flip flops, and a pair of dress shoes. We are sharing one checked bag, and always worry about the checked luggage getting lost. This is a perfect solution to take a few outfits in case checked luggage is delayed. The handle sticks a bit and requires a little finesse to get it back down, but once you figure it out it works fine. The material is sturdy and there are a few useful pockets for toiletries or other small items.

Purchased a discounted In Box unit that I assume was a return. The unit is just under 62” dimensions overall and very light in the 8 pound range. The top zippered front pocket is full length and extends behind the lower zippered front pocket. So very long and flat things can be put into the top zippered front pocket. The rest is pretty standard. “I haven’t used it in a trip yet” Looks comparable to my TravelPro MaxLite and as light and better built than my Amazon Basic luggage handle that broke. Update: I continue to like the 27”and have now used it on a couple trips. One by car and one by plane. It’s big as practical and holds 50 pounds snugly. No extra space and not super compressed and not via expansion zipper so just right. I like the light weight of the 27” bag. I think ths is better than the expensive well advertised brands because of the equal performance at a lower price.

This carry-on is the perfect size for the tight WestJet restrictions, and it fits in the sizer no problem! It is quite small, but I was somehow able to squeeze 7 days of clothes in here and didn't even need to check a bag. It moves around well (the wheels are 360 degrees), and it was super comfortable to pull along with me through the airport.

Hermosa y super practica no pesa es muy ligera

Perfect size. Excellent quality. Ideal as an overnight bag and also for trips travelling to Europe. Love it.

La devolví, porque no es tan robusta como otras. Tiene pocos remaches en las agarraderas, así que no se ve muy sólida. No es mala, pero no es lo que esperaba. Me sorprendió, porque es mi primera maleta SwissGear que no se ve de construcción fuerte.

The good: this fit perfectly for air Transat carry on specs (and she made us try it in the caddy)… it fit well. The bad: we bought two, and one had a faulty handle that kept jamming up or down… it was such a pain! The case is quite small and my personal item on top kept tipping it over. But it was fine when in motion and I was holding it up.
