SamsoniteAscella X Softside Expandable Luggage with Spinners, Teal, 2PC SET (Carry-on/Medium)

We already have Samsonite luggage and travel by air a lot, which is why I went for more Samsonite luggage when we needed another suitcase to check for an upcoming trip.First, if you aren’t a well seasoned air traveler, let me tell you that the junky American Traveler suitcases do NOT hold up like these. So if you are debating brands, get this one.Second, if you are NOT debating brands and rather debating sizes, I will say I’m a little nervous about our purchase. We bought this 29” checked bag. I already had what I thought was the “large” checkable bag from Samsonite… see the black suitcase in the picture. This black suitcase can hold about exactly 50lbs when stuffed pretty full as long as you don’t go heavy on the bricks. For this reason, I absolutely loved this size. I have never had an issue with making it overweight, which is nice to not have to stress out about that. Our airline we fly with a lot has a weight limit of 55lbs and 62”. Unfortunately I must have some measuring problems, because this suitcase is a few inches too big. I’m not sure if we will have to pay extra for oversized luggage or not… In taking probably 100 flights in my life, I’ve only had an airline MEASURE (not weigh) luggage once… and it was hand luggage. And it was a maiden voyage.I think the size is very noticeable and awkward to move around. I think lifting is going to be rough. And even though we can pack 55lbs vs 50lbs, I think we wont be able to fill this very full, which is actually probably going to shorten its lifespan - getting crushed in transport etc. Fingers crossed this works out.

This is a great suitcase. Easy to roll. Holds a lot. And the color stands out from all the others going around the moving belt.😀

Ok, when you get down to it, the inside of a carry-on suitcase is pretty the same with every bag. There's only so much space to work with inside. It's the handle that matters to me. I have had such a hard time finding a suitcase handle that will stay put when I lower or raise the handle. This one has done what it should! I accidentally ordered two, the maroon one and a green one. I'm going to keep both. You always need extra suitcases!

Great quality and light weight

This luggage is of “value for money”. Material quality is good. One minor point is that it does not have built-in lock and users must use a handy lock 😅

My first online suitcase purchase wasn't what I was looking for. Too small. Despite my best efforts trying to deduce which sizes are the maximum carry-on size, I messed up on my first attempt so changed up to this brand who got me there. It is the best suitcase I've ever had and have practiced some spinning moves when at the airport due to it's great maneuverability. Passes time nicely and I'm getting pretty good at my moves.

So I got this a year ago and bought it because I had other Samsonite luggage that I’ve had for a good 10 years. This set doesn't live up yo Samsonite quality and stuck with it at this point.First one of the zipper pulls just came right off as if I shaved it off when I pulled it. Then another pulled tab came off and finally a third one came off.I started the warranty process amd sent pictures. They said I had to deliver the luggage to one of their dealers, which is about 40 minutes away from me, amd then they would charge me $20 to ship it yo NY. After contacting them I was told I could pay to ship it to them directly. If they found it didn’t fall under the warranty I would have to pay to have it shipped back in for the repair.I sent them pictures and yet they still couldn’t tell me if it fell under warranty the idea of having to pay at least $40 to ship it back-and-forth for them to tell me if it under warranty was insane I’ll be better off buying new suitcases.

Great investment. This is the second piece of Samsonite luggage that I’ve owned. These pieces stand the test of time, wear and tear… Remember the gorilla in the vintage commercials trying to break the Samsonite luggage? Turns out to be true, it’s very durable and attractive luggage that can take a serious beating by owners and baggage handlers (and still look and perform like new)… Love the multidirectional wheels, which I think is its best feature. The luggage comes in all sizes and most colors. I’ll be loyal to the brand for years to come.
