    Advantages Advantages Hard wearing, holds lots

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    When it comes to luggage in my opinion the Samsonite cases are some of the best you can buy. When you see what airlines do to your suitcases, i.e. throw them around, bumping them, crashing into other luggage, trolleys etc you know you really need a bag that wills hand up to heavy handling and be able to keep your stuff inside protected. The Samsonite case we have is a Graphite Termo black case. This Samsonite is definitely hard wearing and tough. We have used it for a number of airline journeys now and although its got a couple of scrapes on it it does not have any dents or proper damage and I ... more

    Advantages Advantages superb quality, will last for years

    Disadvantages Disadvantages expensive, i feel that the 82cm size is too big

    I definitely think that you get what you pay for with luggage, especially luggage that will see quite a lot of use. This has been the first time that we've had Samsonite suitcases and it won't be the last. We have 2 of the Samsonite Aeris Comfort Spinner suitcases. We have had them for about 4 years now, and they have been on around 40 or so return flights, and they have been on removal trucks and ferries many times as well. Suffice to say they have had an awful lot of use! We bought them when we were living in Sweden and one of the reasons that we chose Samsonite was the 10 year global ... more

    Advantages Advantages quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages cost

    If you want something that's going to last you forever and if you want to get quality luggage, go for SAMSONITE. You may be thinking that you are going to be spending a bomb on something that is totally uneccessary a total peripheral to your travels but let me tell you that investing in a samsonite is going to save you more moeny than you think. I only wish I could have gotten mine a little earlier just to save more money. The last trip I took to London was three years ago and I had to lug this huge luggage around that first of all did not look glamorous at all and secondly had a detached ... more

    Advantages Advantages light

    Disadvantages Disadvantages everything else

    Samsonite Starwalker Cheap very thin plastic shell, no security (all round zipper with 3 digit combo lock) very flexable. Fabric zip cover bound to get caught on baggage handling equipment. Costs way too much (far more than Delsey), looks just like the stuff they sell in Woolworths at £20 for a set. Do you realy want to look this common and have luggage thats almost certain to fail quickly. If you travel occasionaly and then by car/coach its probably OK but if you travel by air this is clearely not intended for you, its way too fragile and thin to stand any chance of stsnding up to any ... more

    Advantages Advantages I want to narrow down the best options for suitcases out there

    Disadvantages Disadvantages This review may seem a bit brand bias. What I have to say is based purely on experience.

    As a busy business woman frequently travelling, spending days, sometimes months, living out of a suitcase, I have come to rely on the importance of good travel baggage. I want to make this review to the point. High priced,designer,leather luggage looks beautiful but that it all it is good for, to be admired. Never attempt to put it through luggage check in for a long haul. The same goes for material cases, even the more pricey ones will maybe give you one or two years constant use but then they lose structure. Nothing quite stands up to hard plastic cases. Plastic cases really have come a long ... more

    1 Star Quick review of Samsonite Suitcases by gschroed 11/08/2007
    I bought a 4-wheel trolley Samsonite Nozomi four years ago. First, when packed, it tended to fell over. Although I did not travel a lot, the first wheel broke soon and was replaced. Now the second wheel broke. Samsonite told me that the wheel cannot be replaced any more. That is a shame in quality and service.

    Advantages Advantages None

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor quality

    I travel a great deal for work and have an old Samsonite suitcase (hard back, soft front) which I happily used for 5 hard years. The quality of the old suitcase was great so I automatically went to Samsonite to purchase a new bag. They use to be very well made (strong zippers, high quality fabrics) but the overall product has greatly deteriorated since the last time I purchased a bag. My "new" $300 Samsonite suitcase has zippers that jam, a broken handle (happened 3 weeks after purchase), fabric that stains easily... and to make matters worse, poor customer service (rude and unprofessional) ... more
