Base Boost Spinner Check-in Suitcase, 78 cm

The Samsonite Base Boost Spinner L Expandable Suitcase has proven to be the ultimate travel companion. With a generous capacity of 105/112.5 litres, this suitcase effortlessly accommodated all my essentials for a long trip. The expandable feature was a game-changer, allowing me to bring back souvenirs without worrying about space.In terms of durability, the suitcase's build is top-notch. The black color exudes sophistication and doesn't easily show wear and tear. The spinner wheels glided effortlessly through airports and streets, making navigation a breeze. The telescopic handle felt sturdy and comfortable to grip.Inside, the organization options are well thought out. The various compartments and pockets kept my belongings neatly organized, preventing any unnecessary rummaging. The straps to secure clothing and prevent wrinkles were an added bonus.Samsonite's attention to detail truly shines in the Base Boost Spinner L. It's evident that they've designed this suitcase with both style and practicality in mind. From its sleek appearance to its functionality, this suitcase has exceeded my expectations. Whether you're a frequent traveler or embarking on a big adventure, this suitcase is an investment that won't disappoint.

I bought this suitcase for a 3 week tour holiday involving long-haul flights, internal flight and coach transfers and a crowded bullet train journey. It survived unscathed and I was very pleased with my choice.For me, it offered the right blend of sufficient room, sturdiness and lightness (after initially considering a number of different suitcases in store, I realised there is a trade-off between lightness and strength).For a case this large, I found having 4 wheels made life much easier vs 2 wheels when wheeling the case in airports and up/down ramps.The true test will be how this suitcase wears after several trips (I've had my old, smaller 2 wheel Antler case for years, but it was too small and heavy for this trip), but it was ideal for this particular holiday.

Having travelled the world routinely on business, had multiple gold frequent flier cards simultaneously, and owned Tumi, Travelpro and other premium brands, I've finally settled on Samsonite as my luggage of choice. Why? Excellent quality that matches those other brands but at a reasonable price. I have a hard shell carry-on and a suit carrier bought in 1996 that refuse to die and still look good.But my last family-size softshells - bought in 2004 - finally gave up the ghost this year after sterling service on all holidays across a number of continents, so a replacement set was needed.So having bought three of these and taken them to NYC for a family holiday, I can report that Samsonite continue to be my luggage of choice.Here's why. Firstly, excellent construction. These have a tough polycarbonate base and back frame that, with the wire soft frame, provide a case you'd feel comfortable packing fragile items, albeit padded by clothes. We managed to bring back some really nice Chinese earthenware without probems. They also look cool, typically unostentatious Samsonite. The outer skin is hard-wearing yet good looking and the expansion facility is genuinely useful. This is finished with a slick TSA-compliant lock that makes each zipper pull do double duty as locking tabs. Neat.Secondly, they carry and travel with ease. The pull out aluminium tow bar is reassuringly rigid and positive in action; the wheels simply glide effortlessly whether vertical or tilted; even the side carry handle is well thought out, being highly comfortable, yet distributing the strain to the frame, rather than the side of the case.But finally, it does all this while being light - and I mean very very light. These are amongst the lightest in class. With air travel nowadays having almost everything as an optional extra, and the gradual erosion of luggage allowances, this was a huge boon for us, allowing us to pack two weeks of luggage yet still have both the space and weight allowance left over to get everything under our 23kg allowance upon return (with the usual carry-on canniness in packing). ;)What's not to like? Well, they're not "fashionable". Sure they look sleek and classy, but they don't stand out. Not important for me. And maybe you could say the style is a little anonymous. But frankly, after so many years of travel, I no longer care.So, another excellent product. I'll give it a perfect 5 stars after 5 years use.

I've had this suitcase for 3 years now, it's been throughout Japan, South Africa, America and Europe and still seems to be doing well. It's super lightweight, giving you some extra room to bring back an extra bottle of wine. It's also slightly expandable, extremely easy to manoeuver and quiet. I was debating between a hard shell and fabric, but I'm glad I chose this one.

Well designed lightweight suitcase ideal for foreign travel. Robust build and stylish. Internal compartments well designed with straps for main compartment, a zipped compartment in the lid and another internal compartment for small items. There are also 2 external compartments that can be locked with a padlock. The main compartment has an integrated combination lock that is easy to set. The 4 wheels are very stable and enable the suitcase to be either pulled by the integrated handle or pushed along. I have used the case to travel abroad and am very impressed by the design and build quality. Not cheap but worth the money.

If I'd been able to leave a zero star review, I would have done. This suitcase has a RRP of £200. I bought it three years ago. It has been on five trips and the TSA lock has now broken. I bought this item because of the TSA lock. It has a five year warranty so I checked out the Samsonite website to find out about repairing the zip and the website said it was too complicated to do it so I should contact customer service. I did and received this response:"Thank you for contacting Samsonite.I am sorry the spare part is out of stock at the moment, However this will be back on our system mid june.We will keep your case under review once back in stock I will send this out."I was surprised at the poor grammar in this email from a representative of a big company but there are also many grammatical errors on their website. I didn't understand why there was any mention of a spare part considering the website said the repair couldn't be done.I wrote back to point out that the website said the product should not be repaired but should be brought to a service place and this was the response,"I am sorry we do not advise to repair it yes your self however it is easy as u pull the hook up and slide out the old and slide new in and then press down.However if you are not comfortable to repair your self you are more then entitled to send to the service centre or visit any of our Samsonite store."What an excellent representation of the company! Absolute garbage and also to suggest that I bend the metal to remove and replace the pull tab and then bend it back would surely negate the warranty and would also weaken the zip pull.I would not recommend this suitcase or any product from this company and I will definitely not purchase from them again.

Product was perfect for my holiday. The lock was very good and was not flimsy like some other brands. Samsonite Base Boost Spinner was a great choice and a brand I am able to trust. I will certainly be sticking to this brand in future. Since purchasing I have used this case for at least 3 holidays. It's light and very durable. Just wish the wheels had some kind of brake system to stop the case rolling away when on an incline/decline or when travelling on the train. All in all it is definitely still a good purchase. Thumbs up!

Great quality very light very spacey💖👏👌

Solide et très légère, maniable avec ses 4 roues pivotantes, c'est ma valise de prédilection. De plus la toile est solide et ne s'abîme pas facilement malgré les frottements lors de voyages longs avec transferts.Avec une capacité importante pour le transport des affaires c'est un combiné idéal pour partir en vacances! Je recommande!

Ich habe mir die Koffer vor meinem Urlaub bestellt und bin wirklich sehr zufrieden. Sie sind angenehm leicht und lassen sich super einfach schieben, selbst wenn sie voll gepackt sind. Die Rollen laufen sehr ruhig und flüssig, was das Reisen deutlich entspannter macht besonders am Flughafen. Auch die Verarbeitung wirkt hochwertig und stabil. Der Innenraum ist gut aufgeteilt und bietet ausreichend Platz. Insgesamt machen die Koffer einen sehr robusten Eindruck und sehen zudem noch modern aus. Ich würde sie definitiv wieder kaufen und kann sie klar weiterempfehlen.

I abuse suitcases, and so I am happy to report that this is still going strong a year later.
