i love this little suitcase. on long tips it makes the experience so much better because you can push it around airports and you can even put a small computerbag or backpack on it.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2024I love how light this suitcase is. That was reason #1 for me. The bonus is that it’s so pretty and the color makes it easy to spot on the baggage carousel. It’s small but roomy. I like the various sizes of the outside pockets. I found them very useful for quick access. Lastly, I brought this on a 3-week international trip. This thing took a beating on cobblestones and dragged up and down stairs, tugged, pulled, and thrown on trains and busses, not to mention being overstuffed. The zippers, stitching, wheels, fabric, and handle all passed the abuse without a flinch. This is a well-made product that I am proud to own that will add to my travel enjoyment. Incidentally, my friend had a different well-known brand of luggage that gave her fits the entire trip. I saw first hand how much frustration uncooperative wheels and telescoping handles can cause. Just pay the extra few dollars and eliminate the frustration. It’s sooooo worth it and I believe the quality and durability will pay for itself in the end.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2025Size: Carry-on 21-InchColor: BlackVerified PurchaseI've owned TravelPro luggage and was looking for a spinner carryon. Initially I was looking at the Crew Classic line, but settled on the Maxlite5 because the Crew Classic didn't go on enough of a sale price while I was in the market.
TravelPro makes a few different entry lines, sold through various stores. The Maxlite 5 is probably the most known entry level line. I'm a TravelPro fan, but to be honest, the Maxlite 5 line is only average for its price point. Better than anything you'll find at WM, but about on par with name brands at Target and other department stores. I couldn't find anything wrong with the Maxlite 5 and any quality shorts are the same as I see on Samsonite or other big names.
The case rolls well (considering single wheels) and is assembled good enough. Light weight as advertised. Behind the lining you will see some of the padding sort of haphazardly applied and the thread ends are not trimmed up. Again, on par with similar price point luggage. The size might seem slightly small, but use packing cubes and choose what you pack wisely and you will be fine.
If you want to experience why TravelPro is considered much better than average luggage brand, step to the Crew Classic or if you have money to spend, Platinum Elite. The Crew Classic is probably the best bang for your buck for anyone traveling a several times a year, but not a serious road warrior.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2019I bought the 'TravelPro Maxlite 5' luggage: 19-inch International carryon roller and 18" under-the-seat shoulder bag carryon. Love it. If you pack it right, you can actually pack for up to a 3-week trip between the two.
Note that I studied how to pack prior to my trip. I'll share what I was able to pack in a moment. I used this lightweight set (5.3 pounds- truly lightweight!) with other very functional items to optimize packing:
1. Compression Packing Cubes (two medium, one small + one packing 'tube' for socks and undergarments) made of lightweight parachute, water-resistant material (Eagle Creek 2-zipper system- you don't need to use a vacuum)
2. One travel garment bag for my business clothes (one Eagle Creek - large. Made of same ligjtweight parachute material with lightweight folding board tool + velcro straps to compress clothes and keep them pretty much wrinkle-free)
3. Two single-pair shoe bags (Eagle Creek -they're aerated plastic covered in small mesh black netting)
4. Cofreya travel-sized, silicon gel bottles that don't burst under pressure in high altitudes- and are airline approved for size).
By rolling clothes (except those in the garment bag), I was ankle to pack:
a. 3 dresses
b. 2 skirts
c. 1 pair of pants
d. 2 yoga 'sweats' outfits including both tops and pants
e. 2 pullover sweaters (wore one on plane)
f. pajamas
g. 2 additional leggings + 2 camisoles
h. 1 pair leather pumps
I. over-the-ankle leather dress boots
j. 1 pair Uggs boots (wore these on plane)
k. accessories- 2 full-sized scarves, packable purse to use during the trip, mittens, ear muff etc.
I. 3 turtleneck tops
m. 3 camisole tops
o. Small - lightweight business briefcase 'envelope'
p. electronics: small tablet, phone, etc.
...all that AND a bag of chips and small snacks! (and no, I didn't end up using the expandable zippered area of the luggage).
Note: To prolong the parade of clean clothes, I also packed Travelon & Tide travel laundry detergent + Travelon travel bathtub laundry clothesline (no clothes pins needed) and quickly sink-washed items each night).
Anyway, just sharing the details to show the capability - (and packability) of these 2 bags when using the right tools.
The bags themselves are high quality and have a warranty. The pretty, dusty rose color I bought is wonderful AND it's easy to spot should someone other than you decide to take your luggage.
Really appreciate the 360 degree rollers since I have the option of pushing the luggage alongside me instead of always having to pull it. Three telescopic handle gave several options e.g. when putting the shoulder bag on top the suitcase - or not. The design maximized space.
I've included photos showing that the shoulder bag fits under smaller planes such as the UAL Airbus planes I boarded. You must insert the bag on its back rather than standing up - and it will easily fit.
Great purchase and value, functional, lightweight design, high quality.

1. Compression Packing Cubes (two medium, one small + one packing 'tube' for socks and undergarments) made of lightweight parachute, water-resistant material (Eagle Creek 2-zipper system- you don't need to use a vacuum)
2. One travel garment bag for my business clothes (one Eagle Creek - large. Made of same ligjtweight parachute material with lightweight folding board tool + velcro straps to compress clothes and keep them pretty much wrinkle-free)
3. Two single-pair shoe bags (Eagle Creek -they're aerated plastic covered in small mesh black netting)
4. Cofreya travel-sized, silicon gel bottles that don't burst under pressure in high altitudes- and are airline approved for size).
By rolling clothes (except those in the garment bag), I was ankle to pack:
a. 3 dresses
b. 2 skirts
c. 1 pair of pants
d. 2 yoga 'sweats' outfits including both tops and pants
e. 2 pullover sweaters (wore one on plane)
f. pajamas
g. 2 additional leggings + 2 camisoles
h. 1 pair leather pumps
I. over-the-ankle leather dress boots
j. 1 pair Uggs boots (wore these on plane)
k. accessories- 2 full-sized scarves, packable purse to use during the trip, mittens, ear muff etc.
I. 3 turtleneck tops
m. 3 camisole tops
o. Small - lightweight business briefcase 'envelope'
p. electronics: small tablet, phone, etc.
...all that AND a bag of chips and small snacks! (and no, I didn't end up using the expandable zippered area of the luggage).
Note: To prolong the parade of clean clothes, I also packed Travelon & Tide travel laundry detergent + Travelon travel bathtub laundry clothesline (no clothes pins needed) and quickly sink-washed items each night).
Anyway, just sharing the details to show the capability - (and packability) of these 2 bags when using the right tools.
The bags themselves are high quality and have a warranty. The pretty, dusty rose color I bought is wonderful AND it's easy to spot should someone other than you decide to take your luggage.
Really appreciate the 360 degree rollers since I have the option of pushing the luggage alongside me instead of always having to pull it. Three telescopic handle gave several options e.g. when putting the shoulder bag on top the suitcase - or not. The design maximized space.
I've included photos showing that the shoulder bag fits under smaller planes such as the UAL Airbus planes I boarded. You must insert the bag on its back rather than standing up - and it will easily fit.
Great purchase and value, functional, lightweight design, high quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roomy and light
Size: Carry-on 21-InchColor: BlackVerified PurchaseWell built, it seems. Lots of room for a 3-4 day trip. Rolls quietly. Should have bought this years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Light, Durable, Practical Carry-On Suitcase
Size: Compact Carry-on 20-InchColor: Ensign BlueVerified PurchaseThis carry-on suitcase meets the majority of airlines strict dimensions for carry-on luggage. It is well constructed with durable materials to keep your items safe even if you need to check it in. It is extremely light weight making it easier to lift into the overhead bins. The wheels glide effortlessly whether you roll it upright on all for or pull it on 2 with the telescopic handle. It's surprising how much stuff you can cram into this little suitcase making it ideal for people trying to save on that check-in fee. I have another travelpro and it has lasted me many years.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice bag.
Size: Carry-on 19-InchColor: ChampagneVerified PurchaseMy husband has a similar, taller model. This one is also nice. It is very shallow but the extra width helps - I put nearly as much in it as in his though the specs say it is 7L smaller. I dislike the locking zippers. They are unnecessary for me and not very ergonomic.
