We were able to pack everything into the bag’s various compartments and loved the flexibility of a removable suiter for trips with dressier attire. Made of the brand's signature ballistic nylon, it also passed our baseball bat test with flying colors. It moves like a dream on various types of flooring, thanks to the four smooth-gliding dual spinner wheels and comfortable telescoping handle. The Tumi International Dual Access carry-on was a close runner-up to the Samsonite Freeform. When the front-access section is fully packed, it will eat into the space in the main compartment. The Details: 21 x 15 x 10 inches | 5.6 pounds | Expandable | 10-year limited warranty | Hardside | 4 spinner wheels Considering the reasonable price, durable construction, and spacious capacity, we think it's a great choice for frequent fliers and anyone in need of a high-quality carry-on. Even after six months of regularly traveling with this bag, it shows no signs of wear and tear and any scuffs it has accumulated have been easily buffed out. After hitting it with a bat, the polycarbonate (high-strength thermoplastic) shell was scuff-free and showed virtually no signs of damage. We loved the sleek, minimalist-modern design of the Freeform, which comes in 12 hues ranging from white to mint to merlot. We wish this carry-on had a zippered section or removable bag for dirty laundry, but it does have a separator to keep your shoes away from your clean clothes. We were able to pack enough clothes for a four-day trip, including two pairs of shoes, multiple jackets, and two toiletry bags - no expansion needed. This all-star suitcase has various pockets within the main compartment, and it expands a couple of inches when you need extra space. We also like that the aluminum telescoping handle extends and locks with the push of a button. Earning perfect scores in all our tests, it's easy to maneuver on two or four wheels and rolls smoothly on various surfaces, including carpet and hard flooring.

We tried lots of excellent suitcases, but the Samsonite Freeform Hardside Spinner was a clear winner. There's no designated zippered section for dirty clothes.
