HAUPTSTADTKOFFER - Alex - Set of 3 Hard-side Luggages Trolley Suitces Expandable, (S, M & L), applegreen

I recently purchase this item and took it on a two week holiday.To make this as honest and fair as possible I compared this suitcase to the same brand and one size down.One important part for me which stand out the most for me is the weight of the suitcase.This made it difficult to buy or add to my suitcase due compromising what I was allow time take on the flight.Otherwise the suitcase is a good size and good depth. Including the inside straps.It was able with stand 25hour travel from two different countries.I didn’t use the key lock due to reviewing previous reviews. I find it better and easier to use my own personal locks.The wheels was able to with stands the different types of flooring and outer shell had minimal damage.I have a smaller size and I find the company easy to deal with when I needing a replacement.

Very cute suitcase in a gorgeous burgundy shade! I bought the 65cm one for a month long trip. It held up pretty well so am thinking of buying this in the cabin size too, perhaps in the dark green.The only problem with it is the wheels don't glide very easily on bumps in the pavement, which got rather annoying. I did have a rather heavy backpack on top it it though, which may have impeded manouvreability, but all the same I would have liked it to have been better. Even though it's medium it feels smaller than I expected. Thank god for the expandable section otherwise I would have really struggled on the way back! Not too many scratches at the end of a long trip, though I don't mind a few scratches anyway.

My partner bought this for himself and took it to a trip 2 months ago and during that trip, the luggage was flung around by the baggage people at the airports. It did get quite a few scratches but isn't so noticeable since my partner decided to decorate his luggage with stickers. (V nice addition to the luggage.)𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐬:- It's lightweight.- It expands pretty nicely.- It fits a LOT of things.- The lock system is good, but my partner still ended up using another lock.𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬:- It feels kind of flimsy.- It gets scratched quite easily.- It will crack if you travel quite a lot due to the luggage being thrown around during transits.𝐃𝐨 𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲? 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭, 𝐧𝐨.I've had better premium luggages for cheaper and have lasted a long time.

I ordered this set of suitcases in advance for a cruise we're going on in three weeks time - the delivery estimate was 5-18 days - yet the suitcases arrived this morning in just four days - excellent service. The cases themselves are just stunning - the apple green is more of a lime green which is what I really wanted. They're much lighter in weight than you'd expect yet are very stable on four wheels - they literally glide along the floor without a sound. Each case has a telescopic handle but they're so smooth on their wheels you can walk along holding the normal handle and they seem to float alongside you!The instructions are in German so I'll have to study the combination lock to figure out how to set it - I'm sure it'll be simple enough. After opening all the cases I found a little zip-lock bag in the smaller one with three sets of sticky alphabet transfers in it to put our initials on each case - nice little touch.There's a separate zipped compartment in each of the cases with a mesh front which is very handy for those little extras that you want to find quickly - I had a Samsonite for the last twenty years which served me well though only had one loose, elasticated pouch on each side and that was it - also it was a lot heavier and more cumbersome to pull along than these cases - and it was much more expensive than these at the time.There's not a chance of missing these beauties on a conveyor belt with their distinctive colour - we wasted nearly an hour at the port searching for our black cases on our last cruise! Each case has an extra zip which allows for up to 4cms expansion - haven't tested these yet as they've just arrived but I'll give an update when we return from our holiday - for now I'm just happy to sit here with my morning coffee admiring them!As promised I've returned to give an update on these cases after using them for the first time on a cruise recently. I have to say they lived up to all expectations and more! The cases can hold a serious amount of luggage yet still manage to remain stable when upright, gliding along on the four wheels as though they're empty. The smallest case fits into the medium one, which then fits into the largest one - this may not seem too much of a bonus until you actually arrive in your hotel room or cabin, the fact that I was able to slot the large case (stuffed with the two smaller cases) into one little inconspicuous space was a real bonus when space is at a premium, last year I had suitcases sticking out under the bed, inside the wardrobe as well as poking out on top of it - taking up too much valuable space.I used the expansion zips on all three cases yet this did not affect the stability of any of them. I had duty-free drink packed in two of the cases and despite the cases taking obvious hard knocks during the journey, nothing was broken. Everyone's luggage was placed in allocated areas on departure to make it easier for everyone to find their cases - I have to say though that we didn't have to look which area our cases had been allocated, as soon as we entered the luggage area we could see ours immediately in the distance - the bright green made them stand out very vividly amongst all the dark coloured cases - any of the bright colours would be as distinctive.The taxi driver who kindly took our cases and packed them into the back of his car actually commented that he wished everyone's cases were as easy to wheel as these - as mentioned before, they really do seem to float alongside you whether they're full or empty. I did manage to suss out the combination lock by the way - just pulled back the tab slightly and moved the numbers to the combination I wanted then released the tab - I didn't have to remove the lock as mentioned by another user.The bright colours may not be to everyone's taste which is fair enough - but for practical purposes, they really will expedite your departure from airports/ports etc due to their high visibility - no more wasting time sifting through dark cases trying to read the name tags to see if it's yours or not - there's no mistaking these!! They attract a few backward glances (I like to think admiring ones) from the odd passer-by, 99% of the luggage that I saw was either black or dark-coloured, these cases are bright, colourful and very distinctive - and they do a fantastic job!!I'm very, very pleased with them - they stood up well to the rigours of being thrown about by the luggage handlers - a few scrape marks here and there but I can see these are going to be around for a long time - incidentally, there's a video on YouTube you can watch - just type in hauptstadtkoffer - you'll see it's possible to jump up and down on these cases and they'll still retain their shape - nice to know they're well equipped to fight the luggage handlers!!

Nice spacious sturdy suitcase.4 double wheels is a nice feature.Lock is ok but plastic & looks easy to force.Telescopic handle feels a bit flimsy.Overall good value for money.Warning !!! I have the bright green one & it’s very attractive to bees (and customs officers as I just found out coming back from holidays when I was treated to a thorough luggage search) 😂
