mixi Carry On Luggage with Cup Phone Holder and Charger Hard Shell Suitcases with Spinner Wheels, 20 Inch Avocado Green

I really struggled to decide what I wanted in my new carryon! There are so many improvements nowadays. I was really tempted by the new wide handles, but I knew I needed to be able to strap on my puppy carrier and they aren't made for the wide handles yet. :( At least mine wasn't) So.... This one seemed to check off my other wants. Charge port with USB-C, cupholder (although I was skeptical about its durability), extra hooks for bags and stuff. But really what I was after was the trunk style! I had just returned from 10 days traveling to Ireland and Scotland (6 flights!) and was about to embark on 6 more flights stateside to visit kids. It was time to upgrade and this suitcase did not disappoint! My husband was rather annoyed that I didn't want to check my bag. Why have to "lug it around" he said. Well, there was no lugging with this! The wheels rolled so smoothly. My husband commented several times what a smooth 'ride' it was. And he kept taking from me! In fact, he wanted to hang HIS bag on it all the time. And I'm pretty sure he bought me the oversized water on purpose so he could use the cupholder for his coffee! After having to flop open my traditional suitcase on the floor to access anything, being able to simply set this carry on on the dresser and lift the "lid" was so nice! I was able to pack 7 days of clothes and two pairs of shoes, a jacket and my toiletry bag comfortably. No need for expansion! (Which they won't allow a carryon to be expanded anyway.) Even fully packed it wasn't so heavy I couldn't lift it one handed. And in 6 flights, mine was the only buttery yellow that I saw, you couldn't miss it. So you attach a portable battery pack in a small pocket inside the suitcase to use the external ports. Which is fine, just make sure it is fully charged. However, the very last flight (1 in 6!) demanded that I remove the battery at the gate when they were going to put it under the plane. Annoying. However! I was able to get right to it in under 60 seconds because it was so easy to lift the lid and get to it! And I didn't have to take up a bunch of floor space at the gate and expose my entire contents either. This carryon is a keeper. The wheels and handle feel sturdy and smooth. It's a pretty color: cheery but not obnoxious. I can spot it a mile away amongst the sea of suitcases. It was strong enough to support my husband's carry on while rolling. I still feel that the cupholder is the weakest thing on it, but it still functions smoothly, neatly and did it's job. I didn't have to hunt for or share a charging station at the airport. I am happy with this case and am considering getting the full size to check for bigger trips!

After seeing an influencer youtube video, we decided to give this a try, as I truly hate dealing with clamshell cases. They end up on the floor of hotel rooms and I dash my feet on them, they are difficult to close and have other issues. But this Mixi model will hold just as much {really!} is easy to pack and won’t be in the way in a hotel room. We recently ued it to fly to NY, spend a week there, took the QM2 to Southampton {with some formal wear}, spent a week in England and another In Scotland, with my wife using only this bag and a personal item. Fits well into the overhead on our several flights. Well made, great materials and sturdy. Good wheels that were OK on rough streets although it is also not hard to carry The avocado color is fun and easy to identify. Fits well on British trains. The fun cupholder and handle hooks gained admiring eyes from others. You will need good compression bags for a long trip like ours, but we just loved the versatility and how compact this bag is. The single zipper is very high quality and the locking system is perfect. Done with clamshells! Would give it 6 stars if I could.

This will likely be my new go-to carry-on suitcase. I initially bought it because my old one was starting to crack, and this model stood out for its unique side-opening design. I thought it would be more convenient than the typical clamshell layout, and while it does save some space when opening, it’s not quite as perfect in practice as I hoped. The pockets on the opening flap are quite tight, fine for documents or slim items, but not ideal for anything bulkier. The bottom section still has the typical handle rails that make packing and utilizing the space a bit awkward, and the strap layout can be mildly frustrating, as the securing straps and lid-support straps sometimes get in each other’s way. Another thing to note is that this suitcase does not expand, so if you tend to shop while traveling, you’ll want to leave a bit of extra room or plan to carry items separately. That said, the build quality feels solid, the spinner wheels roll smoothly, and the color and finish look fantastic. Despite its quirks, this is a well-made and stylish suitcase that offers a fresh take on the carry-on design.

Overall a good suitcase. It’s not a true 20” in length though (about 19” without wheels and handles). Rolls smoothly. The lid has straps to kept it upright, so it doesn’t flop all the way open if you don’t want it to. The handle extends 40.5” from the ground. Weighs 6.8 pounds. The cup holder won’t fit a Stanley or similar handle cup, but will fit a narrow water bottle. Phone fits the length of the stand that’s built into the handle (I have a iPhone 13 pro), but barely- it might slip off, but an iPad would easily sit on there. Can’t really test durability until I fly with it, but that’s my initial review.

I had done a lot of searching for a good carry-on bag and when I bought this, I tested it out in my living room with a cup in the holder to make sure it was good. The main part was making sure the cup holder was good and reliable. The cup in the pic is a Grande cup from Star@#ks and it held up well without any spillage. A Venti cup without the sleeve fits perfect in the holder as well. The video I have shows it going over a small lip in the Atlanta airport with no issues. The USB and USB-C ports work well and below is the power bank I purchased and would recommend because it fits well in the bag and charges the phone quickly. INIU Portable Charger, Slimmest 10000mAh 5V/3A Power Bank. The two tabs at the top of the extended handle designed to hold your phone are ok but you have to balance the phone perfectly and one small bump will make the phone fall but this is not exactly a selling point for me. The outer shell is stronger than usual carry-ons and the wheels are good, especially with 2 wheels for each corner. I rolled this through numerous airports and a couple times, I had to roll it for a few blocks across a road and bricks and it held up well. My old bag was an even split on both sides and this one is just one but the amount of space is the same. It took some getting used to packing everything into one side but it's still very good. I won't check this bag so the locks are not as much of a selling point for me but I like to have them available. The bag has the 4 tabs on the side to lay your bag down in the overhead although the airline I fly makes you lay it flat which defeats the purpose of the tabs but I like having them there for the option. All in all, this is a great bag and I would definitely recommend, especially if you are doing trips between 2-4 nights.

This was my second piece by this company (Mixi is just an offshoot of Hanke) I had the Hanke carryon with laptop compartment on the front which was trunk style like this but awkward to get open so I sold it and bought this one instead with no regrets. I fly 2 night trips for work frequently and I have plenty of room leftover for more stuff if I took a longer trip. I’ve never had to check it, it looks just as pristine as the day I unwrapped it. I love the trunk style opening for hotel luggage racks which are not well designed for the clamshell style suitcases. I’ve had no problem with the cup holder and the charger while slow does work (you have to buy your own battery to plug in on the inside to charge through the port on the outside). Being so flat it’s great for setting things on it and they don’t tip over/fall off. Not sure if it’s the suitcase handle or my personal item but the trolley sleeve on my personal items has been a kind of tight fit.

I have used it for a few trips now and I love it. The size fits overhead nicely. It has a smooth glide. The cup holder was awesome and useful so we're the little hooks for the phone/bags. The color stood out and was exactly like the pictures. This was the first time I bought a luggage with a open top style or chest style opening and I love it. It was easier to open and my clothes dont fall out like my clam shell style ones.

I travel for work and also vacation. Hate clamshell carry ones. This carry in is soo spacious, zips smoothly, rolls better than my away bag, and the colors are striking making it easy to detect if you decide to check a bag! Great price! I just love it!
