My Samsonite Magnum Eco Review

[@raresstefan6996]

That’s how that should be , if the plastic is harder is going to crack under pressure . Is really durable. Samsonite offers 10 years guarantee..

[@DivaBara88]

I'm having S'cure for 9 years, set of 3, heavily used (every year at least 2 vacations + multiplr small trips with medium or hand carry) and only this year it got white marks. But true is, I usually carry around 30-32kg in 2 big luggages. Never got anything broken inside. I love the locks - I would never buy any luggage with zipper anymore. And thinking now about new set - S'cure again or Magnum.

[@isonic9479]

The case needs to be flexible! what do you need a liming inside, that's rubbish.Without lining you can clean the inside much better. i never buy suitcases with lining becazse when backing my suitcase is clean, i also use desinfectant.i only have Samsonite case and they last all you life

[@greatwhitesharky3261]

@@DivaBara88 I like the look of this case with the locks and that it has no zip. I would much rather leave valuables in this case than cases with zips.

[@faberzeyo]

Samsonite made the shell specifically to be flexible and bouncable so when it falls or something is dropped on it the suitcase will not crack and just go back to the original shape.

[@greatwhitesharky3261]

@@Snailman0 I don't think they understand the benefits of the flexibility. They just think well if it flexes it must be cheap and rubbish?

[@peterharvey153]

The Samsonite Magnum Eco was designed to be a hard "flexible" case. Magnum Eco is NOT designed to be a hard "rigid" case like the old Samsonite Aeris F'Lite and the S'cure etc. Samsonite should clarify on their website that Magnum Eco is a hard flexible case, and not a hard rigid case. Watch this Samsonite Cosmolite get driven over by a car and still bounce back to normal: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qafLhXl8nbhop5I

[@1FoolMoon]

I dissagree, i had Samsonite hard shell bags for the past decade! They never broke. My carry on is Magnum eco and I believe it’s fantastic! Yes it’s bending, but NOT breaking…

[@soulslaveone]

Totally disagree with this guy! He clearly didnt get the point regarding the durability of the thing: -The Magnum is made of PET- plastics. Can U name anything more durable than a PET bottle? Yeah, it flexes and its neither rigid or thick. BUT THATS THE WHOLE POINT! If flexes and takes a punch! AND you will never get your fist thru that thing, even if you say so! I have been using this thing for a long time and it still looks new.

[@mellewisselo8025]

I don’t really get what is wrong with it. All samsonite suitcases are designed to be flexible. This doesn’t mean it will not protect the stuff inside. It is designed to bounce back to its original shape.

[@shahrizandaud]

maybe the reviewer is not really know what durable and lightweight means.

[@g.b.garcia2844]

I have magnum eco went thru my 21 hours long flight. Upon arrival i saw a bent but pops right back like nothing happened! Its amazing

[@imennnify]

literally such saving and graceful video thanks!

[@shirleymeesters9386]

I actually love it when there is no lining. Less hiding places for bedbugs that want to crawl in.

[@erhantanman]

You missed the whole point man, its flexible but durable on purpose..

[@AndreGod]

What you saw as negative I saw as something positive. Being flexible and durable should be good

[@makbulhusain]

Durable, flexible, lightweight...Still going everywhere

[@ЕгорНазаренко-я6н]

Thx man! As a lot of people, as I see from comments, I was also close to purchase this one) Thx for you review and good luck!)

[@greYrealitY]

they didn't add lining to keep it light weight -3,7kg. it make sense, but this material doesn't looks like a proper Polypropylene. i have a same size and same weight luggage from Roncanto and i can confirm that it should not be sooo soft like the one on the video. not a good model at all >< i use my Roncanto for 7 years. but now i have a problem with a lock >< and trying to find same model but there is none in Thailand ((

[@HiGrrr]

@Tim Hook Hey, how’s the luggage situation now? Did you manage to return it? Would love an update-appreciate the honest, sarcastic touch!

[@timhook3682]

@@HiGrrr Hey! I actually ended up returning this (after a little resistance from Samsonite). However, they only gave us the option for an exchange. We exchanged for the standard magnum range and they’ve been pretty solid so far 👌

[@HiGrrr]

@ thank you u the best love the optimistic yogurt cup review. 😂

[@chengalice5219]

Thank you for sharing this. I like your honest, unbiased opinions

[@mehmetturkcan1775]

When I wipe my new eco it gives some color on cotton. Is it normal?

[@zed9zed]

Is this your first modern (light) Samsonite? It seems like it. Firstly, the price is on the low end for Samsonite. Their cheaper offerings don't come with a liner. As for it feeling flimsy to you, that's because it's intended to be lightweight. That does not necessarily mean it will get destroyed easily. I've had several different S luggage which have traveled the globe with me. Sometimes they show up on the luggage conveyor belt with a huge dent, but it pops out or can be pushed out. That's just what you get with thin material. However, mine has never cracked or broken.

[@makbulhusain]

I got one, no problems so far.

[@JanieP53]

Thank you for the honest review. I used it to persuade my husband not to buy this Spinner.

[@Loutripe]

how does it compare with the s'cure ?

[@TheRobertTromp]

Thanks! just in time.

[@d.p.5926]

You literally saved me hundreds of dollars, thank you!

[@awhi3765]

This is a stupid review. It is an empty case that he presses down on and it returns to the original shape with no deformities. That is a good thing. It's light and sturdy. I agree with the lining bit but overall this is a case of someone not actually knowing quality.

[@DIJONh100]

the material is supposed to be flexible in order to avoid cracking, chipping and breaking. LOL.

[@Beetrecca]

@Gaming Emporium this is my thoughts on it too, the material isn’t weak it’s flexible it will take a smashing and not crack ! Mine has been to many countries and not a mark on it !!

[@roygertel]

Rainproof ?

[@mdjmurray]

Wow, it looks solid on the website!

[@ЮраИкрамов]

This one 79 or 81?

[@melissabrooks3347]

Solid points made. I’ll avoid this one. Thanks for the honest review. I’d like to see more from you Tim 👍

[@SAMsame33]

Thanks for sharing. Too bad that i see it now…its too late. I already bought it and I’ve got problem with the lock! I am at holiday right now and I can’t open the suitcase. Of course I put the right number in it. I‘m locking know for a video who’s explaining, how to open it without numbers 🙈 No, i wouldn’t recommend to buy that suitcase for the reasons you named !🙈 …and to the flexibility: if the suitcase full packed, you have a hard time to close it…to bring it on all sides to the write position!!

[@adjoaaj7593]

Hiya! great vid- this is different to the magnum spinner?

[@jameswatts2300]

Thank you, Tim. Truly wonderful stuff.

[@DAXimusTT]

i was literally gonna check out on my cart then i saw this. Thanks mate. It's unfortunate that a more expensive model such as this is crap compared to some other models.

[@teriyakibo2396]

Thank you for your honest review, I was about to click on "purchase" and I saw your video. On the Samsonite website a review was saying that if the suitcase was half empty it could fold and let some white using marks on the shell. I will finally pick a S'Cure DLX or a "Regular" Magnum (not the Magnum ECO) which are made of regular plastic and are way more stronger.

[@annapl8738]

omg thank you so much for the honest review!!! I almost fell for the design and the idea behind it!

From someone never experienced the durable suitcase lol which is shame, u don’t know its value 😂

[@t.m.5920]

Hey, from a Tim to another Tim: you should get the normal Magnum not the Eco. It has the inner material and feels more stable than the Eco. But it costs 20€ more.

[@Hieucd97]

Hey another Tim, does the normal Magnum has a firm shell like a normal suitcase?

[@t.m.5920]

@@Hieucd97 yes it has. I can highly recommend the suitcase i had 2 bigger vacations with it and i was like „Yes! Finally i spent money to something meaningful“. Greetings from Berlin!

This is the typical greenwashing project from multinationals. ALL there products are made of regular plastics, and then they make ONE suitcase to make a statement as being concerned with the environment. Disgusting marketing.
