Travelpro Maxlite 5 Review In-Depth (Secret Compartment Reveal!)

[@davidmeza3157]

Now this is a freaking review! I wish I could pay you for the in depth yet sincere review. You saved me hundreds by avoiding purchasing the expensive luggage. Thank you.

[@mrbro1339]

how nuch did you buy it for?

[@dirk112]

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this review! It was awesome. I’ve had decision paralysis over the spinner vs 2 wheel rollaboard version of this bag for weeks. You removed all doubt for me. As soon as I’m done leaving this comment I’m ordering the 2 wheel rollaboard. Seeing you methodically pack the bag was a huge help. Seriously. Well done and many thanks.

[@ALinsdau]

Glad I could help!

[@Mike-rm1lb]

4 wheelers are only good in airports. Useless on european cobbles.

[@jeffp802]

This may be the best product review I have ever seen. Great job. I bought the 22 inch 2 wheel because of this.

[@ALinsdau]

Wow, thanks!

[@515aleon]

That's the most entertaining. I looked at his channel. Might subscribe even though I have no interest in winter camping. My idea of camping is a state park for a night or two, sleeping in my car. :D

[@dougstraveljournal8614]

This is the best bag review I have seen 👏👏. Everything I need to make a purchase decision.

[@ALinsdau]

Excellent!

[@katebc9148]

Excellent review of this bag. I am in the process of looking at different bags and as expected, like some features, others not so much. So, having this review to actually see the reality of the bag in use was exceptionally helpful. Very much appreciated.

[@ALinsdau]

Thanks for watching!

I recently bought this luggage for a 3 day trip to Vegas. Zero problems using it as a carry on and loved the two wheel feature vs 4 wheel which everyone has. One thing I will say and took notice on this video which BTW, excellent review, is that male or female, we always tend to over pack. If you notice, he did pack in all that clothes but where are the shoes? Unless he plans on wearing the same pair the whole time? I'll be the first to admit, they take up ALOT of space so choose wisely. I packed a pair of boots, tennis shoes + the ones I was wearing and bottom line, they take up alot of space! Another thing to mention, if you travel, keep in mind that you'll probably buy souvenirs and will want to bring them back so give yourself space. Great review!

[@Angel-uk2gk]

Thank you for the detailed review. I really appreciate you showing all the specifications and how many items are able to fit in the luggage. Great video!

[@ALinsdau]

Thank you for watching!

[@Angel-uk2gk]

Thanks!

[@ALinsdau]

Thank you so much!!

[@jstanovic]

I like the 4 wheel carryons because it is easier to maneuver down the airplane asile. I turn it sideways and always have my backpack on top of the carryon.

[@ALinsdau]

Too true.

[@sandiwilliamson2764]

I saw it. It is amazing. I am totally impressed by your info. Thank you

[@KarenG-ei9dk]

good review, well worth spending the time watching it. it is 4 years old now, I just hope that all of the pros and cons are still valid.

[@ALinsdau]

Pros and cons are still valid - safe travels!

[@tmo7734]

Great video. Very thorough. Thank you!

[@captured_agent5714]

Gold standard review- hugely helpful 👍🏽

[@ALinsdau]

Thanks!

[@vickilinsdau8687]

Great review 😎now I’ll know more of what I will look for✈️

[@ALinsdau]

Glad I could help!

[@515aleon]

I have had this bag since 2019. Why did I watch this then? To watch YOU, Never knew it would fit all THAT?! Definitely am one shlepy packer. You are the ace. It's a terrific bag though. Those side handles are nice for pulling out of your Subaru on a road trip. I tend to check it, and no damage from all the crazy folks in baggage. I'd buy it again. I think it's too big for international carryon, which I don't intend to do anyway.

[@ALinsdau]

It's a great bag for sure. Safe travels.

[@papabless5082]

Extremely detailed and helpful video. Thanks!

[@ALinsdau]

Thanks!

[@lmitchell7450]

Thank you for the review. I purchase the TravelPro Spinner and it is great.

[@ALinsdau]

Great to hear!

[@j.m.7056]

Thank you for this excellent review. I will purchase the 2 wheeler! Replacing a 30 year old LL Bean Sportsman 2 wheel carryon.

[@ALinsdau]

Right on!

[@merlepadilla9119]

Very good demonstration and explanation. Very helpful

[@ALinsdau]

Glad it was helpful!

[@weromontiel]

Excellent review, now I know which carry on I am buying! Thank you!

[@ALinsdau]

Glad I could help!

[@RaverCJ]

This is an awesome review. Thank you!

[@ALinsdau]

My pleasure!

[@llwil2003]

With Basic Economy they give you a free carry on with 8kg. Usually our old 21 inch bags were 12kg. Hopefully the lighter bag will help.

[@ALinsdau]

That it should - certain airlines allow quite a bit with basic economy.

[@dirtydishesmedia]

I'm debating buying this one or their Maxlite "International", as I'm flying international & do not want to check. Strangely, the International rollaboard is 15"W, and standard is 14". So weird they would mess that up. Have you used as carry on internationally?

[@ALinsdau]

Yes, I flew to London using this exact bag as a carry on. No problems with it.

[@BrooklynAlien]

@@ALinsdau good to know. I was also confused about the similar version with only slightly different dimensions.

[@sandiwilliamson2764]

Have you done a video on the travelpro Versapro? I’m having a difficult time choosing between this one and the one you have in this video

[@ALinsdau]

I did this video for comparison: Travelpro Maxlite 5 vs Travelpro Crew Classic In-Depth Detailed: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpa0c4qLprODlbc

[@Ben-dk6is]

nice video, great review

[@ALinsdau]

Thanks!

[@pcmacintyre]

Most international flight carry on limits are 7kg/15lbs. It's doable if you pack smartly and put the electronics and toiletries in your person item bag

[@ALinsdau]

Great pointer.

[@daylekline6406]

Use packing cubes to help understand how much you can pack

[@aldizon]

Hi. What"s the name and brand of the hardshell spinner bag (blue and brown at 5:45 playtime). Would you recommend that bag?

[@ALinsdau]

G.H. Bass www.ghbass.com/ It's a nice bag though I've not seen them in stores in a while.

[@raquelg5415]

What an excellent review! Thanks!

[@Pattymelt415]

Hi. Will you please help me figure out how to unlock the zippers? I received the bag today and their zippers are locked into the TSA approved three dial lock, which is set at 000. I cannot get the zippers out. I don't know what to do because there are no directions and I don't want to force them out. Can you please help? thanks!!!

[@ALinsdau]

Check with Travelpro - they'll have an answer.

[@Pattymelt415]

@@ALinsdau well I tried that. The woman just told me to return the bag.

[@Pattymelt415]

Also. They are so fruckin difficult to get ahold of by phone. I don't like that.

[@Pattymelt415]

They weee not helpful. Just told me to return.

[@marysmith5891]

Love the review but 1 question - in 2022 the only Maxlite 5 carryon I can find is the international which is 15.75 inches wide. Would this not be a problem in budget airlines who require 14”?

[@ALinsdau]

Wow, that's really small. I've never been called out over that small a difference. Some carriers can go really overboard, so be aware.

[@mrbro1339]

it was on a flash sale for prime day for $20 cad

[@paulabenoit4250]

Fantastic review, thank you

[@riverrock335]

I travel in Alaska and frequently encounter unpaved surfaces and the spinners don’t work or hold up. Keep that in mind for international travel.

[@ALinsdau]

Spinners do take a beating on cobble stones.

[@myopinion9518]

Excellent demonstration. Thank you.

[@ALinsdau]

Thanks for watching!

[@VictorLopez-vc6cf]

Very informative! Thank you sir

[@ALinsdau]

Thanks for watching.

[@feiwong70]

Thank you so much for the detailed review! I’d like to know which color is your review bag? Is it Azure Blue or Sapphire Blue?

[@ALinsdau]

Sapphire blue.

[@feiwong70]

@@ALinsdau Thanks again Aaron! I drove an hour and bought 2 (Black & Ocean Blue) from Macys yesterday based on your review! Those are only two colors Macys and are on sale too. We love them. They are super light and has all the features you mentioned. We’ll head out on a cruise this weekend so luckily got them now ready for the trip!

[@wendynguyen8296]

Wow,very well informed thanks 🙏!

[@ALinsdau]

You're welcome. My bag is still going strong after several long trips.

What type of pants do you travel with? Light nylon-type hiking pants?

Wow what an amazing review 👏👏👏👏👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺

[@orhancabarov]

Hi. Is it better with two wheels? Which one would you recommend? I don't know English so I'm asking you a question using translate.

[@detangers]

Ok, im flying Lufthansa. They state carry on luggage sizes is 22x14x9. I'd looked and looked in can't find this size in travel pro. Will I got charges for a 23x14x9 which is what this bag is? Thank You.

[@jasminearnold514]

Hi! Will I be able to use this as a carry on for American Airlines?

[@ALinsdau]

I've used this many times on American, United, Delta for their mainline aircraft for carry on. It won't fit in the overhead in a Canada Regional Jet, though.

[@chrisho3851]

Hi ​@@ALinsdau - do you store this wheels-end first though? Or do you store it sideways. If I can store it wheels first then it seals the deal for me. Keep up the good work!

[@roundknittles]

14 14 ‘ width does matter for rolling down the aisle ‘

[@worldtravellerz6724]

Do the Travelpro Max Lite spinners have replaceable wheels?

[@ALinsdau]

Not sure?

[@sunnyscott4876]

It was a lovely detailed review but you totally lost me when you started jamming things willy-nilly into that suitcase. 🤯🤯🤯🤯✈✈🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@ALinsdau]

Good pointers.

[@lynnel4159]

Where are your shoes?

[@diannelane3192]

Have you taken this bag over cobblestones?

It's a bit rumbly but it works.

This is on sale for Prime Day right now.

Thanks!

I hide my mini iPad in that secret compartment my old Samsonite 21inch had a secret compartment.

[@ALinsdau]

Nice!

[@suksma108]

OMG 😮 That was excruciatingly painful to watch that much going into that suitcase! All those heavy, dense blue jeans..😅

[@ALinsdau]

Right!

[@CIST3]

Like the suitcase but the packing was terrible.

[@ALinsdau]

Thanks for watching.

[@Mayaman67]

Very thorough review. I hope you don't do a vid on packing.

Thanks for watching!

[@marycharleson3320]

I put a paper clip on that hidden zipper

[@ALinsdau]

Nice idea.

[@jeffgravel5220]

This looks like a maxlite 4 not a 5

[@samray3461]

"because it's a domestic flight, there's no real food..." telling of how far that industry has fallen.

I don't want my suitcase stuffed like that.
