Thank you for doing a review on BEIS. Just ordered the one you just did a review on. I appreciate this. 👩🏻‍💻🙋🏻‍♀️🤙🏼👍

[@silviaelfakih100]

This is the review I 've been looking for! I'm deciding between both of them

[@deniseramosgonzalez4799]

Thank you, I was leaning toward Beis and now I’m 100% sure I’m ordering it 😀

Same this was a great review

[@lucasviveiros2273]

Thank you for the insight! Totally going with the Beis :)

[@slopez8156]

ty for this video! was bouncing between monos and beis for sooo long and this helped me make a decision!

[@minhsao]

I am happy that is video helped you.. Thanks for watching!

What did you decide? I was leaning towards the beis but unsure

[@bethbingham-stimmel3828]

I ordered this is grey. Great review.

Awesome comparison bud, super helpful!

[@minhsao]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ohmymamz]

Thank you for making this! I’ve been searching for this comparison and it’s impossible to find!

[@minhsao]

Yeah I think BEIS is the better luggage for the money for sure!! Good luck and thanks for the comments and let me know if you have any question!!

[@ohmymamz]

@@minhsao I was leaning towards Beis because I liked the way that it looks and also the price so I’m happy you came to that conclusion! I was curious if you felt like there was a big difference in how much more you could fit into the Monos?

[@minhsao]

@@ohmymamz not counting the expansion on the Beis, there are almost no difference between the size of the BEIS and MONOS. but with the Expansion zipper on the BEIS.. you can fit a lot more stuff... but my advice is to use the expansion zipper only for the return trip as the last resort. Good luck and thanks for watching my video !!!

[@ohmymamz]

@@minhsao thank you!!!

Great vid! Thank you

[@mallorygray702]

i have both of these bags! this was a great comparison! benefits to both for sure

[@ShaguarXK8]

Which do you prefer and why?

[@mallorygray702]

@@ShaguarXK8 It depends! If i’m not bringing another bag then def the Monos for the front laptop pocket, but if I’m flying and have a separate carryon, I like the Beis. The gel handle grip is SUCH an underrated feature! I feel like I can fit a little bit more in the Beis too. They’re both great bags :)

[@pnky2006]

I have the monos I love it I’ve used it on 3 different airlines and no issues with the size.

[@Crystal4691]

Do you have the pro or pro plus?

[@autisticusmaximus9562]

@@Crystal4691don’t get the pro line. If you’re getting monos then get their standard carry on. The front pocket is more of a gimmick tbh, just carry a backpack or side bag for your electronics

[@sabrinabelaid]

great video! thank you

[@minhsao]

Thank you for watching!

[@Majestic_Sam]

Great video. 😊 I am interested with the beis luggage rather than the monos. The price is cheaper and love that it expands.

[@minhsao]

Yes!!! I agree... you should also check out level8 ...I love their smooth wheels!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6S1lJhqdpV0hKM

[@bimfugen8571]

Monos ftw! ✨

[@tlapo9671]

Can you review the Beira collapsible carry on? Or the brand July carry on?

[@isoplayers]

Does it appear that the monos is easier to get scuffed due to its smoother surface?

[@ianb282]

Hmm, i always considered i a compression zipper to even compress your bag more when its full

[@JaypeaFoto]

I have the Monos Pro carry-on. I was so excited to get this bag. It was few months before I actually used it. What a regrettable purchase. Firstly, the compartment at the front for a lap top ect, is basically useless. If there is anything in it, even a book, its hard to close, and the little pockets that I thought would be so useful hard to access. The zipper gets struck in the track around the front laptop compartment and its just annoying. Inside the bag, it really doesn't hold much at all. Especially on the side of the pro pocket. I also found the handle wobbly which is also frustrating. I purchased this for a trip to Mexico, and fortunately used it for a weekend away first. When the Mexico trip came, I used a $90 London Fog carry-on that functions much more efficiently. Again, at least for me a regrettable purchase.

[@minhsao]

Thanks for your feedback and comment!!!

[@baloo1522]

Agreed. The front pocket is useless. Even though I got mine on black Friday for $167, if I had to do it over again I'd get a bag with a better front pocket, and more interior expansion. Not worth the money at all so far. Saying this during an international trip

[@Majestic_Sam]

Whaaat. That's too bad.

[@cmkj364]

The Beis in the video looks slightly taller than the Monos albeit being listed as 1" shorter. Can you please confirm if the Monos is indeed shorter?

[@cwadejr]

I was wondering the same. I think he Monos in this one is the Carryon Pro not the Carryon Pro Plus. There is like an 1" difference between the two from the Pro to Pro Plus. Min, Can you confirm if that's the case or if maybe the angle of the camera was a bit deceptive from our vantage point of view? Great and helpful review.

[@RokuX51]

What are the dimensions of the beis when collapsed and with it fully expanded? Thanks!

[@RK-um9tu]

When fully expanded the Beis is not longer carry-on size, so the demisions don't really matter because you will have to check it...

[@chindianlynn]

Does the Beis still fit (in most airlines) as carry on when the extension/expander is in use?

[@minhsao]

No ... with the expander in use it is way larger than allowed in carry-on space. It is designed for you to check in when you expand it. Good luck.

[@chindianlynn]

@@minhsao Ahh. Got it! Thank you so much!

[@irenetubman9449]

I was gonna do this comparison but I have never done utube. I sent my mo os back and kept my beis

[@minhsao]

KZbin is fun… but it is not for everyone.. it can be very easy by just using your phone …or as complex and involving as you want … thanks for watching my video!! And I hope you enjoy your travels and your new luggage!

[@sparkles2013]

My concern is the beis bag warranty is for the lifetime of the "luggage" vs the monos is for the lifetime of the "buyer". So it makes me nervous that the Beis wouldn't actually get replaced if it breaks down

[@minhsao]

That is a great point! I would be surprised if beis would not replace it .. that would be a big fail and they would get destroyed on social media … but still a great point you made!

[@Jodgrl1]

My Beis zipper broke just this week. I have only had it for two months 😢. Beis was great and is completely replacing the bag.

[@kimsteckman2853]

The dimensions say the Monos bag is 23" and the Beis is 22", but they look the same size?? iI fact, the Beis appears bigger in this vidoe. Can you please measure and confirm the 22" exterior measurement on Beis? Thanks, and appreciate the comparison!

[@minhsao]

I think when I measure it there are like 22.5" vs 23" so very close. Beis is seems bigger because it doesn't have the front loader for laptop that takes up space also the Beis got the expansion zippers. I hope this helps. Let me know if you need any additional information... Good luck!!

[@kimsteckman2853]

@@minhsao Thanks!

[@SamW604]

@@minhsao In future videos, I recommend you measure luggage pieces instead of simply stating what is posted on a manufacturer's website. Sometimes manufacturers measure their luggage pieces differently; for example, some include wheels and handles and some only include the wheels. Airlines' size requirements include wheels and handles.

[@jonuiuc]

rather than smoothness which handle is more solid and wiggles less when fully deployed?

[@minhsao]

Both seems pretty solid and about the same during my travels... but like I said before I do love how smooth it felt to use the one from Beis. Good luck!

[@jonuiuc]

@@minhsao Thanks, I really get annoyed when handles are wiggly. Beis looks good, but is sorta big for carry one, I am looking at them for the check in size though.

[@minhsao]

@@jonuiuc if you are looking for a smaller one check out my other video on level8 .. that is the smaller case that I travel with for all my domestic flights.

Monos is flimsy plastic - I returned it before I used it. Beware of the hidden $40 return fee.

[@Majestic_Sam]

Really. Thanks.

[@marialabrie6609]

Hi, can you take the Beis luggage on international planes trips as a carry on? Or will it get checked?

[@minhsao]

It will depend on your airline but base on my previous travel of the bag of the same size it was fine. Also just FYI the monos bag in my video is the larger carryon which is the same size as BEIS luggage. I will be testing it out this summer so will let you guys know

[@marialabrie6609]

@@minhsao thank you!!

[@ColombiaExotic]

No. That was the reason I didn't get the BEIS.

[@RK-um9tu]

@@ColombiaExotic Yes you can as plenty of comments have stated. And if you take this Beis luggage as a carry on a particular plane, then you also can't take Mono, Away, or July on that same planes because all these bags are pretty much the same size (give or take an inch)...

Beis scratches cannot be removed compared to Monos and Away where in they used magic eraser sponge to remove scratches which is why I'll be leaning to Monos and wait for it to go on SALE

[@minhsao]

I have not encounter this yet.. but thanks for the tips I will see If I can or can not remove the scuffs when I get them and update everyone... thanks again.

[@rosheezy]

It's on sale now:)

[@SamW604]

I watched a video where someone used a Magic Eraser and it cleaned scuffs off of the Beis luggage. Magic Erasers are very inexpensive.

[@mbieber6663]

You can remove scratches on Beis with a Magic Eraser as well...

[@RK-um9tu]

There are KZbin videos showing a magic eraser removing scratches and schuffs from Beis luggage.

[@jamesmichael5475]

If you are a business person such as myself, and need to access your laptop during a flight to work, an external laptop compartment is a necessity a carry-on luggage. t=Therein lies the disqualifying drawback of the BEIS carry-on.

[@minhsao]

I travel almost every week for work… I don’t find the external laptop compartment helpful at all. I end up still using a backpack anyways because I just can’t bring my luggage to my meetings… but that is just me… good luck

[@jamesmichael5475]

I travel and have always found the external laptop compartment very useful. permitting me to access the laptop and complete medical reports while in-flight. I do not need to bring a carry-on to a meeting. I have attaches for that. My profession does not require numerous board meetings. I travel for recreation and to lecture other doctors throughout the USA in the fields of Sports Medicine and Athletic Performance Enhancement. @@minhsao

Most people carry a laptop bag because they'd never want their laptop to be crushed in cheap polycarbonite shell..

[@jamesmichael5475]

@@RK-um9tu I carry my laptop in my carryon, in the outer case, and as long as I am carrying it, how would it get crushed.

[@RK-um9tu]

@@jamesmichael5475 Keep doing that and you will find out soon enough. Also, please explain how you carry your laptop around town once you reach your destination. Do you take your Carry On lugagge with you everywhere you go, or do you have a laptop bag which make the laptop pocket on your Carry On useless. Finally, you can't fit a laptop, laptop sleeve, charger, charger cable, mouse, etc. in that outer case. But you can fit all those items and your laptop in a laptop bag.

You should of did it with a monos carry on not a carry on plus pro.

[@kimberlylee48]

Agree! I just bought the Monos without the pro plus and the price point was 235.00. The compression panels are awesome. I Highly recommend the Monos. 😊

[@quaali7973]

@Kimberly Lee i love mine and my compression cubes! So I get it

[@RK-um9tu]

Mono Carry On is now $255 and Beis Carry on is now $218. Mono is more expensive with less features and less packing capacity.

[@1jet55]

I kind of bought the monos shown in this video but they will not deliver it. They charged me for it but dispute numerous emails ( their phone number sends you to email) and blasting them on social media for in my opinion the worst customer service I have personally ever dealt with, I will be contacting American Express to get my money back. to bad, I was looking forward to the bag.

[@minhsao]

So sorry to hear that.. I recently discovered Quince... you should check them out.... our if you like something that is different and unique check out Level8. They are by far the most stylish suite cases .quince.sjv.io/minhsao x-l.ink/l8gltr good luck

You don't really care for the TSA locks if you get it on board.

[@minhsao]

That is true. I simply use the TSA lock as a back up latch to ensure that the zipper stays closed.

[@samysalib1790]

The Beis excites me...but I'm so worried that Canadian carriers will not allow me to carry it on...even if its NOT in its expanded state. I like the flexibility of being able to expand in the event in want to return from my destination with more stuff and willing to bite the bullet to check in. But I need peace-of-mind that I will not be forced to check it in if i have it in the non-expanded state. Anyone with experience using this on Canadian carriers able to weigh in? Othewise, I might take the safer route by getting the Monos Carry On Plus Thanks
