TUMI Alpha Large Dual Access Carry-On Spinner

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great carry-on: durable and steady, although a little bit on the heavy side.

To small for the same price as the original large Alpha. Not good for extended trips. Love the color.

Excellent luggage case. Plenty of room and I mean plenty, very durable. The new upgraded wheels are excellent.

The Alpha large expandable is perfect for my travel needs. I use packing cubes for my clothes and this luggage allows me plenty of room for short or long trips. I’ve gotten compliments on my Tumi choices.

Best travel piece. Very sturdy, handles and wheels are the best in the business.

I was so excited to finally upgrade my Away carry-on to a Tumi. I’ve been slowly replacing all my travel gear with Tumi because it looks incredibly sharp and is perfect for business travel. I started by upgrading my backpack, then got the weekender bag and the dopp kit, and finally decided to pull the trigger on this carry-on. On my very first time using it, the flight was full and I was forced to gate-check it. As soon as I pulled the bag off the baggage carousel at my destination, my excitement vanished and I immediately regretted the purchase. The bag looks absolutely terrible. The ballistic nylon is scratched up and every single plastic bumper is heavily scuffed. I know airline baggage handlers aren't gentle, and sure, I can blame the airline to an extent. But for how outrageously expensive this bag is, I cannot believe how poorly it handled a single trip in the cargo hold. If this bag can’t even survive its maiden voyage without looking like it was dragged behind the plane, I can’t even imagine what it’s going to look like in a year or two of regular travel. Extremely disappointed. Honestly, I wish I had just kept my Away.

Its a bit on the heavy side so be sure to manage your packed items for domestic trips.

Did not survive our first international trip without needing repairs. I remember when TUMI was quality not just a label.
