LEVEL8 Hard Shell Carry on Luggage Airline Approved, Carry-on Suitcases with Wheels, Lightweight Luminous Textured Hardside Travel Bag with Tsa Lock, 20 Inch, Black by LEVEL8

Best price of luggage I’ve ever owned.

Waited a while to wrote this (1.5 years) because I wanted to see how long the casters lasted before they started the shopping cart wobble.

Well, they’re still like new.

I can pack 5 days worth of travel in this without worry. Its a great piece that durable, doesn’t stain, lightweight, and easy to maneuver in the airport (one finger to push it).

Do yourself a favor.

Buy one.

I went with this color so I stand out on the turnstile. It minimizes confusion.

I recently purchased the LEVEL8 Carry on Luggage from Amazon, and I must say, I was initially impressed with its style and how effortlessly it glided on the floor. However, my excitement quickly turned to disappointment when I noticed a major flaw after just one use.

The Good: The suitcase is undeniably stylish, and its smooth maneuverability made navigating through crowded airports a breeze. It also has ample space, allowing me to comfortably pack three sets of clothes and a few pairs of shoes for my trip.

The Bad: Unfortunately, the issue arose when I arrived at my destination and opened the suitcase to find that the inside stitching had torn. I want to emphasize that I did not overpack the bag; it was filled with just three sets of clothes and a modest number of shoes. Given the limited use, I was surprised that it tore so easily.

Possible Defect: I am not sure if I received a faulty product or if this is a common issue with this suitcase model. Nonetheless, I expected better durability, especially from a brand known for quality luggage.

It is undoubtedly stylish and easy to maneuver, making it a great choice for travelers. However, the tearing of the inside stitching during the first use has left me feeling disappointed and questioning the overall quality. If you decide to purchase this suitcase, I recommend checking the stitching carefully upon arrival and being cautious with the amount of weight you pack.

I hope this review helps other potential buyers make an informed decision.

Update: The company reached out and provided a replacement. I recently traveled out of town and it held up great! I can’t wait to purchase their larger suitcase for our upcoming family trip.

Awesome piece of luggage. I have traveled a looottt in my life, hundreds of airplanes, maybe thousands. I always traveled with a duffle, but recently decided to make the change and get a hard case carry on. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase. All of my clothing arrives pressed and un wrinkled. The suitcase roles very well, almost effortless. Nice having locking zipper for security. Aesthetically, very clean and sleek design. Highly recommend

I saw a review on YouTube before purchasing this. Brand new, just received. After removing from shipping box, all looked beautiful, stunning. I love the rubber bumpers to protect this when placing on side for storage or overhead bins. I bought the lime color which is subdued, not screaming “Look at this color!” Then I tried the self-roll test: ultra smooth, quiet. The TSA and personal locks are solid, ands I was able to change numbers on first try. Now for the inside.

So dissapointed* Level 8 puts all this effort into designing, manufacturing and marketing a good quality luggage line yet the ZIPPERS GET STUCK. It’s worse trying to zip both directions around the corners, especially the inside compartments. Feels like you have to tug zipper pulls harder than normal to get around sticky spots, like something is going to break. Everything else is great quality. I would like to try zipper lubricant but that will probably break any warranty. This is a real shame. We do not have very many stores locally to pick from and I have a trip coming up soon.

* Update: Level 8 contacted me and was willing to replace this but it was too close to trip time to exchange it. So I rubbed a little bit of wax onto the zipper tracks at all the corners where they were getting stuck. It didn’t help. What DID help was packing the compartments for the trip. The bulk of contents packed or “pushed” the zipper tracks outward, making the zippers slide easily around those corners. I’m REALLY glad I didn’t give up or return this. It is very attractive, sturdy, including the handle, even with the backpack I had on top while rolling. The handle doesn’t jiggle. The sleeve on the backpack fit snugly onto the carry-on handles but it didn’t slide off or budge at all. The wheels are dreamy smooth and roll quietly through airports and hotels whether tile, vinyl or carpets. It rolled easily over transitions to escalators and elevators without catching it tipping. I love this carry on. Thank you Level 8!

I’ve never heard of this brand before, but I gave it a shot and ordered this luggage on a short-notice. I was pleasantly surprised. It’s well-engineered, despite the material, and has some of the smoothest wheels I’ve used on luggage of this smaller size. Sturdy handle as well. I found myself actually enjoying wheeling my luggage around because it was nowhere near the usual hassle I’ve experienced with older luggage I’ve owned in the past. Will definitely be coming back to this brand in the future for luggage needs. One thing I also really like about this is the understated design. A lot of luggage has tacky branding or ugly accents on the body of the luggage, but this company does not seem to do that. Bonus points for that in my book.
