The Samsonite Freeform Hardside Spinner is one of the best carry-on luggage for many reasons. With two or four wheels, it is easy to maneuver, and it rolls easily on a variety of surfaces, including carpet and hardwood floors. Its aluminum telescoping handle can extend and lock with the push of a button.

This greatest suitcase stretches a few inches when you need more space and has lots of pockets inside the main compartment. No extension is required to include two pairs of shoes, several jackets, and two toiletry bags in addition to enough clothing for a four-day excursion. This carry-on luggage will be better if it has a zippered section or a bag that could be removed for dirty laundry, but it does include a separator to keep your shoes from your clean clothing.

The Freeform comes in 15 colors ranging from white to merlot and is known for its svelte, minimalistic style. After hitting it with a bat, the polycarbonate (high-strength thermoplastic) shell was scuff-free and showed virtually no signs of damage. You wouldn't worry about rolling it into a puddle by accident either. It's a great option for frequent travelers and anyone looking for a high-quality carry-on given the affordable pricing, high durability, and spacious capacity.

Travelpro's Platinum Elite Hardside Spinner is the second-best carry-on luggage to the Samsonite Freeform. Its durable polycarbonate shell stood up well to being hit with a bat and pushed off a table. The self-aligning spinner wheels make for smooth rolling, and adjustable handle feels solid while offering a comfortable grip. However, moving it across carpeted floors requires a little more effort.

With the help of external USB A & C ports with fast charging capabilities and a specific external-access battery pocket that offers FAA-compliant storage for your power bank, you may charge your electronics while traveling. The spinner-wheel carry-on luggage has been sizer bin tested to fit in most major domestic airlines' overhead bins. It also features a zippered 2" expansion option to expand packing capacity as needed.

Many testers claimed that even after expanding the luggage, they had no trouble packing the clothes and shoes. Keep in mind, of course, that this makes it a bit harder to fit in an overhead bin. A few more internal pockets would have been nice as well, but in the end, its durable design is worth the investment.

The stylish Bigger Carry-On Flex from Away is also one of the best carry-on luggage that every traveler should know. The polycarbonate shell of this hard-side suitcase is both lightweight and durable. The impressively durable material doesn't dent upon being whacked with a bat, although it will get some scratches if you throw it off the table. However, it is easy to clean. The bag has two main compartments and an interior compression system, making it simple to fit and arrange all the necessary things. There is a hidden laundry bag for dirty clothes, and you can extend it for a bit more space.

You would be surprised at how lightweight Away's "bigger" carry-on flex is, even when it is packed full of stuff. It glides and spins exceptionally smoothly on two or four wheels, according to many testers, and the grab handles make it simple to lift overhead. So, while the Bigger Carry-On Flex certainly isn't the most affordable option, you'll definitely get your money's worth.

The Travelpro Platinum Elite Spinner is made of fine fabric and held up nicely to repeated strikes from a bat with leather corner piping and chrome hardware. There were no tears or scuffs to be seen. It is easy to fit everything into the two main compartments and mesh zippered pockets, though you have to expand it, which makes it substantially larger.

The luggage has a built-in USB port that lets you power up on the go, while a dedicated powerbank pocket for your back-up battery adheres to FAA regulations. The Travelpro Platinum Elite Spinner comes in 6 colors ranging from black to vintage colors and Rich Espresso is one of its unique colors.

With four wheels, the Platinum Elite glides easily and turns with no effort. (Pulling it on two wheels requires a little more work.) TSA lock is also included. All things considered, the cost is reasonable for such a dependable, feature-rich design.

If you're open to splurging on a high-end suitcase, the Tumi Alpha Continental is a perfect option. Many testers said it moves like a dream on various types of flooring, thanks to the four smooth-gliding spinner wheels and comfortable telescoping handle. The four smoothly rolling spinning wheels and comfortable telescoping handles have received positive reviews from several testers who claim it moves like a dream on different types of flooring. It is made of the brand's signature ballistic nylon.

A TSA combination lock is included for added security, and all zippers are conveniently locked. Also, the Alpha Continental has a built-in USB connector that you can use to attach a powerbank (sold separately). This is certainly a high-quality carrier.

If luggage aesthetic is a top priority, Beis The Carry-on Roller might be your best option. The incredibly stylish and functional Carry-On Roller from the brand features a largely monochromatic design with contrasting wheels. On two wheels, even over bumps, it is easy to pull and spin, but when you move it on all four, it can become a little difficult. And you would have no trouble lifting it overhead.

Many people specifically chose this luggage because of its supposed capacity to fit a lot and it delivered. They didn't have any trouble at the airport with the airline saying the carry-on was too big for the plane or anything. This carry-on features two large main compartments, additional pockets with zippers, convenient drawstring bags for dirty shoes and clothing, and a padded divider for a laptop or tablet. The cushioned silicone handle is a nice touch, too. All things considered, this is undoubtedly one of the best carry-on luggage ever.

The Briggs & Riley's Sympatico Domestic Spinner is the most durable of these carry-on luggage listed. It's obvious that this small luggage is expensive. The exceedingly robust, shock-absorbing Makrolon polycarbonate shell sustained exactly zero dents or scratches during the bat and drop tests. It is expected to last for five to 10 years, even if someone traveled frequently.

Beyond its durability, this carry-on is easy to maneuver on hard floors and carpets, around tight corners, and even over bumps. Also, it includes a lot of organizational features and a good amount of packing space. Many reviewers appreciated it for having well-designed features and for having numerous parts that really maximize the space in this small carry-on bag (the pockets, the dividers, the expanding sides). The expander is on the inside, which isn't the most logical placement, so keep that in mind. Other than that, you might like the glossy exterior's design and believe it accurately reflects the high price tag.

Pros: The shock-absorbing Makrolon polycarbonate stands up to dents and scratches, and the wheels glide with ease over bumps and around corners.

Cons: It's expensive, and the expander is located on the inside, which is a little counterintuitive.

The weight of the luggage on this list ranged from 12.9 to 4.36 pounds. The Delsey Paris Clavel Hardside Expandable Luggage is the lightest option on this list, at slightly over 5 pounds. This hardside spinner has a polypropylene (thermoplastic) shell that held up pretty well during the tests, though a particularly hard bat swing did dent it slightly. Even without the expansion, it holds a surprising number of clothing despite its tiny size, and it should easily fit into an overhead bin.

Many testers said this carry-on maneuvers well over cracks and bumps. However, the handle is somewhat short and feels slightly loose. The price is still reasonable and it should be popular more among traveling lovers for its lightweight, fuss-free baggage for shorter trips. If you don't mind the inconvenient handle, which is short and felt a little loose, this suitcase is really worthy of being your partner during your trip.

Samsonite's Outline Pro Spinner is the last suggestion Toplist would like to introduce to you. Samsonite's Outline Pro Spinner has an expandable design that offers multiple sections for packing and organizing all of your belongings, as well as a compression mechanism to make sure you're making the most of the available space. You can easily fit four days' worth of belongings without having to use the expander. With its molded trolley handle, easy-lift top and side grips, and important touchpoints treated with Sam-AMHTM technology to help keep hands clean, this suitcase is one of the best options for your trip.

In particular, even after hitting it repeatedly, there won't be any scratches or dents. The wheels on this carry-on don't seem to be as sturdy as others, and while it turned rather swiftly, it didn't maneuver very well. But, it makes up for it with a sleek appearance, an integrated USB port, and affordable pricing.
