Suitcases with Wheels

If you're like me and take a lot of bits and pieces when traveling, regardless of whether you're going away for a week or just a weekend, it can be very beneficial to look into cheap luggage sets. The main reason why I really like the cheap luggage sets is because they come in many various shapes and sizes, and you have the options of either taking only one piece, or taking the complete set. One of the main factors to consider when purchasing a set is whether you want to buy a Hardcase Set or a Soft Case Set.  Both of these have their pros and cons:

Hard Case Luggage Sets Pros	Hard Case Luggage Sets Cons
Alot tougher than material bags, and also stain Resistant	More expensive than Soft Case Sets
Alot more protection when packing jewellery and valuables	Less Packing Flexibility
Perfect for protecting electronic valuables from water and / or condensation
Most are made from lightweight molded polycarbonate which flexes on impact

 

Soft Case Luggage Sets Pros	Soft Case Luggage Sets Cons
Larger Variety of Style and Price	Not all soft case sets are waterproof
Able to compress the luggage Case into tighter Spaces	Not suitable to protect valuables
Alot more flexible when packing, so you can fit a bit more into the suitcases

Cheap Luggage Sets

  Here are some pointers when choosing cheap luggage sets: Value for money: Are you getting your moneys worth?? Just because you are looking for a cheap set, does not mean that you have to look for cheap quality. Think of it like the nike shoe vs the store brand shoe, some of the sets have big huge price tags because of the brand "label".... but alot of the time you will find better quality in store brand suitcases. Diversity: A variety of different shapes and sizes gives overall flexibility when looking for a set. Look for a set that includes a carry-on, a tote or toilet bag, and something that can hold your keys and passport (very important when you're at the airport). Type of Fabric: You can choose from hard sided suitcases to soft sided suitcases when it comes to cheap luggage sets. They both have their pros and cons. If you choose a fabric suitcase, make sure that the textile is made of high quality Denier Heavy-Duty Polyester. This material is extremely durable and sturdy. It makes the set very capable of tolerating any harsh handling that can occur in the airports, rail stations or whilst loading / unloading both before and after transit. Handles: Most of the suitcases these days come with recessed locking retracting handles, and this is great when pulling them along at the airport or bus / train stations, but when you come to lift the bags and suitcases, make sure that they have side handles as well. There's nothing worse than struggling to lift a suitcase onto an inspection area or upper airline compartment when you can't grip the darn bag properly. Color: There are so many colors and designs available, if you can... stay away from the black. It makes it so so so much easier to spot your luggage amongst the sea of other luggage when collecting your bags. Warranty: Does your set come with a warranty?? Something that you should always check out. Wheels: Regardless of whether the suitcases have spinner wheels or in-line skate wheels, there is no doubt that wheels help with maneuverability. Any Extras: Some cheap luggage sets come with little clips that can strap the smaller bags onto the bigger bags, I love these sets because they help you to simply wheel the bags together with one hand, instead of having both of your hands full. It is particularly handy when you are at an overcrowded busy place.

There are many different choices when it comes to Cheap Suitcases with wheels. Just because you are looking for low cost, does not mean that you have to look for low quality. There are many top quality cheap suitcases available. When look for a cheap suitcase, there are several things that you need to consider.

Is the Suitcase lightweight?

Suitcases with wheels are extremely handy... there's no doubt about it, but one thing that alot of people forget to take into consideration is that the wheels and ball bearings needed to cart the suitcase around add extra weight, so you need to make sure that you have lightweight suitcases that allow for this extra bit of weight especially when airlines charge for overweight baggage.

Hard Case Luggage or Soft??

Which one do you need? Hard Case luggage and soft case luggage both have their pros and cons. Hard Case Luggage is perfect for protecting your electronic valuables from water or condensation during travel.  They also give valuables a bit more protection as well. However they are not as flexibility when packing is limited. Most hard case luggage is now made from molded polycarbonate which is extremely light, but also flexes to absorb impact when under stress, and then returns back to it's normal state when released. The Caribbean Joe Spinner Set, is a perfect example of this. Soft Case luggage also has it's advantages. The main one being, that you are able to compress the luggage into tight spaces a lot easier than the hard case luggage, it also allows you to fit more clothing in with the slight give in the material. If you are going to choose soft case luggage, make sure that the material is lightweight, yet robust enough to protect your clothing and valuables during transit. Allow for mishaps in weather and make sure that the case is water proof.

Color

You will notice that A LOT of suitcases are black or brown. If you look outside of these colors, you will find that there is now a huge variety of different vibrant colors, which makes it much much easier when trying to identify your suitcase on the airport conveyor belt, or alongside other luggage. The colours that the Samsonite Spinner comes in is amazing.

Is the Suitcase Expandable?

Some people don't really require an expandable suitcase, but what is the harm in having it there if you need extra packing capacity? Increasing the volume of your bag can help hugely, especially when you are coming home with those few extra bits and pieces that you have found on your travels. Below I have listed the cheapest best selling suitcases available on Amazon. I have put them in order from cheapest to most expensive. Just hover over the images, and you will see the prices.
