Verage Underseat Carry On Luggage with Wheels & USB Port,14 inch Wheeled Spinner Carry-on Luggages Bags for Airlines, Lightweight Overnight Suitcase for Men Women (14-Inch Compact Underseat Pro)

I have evaluated 12 different wheeled underseater pieces of luggage while looking for the best one (or two) that meets my specific needs. See my feature ranking chart photo for my data. My personal scoring is based on my weighted ranking of the features based on their importance to me while compare each underseater.My goal is to find the best underseat carryon bag with wheels to complement my backpack for when I travel. I utilize Bagsmart Blast backpacks for much of my stuff because they can be packed such to be stowed underseat or filled as much as a full size carryon. I wanted to find an underseat luggage bag for extra storage and with 360 wheels to place below my backpack instead of having to carry the backpack on my back or by hand. Also, if I forgo my backpack for a full size carryon, then I want the underseat luggage to be easily carried on top of it.My main motive is to have my underseater accepted by the most airlines as a personal item which AI states the normal measurements to be under 18x14x8. There are various airline seats with more or less room underneath, and some airlines restrict or relax the personal item size even more, but for my evaluation I will use the stated AI values as my normal.My criteria:1. Weight2. Size3. Price4. Comfortable and sturdy pull handle5. Stability when standing with a loaded backpack on top6. Accessible place for holding a thermal 3” diameter water bottle7. Solid and stable wheels8. Quality easy moving zippers9. Easy handling when lifted to overhead bins, and while carried if handle is retracted10. Quick access to passport and tickets11. Quick access to phone and cables12. Adequate storage area for my stuff13. Ease of being placed on handle of a carry-on14. Personal appeal - coverings, materials, color aesthetics15. USB support16.

Verage Toledo Carry On Luggage Softside Suitcase with Spinner Wheels12. Verage Visionary 14.5-Inch Plus Underseat Pro with Wheels and USBMy plan is to add my review in each of the items pages including this prolog, the review of the specific bag, followed by a common summary of which bag or bags I kept with an explanation as to why. I am giving my own personal opinions in this review to which a reader may feel differently because everyone has their own preferences and needs when they travel.Conclusion:In the end, I had a hard time deciding between these five bags for various reasons.1. LUGGEX Underseat Carry On Hard-Side Luggage with Wheels = Score/67. Ended up being just too small to hold enough for the price, but loved the hardside concept and stability.2. Lekebobor (Lekeinchi) Rolling Laptop Bag Rolling 15” Laptop Briefcase on Wheels ВP-683017BK01 = Score/90, it came in second place.3. Lekebobor Rolling Laptop Bag Rolling 15-17” Laptop Briefcase on Wheels BP-683017BKL01 = Score/81, it is just too big, but is a good choice as a carry-on.4. Verage Toledo Carry On Luggage Softside Suitcase with Spinner Wheels = Score/86, the foolish flashlight feature in the handle that is hard to change batteries along with a grip that I felt unacceptable made it less than the best. A phone has a convenient flashlight feature, I do not see any value to this feature on a piece of luggage.5. Verage Visionary 14.5-Inch Plus Underseat Pro with Wheels and USB = Score/96, clearly the winner based on my criteria.I decided to keep two.I am keeping the Verage Visionary Plus Underseat Pro because it hit most of my needs perfectly. If they only had added internal organizer pockets for pens, passport, AirPod, etc, it would have scored even higher. It is a bit too big to be used as an underseater in some aircraft, but its overall score tells me that it will serve me well just as it is. It had the most comfortable handle of all the bags I tried. I wanted to like the Verage Toledo, but there were so many issues. The handle was terrible to grip and had that useless flashlight feature and although it was longer, it had more trouble extending and retracting into positions. The wheels were much worse while walking on carpet and the zippers seemed to catch in too many places. The water bottle pocket, power cell pocket and the internal organizer were better implementations than the Visionary line, but not by enough value to sway me.I am also keeping the Lekebobor (Lekeinchi) Rolling Laptop Briefcase on Wheels because it will fit in the underseat of more airlines when the wheels are removed and because it has individual places for more things like my phone and cables and pens and has a nice padded removable laptop pouch if needed. Its wider stance is more stable when my backpack was on top than most of the narrower bags, and it fit better atop my carry-on with the wheels easily removed.

So far so good. Great wheels, same size as my tried and true Travel Pro I got years ago from T.J. Maxx. I needed something with more sturdy wheels as I take the subway and then to airport shuttle train from JFK, LGA and Newark. I am hard on the wheels. Hopefully this holds up. While the brand was founded in 1958 in Manchester, UK, by William Moore, who came from a family of harness makers. Their headquarters are now in China.

Purchased July 2022 and still working great.This suitcase is perfect for a personal item for the plane or for weekend trips (think 2-3 days of clothing). I've had it for over a year and have traveled ALLEGIANT, BREEZE, and FRONTIER with just a personal item (I did NOT pay for a carry-on), and this has not had an issue. I wanted to post this because I scoured reviews for a bag that fit those requirements and wanted to let others know this bag has been great for those airlines. This past weekend, Frontier did a bag check specifically on my bag, and it passed without issue. (NOTE: it did get a little wedged into the baggage check station, but the flight attendant was able to get it out in 5 seconds with a bit of maneuvering. It may also have been that my hand sanitizer clipped to the top made it a tighter fit.) No bag check was done with either Allegiant or Breeze when I flew with them. I plan to fly both quite frequently, and will update this review when my bag is checked again or the bag itself breaks.BAG USAGEI would recommend making sure that the bag isn't overstuffed. Mine was flat on the way out and slightly overstuffed on the way back. It may have an issue if you jam it full.WHAT IT HOLDSI can take three days of clothing, a swimsuit, flip-flops, and all my toiletries. I also travel for work, so I can stick in my laptop and cord, a mouse and mousepads, and 2-3 client files (fairly thick). I have a few snacks in the side pocket. I'll update this with pictures soon.I do suggest using packing cubes. I use 2 small sized compression packing cubes for this specific bag.CONSAfter a year of use, the only con I've found is that the handle feels a little flimsy when I roll it by my side instead of pulling it behind me. No issues yet, but it did cause me concern at the beginning. I would say it's on par with my $60 carry-on rolling suitcase.The bag also doesn't have a lot of compartments in comparison with some other luggage, so if you are doing a security check and need to pull out electronics or the liquids bag from the main compartment, everyone will see everything. Meaning potentially your unmentionables. This is another reason why packing cubes are awesome. There are two great side compartments and a front compartment for a laptop and flat items. The front pocket is perfect to hold your wallet, papers, or receipts. Basically anything that is flat.HOW OFTEN I USE THE BAG/TRAVELI travel for work about 4-6x per year on short trips via plane and then numerous 2-day trips outside of that. I travel quite a bit and have gone through a lot of luggage over the years. I have Away luggage as my main set for longer trips, but I use this as my short trip bag. It's been great for the budget planes where I don't want to pay for a carry-on or to check a bag. I have never had a security check with this bag or the items I've had in it. I can travel for 4 days and this carries 3 days of clothing well. I've also been known to take some laundry soap and just wash something in the sink and let it dry if I really want to make this squeeze another day or two.

This is what I expected but the zips are a bit stiff and stick. Other than that it works exactly like I thought it would and is perfect for putting at my feet or in any lockers even the small regional jets. Not so good on top of a suitcase, too high and takes the entire pulling handle making the case top heavy, then it falls over. Better just to push it separately. They have another model with the strap sideways that is better

Did four days in China in business casual- even pilot said cool bag

Too small. Wish I returned it
