Amazon.com: Customer reviews: TUMI - Alpha 2 Continental Expandable 4 Wheeled Carry-On Luggage - 22 Inch Rolling Suitcase for Men and Women

Top positive review

Great carry-on for the international traveler.

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2016

While expensive, this luggage fits an amazing amount of stuff, and keeps my suits relatively wrinkle-free. The build quality is great. At first I was worried that the thin plastic liner would break, but it's remarkably resilient. I also travel internationally quite a lot and have never had a problem bringing it as a carry-on.

You won't regret upgrading!

I hesitated to spend so much money on a suitcase, but Tumi does not disappoint. I had been waiting for a 4-wheeled soft shell suitcase from them for awhile and was excited to see this come out. It rolls extremely smoothly over any surface and I haven't had an issue fitting this on domestic or international overhead bins. The way the handle and wheels are structured maximizes the amount of "real" packing space you have which was critical for me!

I travel every week for work and having the compartment to hang my clothes (any dry cleaning hanger will fit, you don't need to buy the Tumi ones) makes my packing and unpacking so much faster! I wasn't sure I would use that feature, but it has really come in handy. The extra protection on the corners of the bag have proven to protect my bag when I check it in. Those have gotten scratched up due to aggressive baggage handling, but the bag itself has stayed in perfect condition!

Even though I bought this on Amazon, Tumi warranty covers the bag and I didn't have any issue when the luggage tag on the side fell off. They replaced it quickly.

This is another great design from Tumi

This is another great design from Tumi. Strong, functional and built to last. This is my fourth Tumi bag, (I have traveled more them 6,000,000 miles). I believe this is the best bag on the market for road warriors.

Do not buy. Worst tumi bag ever.

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2017

Verified Purchase

I'm not sure who designed this bag but it is definitely too small for a business traveler. The slot that is supposed to hold your hanger is too narrow. Your normal hanger won't fit. See the photo. I guess you have to buy the separate tumi hanger for $35 to be able to hang a suit in this bag. The clip itself is only supported by a piece of rubber as well. Not nearly enough space for a suit and 2 shirts. The bag is also much smaller than advertised. I placed it next to my current carry on bag. You can easily see the difference. Way too narrow. Inches shorter than a normal carry on. As a result, even if the hanger fit, your suit still wouldn't. See the photo. This is a 42L size jacket. Clearly too wide for the bag, I can jam it in but that defeats the purpose of having a suit section in the bag. Bottom line: I am very disappointed in this bag. It's going back to amazon tomorrow. Poor design tumi.

... over a year now and it may be the worst carry-on I have owned over the last thirty years ...

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2018

I have owned this Tumi bag for a little over a year now and it may be the worst carry-on I have owned over the last thirty years of business travel. The wheels are not good, even on a hard surfaces they do not roll easily. The zipper to the large pocket on the front broke during a recent trip. I have never even used that pocket...
I read a lot of reviews on this bag before I made the purchase and they were overwhelmingly positive, so not sure what happened with my bag.
The bag is attractive though...

I feel this suitcase is much better built than anything I have used before

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

I travel every week for work. In the past I always would purchase cheaper luggage that would usually last me 1 year. I feel this suitcase is much better built than anything I have used before. You can feel the difference right away. This is a sturdy luggage made really well. The wheels are silent and it rolls effortless.

Doesn’t seem to hold up like the previous one

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2019

So far I’ve use the bag for three short trips and I’m surprised how much and wear it showing. I may considering returning. In comparison to the same brand doesn’t seem to be made of the same materials.

Cheaper material over older Alpha - not worth the premium

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

I have an older Alpha 22021DH which is a two wheeler which I love but wanted the 4 wheel version. I didn't really think much about it and just clicked buy but when I received the Alpha2 I knew straight away that I would be returning it.

The fabric looks less study than the older one but the biggest problem are the zippers - they just look flimsy compared to the older one.
It was the fabric, zippers, and sturdy design that was worth the premium over other brands and Tumi has clearly moved to cheapen costs.
