Travelpro Platinum Elite Large Expandable Spinner review

The Platinum Elite Large Expandable Spinner is the biggest bag here. Travelpro lists 143.5 L, a built-in fold-out suiter, 2 inches of expansion, MagnaTrac spinner wheels and a PowerScope handle with Contour Grip, with water and stain resistant fabric. It weighs 5.22 kg, about 11.5 lb. Travelpro is candid about size in its own FAQ: the bag measures 159 cm by case dimensions and 170 cm including wheels and handles, against a 158 cm standard limit, and Travelpro says most airlines accept it but a strict carrier may charge an oversize fee. It also warns that at this volume you can out-pack a 23 kg allowance, so pair it with a luggage scale. Travelpro's store served us European pricing, and its US store was rate-limiting our checks, so the US price and US warranty terms are pending. Its European page lists a 10 year warranty.
