New Yorker Lightweight Expandable Rolling Luggage, Red/Gray, 4-Piece Set

This US Travelers New Yorker luggage set is a home run if you have realistic expectations. I toiled over which set to buy and went cross-eyed reading all the mixed bag reviews. After much deliberation, and thanks in part to a sale, I settled on this set (actually bought two sets ). Here is a breakdown of what all the other reviews taught me, a synopsis of our experiences with this luggage and a helpful hint to increase the look and durability of these suitcases: First off, the luggage looks very upscale; the front side is vibrantly colored (in this case royal blue), and the tightly woven fabric has good fit & finish. There are two metal zipper pulls on each compartment which is convenient, however the zippers themselves and the pull attachments are adequate but not of superior durability. The bags are generously sized, deeper than our previous (Atlantic brand) set and this allows the bags to swallow a lot more stuff yet remain portable. The insides are fully lined and contain straps to secure the contents. While the lining is thin and not the highest quality, it is a nice feature on a set in this price range; our previous set cost twice as much fifteen years ago and had no lining. Each of the pull pieces have two nicely functioning wheels and an expandable handle to let you drag the bag behind; you can even attach the duffel bag onto an extended handle via a back strap. Speaking of the handles- although none of them have given out on us yet, these handles are a bit awkward to use and will possibly be the first things to act up as they are the flimsiest part of this luggage set. The farther you telescope them out, the more likely they feel as if they are going to break under the weight of the bag, especially if the bags are filled. HINT: A good hint with which I can "pay it forward" is to Scotch-Guard Fabric them prior to using. I picked up a can and sprayed the sets prior to use and that five dollar investment is helping these bags avoid all sorts of staining and discoloring at the hands of the baggage claim and after repeated uses they still look great. Overall, this set was a terrific buy for my family's needs and should be the same for most casual travelers as well. Again, have realistic expectations from what a set of this price should deliver and I think you will be pleased. I posted a few pics of this luggage set so you can visualize what they look like and how they all fit or "nest" together during storage. Should there be any noteworthy experiences (good or bad) as we use them in the future, I will be sure to update. Good luck. UPDATE: 7/2016: After several more uses, this luggage set continues to function well and look very nice. The handles I mocked in my initial write up still feel a bit flimsy but they are holding up fine. The only other minor issue we have seen is that the metal skeleton between the lining and the outer fabric that helps keep the suitcase's shape is stretching the fabric in the corners of some of the pieces...it is not yet effecting the performance but it looks a bit unsightly on the black bottom-side of some of the pieces. No big deal and I continue to be impressed with this set. UPDATE 11/2019: 4+ years in and this luggage set is still going strong. No handles have broken, the wheels (although not 360 spinners) work great and they continue to look almost new. My sister in law bought the exact same set for her and her family and also loves it. I've upped from four to five stars because there have been no durability issues.

is good luggage the best thing is get biger by open the siper this get more room and is lightweight and easy to carry in thankx to amazon for good price.

I recently purchased the U.S. Traveler New Yorker luggage set, and overall, I'm quite satisfied with my purchase. While it may not boast the highest quality materials, it has proven to be durable enough for my needs. As someone who tends to be hard on luggage sets and tired of replacing more expensive bags every year, I appreciate the balance of affordability and functionality that this set offers. One of the standout features is its expandable design, providing an additional 25% more packing capacity when needed. This has been incredibly useful for accommodating last-minute items or souvenirs acquired during travel. However, one aspect I wish was different is the wheel configuration. Fixed wheels can be a bit cumbersome, especially when navigating crowded airports or busy streets. Spinner wheels would have offered greater maneuverability and ease of use. Nevertheless, the set's construction from tear-resistant fabric and its thoughtful design features, such as multiple front zippered pockets and interior organization compartments, make it a practical choice for frequent travelers. In conclusion, while there is room for improvement, particularly in the wheel department, the U.S. Traveler New Yorker luggage set represents a solid value proposition. It meets my needs for durability and functionality without breaking the bank, making it a worthwhile investment for budget-conscious travelers.

Very nice.

These just came today. They all look nice with no damage. All zippers, belts straps work. The do stink a little. Came when said. I so far I am very please. Nice size, colors. I was surprised by the mini locks on the 3 siutcases. They have handles on top side, and bottom of suitcase. The have a pull strap on the top. They all have extend handles The out side pockets on the front are nice size for newspapers ,tablets, books etc. They are about 2 inches thick. The big part of each suitcase expands out 2 more inches. They also have ID pocket on back. The lining inside has a zipper, so you could put shoes, dirty clothes between it and clean. Or maybe that secret place to put a card money. The lid part of the suitcase has a vented pouch plus pockets for shoes . It also has 2 hold down straps that have a push button. They are bigger then I thought. But I think Im most surprised by the tote bag. I actually put 3 full boxes of tissues in it. See photo. It has a a handle plus a strap and a front pocket also. They all look like the are will made. Granted for the price. I really am surprised. I would recommend. We dont travel by air so dont know how they would hold up. I bet they would be fine. Unless you are one who travels weekly.

This luggage set has a great price for 3 suitcases and a little bag. Things to know though, the cases are more narrow than a standard case. They still fit a lot of clothing, but it was unexpected. Also, they do NOT have spinner wheels, so you can't push it easily through an airport. You have to tip it and then pull it behind you, which can really start to be a pain depending on how long you have to drag them around and how heavy they are. They aren't very steady, and have a tendency to fall to one side or the other, so you are frequently having to stop and set them upright, and then start dragging again. Because of this side-to-side instability, you can't set a purse or duffle on the top while you're walking bc it's constantly falling off and knocking the suitcase over, you have to carry the purse/duffle. So now you're dragging a heavy suitcase and having to carry your carry-on on the other shoulder. The telescoping handles have two heights that are pretty sturdy and don't collapse, which is nice. The suitcases themselves are very light, so that's also nice. They have a zipper to be expandable, but if you use that option, the suitcase will become unbalanced and fall on its face, it won't stand up. If you just need a cheap case for casual, short visit travel, these are fine, but if you have any significant traveling to do I would get something more sturdy and with better wheels.

We needed a big suitcase so we would only have to pay for one checked bag on our 2 week vacation in Feb. After reviewing the options, we ordered this set. (We didn't want to spend a lot of money to have the luggage thrown around in baggage handling) We ordered at the last minute so paid extra for faster shipping, but still got it in plenty of time! For the price, it's a good product, and we were able to get a complete set instead of just one suitcase. Material is pretty durable & strong! I like how deep the suitcases are & the large checked suitcase made it through without any visible signs of damage! I was a little dissappointed that the small carry on didn't stand up well when packed (we had to lean it on the larger suitcase) and it didn't expand as much as we would have liked, but because the suitcases are deep, we found that we didn't really need to expand them anyway. We both travel with a rolling 21" carry on plus a shoulder bag, so we still had plenty of packing room. My husband actually used the shoulder bag from this set for our reading materials, chargers, & of course our snacks! We travel 3 or 4 times a year & feel this luggage will last us for quite a few years! I would recommend this luggage!

This set was a disappointment for me. Although you do get quite a few pieces of luggage, the quality falls short. I finally got around to using two of the suitcases, and upon lifting one out of the car at the airport, the handle snapped. It was not very heavy at all, not even completely full. This was the first time I had even taken the suitcase out of my house for use. Although only one has broken, I question the durability of the rest. Also, the front zipper sections cause the cases to be very front heavy if used, and because these cases don’t have four wheels, they just tip right over. I had them flipping around and falling over all through the airport. Overall, I think I’ll bite the bullet and spend more money for 360 wheels and a better quality case. **update after arriving home** I am even more disappointed than before. I will preface this by saying that I understand that sometimes airports throw your luggage around, causing damage to your bags. However, having never use these bags prior to this trip, there’s absolutely no excuse for how much damage these bags have collected. They are ripped apart. I took them off the baggage claim today, and was a appalled by their condition. I am including photos that will hopefully do some justice to show what they look like. There are multiple holes punched through the sides and back. The front looks like the airport dragged it across concrete, which again I understand is on them. But still, suitcases should be at least a little more durable than this crappy material. Clearly, these bags cannot hold up any type of potential rough travel. Unless you’re planning on using these bags for road trips exclusively, or somewhere where you know airport workers will not handled them poorly, I would not get these bags. I’m hoping the original seller will contact me, as I can find no information to get ahold of them and try and get a refund. Unfortunately, my Amazon has already timed out for return as I did not travel until two months after purchase for the first time with these bags. Overall very disappointing experience and a huge waste of money.
