mixiCarry On Luggage with Cup Phone Holder and Charger Hard Shell Suitcases with Spinner Wheels, 20 Inch Avocado Green

I love this suitcase! It is pretty in the yellow color, rolls good, fits a lot of clothes. Top opening instead of middle split is so much better for keeping your clothes nice & not dumping everywhere when you open a middle opening suitcase.The telescoping handle could have been a little taller to accommodate my smaller suitcase to go on top. I plan on getting luggage straps I saw on Amazon to remedy that situation though.

It’s a hard shell, not expandable, and I love it. It has a liquid pocket that I keep my travel shampoo, body wash, and mouth wash in. Another small pocket that I keep Tums/Pepcid in. Enough space for a pair of shoes, 2-3 days of clothes, and my toiletries. I have to smash the lid on each side while I zip it up, but it works. I like the number lock on top. I’ve used this for at least 10 trips now. Wheels still roll, zipper hasn’t snagged, and I expect it’ll last a while. I highly recommend this bag if you need a sturdy, hard shell carry-on.

There are so many things I love about this suitcase. The cup holder is amazing. The wheels are great. The handles seem very sturdy. But my favorite part is the top open design!! It let's me pack so much more neatly and it's so much less of a hassle to open the suitcase.The anti scratch is legit too. In the first photo you can see i had a huge black mark across the front after my first time using it!! I took it home, scrubbed it with a clorox wipe a lot, and it came off!!! With smaller scuffs you can even get them off with your nail!!I love bragging about this suitcase, showing everyone the cup holder, and the phone/purse holder. I would 100% recommend this suitcase!!P.s. It did arrive and look like it had some grass on the plastic it was wrapped in but I wiped it all down with a rag after I bought it anyways so I was not worried about it.

Ordered this 20" carry-on for trip to Japan, because of the top opening lid vs. clamshell, and cupholder.Pros:-Wheels glide smoothly-LOVE the top/front open lid-Handle extends and retracts easily-Locks for securing when needed-Ability to add a battery pack for charging phone on the go-Seems durable and very functional-Takes a lot less space in small/tight quarters, fits onto luggage racks easily-Simple/streamlined outer shell is attractive and has a little flex-Collapsible cupholder a handy featureCons:Too small/not enough capacity for more than a weekend's worth of clothing, shoes, toiletry items unless traveling to a very warm climate where all your items will be super lightweightNot expandableUltimately for me, the lack of capacity outweighed the pros for a week+ of travel where the climate will range from warm to cool. Debating on whether or not to return, as I can see it being useful for weekend travel/"go" bag for emergencies, etc.

The media could not be loaded. My main reason for making this review is to help any future buyers considering to purchase this carry-on because while I was trying to decide to buy this carry-on luggage I was extremely hesitant. It wasn't really a major or well known brand (at least not in the United States), there wasn't really much I could find in terms of reviews outside of Amazon and it was my first time buying a carry-on luggage. And so I wanted to just compile some information that I found helpful and leave them in one place to hopefully help make the next person's decision a little easier.Short Review:I'm loving the Mixi 20 inch carry-on luggage. I have yet to use it on an actual trip, but will be using on a trip coming up soon. I tested it when it arrived, which included testing the cup holder, phone stand, the handle, the charging ports, the tsa lock, the zipper, and wheels. I even filled it with clothes and rolled it around my house on hard wood floors and carpet. After all of that I can confidently say I like it and everything works fine. My only complaint is actually what I expected after reading some reviews for a similar luggage by Hanke (that I found on reddit): the handle to pole connection doesn't have a very smooth transition and so bags placed over the handle are not easily taken off. I don’t think this will be a big issue for me though, but I'll have to see with time.Long review:When I entered the carry-on luggage market I was faced with the BIG question of hard or soft shell. It was certainly overwhelming and I liked the idea of a hard shell, but hated the clam shell opening style, which was unfornately prevalent amongst all the major brands (Samsonite, Monos, Level 8, Away, July, etc.). So I thought that for this sole reason I would end up with a soft shell since I preferred the top opening design. However, I was extremely reluctant to go with a soft shell because of the lack of stand out color options. Enter stage left, Mixi.After searching for a carry-on for a few days and literally saying out loud the day before finding Mixi "I wish there was a hard shell with a soft shell's top opening design", the personalized ads brought me to Mixi via this video by a travel vlogger on youtube. The carry-on immediately piqued my interest and got me excited. I loved the the unique design, the color and the functional little features like the charging ports, cup holder and phone stand. At the same time it raised my skeptic red flags. How could a carry-on like this exist, but not be a hot topic? I didn’t really want to trust a travel vlogger and there honestly wasn't much I could find on the company, which didn't help. And so I hit the reviews. There were tons of reviews, but these two stood out the most and definitely helped me make my decision to purchase.Review on Amazon: Skeptical At First But A True Believer Now https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/review/B0CF5MFM1W/R25ZARUKP5OMR8?ref_=cm_sw_r_apann_dprv_FVAQS4VCC8GD4R2N3QTA_1&language=en_USReview on Amazon: This is the one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/review/B0CF5MFM1W/R1GUN9HVKSAM6O?ref_=cm_sw_r_apann_dprv_FVAQS4VCC8GD4R2N3QTA&language=en_USI won't waste your time by repeating what they said, but I will say that I'm sharing their reviews because I think they did a great job reviewing this product and I would say the same things, which is why I've given it 5 stars. If my opinion of it changes after I give it a real test run, I'll be sure to update this review.
