After 3 years of rigorous testing, The Wirecutter Bestows 1st and 2nd Place Awards to Travelpro Luggage
Travelpro, the original inventor of Rollaboard® luggage and a market leader in innovative, high-quality luggage design, received an unprecedented honor from The Wirecutter, a cutting-edge source known for its rigorous testing of the ‘best gadgets and gear for people who quickly want to know what to get.’ This site for those in the know and on the go tested 31 bags over the last three years and determined that the Travelpro® Platinum® Magna™ 2 22″ Expandable Rollaboard Suiter is the best carry-on bag on the market. The Travelpro Crew™ 10 22″ Expandable Rollaboard Suiter received the 2nd place award. .
According to The Wirecutter, “The Platinum Magna 2 22″ Expandable Rollaboard Suiter easily packs five days’ worth of clothes into the maximum allowed carry-on dimensions and offers many of the premium touches you’d expect from a $500 suitcase for about half that price. Its lifetime warranty also covers airline damage – a rarity at any cost.” Citing innovative features and great value, the website reports that for savvy and sophisticated flyers, this 22″ carry-on model offers the best balance of size, price, reliability, and durability, with high-end details.
Scott Applebee, Travelpro’s Vice President of Marketing, remarked on this extraordinary achievement by saying, “We are honored that the judges recognized two of our outstanding products, even noting that the Platinum Magna 2 is better balanced and less prone to tipping than comparable models, and has a sleeker higher-end aesthetic.” He commented that “The Wirecutter also praised our new built-in garment folder with a removable folding board which increases the bag’s overall packing flexibility.”
As The Wirecutter said about their top pick, the very similar Crew 10 22″ Rollaboard is your next best choice and both bags received excellent reviews. The Crew 10 model, which came in 2nd place, has the same high quality wheels, zippers, and built-in garment folder as the 1st place Platinum model.
The choices of best products determined by The Wirecutter involves an entire team which takes weeks or months of research and testing, including interviews and data from the best editorial and user sources around, and the help of engineers, scientists, and experts.
