Comparison of Travelpro Maxlite 5 and Platinum Elite 21" spinners
I was choosing between these two models of Travelpro luggage and figured before I sent back the one I am not keeping, I'd show you the specific differences.
The video does not show the larger pockets on the front of the suitcase (sorry), which are practically identical between the two. Neither of those pockets have a secondary padded pocket for a laptop, like some other Travelpro luggage.
My first product review... plenty to improve on, but have to start somewhere...

    Decent review, but why on earth would you choose to shoot in vertical mode rather than horizontal. It made it difficult to watch.

    It would have been so much better using a tripod or getting a friend to hold your phone/camera while you showed the features. Good review but is the Elite worth $300 more???

    Fantastic review 👍🏽👍🏽and Can you use the platinum elite 21 as a carry on JetBlue or delta or American airlines without being charged a carry-on fee cause I wanna buy one for my trip in next year and how many clothes can fit inside of it and can you put a pair of shoes or sneakers with your clothes and still have room

    Any difference in upright stability between the two? I have a Maxlite5 that always tips over when it's full. Irritates the hell out of me every time I'm at an airport. Wondering if the Elite model can defy physics and is less tippy?

    • @charlesborlase2238

      wife has the 25" eilte (brand new...her first trip with it): we just returned from a new york/cruise/montreal trip with multiple hotel moves. my old 28" Samsonite was very tippy and hard to wrangle. I found her elite 25" dreamy. No tipping. Not sure if she ever had it expanded though. I will add that she had a small duffel hanging from the handle, which also didn't make the overall bag tippy. Her bag was packed to about 49 lbs (it was JUUSSSSSTTTT under the limit, as was mine)

    My E350 2014 4matic it makes same noise when accelerating. Is that normal? What did you do to eliminate that noise?

    • @fredganter7215
      @fredganter7215 Рік тому

      If it's like the noise in the video, you'll need motor mounts replaced. I took mine to a Mercedes mechanic, not the Mercedes dealer, and it was about 25% cheaper.

    • @eagleeagle681
      @eagleeagle681 Рік тому

      Yes it's pretty much same noise like in the video. I kind of tested engine mounts myself but engine itself not moved when I accelerate, usually when engine mounts go bad the engine will move, vibrate and make noise when you change gears from parking to drive and parking to reverse. Anyway since I have 500 miles warranty left, I will take it to the dealer soon. I made appointment. Two mechanics told me that noise is normal.
