    Question about the Away bag: If you get the bag without the charger, its the same price as the one with it. It would seem to me that, for the concerns you point out in your video, it would make sense to get the bag with the charger then take it out and leave it out. Maybe keep as a spare or in an emergency kit. The edge to still get the bag without the charger, even though you are paying the same price, is getting a bit of space back in the bag where the battery would have been held. At least I think so, I've never seen the inside of the bag without the charger. Thanks for this fantastic review. It goes into detail I haven't seen with anyone else.

    Brian thank you so much for the detailed breakdown and comparison of the too bags. I had been debating buying away for over a year but your explanation of private labels is eye opening. I had never even heard of Chester prior to watching your video so I'm glad to see there is a similar alternative in the marketplace for less the cost! I'll be purchasing the Chester thanks to your review.

    • @BrianFischer
      @BrianFischer  5 років тому

      Happy I was able to help! You wouldn't believe the amount of private labels out there, I've been meaning to do a separate video on those entirely, but more often than not they're literally the same product, with slight design changes. Let me know how you like the Chester!

  • @nappyboi312
    @nappyboi312 3 роки тому +2

    Nice review. I still preferred the Away for the battery since I liked the idea of convenient storage, but I just saw that the Chester is only $100 so it really doesn't make sense to spend twice as much for minor convenience.

    Fantastic review Brian! We are a startup currently in development of a new smart suitcase (we do not have a website yet, as we are focused totally on the design development of the product and still building out a business plan). Just wanted to say this really was a great analysis and helps us a lot!

    • @BrianFischer
      @BrianFischer  5 років тому

      Hey! Thank you very much I appreciate it! Please keep me up to date on the development, as I'm curious to see what smart technology has in store for the travel industry. I attended the Consumer Electronic Show earlier this year and got the chance to see a carry-on that follows you, rather than having to pull it. I'm excited for what you have in store.

    Thanks for your in depth review. I was looking at Away and Beis when I came across you video. Chester seems like the better value. And, thank you for opining on the batter charger. I thought this was a great addition with the Away, but after hearing your thoughts, I changed my mind and probably saved a little cash too.

    Great video! I am planning to buy a new carry-on in the next month or so. I keep leaning towards the Away due to the Lifetime Warranty and honestly I just like how it looks a little better. Does the Chester have a similar warranty?
    What part of Indiana are you from?! I am about an hour south of Indianapolis here!
    And I am subbing just for those bloopers! lol

    • @BrianFischer
      @BrianFischer  4 роки тому +1

      The Chester does have a similar, 10-year warranty. Now I know what you're thinking, a lifetime is better than a 10-year. However, keep in mind, if you get even close to 10 years out of a carry on that's semi-frequently used, you've gotten your money's worth.
      I am from Southern Indiana! I live in Evansville currently.

  • @teacup.demitasse

  • @budgetnlife3899
    @budgetnlife3899 5 років тому +7

    I honestly think the only thing that might give the Away a slight edge in the Chester is their lifetime warranty, I believe Chester’s is 10 years which is still amazing in my opinion.

    • @BrianFischer
      @BrianFischer  5 років тому

      That's a very good point! At this point, I haven't been able to actually test whether or not a bag will last a full 10 years or not and honestly I'm not all too sure a startup like Away or Chester will be around that long. They could be bought, dissolved, etc. If I'm looking for a true "lifetime" warranty, I'm going with a company that's been around for awhile, Briggs And Riley for example, for over 25 years. But that comes with a price! amzn.to/2MOjQfz

      Hey JB, unfortunately there's isn't a "discount" for the Away carry on. When you purchase through my link, you'll receive an in-store credit for your next purchase and that's it. You can receive a discount on the Chester though ($19.50) to bring your total to $175.50 before tax. When you get to the checkout, enter "bmf" (without the quotes) in the coupon code area and you'll see the discount take place.
      Thanks!

      You may be right! It isn't uncommon for some factories to supply similarily designed products to various brands. I don't know if Go Penguin or Chester or Away are all supplied by the same manufacturer. However, I will tell you this though, I have personally talked to the Chester founder. He's located here in America and is a very honest guy. Their customer service is top notch and they're more than just an "Amazon Brand".
