mixi Carry On Luggage with Cup Phone Holder and Charger Hard Shell Suitcases with Spinner Wheels,20 Inch Rock Gray

I really struggled to decide what I wanted in my new carryon! There are so many improvements nowadays. I was really tempted by the new wide handles, but I knew I needed to be able to strap on my puppy carrier and they aren't made for the wide handles yet. :( At least mine wasn't) So.... This one seemed to check off my other wants. Charge port with USB-C, cupholder (although I was skeptical about its durability), extra hooks for bags and stuff. But really what I was after was the trunk style! I had just returned from 10 days traveling to Ireland and Scotland (6 flights!) and was about to embark on 6 more flights stateside to visit kids. It was time to upgrade and this suitcase did not disappoint! My husband was rather annoyed that I didn't want to check my bag. Why have to "lug it around" he said. Well, there was no lugging with this! The wheels rolled so smoothly. My husband commented several times what a smooth 'ride' it was. And he kept taking from me! In fact, he wanted to hang HIS bag on it all the time. And I'm pretty sure he bought me the oversized water on purpose so he could use the cupholder for his coffee! After having to flop open my traditional suitcase on the floor to access anything, being able to simply set this carry on on the dresser and lift the "lid" was so nice! I was able to pack 7 days of clothes and two pairs of shoes, a jacket and my toiletry bag comfortably. No need for expansion! (Which they won't allow a carryon to be expanded anyway.) Even fully packed it wasn't so heavy I couldn't lift it one handed. And in 6 flights, mine was the only buttery yellow that I saw, you couldn't miss it. So you attach a portable battery pack in a small pocket inside the suitcase to use the external ports. Which is fine, just make sure it is fully charged. However, the very last flight (1 in 6!) demanded that I remove the battery at the gate when they were going to put it under the plane. Annoying. However! I was able to get right to it in under 60 seconds because it was so easy to lift the lid and get to it! And I didn't have to take up a bunch of floor space at the gate and expose my entire contents either. This carryon is a keeper. The wheels and handle feel sturdy and smooth. It's a pretty color: cheery but not obnoxious. I can spot it a mile away amongst the sea of suitcases. It was strong enough to support my husband's carry on while rolling. I still feel that the cupholder is the weakest thing on it, but it still functions smoothly, neatly and did it's job. I didn't have to hunt for or share a charging station at the airport. I am happy with this case and am considering getting the full size to check for bigger trips!

After seeing an influencer youtube video, we decided to give this a try, as I truly hate dealing with clamshell cases. They end up on the floor of hotel rooms and I dash my feet on them, they are difficult to close and have other issues. But this Mixi model will hold just as much {really!} is easy to pack and won’t be in the way in a hotel room. We recently ued it to fly to NY, spend a week there, took the QM2 to Southampton {with some formal wear}, spent a week in England and another In Scotland, with my wife using only this bag and a personal item. Fits well into the overhead on our several flights. Well made, great materials and sturdy. Good wheels that were OK on rough streets although it is also not hard to carry The avocado color is fun and easy to identify. Fits well on British trains. The fun cupholder and handle hooks gained admiring eyes from others. You will need good compression bags for a long trip like ours, but we just loved the versatility and how compact this bag is. The single zipper is very high quality and the locking system is perfect. Done with clamshells! Would give it 6 stars if I could.

This will likely be my new go-to carry-on suitcase. I initially bought it because my old one was starting to crack, and this model stood out for its unique side-opening design. I thought it would be more convenient than the typical clamshell layout, and while it does save some space when opening, it’s not quite as perfect in practice as I hoped. The pockets on the opening flap are quite tight, fine for documents or slim items, but not ideal for anything bulkier. The bottom section still has the typical handle rails that make packing and utilizing the space a bit awkward, and the strap layout can be mildly frustrating, as the securing straps and lid-support straps sometimes get in each other’s way. Another thing to note is that this suitcase does not expand, so if you tend to shop while traveling, you’ll want to leave a bit of extra room or plan to carry items separately. That said, the build quality feels solid, the spinner wheels roll smoothly, and the color and finish look fantastic. Despite its quirks, this is a well-made and stylish suitcase that offers a fresh take on the carry-on design.

Overall a good suitcase. It’s not a true 20” in length though (about 19” without wheels and handles). Rolls smoothly. The lid has straps to kept it upright, so it doesn’t flop all the way open if you don’t want it to. The handle extends 40.5” from the ground. Weighs 6.8 pounds. The cup holder won’t fit a Stanley or similar handle cup, but will fit a narrow water bottle. Phone fits the length of the stand that’s built into the handle (I have a iPhone 13 pro), but barely- it might slip off, but an iPad would easily sit on there. Can’t really test durability until I fly with it, but that’s my initial review.

This suitcase is awesome! I’ve only used it got 1 trip so can’t comment on durability yet. I love the top-load style, much easier to pack and make better use of space. I fit a full sized keyboard tucked into the side, that would not have worked in a 50/50 set up. Held clothes for 4 nights, CPAP, shoes, snacks, keyboard, and more. The charger ports works as expected and there’s a nice sized pocket inside for your battery pack. Handle is sturdy, comfortable. Rolls nice. The cup holder was very handy. Hooks/device holder are not necessary but can be handy to hang a small item or whatever. Unfortunately, it did not fit in the overhead bin on a small Air Canada plane, it was about a half inch too thick to slide in. Huge hassle since I was boarding in the middle of the pack and discovering I had to gate check blocked traffic in the aisle.

Quite stiff as doesn't expand nor much room to add Heavy when empty

Fantastic Carry-On! The Mixi PC Hardside is a Winner! I absolutely love my Mixi Carry-on PC Hardside luggage! The durable PC exterior handled travel beautifully, keeping my items safe. Inside, the thoughtful organization made packing a breeze. The cup holder is a brilliant addition – so handy for coffee on the go! Best of all, the spinner wheels are incredibly smooth, making airport navigation effortless. This is a stylish, well-built, and highly functional carry-on that made my trip so much easier. Highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful piece of luggage. Functional, lightweight, durable and spacious. 👍🏽👍🏽 Delivered quickly and in great shape.

Absolutely love this little suitcase. It carries much more than you’d expect and is a good quality hard case. Very easy to roll. It is lockable which is a bonus especially since it’s a combination lock. The best features for me is the cup holder and the built in charging feature is a close second. You do still need a power bank for the latter.
