Recommended suitcases that are easy to use | Good texture, lightweight wheels, easy to push, super high C/P value, German NaSaDen’s new worry-free series rose gold unpacking + tips for selecting suitcases that are not overweight
Today, I'm going to recommend a great suitcase again.
Super high C/P value, good quality, and lightweight!
Last year, I switched to a NaSaDen German suitcase.
I must say, once I tried it, I was hooked.
I quickly bought one for my mom too.
It's practical, looks good, and the price is affordable.
However, because the model I originally used was heavier when empty
(Lindhof series, now discontinued)
I bought my mom thelighter and more compact carefree series.
After using it, I found it convenient and spacious.
Now they've launched new beautiful colors with a brushed anti-scratch finish.
Giessen Lake Green and Bergen Red.
I definitely have to share them with you all!
If you've followed NaSaDen's group buys before, you'll know
that they were scolded by the original manufacturer for selling too cheaply at first,
so they gradually had to adjust the prices back up.
The longer you wait to buy, the more expensive it will get.
There won't be any lower prices in the future.
Don't miss this special offer!
Let me give you a sneak peek first.
The brushed anti-scratch Giessen Lake Green!
It's a hot new acquisition~
I personally think this color is really great.
It has a refined, vintage charm.
And relatively speaking, it's a more neutral color.
It won't be awkward for both men and women to use.
If you share a suitcase with family or your boyfriend/husband,
choosing this color is unique and won't go wrong.
Besides Giessen Lake Green,
another new color in the brushed anti-scratch series is Bergen Red.
It's a more vintage and subdued cool-toned red.
The one I picked for my mom is this one.
The sold-outCarefree Series Rose Gold.
I personally prefer more neutral colors,
but my mom has a girlish heart, so rose gold was a must!
And rose gold is truly one of their best-selling colors.
Several of my female friends
also have the Carefree Rose Gold.
It looks and feels very high-quality.
It doesn't look like a suitcase that costs only over 3000 NTD after discount at all.
But thebiggest selling point of the Carefree series, I think, is the super wide range of colors!!
If you prefer versatile colors like I do,
I thinkGrube Black and Bamberg Silverare both good choices.
For something more neutral,
Palun Coffee Gold, Temblin Camel Gold, and Glen Blueare also great.
I think all the above colors are suitable for both men and women.
For example, my Lindhof is light blue.
I personally think that color is really nice.
But the Lindhof series has been discontinued.
Some netizens even asked me if I could sell them my suitcase before, haha!
I told her that theCarefree Series Kiewit Blueis also very nice!
No need to buy my old suitcase; I've used it to its fullest potential, okay?
Although the Carefree series is quite affordable,
it has everything it needs and doesn't skimp on anything.
First and foremost, for checked luggage,
there's theTSA-approved customs lock.
Protecting your luggage is very important.
For example, my old suitcase didn't have a lock.
As a result, some of our belongings were stolen when we went to the Philippines...
I've also heard of friends having a lot of their belongings stolen when staying in guesthouses abroad.
So, a suitcase with a combination lock is definitely a plus!
Another important feature of a suitcase
is, of course, its handle and side handles.
I personally hate those flimsy handles.
Even if the suitcase isn't packed with much,
the handle feels like it's about to break after two pulls.
(My previous suitcase was like that.)
To test the suitcase's weight-bearing capacity (?),
my mom even bought misowhich is a surprisingly heavy itemin Japan.
Even with everything packed, it still feels very sturdy when pulled.
Next, the suitcase has handles on both the top and the side.
Are these two handles important? Yes!
When carrying luggage in various situations abroad, having these two handles
makes it much easier to handle.
Especially when you need to retrieve it from the baggage carousel.
When your room abroad is too small,
you'll feel like these two handles are a miraculous savior~
And I want to specifically mention the exquisite interior of the Carefree series.
(Sounds like buying a car, with the interior!)
But I have to highly praise its interior.
This time, when I went to Osaka with my mom,
because our room was really small,
my mom and I were in a state where we could see each other's luggage clearly.
Sometimes when I opened my suitcase,
I accidentally opened it the wrong way, and the contents would spill out.
My mom then asked, "Hey, why don't you just zip both sides up?"
That's when I realized the new Carefree series has zippers on both sides!!!!!!!!!
And the lining is a silky material, which feels super high-end and luxurious.
This lining also has many compartments and small pockets.
You can put small items in them,
like chargers, notebooks, shoes, hats, cosmetics, underwear, etc.
Because both sides have zippered linings,
the volume of clothes can also be compressed even more.
Even with a lot of luggage, it's less likely to burst open.
I think the smooth-rolling wheels of NaSaDen are beyond reproach.
I've pushed them in cities and on islands.
They can even conquer tricky gravel paths and sandy areas at island resorts.
The key is that the wheels are very sturdy.
They won't wobble or fall apart even if it's packed heavily or with a lot of things.
I say this because...
my previous suitcase immediately wobbled when it was packed too heavily.
This time when I went out with my mom,
my mom also highly praised how easy the suitcase was to push.
She even refused when I offered to push her luggage.
Even if the suitcase is really easy to push,
I still want to fulfill my filial duty and help push it, okay~
Regarding size selection, let me share some experiences here.
In my experience, even if you pack a 26-inch suitcase with very heavy items,
for example, liquids, glass bottles, etc.,
it still won't be overweight.
So, if youoften fly short-haul routes or budget airlines and are worried about exceeding the weight limit,
I would recommend buying a 26-inch suitcase.
A 29-inch suitcase, however, can really hold a lot.
If you have a lot of luggage or fly long-haul routes, it's more suitable.
But for budget airlines, without paying extra, the 20kg baggage limit will definitely be exceeded.
For regular airlines, 23kg is on the dangerous edge.
A packed 29-inch suitcase usually weighs over 24kg.
However, because the Carefree series is lighter when empty,
my mom's suitcase, when fully packed this time, was only about 23kg.
Since I have a lot of stuff and sometimes fly further,
I usually choose airlines with more baggage allowance when buying tickets,
or I purchase extra baggage allowance from budget airlines upfront.
These are my experiences; you can use them as a reference!
