Coolife Luggage Reviews: Best Affordable Luggage Brand?

Hardside Luggage

Coolife PC Suitcase With Laptop Pocket (No. 79)

Looking for a carry-on with a laptop compartment? This is probably the best option for you! You can get this Coolife suitcase on its own, or you can spring for a two-piece set that includes a carry-on and a checked bag. The 28” suitcase cannot be purchased individually, so bear that in mind.

This luggage is made from 100% polycarbonate, which is pretty much the best material for a suitcase. It is durable, flexible, and lightweight; the only fault of this material is that it is prone to scratches.

Because of the premium material, this isn’t exactly a cheap suitcase. But you’re getting luggage of really good quality, so I think the price is actually really fair. And you can still get two suitcases for under $200, and that’s pretty cool.

The carry-on has an external laptop compartment with a padded sleeve and a few internal slip pockets. This compartment is rather thin, and it doesn’t take too much from the capacity of the main packing compartments.

And you get two of those, by the way. They are spacious and fully lined, with a zippered divider in one compartment and elastic cross straps in the other. Both suitcases feature two internal pockets that let you organize some of your smaller belongings.

The thing I love about this compartment is that you can lock it. The TSA-friendly lock on the smaller suitcase is bidirectional and lets you lock both the main and laptop compartments. 

Both suitcases have double spinner wheels and a retractable wheel handle, for easy maneuvering.

Coolife Luggage Aluminium Frame Suitcase 3 Piece Set

This is definitely the best (and most expensive) set from Coolife. You can’t buy the individual suitcases, and the entire set will cost you a pretty penny. But we wouldn’t have it any other way.

These are zipperless suitcases, with an aluminum frame and a polycarbonate body. They are made from very high-quality materials, so the higher price point is really fair. Keep in mind that zipperless luggage is always more expensive than regular luggage, and even a single suitcase can cost you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.

The fact that you can get this set for about $100 per suitcase is pretty insane, and I highly recommend it if you’re looking for the best Coolife has to offer.

In addition to the incredibly durable exterior, this luggage set also features a TSA lock system. It will keep all your belongings safe, and give you some peace of mind while you’re traveling.

The thing that really surprised me about these suitcases was their weight. I honestly expected them to be quite heavy since that’s normal for zipperless luggage. But they’re not – at some 6 lbs, the carry-on doesn’t actually weigh a lot more than other carry-ons we talked about so far. In fact, it is lighter than a couple of other carry-ons that are made from much lighter materials, which is remarkable.

These suitcases feature two fully lined packing compartments. One compartment is equipped with a zippered divider and two pockets, while the other has tie-down straps.

And all three suitcases have double spinner wheels, which roll smoothly and quietly. There’s also the telescopic wheel handle that locks into multiple height positions, allowing everyone to find a height that is comfortable for them.

COOLIFE Luggage PC + ABS Suitcase (Mr. Ca)

If you need just one suitcase, this is a good option for you. This particular collection from Coolife features three suitcases, which are sold only individually. This means that you can’t get them as a set at a heavily discounted price. But that’s fine – there are plenty of other sets you can get if that is what you are looking for.

The suitcases in this collection are made from a mixture of ABS and Polycarbonate, so they are not the best ones you can get. This is okay for the price point since all three suitcases are under $100. And you can’t really expect premium quality at such an affordable price.

All three suitcases feature single spinner wheels, an aluminum wheel handle, and a TSA-friendly lock. Moving around the airport with this luggage will be smooth and effortless, and you won’t make a lot of noise either. And the three-digit combination lock keeps all of your belongings secure and gives you peace of mind while you are traveling.

They also have similar packing compartments – fully lined, with three zippered pockets total, a full panel divider, and tie-down straps. But there is one key difference; only the largest of the three suitcases has expandable capacity. You can get 15% more packing space as you increase the width of the suitcase by 2”. Just remember that this is not a feature you will find on the two smaller suitcases.

Coolife Luggage ABS + PC Spinner Set (No. 76)

Hardside suitcases with external compartments are a rare species, so I was thrilled to see that Coolife had more than one option. This particular suitcase is more affordable than the first one I showed you since it is made from cheaper materials. Instead of a pure polycarbonate shell, the No. 76 luggage is made from a mixture of PC and ABS. 

Which means lesser quality, but also a much more affordable price tag. Plus, the ABS actually helps improve the scratch resistance of the luggage, while the polycarbonate keeps it lightweight, flexible, and extremely sturdy.

The carry-on features an external laptop compartment that has sleeves for both a computer and a tablet, as well as a few other pockets. This seriously helps with organization, as it allows you to not only protect your expensive tech but also keep anything you want easily accessible.

And the thing I really like about the No. 76 carry-on is that the laptop compartment is lockable. The TSA lock on the top allows you to secure both the main and the external compartment so that there’s no doubt in your mind that all your belongings are safe.

Both suitcases are equipped with double spinner wheels and a sturdy telescopic wheel handle. The wheel handle can be locked into multiple positions, allowing you to adjust it to your own height.

These two suitcases have a very similar interior as well. It is fully lined, with tie-down straps in one compartment and a zippered divider with two pockets in the other. The larger suitcase also features an extra zippered pocket, which is pretty much the only difference – other than the external laptop compartment, obviously.

Coolife Luggage 3 Piece Sets PC+ABS Spinner (No. 77)

The No. 77 collection is only available for purchase as a set of three suitcases. If you’re looking to get several pieces of luggage, this set is really good value for money. The price of individual suitcases comes down to about $60 apiece, which is very affordable. They can all be stored inside one another, so they won’t take up a lot of space when not in use.

The set features three spinner suitcases that are made from a mixture of PC and ABS. They all have an aluminum wheel handle, a TSA-friendly lock, and double spinner wheels that roll quietly and smoothly. However, since this is not pure PC luggage, it is not going to be exceptionally durable.

But the luggage is lightweight, flexible, and sturdy. Plus, the shell of the suitcases is textured, which seriously helps hide any scuffs and scratches, making your Coolife suitcases look brand new longer. And, since the shell is made from a mixture of ABS and PC, an upside is that it’s not going to get scuffed as easily as a pure PC shell.

The interior of these is fully lined, with a zippered divider in one compartment and tie-down straps in the other. There are also two zippered pockets inside the luggage, which allows for better organization.

An upside of the No. 77 collection is that it is available in some really bright colors, apart from the standard black and white ones. If you want luggage that is fun, colorful, and that you can immediately spot on the carousel, the yellow or the green suitcase might be exactly what you’re looking for.

What about the downsides of this Coolife luggage? Well, none of the suitcases have the expandable capacity, which is really a shame.

Coolife Luggage 3 Piece/4 Piece Set

Here’s another Coolife set of suitcases that’s excellent value for money. Actually, there are two sets to choose from – a 3 piece and a 4 piece (Family Set). The great thing about the Family Set is that it only costs $30 more than the regular set. You’re getting four pieces of luggage for about $40 a pop, which is absolutely insane value for money.

Both sets feature the three standard suitcase sizes – 20”, 24”, and 28” – and the Family Set comes with an extra 16” bag. This is perfect if you’re traveling with children and you want them to have their own suitcase, or if you want smaller luggage for overnight trips. Another great thing about this set is that you can store the suitcases inside one another, so they don’t take up a lot of space.

One not-so-great thing about these Coolife suitcases is that they are made from 100% ABS plastic. Unlike polycarbonate, ABS is not too flexible, and it will break upon impact. But it does have better scratch resistance than PC, so at least this luggage will look brand new for a longer time.

All of the suitcases in this set have single spinner wheels, a multi-stage wheel handle, and a TSA-friendly lock. And they all feature two fully lined packing compartments, which can hold quite a lot of clothes.

One packing compartment has tie-down straps, and the other is equipped with a zippered divider and a mesh pocket. But that’s it – there are no other pockets inside the suitcase, and you can’t expand the packing capacity.

Coolife Luggage Expandable Suitcase 3 Piece Set with TSA Lock

Maybe you want a colorful luggage set? Then think about getting this one; it features three hard-side suitcases, which can be stored within one another. They are only available as a set, which is great value for money.

These are made from ABS plastic, but they have corner guards – a subtle feature that significantly improves the durability and impact resistance of these Coolife suitcases. Corners guards will protect your suitcase in case it lands on one of the edges, which tend to be the first spots that break or get severely scuffed.

Additionally, the unique texture of the shell will keep it looking brand new for a longer time, and will successfully hide any scuffs and scratches that might appear on the luggage.

All three suitcases have double spinner wheels that are quiet, smooth-rolling, and sturdy. They also have retractable wheel handles, as well as TSA-friendly combination locks that will protect your belongings.

And the interior of these suitcases is very spacious. It is divided into two fully lined packing compartments. One compartment features tie-down straps, and the other one has a full panel divider and a zippered pocket.

The largest of the three suitcases in this set also has an expandable capacity, which gives you 15% more packing space. But that feature is unique to the 28” spinner, and it is not something you get on the smaller luggage.

Softside Luggage

Coolife Luggage 3 Piece Set

If you’re looking for soft shell suitcases, this 3-piece set is a great option. It is excellent value for money – you get three individual suitcases for less than $150. And you can store the suitcases inside one another, so they won’t take up a lot of space in your closet.

This set includes a 20” carry-on, a 24” medium checked bag, and a 28” large checked bag. The smallest of the three suitcases is considered US cabin luggage by IATA guidelines, so you shouldn’t have any trouble traveling with it in the States.

The luggage in this set is made from 1680D oxford cloth, which is a very durable material. It is a lot sturdier than polyester, and it has pretty good water resistance. Additionally, all of the suitcases in this set have corner guards, which further improve the overall durability of the luggage.

All three suitcases have the exact same features. The packing compartment is fully lined with nylon and spacious, with tie-down straps to keep your clothes in place. There’s a large zippered pocket on the lid of the compartment, which allows for some organization. But that’s the only internal pockets you get on this luggage.

Luckily, you get several external pockets as well. This luggage features two external pockets, which are great for any items you want to have handy while you’re traveling. Or just for the items that you initially forgot to pack.

These Coolife suitcases also feature single spinner wheels and a telescopic wheel handle. They’re easy to maneuver, but the wheels don’t feel too substantial. They are a little flimsier than I would like, but I say that for quite a lot of suitcases that have single spinner wheels. The double ones roll much smoother, in my opinion.

Coolife Luggage Expandable Suitcase Spinner Softshell

The great thing about this Coolife collection is that all three suitcases are sold individually, and also as a set. And if you’re looking to get more than one suitcase, I highly recommend getting the set, since it is really great value for money. In fact, getting the set would save you about $80, as opposed to getting all three suitcases individually.

These softshells are made from Jacquard oxford cloth, a material that has excellent durability and abrasion resistance. The suitcases also feature corner guards, which further improve their overall sturdiness.

The three suitcases are not all exactly the same. The smallest of the bunch features an external laptop compartment, while the larger two suitcases lack these features. But, unlike the carry-on, the bigger suitcases have an expandable capacity.

All of the suitcases feature single spinner wheels and a retractable wheel handle that locks into multiple height positions. They also have a TSA-friendly lock, which keeps all of your belongings perfectly safe. The only downside here is that you can’t lock the external compartment of the carry-on.

The interior of these Coolife suitcases is quite spacious, with tie-down straps and a zippered pocket on the lid. There’s no extra pocket inside the actual packing compartment, so these are not the best for staying organized. Especially since the larger two suitcases don’t have that extra compartment of the carry-on.

Coolife Rolling Travel Duffel Bag

The rolling duffel bag is a great option if you’re don’t want a suitcase. It is available in two sizes, a 22” bag and a 30” bag. Both sizes have the exact same features; price and size are the only two differences.

The bags are made from durable, tear and abrasion-resistant materials. They feature in-line skate wheels, a retractable wheel handle, and a very sturdy grab handle. And with multiple carrying options, traveling with this duffel cake will be rather easy.

The smaller of the two duffels is actually carry-on sized. But, whether or not you can bring it inside an airplane will depend on how full it is. When the smaller bag is fully packed, its width is 11.8” – this is not going to fit in overhead compartments on all airplanes, and you might be forced to check it.

One thing I really love about this duffel is the split-level storage. There are actually two different compartments inside the bag, which makes it the perfect bag for couples who share luggage. You both get a compartment for yourself, making it super easy to stay organized even when you’re sharing the luggage with someone else.

The bag also has a total of six external pockets that allow for the organization of all of your smaller items. And there’s an even number of them, so you can easily split them if you’re sharing the duffel bag with your partner.
