Away wins strong reviews for durable, sleek luggage that packs efficiently and rolls smoothly, with many users praising years-long performance, thoughtful compression and laundry-bag interiors, and responsive lifetime warranty support. Reviews also flag drawbacks: shells scuff and scratch easily (especially light colors), handles can wobble, wheels or zippers occasionally fail, aluminum dents and feels heavy, and the removable battery is cumbersome under airline rules.

The suitcase is really good at getting a lot of stuff in your case in an organised way, the roll up laundry bag is smart and the interior lay out it good. It's nice having the charger but this does add weight. As other reviews mention it scuffs easily. However my main issue with the case is that the actual functionality of the wheels and steering the case is not good. More often than not I need to drag it on 2 wheels rather than push it on all 4. Just not the quality I expected for the price.
Feedback
Improved wheels and stronger handle. The whole process of wheeling the case is not good enough.

Got my first Away bag a little over a month ago and there is no turning back. Super high quality, lifetime warranty, and incredible design.
Feedback
I wish there were more color options. I got the black and I love it don't get me wrong, but I would love to see some exciting and bold options. It almost feels too muted/grown up and with Gen Z's tastes right now I feel like they'd want something bold and bright and fun.

Ever since I got my Away Bigger Carry On in 2020, I have exclusively used it for travel. As a management consultant, it was the perfect bag to bring to the client site as it's sleek and professional. Now, as a leisure traveler, it continues to be perfect in terms of functionality, esp. for city travel when you're rolling your bag around streets.

Overall great product and experience. By far the best luggage I've ever had!
Feedback
The outer shells mark very easily, especially if you buy a lighter colour. The marks do come out but can be annoying. Would recommend buying in a darker colour

I absolutely love my Away bags. After asking for the Bigger Carry on for my birthday last year, I fell so in love that my husband and I both added the larger bags to our wedding registry. The four wheel structure makes getting anywhere a breeze, and these bags hold SO much. I've packed for up to 6 days in my bigger carry-on, and the built in battery is beyond convenient.
Feedback
Prices are a bit high and items run out quickly when on sale. My only issue with my pink bags are that you can easily see scuff marks from wear. The good news is that each bag comes with an erasing tool that can help buff these out.

Suitcase is solid, have taken it on overnights and long hauls and it's held up quite well.
Feedback
The matte white finish picks up scuffs and stains super easily

I love the bags because of the charging case and area, but the bags scratch very easily.
Feedback
Needs to survive check in at the airport without scratches. The material needs to be worked on.

Nice look, super heavy and I find that the added features sort of get in the way instead of being helpful/convenient.
Feedback
Offering a lightweight/featherweight option, expandable, better/more functional wheels.

I own two large bags, the carry-on and the backpack. The luggage is sturdily built and feels like it would last a very long time. The integrated lock is welcomed but rarely used. There are some inserts for clothes/similar but I don't care for them. I purchased the extra suit holder which is quite nice and integrates well with the carry-on. The backpack is not worth the money, as much as I hoped it would be since the sleeve to attach to the carry-on was the purpose of my purchase. The zippers failed easily and the side pocket is poorly made. Luckily all of their items are guaranteed for life, but given the company's growth it may take a while to get a new replacement. Also, they don't accept any returns in the store, which would be a game changer if they did.
Feedback
They should make returns/exchanges much easier with their brick and mortar stores.

Love their products. We have the carry-on and the big suitcase. Nice design, sufficient quality. Will keep on buying their products.

I don't really understand why these suitcases are popular (probably good marketing I guess). I had an Away carry-on bag and it seemed like every other plastic hardshell suitcase on the market, just more expensive. I used it to travel a lot and the wheels got worn down and sticky really fast and the outer shell looked beat up after just a few months. You can go to TJ Maxx and buy a hardshell suitcase that is equal quality and cheaper...

The customer experience team is phenomenal. I have had to return two of my pieces (one quality, one size) and each time I had great service experiences. My carry on bag popped the zipper. Overall I am satisfied with the product, I have had some pretty big dents due to baggage handling and have popped out easily. No matter the color this will show marks from travels.
Feedback
If packing is your worst skill (like me) do not purchase the large or at minimum weigh in advance. Every time I packed this size I ended up with luggage that weighed 100 pounds and had to pay the fee both times to France :(.

I've ordered multiple products from Away over the course of several years. I've also returned a couple products because I changed my mind on a colorway or size. From the shopping experience to the packaging and even post-purchase experience working with their customer service team, everything was top-notch.
Feedback
I've had to replace multiple parts on the bag throughout the four year lifespan that I've owned the suitcase. The aluminum product looks incredible right out of the box, but it'll never look as good as it does right then. Even after one use, it looks like you've owned the case for several years. This is used as a marketing point, but I think there's room to build a more durable product that stands the test of time (and baggage carousels).
