Test result preview
The MONZANA suitcase set impresses with its versatility and functionality. It includes four suitcases in different sizes (XL, L, M and S), which are suitable for both short trips and longer journeys. Particularly noteworthy is the robust hard-shell design made of ABS polymer, which easily withstands knocks and stresses. The cases can be stacked inside each other to save space – a great advantage when storing them. The smooth-running 360° twin castors and the ergonomic aluminium telescopic handle are also positive features. A minor disadvantage is that slight signs of use may be visible on the material, but this does not affect the functionality. The zips could also be a little more stable. Overall, the set offers high-quality features that make for a comfortable travelling experience.

- Smooth-running 360° castors

In the practical test, the MONZANA suitcase set showed that the manufacturer’s specifications were largely accurate. The telescopic handle remained stable even under load and the wheels worked smoothly and reliably on various surfaces. The interior layout proved to be well thought out, with functional dividers and additional pockets for optimum organisation. The combination lock showed no flaws in any of the tests and guaranteed security. One minor point of criticism is the slight signs of wear that can occur with intensive use, but these do not impair functionality. Overall, the suitcase set fulfils the advertising promises and offers a reliable travel experience.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.3 stars. In some cases, the quality of the zips and the stability are criticised, with mixed opinions. On the other hand, the high-quality workmanship, elegant design and space-saving storage of the cases are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the extensive accessories and high-quality features of the suitcase set were well received by customers. The criticism of the zips is understandable, but does not detract from the overall package.
Prices of up to €299.95 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €109.95 . The 4-piece suitcase set from MONZANA is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of 129.95 €. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
