Last time I shared a few trolley cases that accompanied me to the sky, someone raised a question, do you think it is good, have you not used a better one?
So with this question, there is a comparison and evaluation of four trolley cases at your own expense.
Hi ~ Hello everyone, I am Feifan Feifan, a digital enthusiast of home appliances who likes to study and decorate 8 houses and 2,000 square meters of office.
I believe that there is no perfect product, it has at least 1 dimension that will make some users feel that it is a disadvantage, how to show the real advantages and disadvantages of the product to everyone, to determine whether it is suitable for you, is the purpose of my sharing.
Whether it is advertising or personal experience, it is the basic principle to strive to ensure that the experience is true and objective, and I hope everyone will supervise it together!
This selection is 589 yuan of the United States Travel (NL7), 529 yuan of diplomat (TC-9032), 1069 yuan of Horizon 8 (769 yuan of solid color traveler series), 778 yuan of ITO (WAVE), the following are all represented by brand names of these four products.
The selection of products is mainly based on the fact that the United States Travel and Diplomat are two old imported brands, and in the early years, they were also said to be good products with first-class cost performance on the Internet, and the big brands were replaced; Horizon 8 and ITO are very popular and popular products on the Internet in the past two years, among which Horizon 8 is the brand I am currently using.
Of these, only the diplomatic model is frame-locked, and the other three are zipper-locked.
This time, the 20-inch boarding suitcase was used for testing, and the test method considered a variety of use scenarios such as consignment and daily use.
This test only represents the four boxes in my hand, and there are cases and individual cases.
This time it was a cousin and a cousin.
Without further ado, let's get started.
Comparison of materials and other parameters
The specific comparison information is as above, and the red color is the more prominent one, and by the way, make a few more notes:
1. The contrasting color model I bought myself at Horizon 8 is more expensive, and the price of the monochrome model is much cheaper;
2. Lightweight is not absolutely good, such as PC material, 4 layers are of good quality, but heavy, 3 layers are weaker than 4 layers, but light;
3. In terms of the material of the rod and wheel, the material is the most important, and the clearer the official marking, the more information will be obtained, which is the only place to obtain information;
4. There is still a certain difference in quality between pure PC material and ABS+PC material, and PC is definitely better than hybrid type;
5. The structure of the zipper and the metal frame is not absolutely good, and the most important thing is to see what you like
Capacity comparison
First of all, after unpacking, we first observe the difference between several boxes from the appearance, although they are all 20-inch luggage, but the size of the box appearance and the length of the lever are inconsistent, so will there be a difference in capacity?
Prepare 12 pieces of clothing:
1 thick winter coat + 1 autumn and winter denim jacket;
4 pairs of spring and autumn trousers;
6 pullovers that can be worn on a single basis;
The storage process after the actual filling is shown in the picture above.
U.S. travelers and diplomats have a certain surplus space, and they can be zipped up without squeezing;
Horizon 8 still has space left, thanks to its wide tie rod expansion design;
The ITO is very full, and the closing process is slightly difficult, requiring hard pressing to close the zipper.
Pay attention to the details of the left and right cabinet compartments:
American Travel: 1 side zipper partition, 1 side X strap;
Diplomats: snap-on nets on both sides;
Horizon 8: zipper nets on both sides;
ITO: snap-on partition on both sides;
Brief summary:
In terms of space, Horizon 8 is the best, the American brigade and diplomats are good, and the ITO is the smallest;
In terms of the convenience of separating the net, Horizon 8 is the best to use, diplomats and ITO are OK, and the American Travel X strap is not very convenient;
Tie rod comparison
The first thing to see is the smoothness of the tie rod, which can ensure the chic degree of each pull, and then the load-bearing capacity.
I asked my cousin and cousin to do 20 consecutive quick pulls and asked them to subjectively evaluate the smoothness, and after a round of testing, my cousin said that there didn't seem to be much difference in the smoothness of the four tie rods.
But if you have to tell the difference, Horizon 8 is the smoothest, the American brigade is about the same as a diplomat, and the ITO has encountered a slight stutter or twice.
In terms of durability, the cousin of 40KG is the first.
Although the weight of 40KG, all four boxes are supported! But my cousin didn't pay attention to the distance when she put the box, and the American brigade and diplomats had more positions on the ladder, which meant that the suspended positions were shorter, so in the link where the cousin went up, the American brigade and diplomats had an advantage.
And the actual screenshot shows that the US brigade and diplomats actually have a little sign of crookedness.
Then I also got a cousin of 60KG!
This time, the U.S. Brigade clicked directly, the diplomat bent and could not be retracted, and Horizon 8 was no problem with the ITO, and the smoothness remained the same.
Brief summary:
Horizon No. 8 wide tie rod suffers a lot in this link, others are one foot up two poles to bear weight, Horizon No. 8 is a pole first to bear weight and then to another pole, but the actual result is:
The strength of the pull rod of the United States Brigade is the weakest, ranking second in smoothness;
The strength of the diplomat's lever is weak, and it ranks second in smoothness;
Horizon No. 8 tie rod has the highest strength, ranking first in smoothness;
ITO拉杆强度最高,顺滑排第3;
In addition, the number of segments of the tie rod will also determine the suitability for different heights, the 3 sections of the American Brigade and the ITO are the regular number, the 2 stages of the diplomat are a bit less, and the Horizon 8 is 4 sections.
Cabinet comparison
At present, many airlines have serious weight limits, 20KG per day, only 10KG less, and even 5KG will be limited to hand-held, so the weight of the box itself is very important. How much is the difference between the actual weight and the actual weight?
The measured results are as follows:
The measured US travel is 0.7kg lighter than the official nominal;
The diplomat measured that it was 1.25kg lighter than the official nominal;
Horizon 8 is measured to be 1.09kg lighter than the official nominal;
The ITO is 1.5KG heavier than the official nominal;
Excluding errors, only the actual weight, from light to heavy, are: American Brigade, Horizon 8, Diplomat, ITO.
The second is to look at the pressure resistance of the box, at present, the box is made of excellent materials, compressive resistance and self-healing ability, but the early use of bad materials is more brittle, so how is everyone's performance?
Go to my cousin first! Again, 40KG, the softest and most serious subsidence of the American brigade, the diplomat and ITO have a slight subsidence, and the horizon 8 is not very deformed.
Then the cousin of 60KG is on again! This is a bit serious!
The U.S. brigade is sinking relatively large and cannot rebound;
The diplomat sank 2nd, but rebounded;
Horizon 8 has the lightest sag and has also rebounded;
ITO sag is 3rd in severity, but it also rebounded.
Then there is the combination of the box and the wheel, is it a good scooter, have you also hesitated in the long journey, want to sit on the box but don't dare? It's okay, let's try it for you!
The 40KG cousin sits comfortably and is very smooth~ Everyone is performing well, the zipper of the luggage at the wheels is slightly dented, and the other three are OK.
60KG's cousin, the American Brigade can't stand it...
The other three are no problem!
Now you get it, right? Good box, sit casually!
Finally, we also carried out a waterproof test, and each of the four boxes was zipped with 2L Nongfu Spring!
After the measurement, the napkins inside were wet, and everyone behaved average in this regard.
However, this watering is the main attack on the weakness of the box, daily travel can not encounter such heavy rain, the basic light rain is not affected, if you encounter a heavy rainstorm or it is recommended that you wear a waterproof box cover.
Brief summary:
The U.S. travel box is the softest, and the rebound is slightly weaker;
The diplomat's box is the second softest, the rebound is normal, and the frame structure does not gain an advantage, which is actually quite surprising;
Horizon No. 8 box has the highest strength and normal rebound;
The strength of the ITO box ranks second, and the rebound is normal;
Wheel comparison
When it comes to wheels, quiet, smooth, and durable are key.
The problem of muting is mainly embarrassing, pulling in the community, and the whole community knows that I am going to travel, which is not good.
I have experienced the smooth front box part, and everyone understands it.
Durability also determines whether we can accompany us to the sky and the sea.
Rough floor tile floor test~
Smooth mall floor test.
The decibel of the wheels passing through the brick floor is shown above.
The diplomat's does not seem to use a mute wheel, which is noisy, and the other three should all be mute wheels, which is not much different.
In the smooth ground part of the mall, the American Brigade and Horizon 8 are more excellent, and the diplomats and ITO are more prominent.
This may have something to do with the material of the wheel.
In terms of durability of the wheels, 6 bottles of 2 liters of mineral water were filled into the box, and the stairs were repeatedly and quickly tested on the steps.
20 times back and forth, no one has a wheel drop to the extent that it happens, but the wear and tear of the American brigade and diplomats will be slightly more serious, and Horizon 8 and ITO will be better.
Brief summary:
Silent on Horizon 8 is the best, the diplomat is slightly weaker, and the American brigade and diplomats are okay;
In terms of wear resistance and durability, Horizon 8 is better than ITO, and the wear and tear of American brigades and diplomats is slightly greater;
Drop resistance comparison
Considering that daily travel may encounter violent transportation, the drop resistance and wear resistance of the box are also very important, and the fall resistance is divided into two stages: wheels and boxes.
Considering that everyone is traveling, the box is full of clothes during the test, and I fell 10 times.
Each box resists a height of about 1 meter above the ground, there are no wheels falling or stuck, and the quality is okay.
and then from throwing a box down the stairs, in order to simulate violent transportation, this time using kicks.
Wheel and bottom wear shows
Display of the wear on the front of the box
Wear on the side of the box is displayed
Wear on the side of the box is displayed
Shows the wear on the back of the box
After showing the multi-faceted situation, you can see that diplomats, American travelers, and ITO all have visible signs of wear and bump with the naked eye, but everyone has different weights, and Horizon 8 will be relatively much better.
Brief summary:
The shells of the American brigade, diplomats, and ITO have no special anti-wear treatment, and the relatively smooth surface is easy to leave traces, and the surface of the Horizon No. 8 body is very fine lines, and the anti-wear effect is first-class;
In terms of fall resistance, everyone is resistant to falling, but the degree of wear and tear caused by the United States Brigade and diplomats is the most serious, the ITO is average, and the Horizon 8 is the lightest.
summary
That's the end of the simple experience comparison of these boxes, and I'll make a brief summary:
Although the United States Travel and Diplomat is an old brand, it is basically an entry product at this price, and it is normal for the product configuration to be slightly weaker in the four, which can meet daily use, but the appearance design will be more obvious after a few trips;
Horizon 8 has the highest price, and the box, tie rod, and wheels are almost the strongest in all tests, and after a long period of use, the box will not look old and dirty, which is my own actual experience;
ITO is relatively in the middle position, and the performance is okay in all aspects, and I personally think that the box has a glossy finish, and there are problems with the same as the American brigade and diplomats, and it will not look so good after wearing.
That's all for this comparison~I hope it can help everyone~
