Spinners à 4 roues vs bagages à roulettes à 2 roues

A light weight, roomy easy bag is the best bet for me, so the 4 wheel is best for me.

Since much of my travelling involves wheeling luggage over rough terrain, descending and climbing stairs to access areas on small boats and generally requiring durable luggage, 2 wheels are the obvious choice. Wheels are usually larger and stronger and more recessed. 4-wheeled spinners have more of a tendency to be broken through rough airport handling.

Great article! Some useful tips offered here that I completely agree with. Personally, I love the comfort and ease of a 4-wheeler, especially if you have a large heavy bag. However, if your trip will take you through some rugged terrain, the two-wheeled duffel is the way to go. I love these new duffel types where you can detach the wheels, which gives you the ultimate flexibility for your trip. I love Eagle Creek products because of their versatility. Handles on the sides or straps to carry a bag can come in very handy. I do a lot of international travel, and the bag I choose depends on the trip. If it’s a one-week vacation, anything with wheels is my preference. For longer duration, I prefer my Eagle Creek large duffel for its lightness and durable fabric. Have yet to try one of their wheeled products but they look sturdy!

I like both depends on your travel
4 wheels upright work easy and effortlessly on hard nice floors. But if you are on cobblestones 2 wheels are best. Think a bag with changeable wheels would be great also if you could take them off for flying would be amazing. ALSO lightweight is best I check a big bag because I ship painting supplies and they must be checked. So every Oz counts.

I prefer 4 wheels because of the ease to maneuver in tight spaces. Also, I like that I can roll on 2 wheels when necessary (hello cobblestones streets) and get back to 4 wheels on flat surfaces – this allow my arms to rest as different muscle groups are engaged.

In my experience, 2-wheeled luggage is much more suitable for general use, as we usually don’t know precisely which types of surface a case will ultimately be used on. The 4-wheel spinners are only useful on smooth surfaces such as those within airport concourses, and are useless on rough, cracked or corrugated surfaces such as those typically encountered on sidewalks or ferry walkways.

2-wheelers generally have bigger and stronger wheels which are often supported on both ends of the axle (= much more durable), and the case itself has greater capacity for a given height dimension (vital in these days of strict enforcement of size by airlines), as the 2 wheels are partially recessed.

For me, the optimum case is a tough, lightweight 2-wheeler with large rubber-tired wheels (for comfort and lack of noise) with the axles supported on each side of each wheel. These are also easier to manoeuvre along the aisle of an aircraft, and with no protruding wheels to catch on other passengers’ coats, handbags, etc inside the overhead lockers.

2 wheels of course!!! So I don’t have to worry about my wheels getting damaged by the baggage handlers.

WE have had Eagle Creek 4 wheel spinner luggage for several years and it is fantastic. Rugged but easy to manouver.

Je préfère 4 roues.

Merci et Joyeuses Fêtes:))

After traveling extensively, domestically (urban areas) and internationally (more adventurous), I find that the 2 wheel design serves me best. The 4 wheel works great on smooth surfaces, however even in urban areas I encounter carpet, ramps, and cracks in sidewalks that have me lifting or tilting the 4 wheeler.
