Away Luggage Killer! Muji Suitcase Review

Muji's suitcase has the build quality and practicality to compete against brands like Away that are getting very popular due to their simple designs and "smart" capabilities. The lack of the battery pack in the Muji suitcase is actually a good thing because TSA is cracking down on luggages with batteries. If you buy a Muji suitcase, you don't have to worry about this AT ALL.

Thank you for an honest review. I have been considering getting a Muji suitcase for a while now (the same color as yours but the smallest size). I agree that for me at least, not having a built in charger is not a deal breaker. If you could post another video after you have taken your bag on several more trips, especially long hauls, that would be great. Thanks.

very calm, relaxing efficient narration.

Everyone please note that the lock on this luggage uses A SMALL KEY (not a combination lock). If you lose that key you’re out of luck.

Would love a comparison video with the away suitcase. Ty! Very informative!

You are right about one thing that there are less reviews of other luggages on YouTube. Thanks for reviewing the muji luggage, I was curious how it would be like.

Great review. I purchased the first generation similar sized as yours last November before I flew to Japan. Awesome piece of luggage, and better yet, it was $159.00. Muji offers great discounts on these pieces. I also have the carry on 33L carry on also purchased with deep discount. I’d rather have a better quality battery pack in my backpack anyway.

This review was super helpful! Thanks for going out of your way to make it due to the lack of other reviews. I think I'm going to buy one this weekend.

[jennychou]

Yes! Would love to hear your take on Away!

I think a built in battery pack is not a good idea - extra weight and airlines are cracking down on batteries being put in checked luggage these days due to the fire risk. If I want a battery, I will just carry a portable one in my bag! Not much good to me checked in anyway if I have a flat battery in the cabin!

Hi Kevin, how have the bags help up after 2 years?

[JayR_Smith]

Away compression compartment is just hands down the best... until someone beat that ain’t no killing going on.

The wheel lock feature is really clever!

Thank you 🌷 i was looking for a review before ordering it. Can i know please you choosed Matt or Glossy ?

[dennisabella]

thanks, i learned from this video how to unlock the wheels.

Thank you! I travel to Asia every few weeks for work and have been considering Away, but can't justify the the price. Muji seems to be the better alternative and (after tax) is nearly $100 cheaper!

What's the weight of their cabin luggage?

[Toniabkk]

Over time the rubber handles will rip and break. thats what happened to mine. but they have a spare replacement at minimal price.

[ashleyl]

Adding one more thing - the Away comes with a limited lifetime warranty and 100-day trial period. That also explains the difference in price.
P.S. I like your calm manner of speaking, plus your brows are really cute :)

i just purchased mine a few weeks ago and used it for my trip to seoul. this was my second suit case i ever owned. before this i had a big gravis one and it was cool looking with the skateboard wheel and served me well for almost 10 years but it was falling apart so i switched to the muji one. it was nice to take it as a carry on flying in to seoul. i have the same size i think. i do like the four wheel feature and it really made it easy to lug it around. i was wondering what that lock button was in the bottom of the handle. now i know haha. but i agree with the things you said but i dont regret purchasing this either.

I'm contemplating to purchase away big carry on however, you vid has changed my decision. I will try to look for Muji's carry on bag instead. Thanks, Kevin.
