When it comes to travel, a reliable carry-on suitcase is essential. I\u2019ve always admired the sleek design and durability of the Rimowa aluminum suitcase<\/strong>, but with a price tag of around $2000<\/strong><\/a>, it\u2019s a out of my budget. That\u2019s why I was thrilled to discover that Xiaomi <\/strong>offers a similar aluminum carry-on baggage for a fraction of the price. At under $300<\/strong>, it\u2019s just a fifth of the cost of a Rimowa. Curious about this affordable alternative, I decided to give the Xiaomi aluminum suitcase<\/strong> a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Xiaomi 20″ Aluminum Suitcase – Specs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Xiaomi aluminum suitcase measures 55.1 \u00d7 38.3 \u00d7 20.3 cm<\/strong> (22.7 x 15.1 x 8 in) and weighs approximately 4.2 kg<\/strong> (9.3 lbs). This makes it about the maximum size for carry-on luggage, though it is around 1 kg heavier than a typical polycarbonate suitcase. In terms of dimensions and weight, it\u2019s comparable to the Rimowa aluminum suitcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Constructed from an aluminum-magnesium alloy, the suitcase\u2019s body is both sturdy and stylish, while the interior is lined with polyester. With a capacity of about 31 liters, it offers enough space for your travel essentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xiaomi aluminum carry-on features two locks, each with individual 3-number codes, and are TSA-approved. The pull rod has four adjustable positions and extends to a convenient height of 1.15 meters. Additionally, the rod\u2019s shaking is minimal, within 10 mm, ensuring a smooth and comfortable pulling experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the aluminum suitcase is sold under the Xiaomi brand, it is actually manufactured by 90 Minutes. Inside, you\u2019ll find a tag indicating that it was designed by Runmi in Germany. The suitcase features two Y-shaped straps with Velcro that won\u2019t stick to your clothes, ensuring your items stay secure without any hassle. Additionally, it includes a flexible division board with a zipper, perfect for organizing chargers and other small items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Xiaomi 20″ aluminum suitcase qualifies as cabin baggage. During my wait at the airport, I tested it in several airlines\u2019 measuring boxes, and it fit perfectly as a carry-on bag for all of them.
