After many years of crisis, the inhabitants of our country finally got the opportunity to travel to the sea or even abroad more often, but in order to pack all their belongings and bring them to their destination safe and sound, you must carefully select the capacity for their luggage. The shapeless and volumetric bags were replaced by ergonomic suitcases with the possibility of transportation on their own wheels, which greatly facilitates the transfer of a large number of things. But among travel bags today you can get confused, because they are produced by both eminent foreign brands and unknown manufacturers.
Many positive reviews about Roncato suitcases do not yet give a complete picture of them, and before you consider them in more detail in this article, you need to determine the basic rules for choosing a luggage capacity.
Selection recommendations
Before buying a suitcase, you should decide on its future size. If the whole family regularly goes on vacation or a person goes on a trip for a long time, then the volume of the clothing keeper should be large. If the trips are regular and not long, then a suitcase for hand luggage is also suitable, the height of which does not exceed 55 cm.
According to reviews, Roncato suitcases in some collections even have full sets of several containers of different sizes, which will be ideal for several family members. For small children, you can also buy a suitcase. Modern design allows you to find the right option for any baby, and bringing your own things to your child alone will be a joy, because he will feel completely grown up.
An important nuance in choosing a suitcase is the number of wheels.
To carry the goods in a suitcase with two wheels, it is absolutely necessary to turn over the luggage and load the brush. But the travel bag with four wheels makes it possible to just roll it next to it. In addition, such a suitcase can be rotated 360 degrees in place.
Manufacturer's choice
Another important rule of choice is the manufacturer. Wanting to save on the purchase, many buy cheap options that can last a very short time. Such suitcases usually fail owners at the most inopportune moment with a broken wheel, handle or lock. To gain confidence that the keeper of things will last for many years, it is better to buy products of high-quality brands that have earned the trust over the years of their work. One of the best in this case is Italian-made Roncato suitcases on wheels, the guarantee for which with regular use reaches up to 5 years.
Production material
Recently, travelers are increasingly choosing for themselves the so-called solid baggage. Suitcases made of plastic can keep intact even the most fragile souvenirs, which no textile bag or bag can clearly handle. Modern luggage models are available only from high-quality polypropylene, polycarbonate or ABS plastic, which provide lightweight, durable and reliable luggage.
According to reviews, Roncato suitcases are made of just such materials. Of course, the manufacturer also produces textile models for those who are sure that nothing will happen to his things. For such cases, polyester and nylon are required with a water-repellent coating. The advantage of the models is the possibility of expanding the space in the travel bag.
The birth of a brand
You should start back in the forties of the last century, because it was then that the small future founder of the company, Giovanni Ronkato, gained experience and knowledge from his father, the manufacturer of travel luggage. He founded his own factory only in 1970, becoming the founder and president of what he still is.
The company slowly but confidently developed, improving its technology, until it created the first assembly line of diplomats in Europe, which instantly brought the brand to a leading position. A further breakthrough was the start of production of nylon bags and suitcases, which quickly gained popularity among consumers. The company occupied new niches of production with the same basic rule - to produce only high-quality goods that fully satisfy all the needs of customers.
Modern history
The experience accumulated by generations, combined with modern technology and continuous improvement, led to the beginning of the production of hard baggage in the 90s. The furor in his area then made a plastic suitcase Roncato Sphera, which in advertising the boy moved with one finger. The circulation of the sold keeper of things then reached a million pieces, and the brand finally got the opportunity to label their products with the sign “Made in Italy”.
The first suitcase under this quality mark was Shuttle with a combination lock, four wheels and a patented handle.
After that, the company regularly released new collections of suitcases from various materials. All of them comply with European quality standards, confirmed by an international certificate.
The manufacturer is proud of the UNO SL series of suitcases, the technology of which is patented in 12 countries. Today, reviews of Roncato suitcases can be obtained from 52 of the two countries in which they are successfully sold. The company devotes all its resources to the development of new modern models that will not only combine quality, functionality and lightness, but also satisfy the aesthetic needs of customers.
Modo Collection
The named collection is the manufacturer’s second largest suitcase line. Reviews of the Modo by Roncato suitcases are only positive, since each model of the collection is presented in several versions. All of them can be purchased in the amount of hand luggage, medium and large sizes.
In addition to plastic models, the collection also has a textile production option. Its weight and cost differs significantly from its hard counterparts, but the suitcase cannot ensure the safety of fragile luggage completely. Therefore, this model is not popular. The most popular suitcases should be considered separately.
Model 4181
We will review reviews about the Roncato 4181 suitcase just below. From the entire collection of solid suitcases, this representative is the most affordable and has 6 color options, but only in dark colors.
You can purchase it in three versions, each of which has the same characteristics, but different sizes. All of them are made of durable ABS plastic and have 4 swivel wheels, a combination lock with TSA protection system and a retractable handle. Inside the suitcase has 2 compartments, one of which is completely closed with a zipper and has an external pocket for small items. Items on the other side of the luggage are secured with cross straps.
But, according to reviews, the Roncato 4181 suitcase with its dimensions and weight is not roomy enough. Its internal volume is only 98 liters in the largest variation, and in hand luggage only 39 liters.
Model 4121
But the suitcase Roncato 4121 Modo Supernova 77, according to reviews, has a larger volume compared to its predecessor. At the same time, its external dimensions practically do not differ, but thanks to the combination of materials used to make the case (ABS plastic and polycarbonate), the manufacturer managed to reduce the weight of the luggage and increase its internal volume to 104 liters. The suitcase for hand luggage of this series is marked as 55, and the average model is 67, according to height.
Inside, Roncato Modo Supernova suitcases (consumer reviews confirm this) have the same design and functionality. One part of the suitcase also fastens things with straps, and the other a partition with a zipper, but already without a pocket. A small compartment for small items is located separately, between the two parts of the bag. Baggage protection is provided by a combination lock, and ease of movement - 4 wheels. Models are presented in 4 color variations.
Bright collection
Roomy youth models are represented by the Roncato York Young line of suitcases. In the reviews, customers praise them, because the manufacturer was able to combine all the advantages of their products in these models.
Suitcases of this line are light, thanks to polypropylene, maneuverable, as they have 4 wheels, and spacious. The external dimensions are not superior to other models, but the internal volume is 42, 72 and 108 liters. Baggage is protected by a TSA lock.
Inside the suitcase, one half separates and holds things with straps, and the other with a special opaque zippered partition. On top of it are two pockets - mesh and textile. There are also handles on top and side of the suitcase for easy carrying.
The largest model of the line is the Roncato 8961 suitcase. Reviews characterize it as reliable and high-quality luggage that attracts attention. Marking in this case does not depend on dimensions. The design is made in the form of several horizontal stripes. You can purchase this suitcase model in six different color options, including orange, purple, lemon, red, turquoise and black.
Element Series
A striking modern design sets the Roncato Element out of the crowd. Reviews indicate that, despite the colorful and modern design in the form of vertical unfinished stripes, luggage still has disadvantages. Among them is too much weight. The largest suitcase of the line weighs almost 5 kg, and this despite the fact that it is made of polycarbonate.
The material itself is lightweight and durable, so what causes such inconvenience? In fact, the large weight of the suitcase is due to its additional advantages. The fact is that this model has not only the main dual wheels for movement, but also side legs. Inside the suitcase, mesh partitions with zippers separate both parts of the luggage, each of which is additionally equipped with cross straps.
Protection of things is provided by the TSA lock. You can buy line suitcases in 4 popular colors.
BOX Series
This line of suitcases is represented by a small number of models, but among them you can choose the most interesting in color. For example, the Roncato 5512 BOX Medium Spinner case, which reviews are most often good, is available in 15 colors. This model belongs to medium sized luggage and has an internal volume of 80 liters. The maximum size of a similar suitcase has a capacity of 118 liters and is marked 5511.
Both representatives of the series are made of polypropylene, which is resistant not only to mechanical and chemical influences, but also to frost and solar radiation, so the color of the suitcase remains unchanged for many years.
Ease of movement of luggage provide 4 pairs of wheels with molded rubber. The telescopic handle allows you to adjust the height in three positions, which makes the travel bag convenient for travelers of any height. Baggage is protected by a TSA lock on the side of the suitcase. There are also legs on the side, and on the opposite side and on top there is a carry handle.
Inside the suitcase has 2 compartments, each of which is closed by a separate mesh partition with a zipper.
Reviews
Among the shortcomings of the suitcases of this manufacturer, most consumers allocate only overpriced. In rare cases, customers complain about low-quality wheels and handles, which can fail at the most inopportune moment of the trip, but the manufacturer has taken care of its customers and undertakes to repair the suitcases at their own expense during the warranty period. The consumer only needs to deliver luggage to the service center at his own expense.
The rest of the reviews characterize the company's products as reliable, durable, lightweight, comfortable and of high quality. Solid luggage can withstand any load and often accompanies its owners around the world. Roncato suitcases serve for many years without breakdowns or changes in appearance.
The color of the plastic remains bright even under the influence of the sun, and the spaciousness allows the whole family to travel with only one suitcase.
Conclusion
Choosing a reliable companion for long and frequent trips, you must consider all your future needs and not save. Buying a cheap suitcase will certainly lead to its early failure, moreover, it is possible that right on the trip you will have to spend money on buying new luggage. The high-quality suitcases of this brand have already won the trust of travelers around the world. For those who do not have the opportunity to pay for the purchase immediately, many stores provide installment payments, which is very convenient if you need to buy a suitcase right before the trip.
