Amazon Basics luggage sizes
Amazon Basics is Amazon's own private label brand, sold only through Amazon.com listings rather than a separate manufacturer site. Its luggage lineup covers hardside spinner suitcases in 21, 26 and 30 inch sizes, a softside spinner line in 15, 18 and 28 inch sizes, an underseat rolling bag, and newer 3-piece and 4-piece hardside luggage sets that bundle a 22 inch carry-on and 28 inch checked suitcase with a matching tote and small travel bag. The 21 inch hardside carry-on is the brand's clear volume leader, showing a number one Best Seller badge in Carry-On Luggage with over 27,000 ratings at 4.5 stars, well ahead of every other model checked. Because there is no separate spec sheet for this brand, each entry here is sourced directly from that model's own Amazon product listing, using its About this Item bullets and Product Details table as the manufacturer data.
Amazon Basics usually states an overall dimension including wheels in its About this Item bullet, and a second, differently labeled figure in the Product Details Item Dimensions table; on several listings that table figure is smaller and is the case body only, confirmed most clearly on the 15 inch softside carry-on where the bullet explicitly reads 15(H) inches excluding wheels against an 18.1 inch table height. On other listings, such as the 26 inch and 30 inch hardside checked models, the bullet and table give the same including wheels number with no separate body only figure published anywhere on the page, so bodyOnly is null for those. Amazon also does not use a consistent physical meaning for L versus W versus H from listing to listing, so the three numbers should be read as a set rather than a strict length or width or height mapping.
