WestJet carry-on and personal item size

The limits below are quoted from WestJet's baggage rules. Sizes include wheels and handles unless noted.

Personal item
16 × 13 × 6 in (41 × 33 × 15 cm)
The personal item must be within 41 centimeters or 16 inches in length, by 33 centimeters or 13 inches in width, by 14 centimeters or 6 inches in height. ... All carry-on and personal items must: fit in the sizing device (wheels included – if applicable)

INTERNAL CONFLICT: the summary graphic at the top of the same page reads "41 cm x 15 cm x 33 cm (16 in. X 6 in. X 13 in.)", which gives a 15 cm height. The prose sentence (recorded here) gives 14 cm, the stricter value. No numeric weight limit is stated.

Carry-on
22 × 14 × 9 in (56 × 36 × 23 cm)
The carry-on item must be within 56 centimeters or 22 inches in length by 36 centimeters or 14 inches in width and 23 centimeters or 9 inches in height. The carry-on item must also be light enough to allow you to place the bag in the overhead compartment unaided.

The summary graphic lists it as "56 cm x 23 cm x 36 cm (22 in. X 9 in. X 14 in.)", the same box in a different order. No numeric weight limit. On turboprop flights, carry-ons may be checked even if they fit the sizer.
