5.0 out of 5 stars
Work as advertised or even a touch better.,
By John P. Thiel "John T." (Astoria, Queens, New York City) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: ITW Space Bag BRS-59112 Vacuum-Seal Storage Bags, Extra Large, Set of 2 (Kitchen)
My wife is obsessed with cleanliness. She vacuums our entire home every day, and oil soaps the floors every two weeks; she wouldn't open a window if it didn't save a dime on air conditioning, because she's sure the bugs and dust will come rushing in (funny that she married her exact opposite in these respects). So I was not suprised when she suddenly asked me to get Space Bags to keep the non-Summer bedding and clothing in--though being from Japan I was a bit suprised she had picked up on the commercials from what tiny bit of American television she watches.
These things really are as good as they seem in the commercials. The plastic is good and thick, and the seals are absolutely leak proof. And for working like they claim to, I give them five stars. I know people are thinking that five stars requires a rave review, but my opinion is that things should simply work as they're designed to do--perhaps even exceed expectations--and that it's nothing to dance in the street about when they do. BOTTOM LINE: Space Bags work quite nicely, they're priced appropriately, and are quite durable--nothing more you really need to know.

Zipper will not stay zipped,
This review is from: ITW Space Bag BRS-59112 Vacuum-Seal Storage Bags, Extra Large, Set of 2 (Kitchen)
The zipper on these bags will not stay zipped, therefore the air will not stay out of the bag and the bag will not stay compressed.
The first time I tried to zip the bag, the zipper holder fell off. I put it back on but it didn't help zip the bag. I then zipped it by hand, making sure I tightly zipped every bit of the zipper. I used two extra large size bags, one for a queen size comforter and the other for 4 accent pillows. Neither bag would stay zipped. They are a waste of money.

I just got my order of 2 jumbo spacebags-- and WOW! The king comforter shrunk down to next to nothing in the XL size bag! I did not have a poblem getting the ziplock seal closed- it worked great for me. I just ordered 6 more bags...I think that should pretty much should take care of my linen closet! When compressed they were not as flat and smooth as I expected, but I found on my second try if I hold it flat and keep pulling the edges out it does get flatter and smoother, and when I did a more "subatantial" comforter it did stay smoother. I think with some practice I can have them looking like the commercials! at first I was concerned as my vacuum hose did not fit perfectly over the nozzle, but just holding it flush worked fine. I intend to seal sets seperately so it's not a hassle to actually use the linens when I want them. In my photo I said it was jumbo bag- I was mitaken, they are indeed XL bags. The XL fit a "flimsy" king comforter and was just big enough for a thicker queen comforter.
