Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Designed for travel or at-home storage, this set of three large vacuum-seal bags helps create extra space by removing the air from bulky or seasonal items. To use, simply pack the items to be stored, zip up the bag using the easy-to-seal Sure-Zip slider, and remove the air by either rolling out the air toward the bottom, expelling air through the one-way valve, or using a household vacuum cleaner (any standard vacuum-cleaner hose will work). The durable multi-layer bags not only compress items for more compact storage, but they also create an airtight seal for ultimate protection from dirt, moisture, mildew, bugs, and odors. The bags take up very little space and can be stored away in a closet, garage, or basement--worry-free. Each reusable bag measures 21-1/2 by 33-1/2 inches.

3.0 out of 5 stars These should be better..., May 13, 2010

I fight a mighty large urge to say that I hate these things. I don't hate them. They work, to a degree, but be forewarned that these bags do not do all that they say they will. By that I mean that these bags may suck the air out and save space so-to-speak, but that air comes back gradually. These bags don't stay that small for long. Sure, they do stay somewhat small, but what they show you on the commercial is no where close to what they really do for you. As far as packing is concerned, they do the trick. The air is released gradually so you can pack tightly with no worries, but I've been using these to store my daughter's clothes away as she grows out of them and so when used as a space saver for a long extended period of time, they are not as great as one would like them to be. Also, these bags can be tricky to close, which can be frustrating. Bottom line is that these things work, but not as well as one would like. I use them, but I'm not a very happy customer.

3.0 out of 5 stars not so great, September 24, 2009

These are pretty impressive when you see the vacuum cleaner sucking all the air out of the bag, saving you all that space.

But in practice, about half of the bags have holes in them, and the air gradually gets back in by the time you arrive at your destination. I bought about 10 of these for moving a ton of clothes overseas recently, and when we arrived about half had expanded again.

In defense of this product, however:

1. This may not be because of a manufacturer's defect so much as that the unavoidable jostling of other items in your luggage during flight is probably going to pop a hole in the bag. [Some were confirmed to be manufacturer's defects, however.] Be that as it may, from your point of view it doesn't matter where the hole comes from.

2. Hole or no hole, they still might do the job for you, since the air comes back in gradually. Simply suck all the air out, pack your luggage and close it, since it's unlikely disaster would ensue should the bag expand while your suitcase is closed.

A final warning: you might think you're saving space by using these. And so you are. But that invariably tempts you to load your luggage past the weight limit and hence incur the attendant fees, leading me to question whether saving money can really be considered an advantage of this product.

I bought 3 packages (3 bags each). Of the 9 I got, 4 have not held their airtightness (air leaks in and the bag expands).
