Spacesaver Vacuum Storage Bags, VARIETY

These vac-bags literally have endless uses, & they're exceptionally useful. They're also incredibly easy to use with their double seal zip-lock system & it's really handy to have the assortment of different sizes in this variety pack. Anything stored within comes out exactly in the condition it went in. (As an example, the "jumbo" sized bags can EASILY accommodate very bulky items such as 13 tog king size hollow fibre duvets which are compressed right down to 2/3's of their size). You can store many smaller items of clothing to much larger items with ease that would otherwise take up a lot more valuable space as well. The vacuum inside keeps everything in PERFECT condition & your clothing or other items are kept 100% dust & moisture free. A small hand pump is supplied which is certainly sufficient for clothing or smaller items in the smallest bags (if travelling, etc.), however, you definitely need a vacuum cleaner for the larger bags or you'll be hand pumping forever to get all possible air out. (As long as it's done VERY carefully too (or you'll just blow the zip-lock seals back apart), I find that once the bags are actually sealed you can GENTLY squeeze some of the excess air out of the bags which saves a fair degree of effort before you start hand pumping too. For best results, however, use a vacuum cleaner to remove the air & the whole process then literally takes seconds. Supplied in cardboard retail packaging. Full instructions for use & care printed on the box, & on each of the individual bags themselves. The manufacturer's details are also clearly printed on every bag if you do need to contact them for an exchange under their lifetime guarantee. I'm very happy with these vac-bags & I would happily rate them at 5/5. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. *** EDIT: Most of my vac-bags have now had multiple cycles of being opened & re-sealed over 2+ years now, whilst some have been permanently sealed the whole time. The additional space they create & the condition they keep all items within is just incredible. They're worth every penny & every star!! However, the valve on one of my jumbo sized bags finally failed after two years & the bag just wouldn't hold a vacuum anymore. The manufacturer/seller has a fully dedicated webpage if a replacement is required under the lifetime guarantee (which even includes a specific entry for providing your Amazon order number). I completed all of the required details on the dedicated webpage & the page flagged the message that my details had been received for processing, but I then heard nothing back after that at all. After waiting for a fair period, I contacted the seller through Amazon to notify them of the problems with the failed jumbo vac-bag, & with their website. The seller responded immediately & they sent me a retail box with 2 x jumbo replacement bags as well. Possibly some issues with their dedicated replacement system that the manufacturer/seller needs to address, but they still honour the lifetime guarantee in full if you contact them via Amazon instead. (Contact them directly from "your orders" which will automatically include your order number & details, etc.). Otherwise, I'm still very happy with these bags indeed after 2 1/2 years. Still only this one failure to date too that the seller immediately replaced once notified. EXCELLENT product & EXCELLENT customer service as advertised. My rating remains 5/5. ***

I'm one of those people who keeps retired bedding, towels, and soft furnishings "just in case," and storing it all has become a challenge. The vacuum bags I'd been using had aged badly so I decided to replace them all. Spacesaver bags are a massive improvement on them. Pros: * good sturdy plastic and closures –– they make my old ones look like sandwich bags * good choice of useful sizes (I bought the mixed box) * you get a hand pump with them, which is ideal for travel * really excellent customer service –– I needed replacements and it was all dealt with in a matter of hours after first contacting the company * surprisingly, they're cheaper per unit than cheap own-brand bags I bought at a store No real cons to mention, to be honest, except they just encourage me not to declutter... The jumbo size really is huge. Their most impressive feat so far is that a jumbo bag completely swallowed a futon, one of those trifold ones you use for a guest bed. It was a real problem to store and now it's shrunk to a manageable size to shove under the bed. To make better use of space when you vac the bags, I'd suggest pressing the contents flat while you extract the air, or you might not be able to stack them neatly. You can do it single-handed –– I managed it –– but it's easier with a bit of help. The air's extracted so throughly that the contents can curl up and it's harder to flatten the bags once they're sealed. Overall, terrific quality and I'll be buying more.

I just used the supplied "large" bag to seal away my 4 TOG summer duvet for the Winter. This is what I found: 1. The zips are not fitted when the bags arrive. I got 8 plastic zips in a bag of their own and had to figure out what to do with them. (Not a big issue I suppose.) 2. You can only fill the bags to the "fill-line", so for the large size bag, the quoted 80x60cm is a bit misleading. The usable internal dimensions of the large bag as supplied are only 69x57.6cm up to the fill line. 3. The stated sizes of the supplied bags are the sizes as supplied flat, i.e. length and width. They do not have any depth. So, when you store anything that has depth (e.g. my duvet), the length and the width of the bag shrink a bit. So for example, the large bag when filled with my duvet (before sucking) measured 64x49x18. That is the size that you have to fold your duvet down to in order to get it in up to the fill line. 18cm was the maximum depth of my duvet in the middle of the bag. 4. My Dyson hose didn't fit snugly on the blue valve. But maybe it worked good enough. Dysons have a nobble on the ends of their hoses to fit their tools. The valve that is built-in to the bag stopped it re-inflating for long enough to screw the cap back on after I took the Dyson away. 4. After sucking, my duvet has shrunk to 65x45x5cm. The 5cm is a rough average because the final shape comes out slightly knobbly. So shrinkage is better than one third original size, but not one fifth original size (which is what the advertised 80% would equate to). So I'm happy with what I bought. I just feel annoyed when suppliers over-sell their product. It's a good product, they don't need to over-sell it. In particular, the bags are not as big as we are led to believe, and the compression is a bit less than we are led to believe.

These are amazing. It’s brilliant watching them shrink down in size. So excited by the magic I insisted my partner watched as I vacuumed the jumbo bag of sleeping bags and pillows. I’ve used all the sizes and it’s several months later now and all are remaining fully airtight. I have some in the bottom of my wardrobe for seasonal clothes, sleeping bags, etc and I’ve used some for holdalls and packing blankets which are stored in our garage which is a cold, airy and sometimes wet place and these are still perfect even after the freezing winter and rain. I’m a big fan. The trick is to ensure you use the little zip adapter properly from the very beginning to the very end of the closing strip. Zip slowly and carefully and it holds the strip closed and airtight perfectly. On jumbo bags it helps to have a friend to hold the strip flat and tight whilst your zipping. Or I just sit on them to flatten a bit whilst zipping. Do not overfill to the extent it’s tricky to get the closing strips together. Having said that mine are pretty packed in. The plastic is strong and definitely up for the job. I love them and certainly recommend them.

I recently purchased the SpaceSaver Vacuum Storage Bags to maximize storage space for my clothing, and overall, they have proven to be an effective solution. These bags are a game-changer for anyone looking to declutter and save space. Space-Efficient: The primary goal of these vacuum storage bags is achieved exceptionally well. They significantly reduce the volume of clothing and bedding, allowing for more efficient use of storage space. Perfect for seasonal clothing or bulkier items like comforters. Multiple Sizes: The variety of sizes included in the pack is a definite plus. It provides flexibility in choosing the right size for different items, ensuring a customized and snug fit for optimal compression. Easy to Use: The vacuum bags are user-friendly, and the included hand pump simplifies the process of removing air. The transparent design allows for easy identification of items stored in each bag. Durable Material: The material used in these bags feels durable and robust, contributing to their overall effectiveness in preserving the condition of the stored items. While the SpaceSaver Vacuum Storage Bags are generally reliable, I encountered a minor issue with a few bags having tiny holes or cuts. This resulted in gradual air leakage over time, slightly diminishing the effectiveness of the vacuum seal. Fortunately, the variety of sizes offered meant I could still utilize the undamaged bags for different items, and the defective ones were easily identified and replaced. It's worth checking each bag upon receipt to ensure they are intact.

I bought these bags for university to help reduce the space that it takes up in the car. So far I am pleased with the quality and the included and pump does do the trick if you don't have a vacuum handy so it has strong potential for travel uses (except flights unless you have unlimited baggage weight). I haven't tested the longevity of the bags as I have only recently started using them but I think a once or twice use for me isn't too bad considering I get 12 of varying sizes and will only be using it a handful of times. The negatives are short, it can be a little difficult to get things in (maybe I was using the wrong sized bag but I got it in there) but you need to be super careful trying to get your stuff in so you don't compromise the seal at the opening as I've had previous bags which fail there for no reason. The next issue is about the valve, I had one experience when I was testing it on a teddy bear and the shape of it seemed to push the valve open, obviously letting air in, I ended up having to lift the valve a little just so it wasn't being pushed on. A little frustrating if you don't realise and air keeps filling the bag, so a little note to the seller would be if the could get the past valve guards to be a little bit longer should do the trick. A tip would be to pack quite fluffy or airy things as they'll squish down the most but if you have enough bags you could use it on anything. Overall I see nothing wrong with it, got what I paid for and does what it says on the tin.

I purchased these bags a year ago for use while camping but only used the smaller bags which worked amazing, however this year I've gone to use the bags and they just do not work, its the 1st time I've used the jumbo bags and not one of them stays vac packed and a multiple smaller ones no longer work either out of 15 bags I have around 6 working ones and had to bin the rest. Either the valve doesn't work or they have tiny slits in somewhere that then slowly lets air back in. Slighlty disappointed but if you get a good batch they are very useful bags

I bought a set of these bags 6 months ago. They are made of good quality plastic and have proved easy to use and very durable. They are easily deflated using the enclosed hand pump. I've used them to store clothes which do get pretty creased admittedly but a good session with an iron soon sorts this out. Perhaps the best thing has been the absolutely exceptional customer service I've received from this company. Shortly after purchasing one of the medium bags developed a small hole and wouldn't deflate. I emailed the company one evening asking if it would be possible to receive a replacement under their lifetime guarantee. To my surprise later that evening I received a reply saying yes, no problem (around 10 pm!) An even bigger surprise was to receive an entire set of bags as a replacement, not just one bag to cover the defective one which was what I expected!!! So generous!!! I was so surprised that l had to contact the company again to check this wasn't a mistake; it wasn't!!! I think this is simply terrific service and would have no hesitation in recommending buying these bags from this company. I don't think I've ever received such good service!!! My only request would be this, would it be possible to buy a set of the small bags on their own? It would be great if the company would consider/do this as not not all items requiring to be stored are huge.

Meine Frau ist begeistert...

This is the second time that I have purchased Vacuum storage bags and I have to say I thought buying this brand would be better then the cheap ones I brought years ago. I am not sure if I am doing it wrong but I have followed the instructions not to overfill however the 2 that I have used for bedding have needed to have the air sucked out again. The product itself seems to be of excellent quality however the air creeps back in needing to be sucked again.

They don't hold vacuüm. Al of them are filled with clothing and blankets, all of them lost vacuüm.

Ottimi sacchetti, usati per ridurre spazio in valigia, pompetta a mano facile da usare

Alle Tüten halten sehr lange das Vakuum. Habe bis jetzt eigentlich nicht beobachten können, dass die Sachen wieder Luft ziehen. Sehr Praktisch für Reisen. Die Handpumpe nicht vergessen mitzunehmen, sondern müsst ihr Staubsauger im Hotel ausleihen. :-)
