Vacuum Storage Bags with Electric Pump, 8 Jumbo Space Saver Bag for Clothes and Clothing, Bedroom Essentials for Bedding, Blankets, Comforters, Moving, Vacuum Seal Bags for Travel Luggage Packing

These bags are slightly different than the usuals. One side is opaque white, the other is transparent. This is different, not necessarily bad. Just be mindful of that. They work like any other vacc seal bag: fill to the line, seal the zip, suck out the air. The zip as as durable as other zip lock seals, and has the same tendency to not close all the way or come unzipped in the smallest ways, letting the bag reinflate over time. Plastic is a little more brittle than other brands, but I don't expect any plastic bag to be rip or puncture proof, ever, so I'm as careful as I can be when using and moving these. The pump is not very strong. Use the vacuum you have, and if traveling, push as much air out as possible before using the pump, it has a hard time sucking air out in a timely and quiet manner. It fits great in any bag, but you are much better off with a vacuum.

I’m trying out all kinds of vacuum bags and their portable vacuums. I really like them and use them all of the time. One of the things I like about these, as they aren’t fully see-through. I kind of like them more than see-through ones. They look neater from a visual side. Also, they seem to be a tiny bit thicker than the see-through ones. This can be a good thing or bad. Good in that it won’t tear easily and will offer more protection. Could be bad in that they are harder to take air out, as the bags won’t be able to form around what’s inside. These don’t have that problem. They form well around the contents of the bag. Now the pump. Portable with a plug and a short line. Which means you’re carrying an extension cord to use it. You probably have one if you are traveling with electronics, so that’s ok. This little thing is loud and does a good job taking the air out. I’m very impressed. Although I really like the manual pumps a lot better than a real vacuum. This little pump did a good job taking air out. A good variety of sizes to protect your belongings with a little pump that actually works.

I like the extra large size of these bags. We were able to get a king size comforter in them easily. Unfortunately two of the three bags we used leaked. I was unable to determine where they were leaking from. They vacuumed nicely but by the next morning it was obvious that were not holding the vacuum. The included vacuum is a nice to have and will do in a pinch but I found it to be slow and heat up in the time it took to vacuum out the air. Our home vacuum worked much faster and removed more air. I hope that the rest of the bags seal properly.

I was so excited to get this in the mail as there were some comforters and quilts in my bedroom that I wanted to put away and store. With closet space at a premium, I looked for a solution to a pile of linen shoved into a closet. This product fit the need perfectly! The pump really works and makes it so much easier to do and it has enough suction to work. No batteries is a great thing as well. We all have a pile of sweaters or blankets needing to be stored, so it is a great gift for all!

I had a few ideas that came to mind when I think about vacuum storage bags. The typical use of storing away winter jackets and sweaters, as well as bedding and the like was pretty obvious. What might not be as obvious is keeping moisture sensitive material like 3D printing PLA Filament dry. I have a bin with silica beads I keep my spools in, but I thought vacuum sealing in the ones I use less frequently might keep them protected from moisture exchange as I’m in and out of the bin. I saw this vacuum bag kit come up on the marketplace and decided to give my idea a try. The Shipment took only a few days and came in a modest cardboard box. The set came with eight JUMBO bags (more on that later) and the vacuum pump itself. After a little prep work to separate my spools I loaded up a bag along with some silica tried out the system. My first pain point was the placement of the valve. It’s located on the opaque side of the bag, making it hard to observe the contents while vacuuming out the air. The second issue was the length of the pump’s cord, which was pretty much useless without an extension cord. Next was the size of the bags. Being Nearly 40” x 30” these things are HUGE, and it almost dares you to load them to the brim. Not exactly a problem when you’re loading in soft comforters and sweaters, but when loading in things with hard edgers, this leads to problem number 4... fragility. The bags aren’t what I’d call robust or rugged. They are thin plastic bags and are clearly not meant for my purpose or anything like it, just soft lite materials. After just a few moments I found the bag started reinflating. Checking over the seals everything was closed up tight so I suspected a leak... I found 3 and patched them up with some tape. They have been holding vacuum since the initial test and patch job, but I fear moving the bag around will cause another leak. I think I’ll try loading them in a different way which might avoid any undue stress on the bags. Final thoughts: I realize this isn’t the intended purpose for the product, but I feel like for $25.99 the bags should be much thicker and durable, and the vacuum’s cord should be a lot longer. On the plus side, the vacuum worked great and voided the air from the bag rather quickly.

According to the product description, they’re suppose to have bags along with an electric pump. Received the bags, but no pump.

The size of these is big enough to store a queen size comforter PLUS other blankets or pillows. We just upgraded to a king size bed, so we have a bunch of blankets, pillows, and sheet sets to store. These will keep our items free from mold, dust, bugs, and moisture. The pump is small and easy to use. The bags seem thin enough to not make it unnecessarily heavy, but thick enough not to tear easily. Only thing I wish was different was the little tab that helps close the zip lock - I wish it was attached. It slides right off the end, which means I'm likely to lose them! But otherwise, these function beautifully. I've already filled four of them!

I have a lot of blankets/comforters and not a lot of storage. I thought the vacuum bags would come in handy, especially since they came with a small electric suction pump to remove air. The pump that is included doesn’t seem to remove as much air as I’d expect. A lot of air doesn’t get removed when using the vacuum bags for thick, fluffy blankets which was my primary purpose for getting the bags. The pump seems to work better for storing things like pillows. One side of the bag is clear so you can see what is being stored, and they seem to be well made. There is a plastic clip that works well to seal the bags. Overall, I think the bags and electric pump combo are worth getting. The bags are better than some that I have used in the past.
