Spacesaver Vacuum Storage Bags with Hand Pump, Variety, 12 Pack

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.

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. ***

A couple of the smaller bags don't stay deflated - air rushes in as soon as I remove the vacuum head, plus the largest bags are massive - great to store a heavy duvet - or two! Good quality plastic and fittings and I've used many of them with success, condensing bulky woollens and the like into a bags that can fit into the divan drawers, with a couple of others under anothed bed.

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 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.

These have possibly got to be one of the best things I have ever bought. Our flat is tiny with no cupboard space at all. Usually in the summer myself and my partner have to hand our clothes into the charity shop so we have enough space for our winter clothes. These compact bags are a total godsend we can now happily put our summer clothes away for next year the bags fit perfect under the bed. They are really worth the money for anyone who has a small house or to much clothes etc I even had enough room to put the bedding away without taking up any space. They are great value for money for the amount of bags you get and also the free foot pump included which makes it a lot easier to store your things away. I would highly recommend these to anyone they are very easy to use, smell fresh and take up hardly any room at all. I'm just sorry I never bought these sooner as it would've cost us a fortune on new clothes every year. I thought I may have to buy another box but one box was perfect size for mine and my partners clothes.

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

My parents got me to order this second set of the extra large mixed pack (definitely worth the extra money) for them, after seeing the space they saved. Would recommend when packing the bags is to make sure you fold the item neatly, as if not the creases are firmly sucked into the material. Simple to use and when you take them back out, they are ready to use, they even still had that freshly laundered smell, 8 weeks later. Everyone that’s seen them, have said they are ordering a pack. If like me you have numerous duvet sets, that take up so much space. Or you have lots of winter kit, taking up space in your cupboard or drawers, then buy these, as the space they save, has to be seen to be believed. If not travelling, then use your hoover to take out ALL of the air from inside the bags, it saves time and is much easier than the hand pump. Been a Great Purchase and would happily recommend to anyone.

Lot de 12 sacs de rangement 4 formats et 3 sacs par format avec une pompe manuelle. Pris pour faire de la place entre les couettes d'hiver et lit d'appoint que je rangeais dans des bacs hermétiques mais qui au gout de monsieur prenaient trop de place... J'ai donc opter pour les sacs les plus grands du marché trouvé avec la couette 260*240 cm. Elle y rentre impeccable. La petite pompe manuelle livrée est efficace et c'est un jeu d'enfant de s'en servir. Cela fait 3 mois et aucune déperdition de vide. Dans les sacs juste en dessous (large) 1 couette 1 pers + un oreiller y rentre. Dans le format medium j'y ai rangé 2 oreillers. Le plastique et la fermeture par zip semblent de bonne facture. J'ai aussi essayé avec l'aspirateur ça marche aussi vraiment bien. Je ne regrette vraiment pas mon choix pour ces sacs de rangements ! J'ai déjà été déçue de la qualité et la perte de vide par le passé mais ce kit m'a fait renoué avec ce système de rangement que notre grand ado a lui aussi adopté pour stocker ses vêtements entre 2 appart d'étudiants. Je recommande 😊 J’espère que mon commentaire sera utile à votre décision 👍

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.

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. :-)

Wir haben uns aufgrund der bisherigen Bewertungen für dieses Produkt entschieden und würden nicht enttäuscht. Da wir unsere alte Couch mit Stauraum gegen eine ohne Stauraum austauschen benötigten wir eine Lösung für die ganzen Kissen und Decken die wir haben. Wir waren angenehm überrascht darüber wie viel in die einzelnen Beutel reinpasst, so passten selbst in den 2. Größten Beutel 2 große Decken. Das Prinzip ist einfach und selbst erklärend. Deckel ab Luft Raussaugen Deckel wieder drauf fertig. Ich war fasziniert davon wie viel kleiner die Kissen wurden. Man sollte sich bloss an die Anleitung auf den Beuteln halten. Hier ist ein Bereich gekennzeichnet indem nichts drin sein darf, sonst hält der Verschluss nicht ganz dicht und das ganze sieht Luft. Aber das ist kein Produktfehler sondern ein Anwenderfehler. Alles in allem sind wir sehr zufrieden und werden die Beutel nochmal kaufen und für andere Dinge bsp. Skiklamotten nutzen

Llegó mucho antes de lo estipulado, muy buen producto, resistente y se mantiene al vacío
