Space Bag 4 Large Plus 2 Travel Bags 4.2 5 12 24
Fairly decent - but there's a cheaper alternative For three of the bags, I was very, very careful - didn't over fill, didn't let anything stress the seams when I was filling - and I guess I got lucky, because those three all worked. I forced an oversized pillow into the fourth, and it no longer holds vacuum. Oops.After excitedly calling my Mum up to share, she informed me you can do the same thing as these bags with trash bags. I tested her theory today -- after a little trial and error, I found they work BETTER than the space bags. As a bonus, my clothes actually lay flat in the trash bags. Sweet.If you want a simple vacuum-and-store, go with these -- the valve makes it easy. If you want a cheaper alternative and are patient enough to spend a few extra seconds per bag practising your "pull the hose away, tie a rubber band quick!" technique before you get the hang of it, trash bags work just as well. 05/16/2010
Poor product Nice idea, but poor quality has the bags losing vacuum after a few weeks. Half of the bags I purchased wouldn't hold a vacuum. Two ripped while I was packing the clothes into it. The plastic is just too brittle to be of use. 05/03/2010
Great product I really like these bags. I find that they are made much better than a set I purchased over 5 years ago. However, the travel bag(s) are a waste since I really didn't need them. I put a couple of small items of clothing into them but I would have preferred to pay less and get only the large bags. I believe the travel bags should be an option and not inclusive.However, the large bags have worked so well, I've ordered the Cube set (1 lrg, 1 xlrg, & 1 jumbo). Much better value (no travel bags) for my large comforter & pillows.My closet sure looks much neater and I can hardly wait to fill the cube set.This is a great product. Don't overfill and it works just like the commercials. Also, I suggest that they not be stored upright on the zipper end as it puts a lot of pressure on the zipper. If you must store them upright, then make sure the zipper is at the top. 08/18/2010
great space saver We live in a Motorhome and storage can be an issue when seasons change. Spacebags are easy to use and work great. I am very happy with this product, it suits my needs perfectly in a small living space. 04/22/2010
