The idea is very appealing, and at first it is neat to see your bulky stuff getting shrunk down. Overall it is very cheaply made. The bags puncture SO easily and then they are useless It is a total waste of money.

I bought a package of 2 of these Large space bags, and a package of 2 Extra-Large. The Large did not stay deflated for more than a day, but the Extra-Large are still good, a month later. Go figure!

The plastic that these bags are made of is way too thin to be practical. The bags rip very easily, even when used exactly as the manufacturer specifies. For the money you pay for what is essentially a plastic seal-lock bag with a valve, you’d think you would get a bag that utilized a thicker sheet of plastic. Also, the bags do not keep their seal. The valve itself can keep the air in after the air is vacuumed out, but not over an extended period of time. Perhaps the manufacturer could make the screw-on cap, more reliable. Perhaps the seams of the plastic bag are not sufficient. Perhaps the bags could be made more durably, I’m not sure, but this product is really poorly made.
Bottom line is that this product does not do what it advertises, it is built in a very shoddy fashion, it breaks easily, it doesn’t keep the vacuum seal (and the space saving advantages are lost). Do NOT buy this product.

I found that this was a fair deal. Price comparison to under-the-bed storage containers is equivalent. It didn’t vacuum out so much air that I now had a drawer full of clothes the size of a dime, but it did vacuum out a significant amount of air and compared to under-the-bed storage containers, these are superior because their shape is not as fixed; you could store these in more places than a bulky storage container. But if you’ve already compressed your clothing tightly, the vacuum isn’t going to significantly reduce the size and space bags aren’t going to replace my other storage containers. Overall a good value, but no coos or ooo’s and ah’s from me.

I love the idea and they really compress the cloths well. The problem is they leak and suck air back in over a few hours. I have bought these twice and all of the bags have leaked.
I hear others have had better luck, not me. I won’t buy them again.
