Bags smaller than expected, 3 pieces of knitwear only, however, enough bags for my needs. Couldn’t believe how easy it was. My son sister helped and she immediately ordered some for herself. Compact and used up little space, perfect!
Use mine on way hone from holiday, put my washing in them, makes your suitcase more manageable easier to wheel about when you have your holiday purchases to pack aswell
Sceptical to start with , but they do work. The cost difference between the sizes are nominal and it does depend what you want to store , however , if you get the jumbo you can always put more in one bag.
Took a punt on these, idea is to save space when travelling in the camper. We have a very bulky double sleeping bag which is in its own huge bag. I managed to stuff it inside one of these and it reduced its bulk by at least 75%!! The ‘punt’ part was the pump, as I thought it would be a gimmick, but to be honest, it was really quick to remove the air with little effort and did a splendid job. As with most ‘Amazon basics’ products, the bags are well made and pump screws on as opposed to push-in. I’m very pleased with them.
Bought these to help store my remaining belongings after I had a house fire and have had to move into a much smaller place. Excellent quality, can fit a lot into them and super useful to have a pump to remove the air – something that would be handy if you were using these for travel.
Got these for storing my garden furniture cushions over winter, and they’ve done the trick for that. Even managed to fit a king size 2″ thick memory foam mattress topper in to one, so I can actually fit it in the cupboard to put it away now!
I have ordered quite a few of these since January due to moving I’ve had 3 bags that just won’t stay vacuumed but one the whole good delivery was not to my home but an honest neighbour brought them round to me good pic of neighbour porch tho as I don’t have a porch
Second purchase if these
I know there are cheaper ones but you can’t go wrong with these Used to take fleeces abroad and have always done the job of reducing space – important when delivering for charities.
Highly Recommend
Good value for money. I’ve managed to fit all the summer duvets in them and can easily store them flat under the bed in the guest room! I’ve had them compressed for a month now and no sign of any leaks. My advice is to slowly extract the air, stopping to straighten and flatten the bag as you go. I did mine with about ten pauses. Nice and flat the store well on top of each other.
Summary:
This product is a game-changer for storage and organization. The Amazon Basics Vacuum Compression Storage Bags are a practical and efficient solution for maximizing space and keeping items free from dust, moisture, and pests.
Positive Features:
1. The variety of sizes (Jumbo, Large, Medium, Small) in the 12-pack set is a major plus. It caters to different storage needs, from bulky winter clothes to small trinkets.
2. The airtight valve and hand pump are user-friendly and effective. They ensure a tight seal, keeping the contents safe and reducing the bag size significantly.
3. The clear material of the bags is another advantage. It allows for easy identification of items without having to open the bag.
4. The bags are durable and reusable, making them a sustainable choice for storage needs.
5. The product’s overall quality and performance offer great value for money.
Areas for Improvement:
1. The hand pump, although functional, could be more robust. It sometimes requires a bit of effort to remove all the air from the bags.
2. The seal on some bags may occasionally loosen over time, requiring resealing. A stronger seal design could enhance the product’s reliability.
3. Instructions for optimal use could be more detailed, especially for first-time users.
In conclusion, these vacuum compression storage bags are a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to optimize space and protect their belongings. Despite a few minor areas for improvement, the product delivers on its promise and provides excellent value.
Fab bags with a zipper for each one, not like the other bags I bought which only incl one for the whole pack.
Handy travel pump too which is a bonus when you haven’t a vacuum to hand.
These bags are great value for money and great quality. They are really thick and robust better than others I have previously purchased. I love the fact that this set includes a pump, I know it’s much quicker to use a hoover but the pump is perfect for travelling/holidays. I use these bags in our caravan. They are perfect for storing all the bedding and keeping it fresh.
No real complaints from me. They seem to be holding vaccum (not sure that’s technically correct but close enough) steady for 6 weeks which is a good sign of longevity.
The suction pump and sealing accessories all worked as they should and the size of the bags were perfect – not to small and not too large: the larger bags can be a bit heavy to lift into a loft space, but these were fine.
I will check back and re-score them again in 6 months time, vaccum dependent.
Purchased these bags to store out of season clothes and save some space. The bags are well made, with thick plastic that retains its strength after multiple uses. The pump provided take a little longer than a vacuum to use, but is effective.
hese are by far the best suction bags I have ever used. Have bought them for a second time. makes storage really easy and may event take them in my travel suit case. would recommend
These despite being basic Amazon bags, are thicker and more robust than others . It comes with a simple pump that works. To be honest be lazy take the easy way, use a vacuum, you get much better compression, even on a chunky duvet and pillows.
Very easy to use, surprising amount of capacity. We used the hand pump to start with but even easier with a vacuum cleaner. These were used for compacting clothes for storage, very effective. Did the job well so pleased with our purchase
I ordered these to store a small double memory foam mattress topper, pillows and duvet. They are perfect for the job and so far there is no sign of them re-inflating. I used my vacuum rather than the pump which was supplied. Good value for money, compared with other similar products.
I really question why a hand pump is included. VERY few folk will not have a vacuum cleaner to take the air out, and who needs a heart attack doing it by hand
The bags that didn’t have holes in have worked really well so far!
I got the mixed size bundle and it’s super convenient for storing off-season clothing, duvets and throws. The Jumbo bag accommodated a double size 13 tog winter duvet. The Large bag took a thick fur throw. Brilliant.
First time I tried the bags one of them re-inflated the next day. I thought the bag was faulty but I sucked the air out again and made sure the seals were closed properly. Now it’s fine. I has been a month and the bags stay sealed. The only negative thing I noticed is the fabrics come out off the bag very creased. However, it’s a minor issue considering all the benefits. I’m going to buy more of the Medium and Large bags as I found them the most useful sizes for storing clothes.
