I got the jumbo size and overall they worked really well. They are easy to fill, sealed up nicely, and saved me a ton of space in the closet. Most of them are still holding up perfectly, but one of the bags randomly started to reinflate after a few weeks 😒 which was a little frustrating. Still, for the price and the amount of space I saved, I’d say they’re worth it—just hoping it was a one-off issue, maybe I’ll get a smaller size the next time. Read more

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I try to always shop for the best price point against other similar items. In comparison, this selection led the pack. Storage capacity: Please note that the size of these bags are primarily for comforters, etc. At first thought, I believed they would be too much for my plan to pack a carry-on suitcase. I gave it a try, realizing I only needed a fraction of the bag, which allowed me to add a few more pieces ;-). All done, there was literally room for twice more. I drew the air out, folded it in half, and was able to fit the bag in the suitcase with ease. Even letting the air out to grab a few pieces, left enough air for the bag to remain in the suitcase. The point is to acknowledge that the air does not escape as does a balloon. I highly recommend buying this item, as it is great for storage. Understandably, the more you add the more the bag weighs. However, it's easy enough to lift into place. This is an alternative use; but if you have a few loads of clothes to take to the laundry, each bag would handle a load deflated. I would imagine how easy it would be to pack a few bags in the trunk for washing. Wipe them out before adding the clean items back. And, voila! That's really taking a load off. I was super pleased, not only with the amount of clothes the bags hold; but, I was glad for the concept that literally held double the amount in a carry-on suitcase. I used a vacuum to deflate the bag. I presume a blow dryer would work as well, prolly better for hygienic reasons. If you're doing a return trip it is important to have a tool to re-deflate the bags. Let's just say, the hand tool will give you quite a workout; but, may be easiest for carry-ons. Lastly, I love these bags. They are great quality. They are a great value! Read more

I bought these for the abundance of comforters and blankets that I have. I had two shelves that I was able to size down to a handleable size. I didn't try the hand punp. I used my vacume and sucked the air out of the bags. It worked great. These bags were just as good as the brand name ones to me. I love how they hold all they do. I was able to get one comforter (twin) and at least 3 blankets in one back with room to spare. They're so easy to use and move around as needed. Read more

These vacuum compression bags work exactly as expected and actually save a lot more space than I thought they would. They’re thick, sturdy, and don’t feel cheap or flimsy. I used them for blankets, jackets, and extra bedding, and everything compressed down really well without any air leaking back in. The zipper seals tightly and the valve works easily with a regular vacuum. Such a good way to organize and free up closet space. Great value for the price. Read more

We bought the Amazon Basics Vacuum Compression Bags to store linens in our camper during the off-season. They’re great in theory—easy to use and save a lot of space. The downside is that they tend to lose air fairly quickly, so the linens don’t stay as compressed as long as I’d hoped. They’re still useful for short-term storage, but not ideal if you want long-term airtight compression. Read more

Works great for compressing bulky items, and protected my clothes. They came out smelling fresh. The pump is easy to use. I really put these bags through a trial by fire, and so far only one has ripped. It tore up at the top of the bag (no clothes were harmed) as I was putting it away. Handle them with more care than I did, and don’t let them snag on stuff and you should be good. Read more
