Amazon Basics Vacuum Compression Space Saving Storage Bags with Hand Pump for Clothes Packing, Ideal for Blankets, X-Jumbo Pack of 4

Needed storage bags and these fit the bill. Have only needed to use one so far. The size was exactly what we needed. Not difficult to use, performed as it should. Plastic material is adequate. No air escape after a month. Seems like it will provide good protection. Made storage of items easy.

These bags are awesome! Sturdy, easy to use, very effective. Im going to use the small and medium ones for travel since the pump is so east to use and store

I think for the price, it works fine. But the construction of the button to twist and turn can pop out on its own, plus the clip to help it zip properly can come off easily too. It can be a hassle to actually seal the bag then vacuum it, but it works if you can get it to work.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Ordered these to help us pack to go home from our vacation. We needed some extra space in our luggage. These did the trick. Pro: held tight. Great size. Zipper is solid and even comes with little pieces to help the zipper seal better. The pump was easy and seals well. The pump is very light weight but effective. Cons: none
