Review on Maximize Closet Space With Jumbo Vacuum Storage Bags - Save 80% On Clothes Storage, Ideal For Bedding, Comforters, And Clothing by David Sidman

These are great! But for travel?

Spacesaver Premium Vacuum Storage Bags. 80% More Storage! Electric Pump for Travel! .:The Spacesaver vacuum storage bags have not changed much over the years. Looks like they've improved the valve and the seal, which is pretty much the whole deal. This little electric pump works much better than I thought it would and had no trouble at all taking the air out of some pillows. But now here's the thing that gets my eyebrow up about the pump and the sell; they say "Electric Pump for Travel!" but the thing is 120V ONLY! Most electrical devices can handle 120-240 volts without switching these days, so if you want this for travel, make sure it's domestic travel. :-D D-:Back to the bags, (and travel), I remember years ago one of my colleagues thought he was being smart and packed a bunch of these bags on a trip to China. We got there and he shopped like a bandit and then sucked everything down to these bricks of fabric etc. and filled the expandable suitcase he bought to its limit. It was the saddest and also the funniest thing I ever saw when he tried to lift it. Remember folks, fabric is HEAVY! So maybe there not so great for travel. Use UPS instead. :-DThe bags are incredible space savers at home though. Like I said, I took the air out of three pillows and now they all take up the space of one pillow and I can fit them all in the chest with no trouble. Great bags. View the hype with one eyebrow up.

Pros
  • Simply fill the bag, seal it, and use a vacuum cleaner to suck out the air, compressing the bag and creating more space
Cons
  • The bags can lose their seal over time
