Review on ๐Ÿงณ Amazon Basics Travel Compression Bags with Rolling Design, No Vacuum Needed - Set of 8 by Brant Watson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Is working. but in space saver bags

I've used real vacuum bags in the past and they've been great for compressing clothes into very small bags! Decided to give it a try as you don't need a vacuum which is a big plus when you get home. The plastic seems quite durable. I bet you honestly couldn't use them more than twice. Smaller pockets are comfortable enough to carry shirts and pants. Big is a pain for bigger items like a big jacket. If you take the time (and you do!) to roll up a large item, it will start to come out of the top of the bag. With real vacuum bags, this isn't a problem as you just suck out the air and don't have to worry about holding your clothes in place while you're trying to pump out the air. The zippers came undone a few times when I tried to roll up tightly both the small and large bags. Annoying but not harmful. And they are NO WAY close to getting clothes the size of actual vacuum bags. Perhaps the first time I've been spoiled by real vacuum bags. They work, but not as well, and save space. I'll give them a solid "MEH"

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.
