Review on Jumbo Vacuum Storage Bags (6-Pack) - 80% More Clothes Storage Space | Compression Seal For Comforters, Blankets, Bedding, Clothing | Great For Closet & Travel Use With Pump Included. by Douglas Coronado

These work ok - not great, not terrible. Customer service was good, they sent not just a replacement but generously sent a whole new batch when one wasn't working. The next batch they sent worked fine. I bought these in 2017 and now almost 5 years later I still use these, so that's a positive, but mostly to store clothes and bedding at normal size. I don't really use the air pump, the hand pump is not really worth the time it takes and doesn't work that well. And using a vacuum isn't that worthwhile for me since I root through the bags often enough that it just seems impractical to constantly deflate and inflate. Sometimes the bags leak air back in over time too, so another disincentive for me to spend the time pumping air. For me, the bags are more just to protect from moths and other insects, not to save space. In hindsight, I probably should have just bought more storage bins, although to be fair these are less expensive. The bags are somewhat prone to tearing with repeated use, although not really complaining since they sent me those extra so I still have enough for my purposes. The clip to close the zip lock seems to work, although sometimes have to run it over the same spot a few times. The clips can also get lost, but. haven't had too much of a problem with this since I just borrow from another bag. I haven't used them to travel, although I would worry about deflating and tearing based on my home use. And finding a vacuum at my travel destination, I doubt I would want to use the hand pump. But that's all speculation, I haven't actually traveled with these. In summary: Decent product that makes a positive difference in my life, but definitely some practical shortcomings.
