Review on 🧳 Amazon Basics Travel Compression Bags with Rolling Design, No Vacuum Needed - Set of 8 by Bobby Martinez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great for storage and organization

Works great. Yes, the little slider clips tend to pop out. But they're not critical to the product, and that's not a problem once you get the hang of it. Here's what worked for me: 1) Fold and hem the clothes and stuff them in the bag. 2) Release as much air as possible by simply tapping the bag with your hand. 3) Close the bag 85% by hand. Just like you zip up a sandwich bag but leave something open at the end. 4) Roll up the bag tightly and the air will escape through the small hole in the zipper. I worked from the ground so I could lean on the process. 5) Once you have deflated most of the air, pull up on the clip and slide to seal the last 15% of the bag. Check the remaining fillings again and make sure they are all sealed tightly. (For me, that's the main advantage of clips - the last 15% is easy to seal. However, you don't really need them.) That's it. They work very well. You can seal things in 30 seconds once you get the hang of it. I was surprised at the vacuum I created.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
