Smart Design MagicBag Original Instant Storage & Organization in Clothing & Closet Storage Review

I was skeptical about buying these bags online for fear that they might not be durable. I was very impressed with the thickness and strength of these bags! They work great and I have bought 2 more boxes. I bought medium sized bags and they are perfect for storing seasonal clothing at the top of the closet.

These bags are great. They are easy to open and easy to close. I had a problem with the zipper on one package but that was my fault. Don't overload your pockets. They are clearly marked and it is best to follow this marking. This allows you to remove as much air as possible. These are the best space saver vacuum bags I have ever used.

These bags are so fragile. The plastic is not durable at all. 2 of 6 bags never sealed. There must have been a pinhole somewhere. I had a RIP pack and tried to seal it with gorilla tape but the tear just went like a windshield crack. I will never buy these bags again. Like the concept but not the bags of this particular brand.

This is the perfect way to store woollens or other moth prone items. I only have one very slight complaint, which is that it's difficult to seal the top of the pouches. The instructions say to zip the zip three times over the top of the bag to ensure a good seal, but the zip VERY easily detaches from the edge of the bag. The rest of the bags are great.

Correction: three packages ok, not four. Update: The day after my last review, all the packs are full of air again. None of them worked properly. I've read and re-read the instructions and repeatedly tried and checked/re-checked for leaks the powerful Kirby vacuum. Nothing worked. waste of time and money. I'm having a terrible time getting these things to work. Two is great, but two just sucks all the air back in after a while. Maybe pilot error.

We purchased this product to see if we could use it to ship large items more cheaply. We tested a box of 3 medium sized pouches to see how long they would keep their smaller size as we cannot use them if they puff up during shipping. Following all the instructions, we put a blanket in one bag and pillows in the other two. One of the pillow bags had an instant failure - it didn't hold suction for 30 seconds. We tried several times with only 1 small pillow and no luck - bad bag. The other 2 bags…
