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 Sidewinders Rains

Before I launch into the full product review, you must understand something about me. I am a clothing fiend! Between you and me, I have way too many clothes, and my apartment will only fit so much in its closets. I purchased these bags as a way to condense my clothes, especially when the seasons change. My plan was to purchase these, fill them up with seasonal items, and store them in my closet until the time came to take the clothes out again. I purchased these in May - so I was switching from winter to summer - and waited to review them after a few months on purpose. I noticed some of the reviews on here mention that the bags exploded. I wanted to see if these bags would actually hold the clothes and keep them flat in my closet. Months later, I'm happy to finally review these bags. First of all, these are probably the largest space vacuum bags on the market. Seriously, they are huge! They really are for blankets and pillows, and I knew I bit off more than I could chew when I purchased this size. However, they did a great job store in both my winter clothes and blankets. As I mentioned earlier, I have a ton of clothes, so two of these large bags accommodated just my winter clothes. The other four were used for pillows and blankets. I purchased these bags in May, and promptly stored my clothes. It is now November and I am happy to say out of the six bags, only one bag exploded. When I say exploded, I actually mean re-inflated. However, five out of six successful attempts is a good enough percentage for me! The three bags in my closet are currently still vacuum sealed. The other three bags were given to my mom for blankets and pillows. One out of those three re-inflated, but I really think it is my fault because I overstuffed it. That's what you have to understand about these vacuum bags. They are not invincible and do have a limit. You must make sure to follow the directions and use the bag correctly. You should not overfill them - in fact, over filling them will lead to reinflation - and you must make sure to listen for any leaks upon initially sealing them. Again, this is all in the directions, but I do feel like some people try to use these without following through actions, hence the negative reviews.Like I said, these Space Bags are very large and will probably fit in those very large suitcases, so if you're interested in condensing space for travel, these may be the bags for you. They are very beneficial for storing pillows and blankets. As long as you follow the directions on the package, you should have no problem using these!
