Cozy Essential Travel Vacuum Clothes Bags with Electric Pump for Luggage, Suitcase, Seal Space Saver Compression for Clothing, Transparent, 8 Pack

I'll tell you where the space savings from using these vacuum bags really helps - in an RV. RVs never have enough storage space. We carry extra bedding (sheets, pillows, blanket) for when we need them for guests. Vacuum bags really compress these to 50% or less, especially pillows.Before buying this brand, I looked at the others. How is it that no matter the brand, 6% say that they don't work? Are 6% defective or are 6% not following the instructions for usage? I don't know, but my experience is that they have held their vacuums very well. The instructions warn that some leakage will naturally occur over 3-4 months. I've not had them that long, but so far they've worked very well.The hand pump works surprisingly well. A vacuum cleaner will suck out almost all of the air in a couple seconds. The hand pump will take 1/2 a minute but seems to create a slightly better vacuum, perhaps because it works slower. You can certainly use both.Make sure that you don't lose the so-called zipper clips. They give you extras. Once you tear open the bag, place the extras in a Ziploc. Move them at least 4 times each back and forth while squeezing both sides of the clip together.

These vacuum storage bags exceeded my expectations and made organizing and storing bulky items so much easier! The set comes with a great variety of sizes—2 jumbo, 2 large, 3 medium, and 3 small—which was perfect for packing everything from comforters and blankets to out-of-season clothing. Super strong material and the clear color makes it easy to see what you have.The compression is impressive. I was able to reduce large piles of bedding into a fraction of their original size, which saved a ton of space in my closet and under-bed storage bins. The bags sealed tightly and held the vacuum seal without leaking air over time.The included hand pump is a great bonus, especially if you don’t have a vacuum nearby. It’s compact, easy to use, and surprisingly effective at removing the air from the bags. I tested a few bags with both the pump and my vacuum, and both methods worked equally well.Highly recommend these for anyone looking to maximize storage space, especially in small apartments or for seasonal storage. Durable, easy to use, and a great value!

First, let me start by saying I purchased these because I was moving. I needed to fit the most amount of clothes and bedding in a small space. These were quite perfect for the job.I was able to stuff a lot of clothes into them, once the air is pumped away, the amount of space it takes becomes much more manageable.However, if you are looking for long term storage, I have bad news for you. After a week or two, the zip is not sealed enough to hold the pressure. Air slowly leak into the bags, and they expand. There might be other more durable items for that job.For the purpose of moving, it worked and it worked pretty well.

These vacuum bags are the largest ones I’ve gotten, although they’re still not as large as the listed dimensions. That’s not unique to this brand, it seems to be a common thing with vacuum storage bags which is annoying when I’m trying to find out if the capacity is large enough for my outdoor furniture cushions. I didn’t think to measure them before I put my cushions in, but I’d say they’re roughly 10” shorter in both directions. Anyhow, these are the best ones I’ve tried to date, as far as capacity. I use a vacuum rather than the included hand pump bc I value my time. It’s too soon to say how well they maintain their vacuumed state- a lot of other brands puff back up in a few weeks/months. If I notice that happening, I’ll try to remember to update my review.

These are pretty awesome as you get the full gamut of sizes. Quality is spot on. Durability appears to be as well. The air pump provided is super easy to use. You just screw the pump on the bag clamp and pump away until you’re satisfied with the outcome. You also get bag clips that are also easy to slide on to keep things nice and sealed (these go on first, then you pump the air out).I included pics of what a storage box looks like after using them. I didn't take before pics, but each ziplocked bag needed its own storage, effectively saving me an entire storage box after their use. I’ve used 4 so far, allowing me to go from 4 IKEA under the bed boxes to 2.The pic included is of 2 king size blankets after about two weeks - no air leakage from the bags whatsoever.Very pleased and highly recommend!

I bought these for an 11 day cruise. My actual vacation was 16 days, so I needed to pack a lot of clothes, since we didn’t have the ability to do laundry. These bags are INCREDIBLE!! Obviously the vacuum seal worked great with my vacuum when I packed for my trip. I didn’t have high hopes for the hand pump, but I tossed it in my suitcase anyway. Upon packing for home, I was SHOCKED at how well the hand pump removed all the air and once again vacuum sealed the bags!! The hand pump may have been more effective than my vacuum! I am thrilled with this purchase! Not only for traveling but around the house too!

Wow, those jumbo bags hold a lot! The large bags hold a lot as well! I don’t really think the rest of the bags are worth the money. They’re kind of small kind of only hold maybe a couple throw pillows maybe a bed pillow and that’s really all that’ll fit in them, but They are very thick material and very easy to flatten with the pump that is included easier than any other brand I’ve tried. They are designed well and I have no trouble with excess air. These bags are clear in color easy to zip and very functional. I give this product five stars. I would like in the future to only purchase the jumbo or large size bags as I found them the most useful. The jumbo are very large however, I love that.

I'm not terribly impressed by these bags. They are good if you want to do shorterm storage, but I would not recommend for long-term or important storage. Several of the bags have ripped and multiple bags have gotten air after I put them away. The price was low enough that I am pleased with the amount of usable bags I received.
