Amazon Basics Vacuum Compression Space Saving Storage Bags with Hand Pump, Large, Pack of 5, Clear

These vacuum storage bags work perfectly for organizing and saving space. They seal tightly, hold a lot of clothing, and stay compressed without leaking air. Perfect for travel and storing seasonal items. This gives plenty of options for different sizes, and the material feels durable and reusable. A must have for keeping everything neat and compact.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I try to always shop for the best price point against other similar items. In comparison, this selection led the pack.Storage capacity:Please note that the size of these bags are primarily for comforters, etc. At first thought, I believed they would be too much for my plan to pack a carry-on suitcase. I gave it a try, realizing I only needed a fraction of the bag, which allowed me to add a few more pieces ;-). All done, there was literally room for twice more. I drew the air out, folded it in half, and was able to fit the bag in the suitcase with ease. Even letting the air out to grab a few pieces, left enough air for the bag to remain in the suitcase. The point is to acknowledge that the air does not escape as does a balloon. I highly recommend buying this item, as it is great for storage. Understandably, the more you add the more the bag weighs. However, it's easy enough to lift into place. This is an alternative use; but if you have a few loads of clothes to take to the laundry, each bag would handle a load deflated. I would imagine how easy it would be to pack a few bags in the trunk for washing. Wipe them out before adding the clean items back. And, voila! That's really taking a load off.I was super pleased, not only with the amount of clothes the bags hold; but, I was glad for the concept that literally held double the amount in a carry-on suitcase. I used a vacuum to deflate the bag. I presume a blow dryer would work as well, prolly better for hygienic reasons. If you're doing a return trip it is important to have a tool to re-deflate the bags. Let's just say, the hand tool will give you quite a workout; but, may be easiest for carry-ons. Lastly, I love these bags. They are great quality. They are a great value!

I got the jumbo size and overall they worked really well. They are easy to fill, sealed up nicely, and saved me a ton of space in the closet. Most of them are still holding up perfectly, but one of the bags randomly started to reinflate after a few weeks 😒 which was a little frustrating. Still, for the price and the amount of space I saved, I’d say they’re worth it—just hoping it was a one-off issue, maybe I’ll get a smaller size the next time.

Very thick quality, storage capacity is great! Saved me a lot of space to store my winter comforters. It’s very easy and simple to use it took me 10 minutes to use 4 large bags and compress everything together!

Great quality thick plastic bags. The hand pump works really well. Easy to seal and has a firm secure slider seal. These bags hold eight sweaters in one bag. Winter snow pants and hats fit in one bag. A quilt and sheets are great storage idea to keep them fresh when company comes to visit. I will definitely order a variety of sizes

Decent product for the most part, easy enough to use and the pump worked great to remove the air. I've checked the ones I'm using about every two weeks, just to see how they are holding up, and so far, so good.However, a couple of things:1) The bags are not very durable. The plastic is fairly brittle despite the description, so you have to be extremely careful when storing (I.e., there's no real give in the plastic). If you are putting on wooden or metal storage shelves, you will have to set cleanly or put something over the shelf to ensure that no bumps, imperfections, etc...come in contact with the bag. If not, the bag will rip easily. I lost 1 of the 5 purchased due to this. I'm guessing this is to ensure that you always need to buy extra and that you don't reuse them, which is a prevalent but unfortunate mentality/strategy.2) It is beyond frustrating that there is no option to purchase bags without a pump. I could really use another set, but I am reluctant to purchase because then I get another pump (i.e., more pieces of plastic), that I don't need. Others noted issues with the pump, so maybe the one I have will stop working sooner rather than later, but that is also absolutely horrible. (More throwaway consumerism). I'll keep looking for similar options that might be less wasteful.So, they worked for the most part as I needed them to, but the quality could definitely be better and the inability to purchase bags separate from the pump is a big downside for me.

These are indeed large compression storage bags. The accompanied vacuum pump is good, however, we attached the home vacuum hose to achieve more suction power. The bags seal properly without leaking air in, even after 2 days. They are truly space savers and we were able to fit a lot of clothes to be able to travel for 2 weeks in just duffle bags on Spirit Airlines without having to pay for carry-on or check-in baggage fees.Highly recommend!

I would definitely recommend purchasing this product for those who have an upcoming move or are just generally looking for more compact storage options. The only downside to these vacuum seal bags is that one of mine had trouble keeping the air out of it, after a day that it was deflated completely, it did re-inflate so be sure to not overfill the bag and completely seal it to get maximum use of your product.
