"OK storage, but leak and tear easily"
I bought a bunch of these to move with. This Extra Large size was useful for packing bedding in, but the zippers can be very contrary (falling off, or not zipping smoothly), the valves leak, and the bags tear fairly easily. All of these problems were worst on the XL bags.

"Great for storage/move"
I was very skeptical of this seemingly "made for tv" product, but I have to say..its exceeded my expectations. We were able to pack a comforter, sheets and pillows all into one bag, then shrink it down to 1/4 of the size. It really has to be seen to be believed. We purchased them for when we moved apartments, but seeing as they save so much space, we plan to keep them around for winter/summer clothes storage.

"These worked better than I expected"
After reading many reviews saying these things didn't work, I was hesitant to buy them. But I was desperate to consolidate 3 large boxes of quilts and blankets that were stored in my basement, so I decided to give the Space Bags a try. I didn't have any trouble keeping the bags sealed at all. They've been sealed for over a month now with no leaks. I would recommend that after you seal the bag, you put your ear down to it to see if you can hear any air leaking. At first I heard air leaking out and realized I hadn't secured the zipper closure all the way across. After realizing that, these bags worked perfectly. Three huge boxes were condensed into 2 Space Bags in my basement.

"A Plastic Bag Lasts Longer Than These......"
I bought space bags for a move and now that I'm moving again I find out they are really only good for single, short term use. The blue "sealers" break off easily. The bags that still have sealers do not hold and often break in random places after sucking the air out. I can't imagine they would be any good for long term storage.

"ITW Space Bags"
I have been using these bags for the past couple months now and they are a life (space)saver! My 2 step daughters just moved in with us and of course we needed more room in all the closets. I bought a few large and extra large bags to store several blankets, pillows, sheet sets, etc. Wow, what a difference! I have all of that stored under my bed now. This is the best invention I have seen in years.

What our customer's say!

"not reliable bags", These space bags work to some degree, but are not reliable. They frequently leak air. The concept is great, but these are not well made.

"this is a junk", dont waste your money. this is a junk, easy to get broken for only one time used. The quality are so poor

"Great for Overseas Deployments", I bought these for an 8 month overseas deployment. They worked great. They are great if you are limited on the amount of bags you can take with you. I also bought the Shark Turbo Hand Vac - EP033TN for about $20 to take with me. If you pack with Space Bags and you don't have a vacuum to repack on your return you are pretty much going to be hating life. It is small and lightweight; perfect for travel.

"Terrific Idea, terrible product!!", I was about to order these, and saw the bad reviews. I thought these were a bunch of monkeys that weren't any smarter than the bag itself!! I used them before and they worked just GREAT!! But to be on the safe side I checked the ones I have already used to make sure they were still working. ALL seven of them have lost their vacuum!! I won't be ordering any more of these until they improve the quality of them!! I would NOT recommend them to anyone for any reason!! Of all my reviews, this is my only negative one!!

I could only get these things to work about half the time...And even then they would seal for a while and spring a leak later.

So now when I need to pack up stuff for the winter I just grab a 30 gal. trash bag, load it up and sit on top of it to squish out most of the air. After twisting the top and tying a knot in it, I get cheap and compact way to store bulky items.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"great",
amazing how a large comforter can fit in a little bag. These are good quality bags. Easy to use with a standard vac hose.

"no problems here", I didn't have a single problem sealing or sucking the air out. I gave it 4 instead of 5 only because I just packed them up, so we'll see how long it stays sealed.


"DONT'T WASTE YOUR MONEY", I should have listened to the other reviews, but I thought I'd see for myself if it was a good buy or not. One of the bags did stay compressed, but only for 5 days. The other bag would not stay compressed no matter what I did. The makers of these bags really need to get their stuff together and make these bags better.

"Work as advertised or even a touch better.", My wife is obsessed with cleanliness. She vacuums our entire home every day, and oil soaps the floors every two weeks; she wouldn't open a window if it didn't save a dime on air conditioning, because she's sure the bugs and dust will come rushing in (funny that she married her exact opposite in these respects). So I was not suprised when she suddenly asked me to get Space Bags to keep the non-Summer bedding and clothing in--though being from Japan I was a bit suprised she had picked up on the commercials from what tiny bit of American television she watches.

These things really are as good as they seem in the commercials. The plastic is good and thick, and the seals are absolutely leak proof. And for working like they claim to, I give them five stars.

I know people are thinking that five stars requires a rave review, but my opinion is that things should simply work as they're designed to do--perhaps even exceed expectations--and that it's nothing to dance in the street about when they do.

BOTTOM LINE: Space Bags work quite nicely, they're priced appropriately, and are quite durable--nothing more you really need to know.

"WOW! Why'd I wait so long to try these???", I just got my order of 2 jumbo spacebags-- and WOW! The king comforter shrunk down to next to nothing in the XL size bag! I did not have a poblem getting the ziplock seal closed- it worked great for me. I just ordered 6 more bags...I think that should pretty much should take care of my linen closet! When compressed they were not as flat and smooth as I expected, but I found on my second try if I hold it flat and keep pulling the edges out it does get flatter and smoother, and when I did a more "subatantial" comforter it did stay smoother. I think with some practice I can have them looking like the commercials! at first I was concerned as my vacuum hose did not fit perfectly over the nozzle, but just holding it flush worked fine. I intend to seal sets seperately so it's not a hassle to actually use the linens when I want them. In my photo I said it was jumbo bag- I was mitaken, they are indeed XL bags. The XL fit a "flimsy" king comforter and was just big enough for a thicker queen comforter.
