Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Space Bag 12 Storage Combo Packs in Color
Customer Review: Terrific Storage/Transport Solution!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm usually a sucker for gimmicks that I see on TV so when I spotted these bags for $20 at Costco I knew I had to purchase them. Typically I use these for two uses:
STORAGE OF OFF-SEASON CLOTHING/BEDDING:
The original intent for purchasing these was because I have a summer and winter comforter that were taking up way too much space. With ease I was able to fold up my King heavy down comforter and squeeze it into an XL bag. The great thing about these bags was I learned that after vacuuming the down comforter down, it compressed it quite a bit, making a whole lot more room for storing other items. After letting the comforter sit for 5 minutes, I was then able to open up the bag and put in my flannel sheets/pillow cases too! Talk about a one stop solution!
I am also a fan of sweaters/cardigans in the Fall/Winter so having these bags allows me to easily compress all my 'fluffy clothing' into a neat drawer. My biggest concern was that after storing items for 5 months, they would lose their fluff, but to my surprise they were fine after being air-tight for 5 months and were able to bounce back to their normal shape in an hour (putting the items in a dryer for a few minutes would also help a bunch).
The only gripe that I had, was that I got a little bit too greedy when filling one bag, and I forced the zipper closed which resulted in tearing of the bag. I know it was my own fault, so for the rest of the 11 bags that I had, I was very careful during the closing process. After reading a few reviews online, it seems that people get a much better seal if they move the zipper back and forth a few times to ensure a tight seal. You can do this or just slide your finger over the locking section if you're worried you might tear the bag (like me).
COMPACT TRANSPORTATION:
I did not even think of this idea until I had to move out of my 1 bedroom apartment into another, but having these Space Bags were a huge help. I own a 4 door sedan and having these Space Bags allowed me to fill my whole car with two closets and three dressers worth of clothing with plenty of room to spare! Although the bags do not vacuum down to a perfectly flat service, they are more than easy enough to stack on the seats of your car. In the past I used annoying Rubbermaid bins which often scratched/scuffed my car's leather seats, but the Space Bags are very forgiving and can be squeezed into tight places that hard plastic bins cannot!
The only downside that I have, is after filling these bags (to their capacity) they are very heavy! One bag with some particularly heavy clothing weighs close to 40 pounds, making it a bit difficult to carry multiple bags which was my hope since they compressed so small.
SUMMARY:
Among the best impulse buys that I have made. Just be careful when closing the zipper, as the bags can be easily torn if mishandled or overstuffed. Also be careful not to over-stuff since the bags get quite heavy pretty fast.
