When the bags don't work they seem to leak down after a couple of days. I have not tried to use garbage bags and if they work it would be much cheaper I like cheaper. Good fortune either way, redbeard. My opinion of space bags is that they were a good idea that didn't quite work. They tear easily and they get brittle and crack very quickly. The closures were flimsy and came off or broke very quickly. Advertisement Glenda. I was on a trip in Hawii and was having trouble fitting everything into my suitcase for my return, since I bought so much while there.
So I took a chance and tried the spacebags from a local store. Well I was impressed as they did the job. They were helpful, but not as great as the commercials make them sound but they are a great help. I'm not seeing the same problems you guys are having either. I've used them on two of my Army deployments and as long as you don't abuse them they work great.
It makes packing 4 sets of ACUs and cold weather gear a snap in my bag. Take care of them and don't subject them to abuse and they will work great. Advertisement I didn't like the ones you "had" to use a vacuum for but now they have ones you can roll the air out. They are hands down better than the old ones. A lot of people in my unit are using them to compress down their gear and keep it clean and dry.
My mom uses them. I think if you're one of those super-organized people who switch their closet out from summer to winter, then they'll work great for you I've raised my bed up over a foot from the ground so I have lots of room to put these bins. But, I'm not the organized type that'll take the time to suck the air out with a vacuum cleaner But if you are, I think you'll really like them for your winter wear or special "once-a-year" fancy dresses or suits. Also, on channel 9 I've seen that tip guy showing how to use a regular large plastic garbage bag with the vacume to do the very same thing!
I have only used them for one season and maybe I have been lucky but so far, I love them; so does my daughter. Of course, I have no experience in how long they will last but I can sure pack a bunch of stuff in them. Advertisement I put them in a trunk for out-of-season storage.
Out of 3 bags 3L-1jumbo only the jumbo has filled back up with air. I bought mine from a TV info commercial. I probably put those into one of the bags??? I don't recall the maker of bags. I do know they don't hold as much as advertised. Advertisement Also, can't seem to get the bags flattened. I am not at all impressed with my purchase.
Yet,they still help condense those bulky items, better than in a drawer space. I have purchased several space bags and none of them have worked. I put a bridal veil in one and it didn't even work with that. The air immediately starts to come out. I even tried to tape over the zipper, no luck. I have tried so hard to get these to work no luck I first bought on t. I am ashamed to say I have wasted a lot of money on Space Bags.
I have put things in them, and sealed them up, being sure to follow the directions exactly, only to come back anywhere from an hour to a week later, and the air has gone right back into the bag and it's all puffed up again.
I have come up with another solution that works much better, although admittedly it's a lot more work. I use a food storage vacuum sealer. For my large items like quilts, coats, etc I do some cutting and sealing to "create" bags that will work I do wish they'd come up with very large bags for us!
But these have kept my items vacuum sealed for many monthsover the entire "off season" when I have them packed away. Granted this way initially costs more for the machine and I do go through a lot of rolls of bags, but I save in the end by not having to have as many plastic bins to put things in! These don't work like they are supposed to. Even if you follow the directions to the letter.
Such a money waster.
