Tools and Hardware Reviews of ITW Space Bag Vacuum-Seal Storage Bags, Set of 3
Customer Review: Probably matter of luck
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the combo pack of Space Bags to store an extra comforter and some winter clothes. The medium and large bags worked just fine, which was great, but the extra-large one re-inflated. That seems to be the experience some customers have had. On the other hand, others have had no problems at all. I'm guessing it comes down to a matter of luck in getting defective bags. So do ya feel lucky? Do ya...punk?
Obviously, that's not a ringing endorsement for the product. I have to say, though, when the Space Bags work, they're a wonderful thing. And when they don't, oh well, at least the bulk item was compacted temporarily, allowing you to stow it away. I personally won't be buying any more of them, though.
Customer Review: They work well but...
Summary: 3 Stars
These bags work well. At first I was rather dissapointed due to severe air leaks that i just couldn't seem to stop. But the bags zipper opening comes with a little puller thing (like a ziplock bag). Take this zipper pull off and seal it with your fingers. This is the only way you can be sure that the zipper tracks are lined up right and to get a tight seal you have to be able to feel it seal. Once i did this they worked fine.
Also the quality of your vaccume will determin how compact they will become. I reccomend using something like a shop vac for the best results.
Customer Review: Love the concept

Summary: 2 Stars
then the Space Bag is for you.
I highly do not recommend this item for its intended purpose of staying vacuum sealed since it does not. I filled the bag to its "do not exceed" line and vacuumed the air. The bag compressed, but after a few hours the bag started to fill with air, again.
Pretty much, the bag is like a jumbo, one-zip bag. It's good for putting stuff in it, sitting on top of it to deflate it, and zipping it up for environmental protection.
Oh, and the "zipper" slider, which has to be slided twice for "sealing" the bag, can cut the bag if placed too low along the grooves. Just a bit of info in case you still want to buy the Space Bag.
I won't say that I won't ever buy this product again, but I highly doubt that I would. I think I would buy garbage bags and knot their ends, instead.
