Tools and Hardware Reviews of ITW Space Bag Vacuum-Seal Storage Bags, Set of 3
Customer Review: Not impressed!
Summary: 2 Stars
I have had trouble with these bags staying sealed. I have done all I can do to try to make sure seal is tight and done correctly. These may work well for puffy/light things like blankets and pillows but I have not found them to be much help with clothes. They really don't save 75% of space and I find half of the ones I have bought to lose their seal on a consistent basis. The large ziploc bags can do just as good of job protecting your items. Also, things do not vacuum down perfectly like the picture on the box. You have to put just a few items in and make sure they are stacked perfectly to achieve this. You get nothing like the picture if you fill bag to the capacity line before vacuuming. You also get a lumpy, not very stackable final result.Customer Review: Don't expect a second use out of them!

I loved these bags at first. I rated them a "2" because with the first use, they work great. After that, though, it's a crap shoot if it'll work again. They seem to be too rigid in that when the vacuum seal is used, the bag compresses and sometimes can create folds that break open rendering the seal useless for multiple uses. I do use the bags again to store items, but can't vacuum seal and compress, so they're basically expensive plastic bags. If you only need them for 1 season or just one long-term use, then buy them, but don't expect them to keep working after the bag is reinflated. Some do work a second time, but I've never had a bag do three rounds of duty. I've bought the multi-pack and the cubes, and both have had the same issues.Customer Review: Great idea, if only it worked!

I'm in the same boat as many other posters: My bags re-flated. It was kind of funny actually. I'm a bit of a comforter-junkie - have lots of king-sized ones. So, I put them all in space bags and lo' and behold my linen closet looked just like the ones pictured in the Space Bag ads! Until the next week, that is. The sight when I opened that door was unbelievable!!! I had such a hard time getting those things out of the 24-inch doorway, I couldn't help but laugh. Needless to say, the bags ended up torn and ruined. Maybe the small bags work better, but I would definitely recommend that you avoid the large ones!!Customer Review: Save your money

I purchased the Space Bags, and as others have stated, you need to be careful when using them or they will tear. If you manage to fill all the bags while keeping them intact, you'll be lucky if you get more than one season out of them. Otherwise, they become just like any other storage bag, only less durable. My advice: save your money.Customer Review: Space bags

The medium bag could not be sealed properly and I had to keep using the vacuum everyday 'cause the air was getting in. I was not pleased with this at all. Also, the zipper seals keep coming off but I managed to re-insert them. The extra large and large bags were OK.
