Amazon Basics Vacuum Compression Space Saving Storage Bags with Hand Pump for Clothes Packing, Jumbo, Clear, Pack of 6

Huge space saver! Easy to use, strong seal, and the hand pump is handy for travel. Great value for organizing.These bags are excellent for reducing storage bulk—easily shrink comforters, sweaters, and pillows to a fraction of their size. The double-zipper seal is sturdy and easy to close, with a clear click-lock feel. The valve works well with both the included hand pump and a vacuum. The plastic is thick but soft and flexible, not stiff or crinkly, so it’s gentle on fabrics. Great for closets, travel, or seasonal storage.

These are great. I already bought more because they worked so well the first time. The plastic is nice and thick, so I don’t feel like I have to be extra careful when handling them. I can pack them full without worrying about accidentally poking a hole or tearing the material.The double-zip seal is one of the easiest I’ve used. Some vacuum storage bags can be a struggle to close all the way, but these seal up quickly and securely without needing an extra person to help. The vacuum port also has a simple twist-off lid and works perfectly with my regular household vacuum. I was honestly shocked by how much air I was able to remove. It really compressed everything down.These bags have made a huge difference in saving space. I’ve used them for baby clothes, my own out-of-season clothes, and even extra blankets. They’ve held up well, and nothing has puffed back up so far. They’re functional, easy to use, and a great value. I’m really happy I gave them a try.Pros:✅ Thick, durable plastic that doesn’t tear easily✅ Easy-to-use double-zip seal✅ Vacuum port works with a standard vacuum✅ Compresses clothes and blankets extremely well✅ Great for saving space in closets or storage bins✅ Already tested and repurchasedCons:❌ If you're anything like me you will end up buying more❌ I did not try using the included pump, the vacuum was so quick and easy

These bags are great for reducing the volume of items I need stored. I put off season clothing and extra bedding in them. They hold a good amount. The pump is easy enough to use. They’re not flexible once you’ve removed the air, so if you need the bags to fit a specific place, keep that in mind. It’s a 4 star review because one of the bags arrived with a hole in the bottom corner and it inflates back up.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I try to always shop for the best price point against other similar items. In comparison, this selection led the pack.Storage capacity:Please note that the size of these bags are primarily for comforters, etc. At first thought, I believed they would be too much for my plan to pack a carry-on suitcase. I gave it a try, realizing I only needed a fraction of the bag, which allowed me to add a few more pieces ;-). All done, there was literally room for twice more. I drew the air out, folded it in half, and was able to fit the bag in the suitcase with ease. Even letting the air out to grab a few pieces, left enough air for the bag to remain in the suitcase. The point is to acknowledge that the air does not escape as does a balloon. I highly recommend buying this item, as it is great for storage. Understandably, the more you add the more the bag weighs. However, it's easy enough to lift into place. This is an alternative use; but if you have a few loads of clothes to take to the laundry, each bag would handle a load deflated. I would imagine how easy it would be to pack a few bags in the trunk for washing. Wipe them out before adding the clean items back. And, voila! That's really taking a load off.I was super pleased, not only with the amount of clothes the bags hold; but, I was glad for the concept that literally held double the amount in a carry-on suitcase. I used a vacuum to deflate the bag. I presume a blow dryer would work as well, prolly better for hygienic reasons. If you're doing a return trip it is important to have a tool to re-deflate the bags. Let's just say, the hand tool will give you quite a workout; but, may be easiest for carry-ons. Lastly, I love these bags. They are great quality. They are a great value!

These are quite useful. A couple had leaks but didn’t matter. I used them to keep moths from my sweaters after years of finding holes after a summer of not wearing them. I’ll open them back up in the fall and let you know.

So I'm going to be moving soon and I have a whole bunch of kids clothes that are taking up a bunch of space and totes way too much space to be honest so I bought these not knowing how they would be and oh my God amazing they save so much space they squished on the clothes and so much smaller than them being in totes and bins I would definitely recommend they are thick quality easy to carry around easy to store I also the plastic is like thicker and I've had any problems with it it was super easy to use
