Vacuum Storage Bags

...wave when he suggested some vacuum storage bags. He said he’d seen them advertised on the shopping channel. We had no time to wait for a delivery though so we decided to go out to the shops to see if we could find some. We have a (very small) branch of Lakeland Plastics near to where we live. So, we drove out to see if they sold any. They did – but we underestimated the cost. Lakeland were selling them for £14.99 for a measly two bags. We reckoned ...
...three bags contained one large vacuum bag (55 x 85cm) and two jumbo bags (60 x 105cm). We bought three packs in total, giving us nine bags. These wonderful bags do everything they claim to do. My brother, dad and me managed to stuff a total of ten woolly tops into the large bag, 5 jackets into the second large bag and 4 coats into the next one. I have tons and tons of soft toys all over my room which I have always been unwilling to throw away, but ...

Review of Vacuum Storage Bags

I had decided to buy some of those vacum storage bags from the tv shopping channels. You know the ones i mean out all your spare bedding, clothes, towels soft toys ect in the bags suck all the air out and they store in a lot less room and are safe! The only problem was that they were quite expensive especially when you add the postage costs in to the price, so when my betterware catalogue was delivered a few weeks ago and I noticed they had started ...
...3 packs. Betterware bags ****************** Each pack has 3 bags in it 1 large (55 x 85 cm) and 2 jumbo (60 x 105cm) Each pack cost £13.99. These are different to the bag on tv and I have to say different isn't better! They are quite a thick plastic which feels very sturdy, the problem though is with the sealing system or not sealing system to be exact. The bags themselves are a white opaque but the top 6 inch or so of the bag is green inside, ...

...the air out with your vacuum cleaner. Again there are different ways to do this depending on the type of bag, so more on this later. The bag and its contents shrink down to about half their original size and the whole lot is much easier to store. How do they work? -------------------------- As I said there are different types available and I have three of them. The first type works in two ways - you can either seal and roll up to push the air ...
...the bag and put the vacuum nozzle into the gap to suck the air out. This type can be useful for packing in your suitcase for holidays to save space, as you don't actually need a vacuum cleaner to use them, but using your vacuum is somewhat easier and more efficient. The trouble is it's quite an art getting the nozzle out without letting air back in, thus defeating the object! The second type has a small pocket attached to the opposite end of the ...

Review of Vacuum Storage Bags

JML VacPac Vacuum Seal Storage Bags Why I bought them... A large quantity of bedding, clothes and other odds and ends that needed to be transported over two hundred miles from home to my narrowboat in readiness for my next cruise was causing me a real problem. Since retiring to enjoy my boat and freedom, my income has dwindled to nil and downsizing is the name of the game. My car has downsized too, now a little Ford KA, great for shopping but pretty ...
...up with the idea of Vacuum Storage Bags as a method of transporting my gear. What they do.... The idea is that you pack your items for storage in the plastic bag and then seal it with the aid of a little plastic gizmo which you run along the upper edge of the bag so pressing together the zipper type closure to make an airtight seal. This done you then insert the nozzle of your vacuum cleaner into the special one way valve and literally suck the ...

Review of Vacuum Storage Bags

...invest in some Space Saver Vacuum Bags, now widely available at most shops. Argos, Littlewoods, Lakeland Limited all sell these through their catalogue services, and not forgetting the place where they first appeared on our screens QVC. These bags are a miracle for people with not a lot of space or a large amount of clothes, summer duvets and odds and sods they want safely storing until they need to come out again. I purchased some of these through ...
...next step plug in the vacuum cleaner. If you have an up right vacuum you will need your hose for this part, take your vacuum attachment at place on the ring on the bag. Now switch on your vacuum and watch the magic before your eyes, the vacuum sucks out all the air that is contained in the bag and the clothes. The airtight seal is only then broken when you open the bag. I must admit you do get a little carried away and see how much you can vacuum, ...

Review of Vacuum Storage Bags

This is one of the best thing I have found in recent time... My husband bought it for us to pack all of our travelling clothes etc. and I have just fallen in love with the idea and the product. First of all its quite good size to accomodate clothes full of a suitecase. Then it saves you storage space. I have got just two of them now, but planning to buy more to sort out things at home which are not required in coming winter and then store them in ...

Review of Vacuum Storage Bags

...out of so I discovered vacuum seal bags! They are a wonderful invention! I have used two different types so far - one from Lakeland and one from La Redoute catalogue. I have to say that although I normally swear by Lakeland, the ones from La Redoute are better! They cost approximately £14 and you get two in a pack (they come in two different sizes). The beauty of these bags is that they also come with an outer bag which gives a bit more protection ...
...As the bags are vacuum sealed, everything inside is kept fresh, even when stored in a loft. The items inside do not attract damp or smell musty. The bags themselves are very easy to use. They look a bit like huge freezer bags with a disc in the middle of one side and have the type of seal that you can find on most supermarket bags of grated cheese! You just open the bag, put the items that you want inside and close the bag using the seal. Then simply ...

...the bag with any pipe vacuum cleaner and reduce the size of package to less than a quarter of the size. Brilliant for duvets and pillows i might add and to top it all off it keeps all those bugs away and when you do unpack them they smell as good as the day you washed them and put the items in there. Excellent I would rate these to anybody you can even use them for going abroad and storing your much loved items and reducing space which we all know ...

Review of Vacuum Storage Bags

These bags are great, easy to use and great space savers. I was a bit weary at first as everyone said how good they were, but really are truly great especially for large things like duvets and blankets which take up so much space to store. Also, handy for all those winter clothes over the summer period. Would recommend them, as takes such a short time to fill, reduce size. They are also hard wearing. ...

These vacuum storage bags are very handy to use, very easy, very convenient. It really saves space specially when you're trying to tidy up old clothes and duvets at home. Just put all the materials inside and vacuum the air out. It lasts for a very long time, because i've been using mine on and off for 5 years now. it is safe to use as long as you know your weight limit of carrying things. Very good value for money, bought mine from JML and Argos, ...
...have a bargain of that same price but with 1 medium bag free. It's good for sorting out winter clothes, spring clothes, summer clothes and duvets. One helpful tip wash the clothes and dry very well, then fold it. Put a perfumed sachet in the bag and it will smell good until you will be needing the clothes again. ...
