Vacuum Storage Bags

Having recently had a baby I have come to realise that they grow out of things pretty quickly! Hopefully we plan to have more children so I didnt really want to dispose of the clothes that he had grown 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 ... more

I love this idea, whoever thought this up is a genius. A lot of families have storage problems my main pain in the backside is lack of room for excess bedding that i keep spare for guests and what not, So this is magnificent, how the air can be sucked out of 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 ... more

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, for £9.99 for 2 large bags. Sometimes they do have a bargain of that same price but with 1 medium bag free. It's good for sorting out winter clothes ... more

I had so much 'stuff' lying around in cupboards none of which were very tidy. Sadly I hadn't used much of the aforementioned for ages but wanted to keep most of it. The bags have now decreased the amount of space taken up by more that half and all my cupboards are now tidy. I have stored towels, bedding, pillows and cushions in the bags, all freshly washed before hand. I took out some extra pillow cases for guests a few weeks ago and they were still as fresh as when I had put them in. I had no issues inflating/deflating the bags, although I would say that over time they do start to deflate ... more

I have bought some vacuum storage bags from Argos and JML and they have all dissapointed me as they have all split or stopped workinging, i felt let down as you only discover this after you get them out of the loft after a year or so and then discover i am cannot return them as the year guarentee has expired. However i have bought some really good ones from www.storagesolutionsonline.co.uk they seem to be very good quality, no splitting so far and they have a great range of products from stackable vacuum chests to underbed storage to travel vacuum bags. so the reason i am writing this is i see ... more
