    Advantages Advantages Helps to de clutter, keeps clothes fresh

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Fastening could be better designed

    A NEED TO DE-CLUTTERWhen my son and his girlfriend finished their student days and came to live with us in the family home, they found they had accumulated lots of belongings in their studio flat. My home couldn't possibly store everything whilst they lived at home. My son's girlfriend's parents agreed to store much of their belongings. In the lead up to the move my son assured me that they had greatly reduced their possessions by buying and using vacuum storage bags. I hadn't heard of these until this time and didn't really see how they could minimise things that much. But my son told me they ... more

    5 Stars What a Sucker!! 30/10/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Gives you loads of extra space, clear so you can see the contents inside

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None at all

    We are in the process of going through our annual ‘spring clean’ thing in our house. Yes, I know it’s almost November, and a bit late in the day but mum’s been really poorly these past few months and dad said he’ll give the upstairs a fresh lick of paint (and sort out all his DIY projects he’s been putting off for the past few years) to try to cheer her up and get ready for Christmas. My brother and me have both been helping dad to clear out all of the wardrobes and bedroom cupboards and drawers and sort out what we want to keep and what we are going to give to charity. It became apparent very ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages take up less room

    Disadvantages Disadvantages depends which make you buy!

    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 make these vacum bags I got very excited and ordered 3 packs. Betterware bags ****************** Each pack has 3 bags in it 1 large (55 x 85 cm) ... more

    4 Stars Great idea....in theory 20/05/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages reasonable price, brilliant idea, easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages don't work if you don't get the right type, only available in a few stores

    I'm a sucker for new inventions - especially ones that seem such a good idea as these. In fact my husband often hides those "new inventions" magazines that frequently pop through the letter box. However, even he had to agree that these seemed like a perfect storage solution for all those bits and pieces in the house that take up room but you just can't throw away. So, what are they? ------------------------- The basic outline is simple - the storage bags are a set of differently sized bags which you can fill with a variety of items e.g. bedlinen, duvets and pillows for spare beds (especially ... more

    Advantages Advantages Very handy, maximises storage space

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You get what you pay for - cheaper ones develop leaks

    I first stumbled upon vacuum bags a good few years ago now, while looking for storage solutions that would work in our tiny rented cottage (I wouldn't stop buying clothes you see). I actually bought my first few on eBay, and they were unbranded. I later got some JML ones, which have lasted a lot better. The idea behind these is simply to remove all the air, compressing whatever you have chosen to store inside. You can see a lot of dramatic before and after pictures concerning these bags but the truth of it is, these do actually work! You just pack these plastic bags full of clothing, bedding ... more
