Question: Does this set come with the vacuum or is it just the bags? OKAY just the bags, got it.
Document: I was hesitant before I bought these bags due to some of the reviews indicating that the bags were not strong enough and had holes. I used all but three of the bags in the 14 bag set; all of them worked as they should, and so far have held their vacuum (~3 weeks). Some customer reviews complained that they weren't getting the nice rectangular shaped packages as advertised - maybe they should read the directions that come out of the box.
The bags seem like a great price, and we've all seen them on TV, but these simply don't perform. 2 of the 14 bags came with microscopic holes that we could hear hissing after we vacuumed out the air. They were totally useless and included the only Jumbo bag in the set. The third one we tried ripped at the zipper because they come with the cheapest plastic zipper in history.
We bought a very large set of these bags in several sizes when our son's clothes he'd outgrown were taking over our closets. At first we were in love - we fit TONS of his clothes (and our off-season clothes too) into just a few of the bags. Then we sold our house. Only one or two of the bags made it through the move intact. We had most of them in boxes/tubs as suggested but they still got punctures or tears very easily.
Granted, I only found one bag that had a hole right out of the box, but the material of the bag really isn't very durable. I had these in the back of my SUV when moving, not next to anything particularly sharp, and by the time I got home and unloaded them, most of the bags had giant tears in them. I'm glad I have many replacements, getting this large set of bags, but I have a feeling they won't be much more durable.
I used the Space Bad 14 Bag Space Saver Set to pack my clothing, linens, bed clothes and sewing fabrics when I rented a moving pod to move my belongings from Indiana to Colorado. They worked wonderfully, compacting to very flat bags and cubes and fitted into spaces that boxes would never have fitted into. Everything got there in good shape and the bags were still flat with no holes or tears.
I ordered this because all my quilts and comforters and bedding stuff are just taking way too much of my storage space. I got this set because I needed a bunch and I didn't really know what sizes I needed. I loved it at first but now I am a bit disappointed. Out of all the bags I've used (which is most of them) so far 2 have lost suction rather quickly, both cubes & a large bag. I had them stored away and when I looked they were not flat anymore.
Got these to store stuffed animals and various other blankets/clothes. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they worked. The jumbo bags hold a shocking amount of stuff. I had a 55 gallon Rubbermaid container of stuffed animals as well as a queen comforter bag full of them. One jumbo space bag held all of them plus a few others and compressed it into a cube a little smaller than the queen comforter bag! This set of bags is enough to compress an overwhelming amount of stuff.
I have purchased these bags previously. We have a beach house with little storage space so I like to put away winter clothes ( we come here all year around) when warm weather arrives. When they work, the bags are terrific! My only problem is that they sometimes loose the vacuum. More importantly, I cant always re-use the bags and the zippers tend to break off and wont go back on - at least not that I can make them go on!
I've been using Space Bags since 2001, I'd say. They've definitely improved the product over the years, especially the seals, which used to leak like sieves constantly, but it's still hit-or-miss with this product. I find that I can spend 20 minutes making sure the bag seal is secure and vacuuming all the air out only to come back a week later and find the bag with a lot of air inside and no longer vacuum-sealed.
Does the job and vacuum seals well but don't expect it to come out nice and flat (or square for cubes) like the commercial. It does save me some closet room!
Answer: bags only. you use any vacuum with a hose.
