Guide Review - Space Bag - Laundry Product Review

I've seen the Original Space Bags on TV and in stores for many, many years. But I never had a need for them until I moved to a smaller home. Try as I might to rid myself of closets full of memories, I still have more than I should. But some of it is quilts made by my grandmothers and some of my children's baby clothes. Space Bags to the rescue.

I couldn't wait for shipping after buying them "as seen on TV" so I went to my local box retailer. I purchased the Storage Cube for the quilts and the Large Bag for the clothes. I put in my items following the packing guidelines. Zipped the bag and cube shut and attached my vacuum. Sucking the air out was fun as I watched the containers shrink to less than one half the original size.

I transferred the bags to a high shelf in my closet. It's been several weeks and they are still as airtight as day one. They are perfect for my storage needs.

Specific questions? Just ask here.

This product doesn't even deserve a star. I sealed up everything, and there was a tear already in the bag so it didn't stay sealed. I've tried out all the other bags in the box, and it appears to be sealed, but 2 or 3 days later, it looks like I just tossed the clothes and stuff in without even trying to vacuum the air out.
