Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of ITW Space Bag BRS-6239 Vacuum-Seal Storage Bags, Combo Pack, Set of 3
Customer Review: great if you don't over stuff them
Summary: 4 Stars
4 stars = above average
Summary: Yes, they work if you carefully pack your items hence the above average rating. They're not 5-star (excellent) because I don't expect these bags to last forever. I paid $17 for a 5-pack and so far they've held up.
I haven't ripped any bags and so far I've bought two sets of 5-pack varieties (10 bags altogether). I've had one set for 2 years and none of them ripped or leaked air. I've reused the same bags. Just don't over stuff and be careful of the seams. Fold or roll your items before putting it into the bag and make sure it's organized before you seal and vacuum. You can put a fabric softener sheet in there if you don't want your stuff smelling like plastic when you reopen the bag later.
In an extra large bag, I can CAREFULLY fit 4 fluffy pillows. I only use these bags for fluffy items (puffy sweaters, down jackets, pillows, fuzzy blankets). I also managed to fit an entire comforter set in an extra large bag (comforter, 2 pillowcases, 2 shams, and one of those extra little bolster pillows).
I find these bags are pointless for denser/heavier fabrics (i.e. denim jeans, denim jackets, linens). You're better off using them for stuff that takes up more space than it should. Oh, you can shove all those stuffed animals into a bag and seal them too (make sure the noses are pointed inwards to avoid rubbing or ripping the plastic).
Customer Review: Cheap product. Falls apart after a couple of uses. Zip seal is very weak.
Summary: 1 Stars
We have had these space bags for a year. The zipper is cheap and does not seal well, the plastic on the vacuum nozzle comes off readily, and the plastic gets brittle and tears easily. Take it from a year of experience, this brand of vacuum bags has been nothing but bad news.Customer Review: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Space bags SUCK! We'll not really, I mean once you suck the air out with a vacuum, they will leak and not stay air tight. They are also cheaply constructed as they tend to tear near the zipper (cheap seal too!) and around the vacuum attachment. Don't waste your money on this!Customer Review: Space Bags
Summary: 1 Stars
I really needed these bags to work because I have a small house with little storage space. I was so excited when I got these and I used a large bag for a comforter that my husband refuses to give up.
At first, after I carefully folded and placed the conforter in the bag, sealed the bag and vacuumed the air out, we were amazed at how compact the comforter became! I read the reviews and noticed only a handful of positive reviewers that stated that the negative reviewers had not used the bags properly and I thought they were right because I had used mine properly and it worked!
Well, as soon as I picked the bag off of the ground, carefully, the seal was undone and the bag was full of air.
Excellent concept, but these bags do not work; at least they did not for me!
Customer Review: Great space saver!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love these bags. I live in NYC where the space is limited. I used it to store all my winter clothes and it worked perfectly! The best is that I can hide the bags under the bed and still have closet space available. I would recommend it, plus if something goes wrong it has a one year warranty as well. For the price, it's the best space saver ever.
