VMSTR Travel Vacuum Storage Bags with USB Electric Pump, Medium Small Space Saver Bags for Travel (White travel pump+ 8 travel bags)

Product Information

Frequent travelers will find these to be the best vacuum storage bags, in part because the set of 10 bags comes with a hand pump for easy use while you’re on the go. We tested out the small bags, and the set contains eight more in four additional sizes, including a travel-friendly roll-up style, a feature Vig recommends. We were able to fit two towels in the small bag, although it was a bit of a struggle and our testers resorted to stuffing the towels in versus folding them neatly. In terms of the type of items you’re storing, you’ll want to consider how the material might interact with the bags. Vig explains, “Some types of materials store better in containers/bags that can breathe—like natural fabrics (think cashmere). I would prefer to use linen boxes to store those types of items than plastic airtight bags or bins.” Moore agrees, adding, “Different fabrics may react differently to being stored without air circulation and ventilation. Damage could occur to certain fabrics if they were not intended to be stored in this manner.” Like other models of FLEXTAILGEAR, it also comes with the option of five nozzles. You can use it for almost all the inflatable air products like- air beds, mattresses, toys, sofa, swimming rings, vacuum storage bags, pool floats, and what not! The mechanism is also easy with a button enabling system. It also offers firing capacity with an air blow function that helps a lot in outdoor adventure.

We did struggle a bit to insert two bath towels into one of the small-sized bags, but ultimately we got them to fit. We needed to use our fingers (along with the included clip) to seal everything up. Ultimately, we were satisfied with how condensed they were once air was removed via shop vac. We also tried out the included pump and found it to be efficient, too.But, overall, these felt like very small notes on an otherwise impressive set that performed well, and proved to be a great value. We could see it working well for frequent travelers, people with upcoming moves, and anyone who has long-term and seasonal storage needs. The amount of time your bags will stay suctioned depends on a few different factors. How well is the bag made — are the valve edges and bag seams tight? Where are you storing your suctioned bag? Is it folded in storage or lying flat? Yes, some of us on the editorial team have used vacuum bags specifically for travel, including myself. For the following locations next day delivery may take up to two working days: Aberdeen (AB 30-35, 41-54), Northern Highlands (AB 36-38, 55-56), FK (17-21), HS (1-8), IV (All), KW (0-14), PH (15-32, 34-48), Eire (Republic of Ireland) (EI (ZZ75) (All)), Glasgow (G 83), Guernsey (GY 9), Oban (HS 9, KA 28, PA 20-99, PH 33, 49-99), Isle of Man (IM (All)), Arran (KA 27), Orkney Shetland (KW 15-99, ZE (All)) and Cornwall (TR 21-25). These perform slightly better with the hand pump, so you may want to skip sealing with a wet/dry vacuum.

According to VAGO, it can reduce the size of your soft items by up to 50% so it can make way for a lot of extra space in your luggage. Vacuum sealing the bags with a wet/dry vac allowed us to fit all five sheet sets in the bag while the hand pump only allowed for three sheet sets. We found the sealing process for both options to be quite simple and straightforward, with both the vacuum nozzle and the hand pump fitting easily into the bag’s valve. Sealing with the wet/dry vacuum took only 18 seconds, while the hand pump seal took a full minute—something to note if you’re in a time crunch. Both sealed bags fit nicely in the 12-inch storage space under a queen bed and on a shelf meant for cube storage. If you are a frequent traveler, then you will often need a vacuum pump. It has to be sturdy and durable to fit your requirements. Pumps made of ABS material are strong, durable, and long-lasting. Size and Weight Here I come with another popular electric air pump model from Dr.Meter that gained a large amount of user satisfaction over the years. Dr.Meter made this pump travel-friendly pump keeping in mind the necessities of their customers. This super lightweight portable air pump comes with a strong battery that helps to function well and inflate or deflate within a very short time. The zipper on these bags is secure, to ensure no air gets out, and the double color design on the zipper lets you easily see that it is properly closed. They also peel apart without problems, as they have a higher and lower side on the zipper for easy handling.One of the latest air pump models of FLEXTAILGEAR is this Max Pump 2020. It has gained immense popularity after launching. This model provides more flexibility and options to the users. I will highly recommend this one for its usability. This item can easily be your go-to-go travel vacuum pump model to take with you on any outing. Space Saver bags are handy for maximizing your travel space in your suitcase, or for organizing your closet at home. You can get these bags in a variety of sizes to suit your needs, to store away your duvet, bed sheets, and towels, or maybe even shift between a fall/winter and spring/summer wardrobe. This vacuum pump comes as a handy instrument in both indoor and outdoor. The air and vacuum pump with lantern are so compact that you can take it anywhere outside without much hassle. Weighing only 2.8 ounces, it is super lightweight.

For optimal suction staying power, you’ll want to store your bags flat and in a place that doesn’t experience extreme temperatures. By folding the bags you will wear out their seams faster, causing air leaks. Temperature extremes can also cause changes in air pressure within the bags. The price feels a bit high when you consider that the bags are all the same size, which doesn’t provide much variety.The vacuum bags come in sizes small, medium and large. Mine is a medium but I think you’d really notice a massive difference if you used a large, or even two smalls. These Hibag air tight bags are a terrific budget option for travel. Each set contains 6 medium size & 6 large size reusable storage bags. The people who don’t iron many things and will just ‘shake out the creases’ unless it’s something special– You, my friends, will probably struggle the most. One traveler explains, “I bought these mostly for travel since the price of carrying luggage has increased. I used the three travel bags and fit quite a bit of clothes in a 19” carry-on.”

If you prefer to just have the travel option—this brand also sells a set of 12 travel roll-up bags too.For me, I avoid ironing at all costs (well if I’m really being honest – Sam does my ironing) so I would consider it an extra hassle and I probably wouldn’t use it unless I had to. If I was really struggling for space then I would 100% use the compressor but otherwise I’d just try and squeeze everything into my hand luggage and hope I folded everything neatly enough to avoid creases. I really like the weight of the bags, sturdy not flimsy, and they are a good size. I also like that the USB cord on the pump is a decent length.”
