Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honey-Can-Do VAC-01299 Extra Large Storage Vacuum-Packs, 2-Pack
Customer Review: Don't last
Summary: 1 Stars
The bags are not very sturdy and get holes easily. I have a very small apartment and limited storage so I thought these were a great find. I bought medium, large and extra large sizes. One bag ripped while I was putting a blanket in it, right up by the "zipper". Frustrating, but I assumed I had been careless and was more careful with the others. In the next one I put the blanket and in a medium, sweaters. After vacuuming out all the air one was stored in a plastic tote, the other on top of a shelf in a storage room. Both leaked air and had gone back to full size within a day or two so they must have gotten holes while I was putting things in them. I do not have long nails, I was careful and I know there was nothing in the storage areas to have done this, because I checked. These were a waste of money.Customer Review: Extra Large bags do not hold the seal, but smaller bags do.
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought varying sizes of this brand of vacuum bags. The Small-Large held the seal, but none of the Extra large bags worked. I packed them lightly. One blanket/bedspread/rug in each Extra Large bag and the Extra Large bags were taking in air the next day. I even tried changing the items to different, brand new Extra Large bags to see if it was just a fluke with the bad bags, but sadly, that was not the case. None of the Extra Large bags worked. All of my smaller bags worked great though and are still sealed and flat (since September 2010). I would say if you need to pack smaller things (clothing, sheets, sweaters, etc...), try the smaller Honey-Can Do bags, but forget the Extra Large bags. This brand's smaller bags do work better than the "Seen On TV" bags......those are pure garbage.Customer Review: Too bad they don't work
Summary: 1 Stars
When I got these I was excited. I had ordered four, and was using them to move from Los Angeles CA to Toronto Canada. I put a ton of stuff in them, and watched in amazement as the bags shrunk to almost 1/3 the size of the original bag!This was great, it allowed me to put so many more clothes in such a small space. I packed up and had extra room to spare.
The bad part was, the compression didn't last. When unpacking, three out of my four bags had re-inflated with air. One is still sealed tight. If all the bags worked like that one, I'd give this five stars. Unfortunately, three of my bags will only keep the air out for a day or two. We'll see if Amazon makes this bad purchase right.
Customer Review: Very handy, but I feel could be better designed...
Summary: 3 Stars
I do think this things are handy, but it's a lot more time consuming to get the things sealed correctly. I had to call customer service--one of the bags had a hole in it--and the customer service was 5 stars. Really nice and sent me out a replacement right away. In hindsight I wish I had gotten the smaller bags. The large ones, even compacted, are too big for me to store easily, and I found you have to fill them up to the line, or they don't deflate properly.Customer Review: Space Bag
Summary: 2 Stars
Thank you for asking. I appreciate your customer concern. Unfortunately one of the large bags did not close properly. Therefore it would not hold the items secure. But you know life, sometimes we just accept things so I did not write to tell you before this. I just put the coat in and accepted that it was just a plastic bag. I Know that it is not your probem, but unfortunately, you asked. Thank you for caring. Kathleen
