Tools and Hardware Reviews of ITW Space Bag BRS-59112 Vacuum-Seal Storage Bags, Extra Large, Set of 2
Customer Review: Lost in Space
Summary: 2 Stars
What a disappointment! I bought a number of these bags a little over a year ago, and was initially excited when first using them. I simply could not get over the fact that they seemed to work as advertised - bulky comforters, linens and extra pillows were shrunken into wafer-thin packages that I could easily slide under my bed.
This fall, my excitement turned to frustration when I reached under the bed to pull out the comforter and pillows only to find that the bags had re-inflated and were now stuck! Since I couldn't exactly fit a vacuum cleaner under the bed to RE-deflate them, I spent the next ten minutes lying on the floor, wrestling these bags from under the bed. To top it all off, I tore two of the three bags in the process!
This is a great concept, but it obviously has not yet been mastered. Save your money as Space Bags are really just a waste of space.
Customer Review: space bags suck
Summary: 1 Stars
Great in theory, dismal failure in execution. I tried these once before, the main problem is that they dont stay sealed, air escapes and they become nothing more than overpriced plastic bags. The luggage size, non-vacumn sealed rolled variety dont work at all. The vacumn sealed larger bag sizes arent much better. Of my previously purchased set, I have only one bag that survived my move sealed, flat and intact.
My new place has limited storage so I gave it another try. Now, its 1:22am, I've been fighting with a brand new pack for several hours. I have the floor littered with 6 large stuffed bags. I've tried re-vacumning and resealing and even duct taping - they plump right back up! I give up!!! Never again. Just use garbage bags. The only benefit is that you can see whats inside and that it is a thick, sturdy plastic bag.

ITW Space Bag BRS-59112 Vacuum-Seal Storage Bags, Extra Large, Set of 2I seldom rate products but this one is so bad I must let others know. Don't waste your money. You might as well pack your stuff in a garbage bag. Those who rate this product immediately after using it are doing a disservice to others. Take some time to see if it lasts. We used several and after 4 weeks (probably earlier but didn't check) the vacuum was gone and was totally expanded. Instead of being an inch thick, it was now a foot thick. We stored them under a bed and had trouble getting them out as once expanded they pushed up against the bed bottom.Customer Review: These worked better than I expected
Summary: 4 Stars
After reading many reviews saying these things didn't work, I was hesitant to buy them. But I was desperate to consolidate 3 large boxes of quilts and blankets that were stored in my basement, so I decided to give the Space Bags a try. I didn't have any trouble keeping the bags sealed at all. They've been sealed for over a month now with no leaks. I would recommend that after you seal the bag, you put your ear down to it to see if you can hear any air leaking. At first I heard air leaking out and realized I hadn't secured the zipper closure all the way across. After realizing that, these bags worked perfectly. Three huge boxes were condensed into 2 Space Bags in my basement.Customer Review: gross
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought space bags were great at first; but four months later they've completely lost their vacuum (I kept them sealed up inside a sturdy container, so there was no damage to the bag), and after emptying one of the bags, my clothes have an AWFUL smell. It's an incredibly gross plastic smell, and after four washes, it is still there. If this smell doesn't go away, then I can't wear these clothes anymore since it is such an offensive odor. Also while I was packing one bag it tore since the material is so thin. Space bags are a huge waste of money; so save your money for a nice Tupperware type container, because space bags are not durable, they lose vacuum, and they STINK!!
