VMstr Travel Vacuum Storage Bags with Electric Pump (USB Pump + 8 Combo Bags)

Purchased these for an upcoming trip to Australia and New Zealand to maximize space. Tested two of them out. They both held the seal for over 24 hours! Probably would have lasted longer, but I broke the seal. Very happy with the results! I only wish there was a bag that was smaller than the smallest one in the set (9 bags: 3-23x15, 3-19.5x15, 3 -15x15...approximate measures (in inches), might be 15.5, but that includes the zipper space) - a 9x9 or two would be nice for undergarments! They seem very durable and should survive a long trip.The vacuum pump worked great and it's compact for travel (4x1.5 in). It has both USB and Type C charger adapters, super convenient!Excited to put these to use!

A group of friends and I planned a 15 day trek through Italy. So we were determined to travel VERY light. We each had a regular carry-on luggage and a 21qt. Backpack. My boyfriend ordered a a set and I ordered a set. We each took a lot of clothes. Like 20 outfits I think. We were impressed! We mainly used the medium and small bags. The large was too wide for the carry-on. But they were enough! We used to roll up our clothes and with these bags the idea is the opposite. You want the clothing as flat as possible. You will definitely need to make time to use them I think it took us around an hour each time because you have to be somewhat strategic about how many items and what they are. Definitely used our body weight to help flatten and found it easier to pack and squeeze down on the floor. The least amount of folds the better off you are! The little machine was ideal. Compact, not too loud, easy to use. We packed and unpacked almost every other day so we got the hang of it after the first couple of times. I hope it lasts a few more times but for our 15 day trek they were perfect. Life savers actually. I can’t imagine dragging a bigger suitcase than a carry-on. Perfect solution for that.

UPDATE: while I was a bit disappointed in the suction of the travel vacuum and say so below, the fulfilling company’s Customer Service was amazing so I am upgrading my review a bit. Left the below review and out if the blue, received an email from the company offering to correct the issue. Offered a full refund due to my concerns. Wonderful follow up from the seller, would recommend them in a heart beat!Original review: Bought this for work travel - I am always on shorter stints wherein I want to use the overhead sized bag so I don't have to check my bag - thought this might work great for the colder months when I struggle getting 3 days worth of clothes in my bag due to the bulky winter items. This product travels well, small size on it's own so easy to include in my bag without making the situation worse. The vacuum bags also seem to close well and hold their seal. However, the suction leaves a LOT to be desired. At home, when packing, I can use the vacuum to really tamp the size down. But, once in the hotel, the suction machine is not very powerful so unfortunately I don't get the same results. And takes awhile just to get it down to what I can seem to pull off using the little vacuum. Disappointed in that but I kept it, does something to give me space at least.

I bought these a couple years ago, and the 8 combo pack was the same as the first picture: 4 sizes, all pretty small, and they were PERFECT. I love that I can get them in a backpack, that they're a great size for one outfit per bag.I wanted a few more, so I went back to my orders, clicked on my previous purchase, and because the first picture still shows the 4 different sizes, I bought it.Nope. Turns out (and subsequently pictures and descriptions show this) that there's only 3 sizes and they're much bigger. One outfit isn't enough to fill the bag, they're too wide for my backpack, and they aren't at all what I needed.I get that products change. But having accurate pictures would be helpful, especially for those of us buying again.I guess I'm off to search for a different brand with smaller bags.

Sturdy, perfect thickness, good storage space and no weird plastic/ factory smell, my clothes smell like fresh laundry as they should! I travel 3-4 times per month on an airplane. Used them once and a few bags and the vacuum were not working properly so I got replacements immediately from the company and they all seem to work fine. I pre pack and allow them to be in my bag a few days prior to see how well the seals hold up and so far so good. The key is not to over stuff/pack them and push mush of the air out prior to vacuuming it closed. The travel vacuum is really great as well, great suction power. I definitely give this system a 4.5 out of 5.

I bought this package in preparation for my upcoming vacation. I put on a little weight, so my clothes take up more space and I was finding my suitcase really stuffed. I decided to give this a try to compress the clothing. It comes with a portable USB pump to suction out the air. You remove the valve cover to attach the pump. After the pump sucks all the air out of the valve, the air is not let back in, you simply put the cap back on and that's it. Simple, push-button operation. Will definitely purchase more bags . This is a nice way to store off season clothing as well to keep them dust and dirt free. Great product. It also comes with a 2-year warranty.

I bought this for a 2-week trip in which I had to carry on. I thought this would be the perfect solution to being able to get all my clothing in to a small bag. I packed a night in advance and I thought the product was absolute genius. Unfortunately when I woke up the next AM, I looked at the bags and every single one had lost it's super-compressed, vacuum seal. Major disappointment - the product does not work as stated. The bagged clothes were still smaller than they otherwise would have been but much larger than they were when I initially used the pump to suck the air out. Yes, the bags were sealed tightly with the provided "sealing clips" and yes, I replaced the cap on the bags per the instructions. Try a different brand, maybe you'll have better luck.
