Side by Side Comparison of: VonHaus vs Ziploc Space Bag

Worked great . Way better than those "as seen on tv" (Magic Bags they reinflate)......All bags had vaccum ports!! Stayed vacuum sealed for months now! I have bought these take now!

Worked great for packing dress shirts and suit for roll-on bag. With these bags, it's easy to pack a suit folded up for your carry-on bag. There are several YouTube videos that show how to pack suits and dress shirts for wrinkle-free travel using sturdy zip-lock bags. The key to avoiding wrinkles is to properly fold and then separately pack your special garments using these bags. I traveled to Europe without having to lug around a separate garment bag and was very pleased with the results

Had never purchased vacuum bags before so I wasn't sure how good they would really work. I was pleased with the quality and simplicity of the bags. Works great for what I needed. Would by again.

I have used both Zip-lock and Honey-can-do brand vacuum bags before buying these, but wanted to give these a shot due to their significantly lower price. Initially, out of the bag, I was a bit disappointed, as these bags are made of a thinner plastic than are the other brands. However, the vacuum mechanism is much more simply (and efficiently) designed on these, and it seems as if they form a much better seal and hold their compression much better than the other brand.I had a stack of memory foam pillows which the other brands were defeated by after only a few hours, but these bags are holding them at their compressed size after a full half a day. These bags are a bit harder to load, initially, because they do not have gusseted sides as the larger bags in some of the other brands do, but that also means fewer seams to leak air. It seems as if this choice has paid off in the long run, allowing both for a better seal and probably also for lower manufacturing costs, which is why these bags can be had so cheap.Do not be scared away by the low price here, as these bags do their job just as well as some of the more expensive brands.

I am so glad I purchased this. I had a whole box full of old uniforms that I didn't want to get rid of and didn't have the space for them. A couple of these bags easily fit them all and I was honestly surprised how compressed they became. I spent the rest of my evening finding clothes to jam into those bags and suck the air out so that I can slide them under my bed. I don't know if your vacuum has to be extra strong, I used a dyson and it took only a few seconds to completely compress the bags. I highly recommend this to anyone who needs to clear some closet space.

I'm a big camper but hate all the room my bedding takes up. I have always seen space saver bags but heard horror stories about them cracking. I decided I would give these a try since they were an okay price. They were very easy to use and I'm able to use them while camping. My air mattress pump works just fine on them. I was able to fit my king comforter, a fluffy blanket, fitted sheet, and 2 bath towels in one tote with room to spare. Don't know how long they last in terms of using and reusing but they do save space.

These are heavy duty, durable and work exactly as described. I used them to vacuum seal two brand new motorcycle tires to prevent any oxidation or degrading of the tires while in storage. A shop vac id d a great job removing the air and the seal is perfect. No leaks after 18 months in storage.

I love to use these bags to store my kids old clothes. Instead of having a million bins of baby clothes, I sorted out my favorite items and was able to use different sized bags for each age group. (0-3mo, 12-18mo, 2t etc...). The seal ice and tight and then I stack them in the storage closet (the sturdy packaging also protects agaisnt funny basement smells et ..) this is a true way to stay organized and save space!

I bought these bags because we are moving in a month and I wanted to start packing. I don't have the space to store tons of garbage bags full of comforters and other winter blankets. I have packed 2 queen sized comforters, 1 twin comforter, 2 full size pillows, 6 decorative pillows an 4 complete sets of bedding (sheets and pillow cases) into the 2 jumbo bags we purchased. Everything fit and I had no problems getting them closed. It's been about 2 weeks since I've sealed them and they have been moved from one room to another various times. They have had huge suitcases stacked on them (thanks to my boyfriend) and both of my corgis have run across and sniffed them multiple times. These bags are still as sealed and compact as the first day. I was so impressed I'm buying some of the smaller bags today to store all of our clothes.

Here in S TX, the overnight temps begin dropping below 60º around October. This prompts my wife to bring out the "oversize, overweight, super-thick Arctic comforter from Hell." By May the cavernous summer lair of the comforter has been filled, leaving it not only homeless, but dangerously blocking our hallway. My threats to relegate the comforter to our storage shed (where the wild things are) were met with similarly sinister threats. As I contemplated all-out storage wars, the Space Bag Jumbo came to the rescue. Now harmony reigns in my household as the giant comforter lurks (maliciously, no doubt) in a fourth the space it previously occupied.It was easy to stuff and easy to connect to the vacuum to deflate. It seems, after about two months, to be holding its vacuum seal nicely. Now I wonder if a Super-jumbo Space Bag could be used to remove the hot air from certain bombastic public figures?

Superb! This is the second time that I have purchase this product. Space bags are perfect for packing for a move, for a vacation or for storage. They are very strong and keep out odors that can sometimes occur when items are stored in a storage unit.

2 Large comforter blankets now slide under our bed which has about 1 inch clearance and that is just one bag.I am buying more of the smaller size for sure for our winter clothes!

I have the main brand one but needed more. I wasn't willing to buy a whole expensive kit, buy singles which added up to double the price or get a kit where the sizes aren't what I needed. This seem to have a good balance of sizes for storing my son's outgrown clothes and such.Pros:- just as tough as the ziplocs and another major (can't think of the name now)- same idea and basic design- decent gauge of material- zipper design was smoother and better closing than the major brandsCons:- smaller bags do not have a valve, you have to vacuum best as you can and zip it up quickly- material is slightly thinner than major brand...good or bad depending. Good for better flexibility, not as clumsy but bad if you plan on dishing out some punishment on itOverall, I'd buy it again for the price.

These bags are great!! I had two large rubbermaid totes filled with a thick comforter, a sleeping back, plus a bunch of clothes. Using 5 of these bags, I was able to reduce the one tote to 1/3rd capacity... Now that might not seep like a whole lot, but keep in mind I had multiple bags filled with only jeans and folded sheets, which don't compress nearly as much as comforters, sleeping bags, jackets, etc. Another thing I like about these bags is they give you a bunch of plastic attachments that act like a zipper when closing the double seal zip-lock top. When I finally realized what they were for (no instructions included), they became extremely handy.NOTE: the medium sized bags DO NOT have a valve to hook up a vacuum to. These are supposed to be roll-up ones meant for going on vacation I suspect. I couldn't get a decent pack with only rolling it up, though it was still better than packing without any bag at all. What I did was stuck the skinny nozzle on the vacuum, shoved it down to the bottom of the bag, turned on the vacuum and slowly removed the nozzle. Then at the very end I quickly removed the nozzle, and closed the bag. That worked surprisingly decent.

These worked great. I got multiple bins of clothes into 1 large bag. I got 2 comforters in a medium sized bag. This item is better then other "spacebag" products I've used in the past as the seal is stronger.

Used these to pack for a trip packed about a week in advance with no trouble out of the bags. One of our bags has been sealed for 2.5 weeks at this point and there is still no leaks. Good product for the money

Pros: works with any vacuum, durable and they didn't break during several road trips, works as advertised (condenses things to roughly 1/5 of the size).Cons: Doesn't hold seal through somewhat rigorous handling. The smallest bags do not have the one way vent and are only sealed manually, which I felt was somewhat misleading.Overall: These got the job done for me for my cross country move. I packed up all of my winter stuff and it saved a ton of space in the trunk of my car. A couple of them lost the seal when I was packing and moving them, and I had to re-vacuum them. They are very durable and feel much stronger than the average plastic bag. I liked them, but they didn't exceed my expectations.

I bought these bags a few months ago & began my storage mission. They were easy to fill & worked well with my vacuum. I was surprised at how well the whole process went. It's been a few months & they are still air tight. Plan to order more.

I really didn't think these would work, but my mom wanted them, so I ordered them. She was able to stuff a HUGE comforter in one bag, and I was amazed at how small the bag became once all of the air was sucked out. These are really great for storage. My only complaint is that one of the white zippers fell off when we took it out of the box. We were still able to seal the bag by pressing on the seal with our fingers, like an old school zip lock bag.

Great product, great size, can fit multiple blankets and sheets plus 6 pillows in one! Bought several of these jumbo sized space bags for moving/storage. One star not given because of space bags inherent fragility- these bags have always and will always tear EXTREMELY easily. Their job is to vacuum seal and protect items inside but they DO NOT LIKE TO BE touched, drug, picked up, slid, tossed, thrown, or even carried when full. It's devastating when they tear just during normal filling or when carefully picking one up and placing it carefully in its place. It is more likely to occur but will occur without over-filling the bag.

This thing is HUGE! make sure you check the dimensions before you order. It fits about 2 winter comforters easily and 4 if you try hard enough. I ordered 2 of these and one of the bag is leaking already. Other than that, it saves ridiculous amount of space in my closet. It's a must have.

These bags are HUGE. I'm 5'8" and could probably comfortable curl myself up in one of these. If I had any complaints, it would be that they're TOO big and I struggled to fill it completely. It was also super heavy because of how much stuff I was able to cram in there.But yes, it's a space bag. It's nice and thick. It isn't smelly/chemically. The seal is quite good. And it's cheap! It's holding my ENTIRE winter wardrobe RIGHT NOW! This includes but is not limited to:3 puffy jackets - 1 that is ankle length (again, 5'8"!)20 sweaters20 pairs of leggingsa bunch of long sleeve shirtsa bunch of wool skirtslike 1000 scarves, gloves, and hatswool socks galore...AND MORE!We're talking like 40 pounds of stuff!It also took quite a beating as I struggled up a chair to put it in the overhead storage space we have. Durable!It was also easy to close and had that blue + pink = purple strip.

Great for sealing out dust and decreasing the amount of space that bulky items like bedding might otherwise consume, BUT 3 out of 4 bags did not hold the vacuum seal (see review picture). I suspect this may be partly due the slider not fully sealing the bag. It's best to hand press the entire seal bar after you zip it shut to ensure it's fully sealed, because the slider does not do the job.The other suspect vacuum seal leak is the cap, perhaps? I read other reviews about the bags tearing easily, so I was especially cautious and am quite certain none of the bags were torn in the loading process.Still, I like this product for the reason stated in the first sentence above. Will I purchase this product again? Sure, if I want to protect what I pack from dust and enable storage stacking, but if it's for vacuum sealing -- doubtful.

This bag works pretty well, just make sure you keep your bedding or whatever, behind the line that indicates how full you can make it, otherwise it will inflate later. They really do constricted down to a nice, workable size. I put two thin comforters, 4 shams and 5 throw pillow in it and so far so good. I would recommend this product. Just be aware that they can tear easily if not careful.

Used these to pack away baby clothes for a while.I went to open them up again for our incoming twins and many items are somehow stained. I really don't understand how see as they were clean going in, the bags were sealed, and nothing was in there that could have done this.

it kinda save some space for more stuff in your bag however it makes things Heavier which might cost you a little bit of fees travelling

Don't expect to use any of these twice. The pack got us through one long car trip

Some of the bags would not hold air tight. Leaking.Others ok, not that great for space saver bag. Prefer name brand.

I was initially overwhelmed by how awesome these work. For the most part my results have been good however one of the bags split open. Perhaps I put too much in the bag but I still wouldn't expect that to occur. The white tabs used to close the bag have a tendency to slip off. For the price they work.

I bought these for moving/storage. The ones that worked worked well enough but I had a couple of bags re-inflate almost immediately and I had one rip just from handling. Out of the set, I think I had 3 that were unusable within a day (not counting the travel sized ones).

Lost their air tight seal after 2 weeks. Held nicely prior to that. Bags still keep my clothing/bedding fresh and clean so I gave it 3 stars instead of 1.

They work ok however they are extremely thin and Tear if you look at them sideways. If you are very careful with them, they work fine, however its annoying to have to worry about them this much.

I've never used another brand of space bags, FYI. We move every 3 months, so these do get thrown around a bit.Ripped in spots soon into using them, which kind of defeats the purpose. The zip part isn't the easiest to use either. And, regardless of brand I imagine, things easily get a smell to them after being in the bag for a while.Overall nothing else would work so well for our needs so I'd likely buy again.

Received the two pack and loaded both with the recommended amount of contents, being sure not to over-pack. Within a day or so of removing the air from both bags, one remained flat, but the other expanded back to full size. I re-sealed the bag thinking I maybe had a leak in the zipper side and removed the air once more. The next day, same result. A year later, the second bag was still flat, but did have some extra air inside which I don't see as too much of an issue. I'd be happier if you got two working bags in a package of two instead of one for the price of two. I think quality control might be the problem.

I love these big space bags, but they leak so easily! I had one start leaking and get stuck under my bed (I figured maybe the cat had accidentally caught it with a claw while playing under there), so I bought some more. I put my big fluffy comforter in, sealed it up, vacuumed the air out, and it was ready to store. I reached up to put it on a shelf and I guess it must have caught on something even though there was nothing sharp up there because air immediately started flooding in. I was able to find the hole and sort of fix it with some tape, but I hate that it was pretty much ruined as soon as I used it. The other one from the same box is holding up just fine, but I've been super-careful with it, which isn't really practical when you want to store things.

Bags definitely are a bit fragile. After 1-3 times of filling and using them they will develop leaks and not stay vacuum packed. I dont mind too much as my main concern is to keep my items dry and clean from dust and dirt which happens whether they are vacuum sealed or not. I will say that its incredible how vacuum sealing keeps things smelling fresh. I wish these were a bit more durable to remained vacuumed...

Despite the good price for 12 bags, I am disappointed by the air-tightness of these bags. Air entered the bag 15 minutes after I sucked the air out with a vacuum. My reason for buying these vacuum bags is because I want to reduce the size of clothes storage as much as possible with the help of the vacuum, and I expect to get an air-tight bag after using the vacuum. These bags fail to do so, and they are pretty much the same as me sitting on them and squeezing the air out physically. If you just want some sturdy storage bag, these would be good if you are not picky on getting all the air out.

The pump was crap and useless

These were subpar. Bought this with the suggested pump, "Boli Plastic Compressed Vacuum Space Hand Air Deflation Double- Barrelled Pump," and the pump didn't fit at all. I had to try to squeeze the air out of them as I didn't have a vacuum with me. would not order these again. I'll stick to the ziploc brand from here on out.

The bags with thee vacuum seal work exactly as advertised. However, over half the bags were made without a place to seal and are basically garbage.

It's a good purchase. The largest size bag had enough room for my spare comforter and two blankets. I'll be able to store and preserve clothes in my apartment, where space is at a premium. My quibble at the moment is the set of 12 is actually 11, I received what appears to be various smaller sizes within the "5x 24 x 20" portion, and three of those do not have seal to attach the vacuum to (effectively making them just a bag and not a vacuum storage bag.) I received 2 24 x 20, 2 24 x 15 (non vacuum), and 1 15x12 (also non vacuum). The bags I do have so far work well, as intended. Feel like what I did get was not quite what was advertised.

I really want to like them.They "look" like in high quality, but are very fragile. Some of them broke the first time I used them. This never happened to other brands I purchased previously. Probably I was not lucky and got defective products, but definitely will not purchase again and recommend to anyone.

Really didn't realize just how large these are. I can't find anything to put in them!

After a while the air seeps back into the bag, infl acting it thus making it hard to get to your items after you've placed them into narrow spots like under your bed or in a closet. Sour bummed they haven't mastered this yet. The same thing used to happen when I was 15...round 15 years ago. Now I bought these in April, it is October, I went to retrieve my items only to find I had to suck the air back out in order to get the bag from under my bed... 6 months is about how long these things hold I guess...

First, the bags are ENORMOUS. I wanted these for baby clothes storage and did not visualize the dimensions well. yes, that's my fault. But, more troubling, was that the one bag i took out of the package and tried to use did not hold a vacuum seal. I didn't bother trying the other and returned them. I bought a different brand that offered about 10 bags for the same price.

I bought t this product twice. In total I received four bags of which 2 of them self re-inflated repeatedly. After repeated attempts checking the bags and making sure we were following the instructions properly, the problem still persisted. The other two bags worked great and as advertised tho. All in all, there is a 50:50 chance this product will/won't work. Given the cost, the fact that I was packing to travel in a couple days and was unable to pack all my clothes because of this issue, I was very unhappy with this defective product.

Kept its seal for about two weeks. Last night when I tried to pull the bag out from under my bed to get something out of it it was full of air and stuck under the bed because it no longer fit. It took a while to get it out because the bag is so big. I'm going to try to reseal it this weekend. We'll see how it goes.

I got these to pack pillows and blankets in to move . although I purchased them a while go, I just started packing 09/10/15 andone of the bags won't seal and allows air back in overnight. So I basically only got one bag for the price of two and can't return or exchange them. Not happy

They do not hold air in and after vacuuming out the air it will slowly sneak back in.

Spend a lot of time for my moving packaging. Then find out 3 bags missing vacuum head attachment. Very disappointed.

The concept sounded great but the bags aren't airtight and they leak. Slow leaks but within 24 hours, the air is back in the bag. Maybe the bags I received were defective???

Be warned! the small bags are not designed as vacuum bags. They are just bags that have a zip loc top on them. In no way are they for vacuum sealing. Either they were manufactured incorrectly or the seller forgot or does not know that the small bags are not for vacuum sealing.

The largest bag was used only 3 times before it developed a hole and now it won't stay sealed. It was never put under any excessive stress or trauma.

The bags all re-inflated within 48 hours after packing them up and vacuuming them, don't recommend at all.

The suction doesn't hold. The bag will shrink while I'm vacuuming it, but then a few minutes later, the bag is puffed up again. This isn't an issue of overfilling or improperly closing the bag - it just doesn't stay sealed.

The Ziplock spacebar served its purpose for only a short period of time. I vacuumed all the air out of the bag full of clothes I had no use for, for the season. I was more than happy with the results. What I didn't expect was that the air would come out. I put the bag under the bed in its shriink form. Two weeks later I went to take the bag from under the bed only to find the air had come out. I immediately got the vacuum cleaner to suck the air out again in only a few minutes the air had come out again.

The jumbo size ones just do not work. They leak. The large size and all the rest work just fine. I think the jumbo ones must spring leaks because the zipper part probably moves or gets bent. I have bought and rebought the big ones, but I just cannot get them to work. Darn!

The bag does not stay deflated and yes I've made sure it's zipped and no there aren't any holes. The bag is totaly inflated within 5-6 hours. I'm frustrated because i told others about the bags and i had to go back and recant. Unhappy, Brenda Fells

These were great for about 12 hours, then they filled with air. I followed the instructions, made sure it wasn't over stuffed and nothing was beyond the line indicated, used my vacuum to suck all the air out, it was great, put these 2 bags in the closet, hours later they had started inflating again..didn't exactly save me any space. Returning, maybe replacing them to try again, I guess it's possible that 50% of their bags work and the rest fail, based on all the 5 star reviews.

The bags accommodated the items well. After 3 days they leaked all of the air out. One actually had a large hole in it and the others just leaked. Will not purchase any more or recommend this item.
