Amazon Basics Vacuum Compression Zipper Storage Bags with Airtight Valve and Hand Pump, Medium, 5-Pack, Clear

I’m really happy with this vacuum compression bag from Amazon Basics. The quality feels solid and durable, and it performs just as advertised. I tested it with six full size bath towels (each 70x130 cm), and it compressed them down significantly, saving a lot of space. The seal is strong, and the vacuum valve works smoothly with a standard vacuum cleaner. Once sealed, there was no air leakage, even after a few days. It’s perfect for seasonal storage, travel, or just organizing extra linens. Overall, a great value for the price. If you need reliable storage solutions, this is definitely worth considering.

Use these for storing anything and everything in. They are super easy to use and really roomy. Great quality, good for traveling, good pump with it and had no problems with air leaking. Thankyou 🩷

Really useful, good quality

Very good bags, they really helped to neatly pack a size conditioned luggage. The hand pump is very handy and efficient. Very good item, at a very good price.

These bags are nicely made and even though Amazon calls them "basic" they are amongst the best I've used. They are being used for storage of household linens, so had ready access to a vacuum cleaner for the compression phase. Even when the contents were squished flat and the vacuum port sealed I noticed that after 48 hours the contents remained in the squished state. So they are pretty much leak resistant. Just to comment on two things, neither of which merit deduction of stars. First, I found the bags were quite slippery to hold when closing their "zips" but overcame this by wearing nitrile gloves! Second the included vaccum pump was, at least for me, a waste of space, and something I would have gladly traded a small price reduction to have that left out. I imagine that folks who use these to pack stuff in suitcases for travelling, might find the pump useful.

I bought these to store winter clothes, spare bedding, and a few bulky duvets — and I’m really happy with how well they work. The bags are thick and durable, and the zip seal is strong once you run the slider across it a couple of times to make sure it's properly shut. The hand pump included is decent if you're on the go or don’t have access to a vacuum cleaner, but I used my hoover and it compressed the bags down really quickly. Once sealed and compressed, the bags have stayed airtight for weeks — no re-inflation or slow leaks like I’ve had with other brands. Tips for buyers: Don’t overfill — leave enough room at the top to close it properly. Run the zipper tool back and forth to ensure a full seal. Store flat to prevent air pockets from forming. Really impressed for the price — great for freeing up space in the wardrobe or packing a suitcase more efficiently.

At first I was thrilled when these bags arrived as they are a decent thickness, were a great size and seemed to be great quality. Unfortunately, only one of these bags remains able to stay air tight, with the others covered in tape to seal holes and leaks that have developed. Not a great buy on this occasion

The bags were really great for what we wanted to store. Good size and easy to use. The pump didn’t work at all so just use hoover pipe for this instead.
