20 Compression Comforters Blankets Included Reviews Summary

Valve and Pump Functionality

Pros:

• "These Cozy Essentials Vacuum Storage bags have a valve with a screw on cap."
• "The bags with the actual vacuum port work great."
• "The pump is quick and easy to operate -- no batteries required :)"
• "After removing the pump from the valve the valve did not let air back into the bag."
• "The hand pump works great and allows you to really compress the bags down small."
• "The valve to vacuum the air out works well with the hose to my canister vacuum."
• "Using the accompanying pump, these worked for me."

Cons:

• "The pump was exhausting didn't work for well had to use my vacuum hose to suck all the air out."
• "The hand pump isn’t the best. I like them but will go with another product or brand with better quality."
• "I gave only 3 stars because I could not use the vacuum."
• "The pump doesn't work well though so much quicker and easier to use a vacuum."
• "The hand air pump is useless so I ended up buying a small compression vacuum pump."
• "The hand pump takes way too long used it on the first bag we packed was puffed back up by morning."
• "The valves all slowly leak."

Storage Efficiency

Pros:

• "I was able to add additional space I didn't have before."
• "These bags were perfect for reducing the size of our clothes down enough."
• "They get pretty flat too so stacks or drawers of clothes compress to just a couple inches, saving me so much precious space and clearing the cluttered feeling."
• "These space saver bags have truly transformed my storage situation."
• "These bags are great and save a lot of space."
• "These really are extra extra large lol perfect for storing all these extra bulky blankets, winter coats, etc that are just in the way."
• "They will make more room in your luggage because everything gets vacuumed shrunk."

Cons:

• "Even though we made sure to not overfill the bags and made sure they were completely sealed, about two thirds of the bags we packed ended up full of air."
• "Over time the bag just re-inflates."
• "As soon as I'd get them all loaded in the suitcase, they would fill with air and take up more space."
• "Almost every one of these re-inflated, despite me triple checking to make sure that I had the cap on the valve and the zip-lock closure completely sealed."
• "I am paking ofr a major move and so I have the opportunity to see how the bags hold their seal over days. 1/4 of them I could not even get to work because hey had leaks."
• "The roll up bags just kept refilling with air while I was trying to pack."
• "Several of the bags re-inflate hours after suction."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "The enclosure zip lock is easy to close with the provided zipper and stays secure while vacuuming out the air."
• "The quality of the bags is impressive – they are durable and held up perfectly during the vacuum-sealing process."
• "The plastic is lightweight but extremely strong and easily compresses fabric more than double its original volume."
• "These bags are strong. Huge and double zip so well."
• "The bags themselves are thick and durable enough and the XXL Jumbo bags we bought hold quite a few items."
• "The durable material ensures that the bags withstand repeated use without compromising on the compression efficacy."
• "The plastic is pretty tough and I am able to throw around the bag without holes being poked in it."

Cons:

• "This is probably one of the most disappointing purchases I’ve made on Amazon but for the price I paid, I wouldn’t bother to go through the return process."
• "Unfortunately, both the 'jumbo' sized bags in my box were defective."
• "I have tried with and without the clips provided but these bags simply do not retain their vacuum."
• "However, a few of them came damaged with holes and after routine use others stopped compressing."
• "They are not durable and puncture SUPER easy making the bag useless."
• "The plastic is very cheap looking and feeling. The seals don't work. They are almost impossible to zipper shut."
• "As other reviews have stated.. they rip very easily!!"

• "These bags are a great value for the quantity and size."
• "Great value for the money!"
• "These were decent quality."
• "BEST part; my clothes got to the place and weren't wrinkled !!!!! :)"

Cons:

• "The bags are just a dust protector and filling up the bedroom closet."
• "I’m still in disbelief that vacuum seal bags didn’t come with valve caps."
• "They are very thin and nothing like the Zip lock brand."

• "We did not test the item upon receiving the package, when we tried it in May the pump does not work and Amazon will not replace the item."
• "These were a bit harder to use than the bags I have used in the past."
