Storage Capacity

Pros:

  • "It holds a large amount of clothing or items."
  • "They are so big though that they can hold lots of different things so the possibilities are endless."
  • "This is a large (keyword Jumbo) bag...you can get a lot of material in there."
  • "These bags offer serious storage options. They fit easily under the bed or the bottom of a closet."
  • "These are great! Finally a convenient easy secure way to store seasonal clothes."
  • "So easy to store pillows, blankets etc with these! They hold a large amount and stacking them on a shelf is so much easier than a box or plastic container!"
  • "You can STUFF these full of things!"

Cons:

  • "Not sure if I will be keeping as I expected a clear non logo bag (as pictured)"
  • "Not great for storing items in a basement. There is a strip of mesh venting around the top."
  • "The plastic feels cheap and because of this the bag has zero structure."
  • "They do have air holes all around the top though so that might bother some."
  • "Great if you need something vented but not for storing under the bed or where you don't want thinges to get dusty."
  • "It is tall when fully stuffed, so it's not ideal to store under the bed. Will have to store in closet."
  • "I wanted something like this to keep our Christmas decorations in good condition, but these totes are just too floppy to fit my needs."

Durability

Pros:

  • "The bag is a strong plastic."
  • "The handles were very strong, and all items were kept dry."
  • "Nice durable plastic too."
  • "The plastic is sturdy and I had no problems using it."
  • "Thick movable plastic, keeps their shape once they're full."
  • "Very well made."
  • "They're heavy duty and hold a lot."

Cons:

  • "The plastic is not nearly as durable as it looks and it’s not as flexible either."
  • "I put sheets in one I just bought and when I went to pick the bag up it ripped open."
  • "Upon taking the bag out the next day, the bag ripped in several places."
  • "The zippers do break easily."
  • "I purchased 4 of these & two of them ripped within a month or two."
  • "So it held up for about 2 1/2 months and then maybe a zipper or something got stuck in it and cut a hole at the bottom of it."
  • "Absolutely a trash product, doesn’t hold the amount of clothes like it says and deflates after a few days in the closet!"

Design and Features

Pros:

  • "They easily stack and the handles make carrying them easy as well."
  • "The tote has so many more uses since it is large and oblong and the whole top zips open."
  • "LOVE these...large enough to hold a few blankets and shove under the bed."
  • "You can see exactly what is in them."
  • "Double zippers for easy opening and closing."
  • "The Ziploc totes have handles on the sides and a zipper that goes around 3 sides."
  • "Clear plastics so you can see and easy access zip."

Cons:

  • "The only thing that surprised me was the mesh like 1 inch around the zipper."
  • "And, there are mesh vents all the way around, so it is not sealed. Bugs and moisture can easily get in."
  • "I thought they’d be a good alternative to hard totes or space bags, but there is a strip of mesh all the way around big enough for all kinds of critters, dirt, and hair to enter the bags."
  • "However, there is a strip along the zipper line to let air in and out of the bag (which depending on where you are storing it could allow moths and other bugs into the bag)."
  • "I like to use this type of bag to keep moths out of clothing and blankets, but these bags have a mesh vent strip, so they aren't good for that purpose."
  • "This bag is not airtight contrary to description and will not protect your clothing against moth, which is what I was looking for."
  • "These bags actually have a mesh around the bag allowing air and mositure to penetrate items stored in the bag."

Practicality

Pros:

  • "This is the only bag I use for underbed storage."
  • "These totes have helped me organize my house - from off season clothing in the attic to holiday decorations in the basement."
  • "Purchased to start putting away all of baby's clothes as he outgrows each size."
  • "These are kind of expensive but I like them for clothes storage because there are cent holes so your clothes don’t get musty or smell like plastic if you used a tote."
  • "I use these for camping. Dump all my clothes and stuff in here and toss them in the car."
  • "Keeps all our swim gear like floaters swim fins and goggles in one spot too."
  • "I use them to put all my different seasons clothing under our beds. They fit nice!"

Cons:

  • "I don't think they would durable enough to use these in moving but I haven't used them for that so I'm really guessing."
  • "Bag was bigger than I expected which is my fault for not measuring."
  • "It is too large to place in a suitcase, so don't expect to use the tote in anything smaller than a steamer trunk."
  • "Tried to return but NO NO RETURNS:( total waste of money!"
  • "The picture is very deceiving."
  • "The tote is actually blue with a huge Zip-Loc logo across the top. Not at all what was pictured."
  • "Bought 2 if these not realizing there is a mesh portion around the bag;("
