Where Have I Been In The Past 10 Years By Brandy Norton on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
I bought some space bags afew months ago, to put my (what seems like) millions of clothes in. I saw the space bags in the store and thought, they must work, because they have been around forever. There is medium, large, extra large, and jumbo. I decided to get the combo set. It contains 2 large, 1 jumbo plue 1 e-z load bag.
First thing I noticed was that the plastic pieces that zips the bags, would come off eazy. They would come off the ends when I was putting to stuff in. Then it would take five minutes just to get them back on.
When I finally got the clothes in there, I thought it was great. It looked pretty cool to see how much something can shrink.
Then a few days later, I'm looking around and see that my bags are going back to normal size. Three out of the four had a slow leak. So as far as I am concerned they are a waste of money, Do Not Buy.

wow. and I was considering getting one of these. Now I'll look at other brands, thanks!
Oh my gosh-these started leaking?! I am surprised about that & we were thinking about getting a few of these-I think I will politely pass on them!
Wow I was wanting these and could not find them. Instead I got the big ziploc ones.
I have had similar problems with spacebags but returned them for new ones when I discovered they leaked.
Thanks for the info, I had been looking at these, now I am not so sure I want to get them.
Thanks for the warning, sometimes we really feel frustrated when we buy products that does not work out as claimed.
Unbelievable-Sounds like most everyone had the same problem! Thank you for letting us know. Someone should take this up with the company as well!
I have had these leak after a short time also. They would be great, if they could figure out how to keep them from leaking.
What a bummer these didn't work for you. I admit, the infomercial has almost gotten me a few times, but I'm the type that would put something in one of those bags and forget about if for years, lol - out of sight, out of mind ;).
You can accomplish the same thing using trash bags and a vacuum. I've done it with blankets and pillows and they've held since last winter.
