I was cautious buying these as I'd read a lot online about how some vacuum bags are bad quality and don't last, but I have had quite the opposite experience with these Spacemax bags. I bought the 'jumbo' size, and in a pack of 6, I have only had to use 2 and managed to fit in my entire winter wardrobe, including towels and ski suits! They have so much room and really compact down very small. The pack comes with a hand pump to suck the air out, and it only takes a couple of minutes to do this which is great. It also comes with clips to seal the bags at the end and instructions on the outside of the pack and on the bag of how to seal them, so if you've discarded the outer pack, you still know how to vacuum them. Be careful of how much you do fill them, as they do get very heavy when the clothes have been vacuumed out!I had one incident when I sucked the air out of a bag and it re-inflated, which led me to find a small hole in one of the top corners, but I simply went on the Spacemax website, entered my details, explained what had happened and was sent a whole new set in the next couple of days which was incredible customer service. They have a lifetime guarantee which is very reassuring. I have raved about these to my friends and family as they are great for creating more space by packing clothes away. Highly recommend!

UPDATE: I opened one of these bags recently after putting a duvet away for storage and the duvet smells heavily of plastic. Changing the duvet cover does not help because the smell lingers on the duvet itself. Very annoying since I'm not sure if this now requires washing or just airing. I changed the duvet covers and sprayed some lavender as I needed this to sleep. A point docked as now everything I've vacuum packed will unfortunately smell of plastic.First time user of vacuum pack bags, works a treat and very easy to use. You get 6x jumbo bags which is enormous and can fit a winter duvet as demonstrated in the pics provided. The quality of the bag is thick and sturdy so I believe this will last a long time. You get a hand pump included and while it's a good idea, it's really difficult to get the same result as a vacuum, especially when you're dealing with a jumbo size bag. Definitely recommend a vacuum or smaller bags with hand pump.The first time I put the first duvet in, I didn't follow the instructions and pulled the plastic plug out, you can easily put it back in though it's a bit fiddly. Don't pull it out! The instructions state this but I didn't read it clearly. Also if you don't put it below the STOP line, it does affect the result. I found it didn't suck all the air out as well. All you need to do is push it below the line. I found it helped if i had the bag standing and let gravity help. It doesn't matter if it's bulky width wise as long as it's below the top STOP line.Also, it was quite mesmerising watching the bag deflate, even past the point you thought it was possible. I have included pics of two duvets I compacted. The blue one was a double winter duvet, result was astonishing, 20% the size of the original. Definitely recommend this product.
