    I've used those vacuum-seal storage bag for bulky linens for a while, but they never hold the vacuum.

    I saw this advertised and I wonder if they're any good.

    Amazon reviews are mixed.

    Lots of YouTube videos, but they're all for suitcase and travel.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      The results are probably mixed too. We have a few (although they might be a different brand) and about half hold the vacuum over time.

          I am of no use in this thread. I finally gave up and spent $3k on material...

            I have bought packing cubes for suitcases, and thought that they work pretty well. This seems to be the same thing but on a larger scale.

            I am not so sure that it is as easy as it shows to "crunch" things down so that you can zip the next level.

            With the one you link, you don't have to worry about the vacuum and once zipped, it should not open again. My vote is for you to "go for it!!".

              Showed it to Mrs. George. For the price, she agrees. I'll get back to you when I try it out.

                I literally used my sous vide vacuum sealer to pack two raincoats for a trip
