....has anyone on here bought any and what do you think of them??
No l don't mean bags to take you into space..lol But bags that save you space...OK...lol

jude ;-)

If you have a large cat with sharp claws then they are a bit of a let down.

Hi Jude how are you all doing, We have the bags in various sizes, you do need to get all the air out and seal them quickly,after a while the air does leak out , but we have had ours for quite awhile so maybe the new ones are better, you just need a strong suction on your vac....

love Jean xx

Hi June,
A word of warning... the cheapo ones sometimes split around the plastic valve , rendering them useless!

Try to keep that area as flat as possible when using suction.
It's the creases in the plastic that split

I bought some about 5 years ago, just before we moved here.....some stuff is still in one (no leakages)...bedding & towels... also used the big one to store spare duvets (which has been opened and closed). they do save on space.

Thanks everyone...except RolloThe Red.....lol...no cats here now :-)

l have just ordered the ones advertised on the tv ...www.spacebags.co.uk
Sounds like they are a good idea and l think these are none cheapies.

Hi JustJean:)...we are fine thanks, hows you??

Hi Jude I have them for bedding and so does my Mum....I wasn't sure of them at first but I think they are good if you are short of storage :-)

I have no cats ;-)

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. :-S :-)
How does putting stuff in a bag save space? Are they magic bags? :-S :-D

Graham...lol

You have to suck the air out with a vacuum cleaner:)

Thanks Jax ;-)

Budgie Rustler....lol...now that is a good idea... ;-) :-D

You can get some from Poundland that roll the air out so you can take them on holiday and reuse to come home without needing a vac. cleaner. I have used them before now, Kleeneze do some as well but the spacebags ad. does seem good value, sometimes they offer 'free' containers for a lot of bags etc.

Hello Liz:)

Yes l got the deal thats on the adds 10 bags for £30 + P&P....if it works its better than adding a room...lol
Not seen the Poundland ones, but you can roll some of the Space Bags also, depends whats in it l spose.

What other items can be put in them?? spose anything that is soft or flexible...books would'nt work.

Rollo ........

you ain't supposed to put the cat in the bag..........!

hence the saying, "that's let the cat out of the bag!"

BR..... you could make a fortune with that one, on Storage wars

Jude, you can use the bags for anything you want to keep dust free or dampfree etc, books, paper work or whatever you can fit in them. Quilts and pillows squash right down so a winter or summer duvet when you change over can be stored in much less space. With things like books you just have to be careful with the corners so you don't rip the bags.

The roll up bags can have things like sweaters or such inside and you just have to leave room to roll them to squeeze out the air.

Have fun with yours when they come

Thanks for that Liz....not arrived yet:((

They're probably having difficulty getting them into the packaging ;-) :-D

"They're probably having difficulty getting them into the packaging"

? the cats you mean ?
Yeah well, mine would def. not take to it though I could do with the desk space they take being freed up. I never considered the cat problem when shifting to a half time work from home basis ...

What are "storage wars" ? A place for hoarders who spend too much on eBay ?

Can you get space time bags ?
