- when all the air has been sucked out of it. You just connect your vacuum hose to it, turn on your vacuum and all the air gets sucked right out of it.
I was doubtful at first that the vacuum hose would be sufficient to get all the air out, like it wouldn’t create a good seal to suck the air out, but I didn’t have any problems with it at all, and the air was taken right out and it condensed a huge amount of comforters and pillows into what I considered to be a very small cube.
And because the bottom of these bags are a harder square section, they stack on top of each other very nicely. After seeing what a good job this one bag did, I ended up going back and buying another one for sweaters
and winter clothes and I was able to fit almost all of mine and my kids winter clothes into one bag and condense it down to this small cube that stacked right on top of the other cube.
And because it took up even less space than I was anticipating, I didn’t even have to store it in the garage, which is already quickly running out of space as well, and could shove it on a shelf in our linen closet and hardly even notice it’s there because it took up so little room. I did this with spare sheets and everything that we had as well and I’ve saved so much self space in the process. Then you just unzip it when you want to get to something. It’s easy and no fuss at all. I love mine and wouldn’t be without them.
