Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honey-Can-Do VAC-01299 Extra Large Storage Vacuum-Packs, 2-Pack
Customer Review: Don't last
Summary: 1 Stars
The bags are not very sturdy and get holes easily. I have a very small apartment and limited storage so I thought these were a great find. I bought medium, large and extra large sizes. One bag ripped while I was putting a blanket in it, right up by the "zipper". Frustrating, but I assumed I had been careless and was more careful with the others. In the next one I put the blanket and in a medium, sweaters. After vacuuming out all the air one was stored in a plastic tote, the other on top of a shelf in a storage room. Both leaked air and had gone back to full size within a day or two so they must have gotten holes while I was putting things in them. I do not have long nails, I was careful and I know there was nothing in the storage areas to have done this, because I checked. These were a waste of money.Customer Review: Extra Large Storage Vacuum-Packs

Worked just great and they are saving us closet space plus keeping our blankets and pillows in great condition until we want to use them again. Highly recommend them.Customer Review: Extra Large bags do not hold the seal, but smaller bags do.
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought varying sizes of this brand of vacuum bags. The Small-Large held the seal, but none of the Extra large bags worked. I packed them lightly. One blanket/bedspread/rug in each Extra Large bag and the Extra Large bags were taking in air the next day. I even tried changing the items to different, brand new Extra Large bags to see if it was just a fluke with the bad bags, but sadly, that was not the case. None of the Extra Large bags worked. All of my smaller bags worked great though and are still sealed and flat (since September 2010). I would say if you need to pack smaller things (clothing, sheets, sweaters, etc...), try the smaller Honey-Can Do bags, but forget the Extra Large bags. This brand's smaller bags do work better than the "Seen On TV" bags......those are pure garbage.Customer Review: GREAT product, great price!

Summary: 2 Stars
If you've got $$ to gamble with and need to compress some bulky bedding or winter coats for storage, these bags may just fit the bill. Notice that there are many 'maybes' in the previous sentence.
I went cheap and got what I paid for, though I was not surprised due to the other reviews. Again, I tossed the dice and hoped I'd come out better than others who had problems and the gamble didn't pay off.
2 bags come in this pack and true to my history of laying down a bet, I only lost half my money. One bag worked and the other just wouldn't hold an airtight seal. This is after I spent at least 10 minutes CAREFULLY removing the bags from their packaging as I had been warned by the other reviews that there was a good chance I'd put a hole in the bags via the stiff, pointy corners of the box they came in.
While I got them out hole-free, I did have a heck of a time with the part you attach the vac wand to, and on one bag it just plain fell off. While I did get it back on enough to suck the air out of the bag, the seal didn't hold and the bag reinflated itself in short order. Miraculously, the other seal held - a fluke I'm sure.
As these bags are for inside storage, it was not the end of the world, but I would not feel safe using these for basement or garage storage as I'm sure with a loose seal, dirt and moisture would be able to get in.
