Want to Buy: Vacuum sealed bags (small, and large sized/duvet/pillows)

Lifeforms

Hi,

I'm looking for some Vacuum sealed bags. Preferable not the easy to roll ones that never stay deflated, but some that I can stick the vacuum cleaner nozzle on and suck out the air properly.

Ideally some clothed sized (so a few jumpers, jeans, coats worth) as well as one or two folded up duvet sized ones, and some I can use with pillows.

Does anyone have any ideas on a place I get them reasonable priced, will last a good while, and can do the things I want?

oh and Is there any issue with longterm storage of things in these? Like the winter duvet/covers for 6 months. would I be better putting something in there with them?

Poundland sell Vacuum Storage Bags. Can't give any advice on these as I've never used them before. Does say there ideal for duvets, blankets, pillows, curtains, etc.

I am also looking to use these vacuum sealed bags to store my duvet whilst I'm not at Uni, so would be interested in any advice given

I have purchased some from poundland before, they are hit and miss really. I purchased 6 (for various duvets and pillows) 4 were perfect 2 had a little hole. For a £ i didnt really mind tbh.

I saw some on QVC that looked really good quality: http://www.qvcuk.com/ukqic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.565463.cm_scid.KeywordSearch but the reviews don't look good! Shame because they seem to be reasonably good value.

I bought some off ebay myself, and they have lasted me a good few years. Here's an example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p4712.m570.l1313&_nkw=vacuum+sealed&_sacat=See-All-Categories

Hope this helps.

Thank you, I just bought a pack of JML ones from Sainsburys

I have found that none work, not the cheap ones or the expensive ones. They all let the air back in it is just a matter of when.The cheaper ones were after a night and the more expensive ones were after a week.
I wouldn't bother again as it was a lot of effort for nothing

I bought some from poundland and all of them have worked. I store all my winter duvets and blankets in them and they stayed flat until I opened them in October. They'd been in the bags around 6 months. A couple will need replacing but that more to do with my heavy handedness than a fault with the bag.
