Bags you suck air out of...

I'm after those bags that you fill with clothes/sheets/quilts etc, then attach a hoover and suck the air out. They need to be in a shop as i am away from thursday.

(I need large size, as cheap as poss)

Cheers

  • Hi,

    Not exactly what you're looking for but ASDA sell similar things at around £4 for two, basically you fill them up and squeeze the air out by rolling them up (Laying on them works well too!).
    Cheers,

    You can get them in argos for £9.99 for 2, a bit pricey but they are the extra large size. Also yesterday I was in 'Home Bargains' and I bought 2 sets for £1.99 each. I haven't checked them but it says one large and one small on box.

    Do they compress as small as the vacuum ones and can I get a quilt in them?

  • I think you'd have a struggle to get a quilt in there (Without looking i'd guess they were 18x24 inches but can't be sure..) when packing t-shirts I found that it compressed to between an quarter and a third of the original size - i've no idea how small the vacuum ones go as i've not used them - sorry..!

    I just the Argos ones and with a small bit of effort got two adult sleeping bags in each...... probably could have got a few other bits too.
