    How do you mean basil, they did'nt stay small.???:confused:



    I think what basill means is that if you don't screw up the hole properly then sometimes air will leak back into the bag and it will expand again as if you haven't sucked the air out of it.The bags Iv'e got...you inscrew the hole and attach your vacuum then suck out the air and while the vacuum is still switched on you screw the hole shut.(if thats not what you meant basill please correct me...lol)

    HTH

    Thats it, after a while the air leaked back in and they swelled back to full size I think ours were JMC or QVC. Valve for the cleaner is covered by a clip on cover that clipped on pretty tightly. I`m not sure where the air got back in.

    Did anyone else find them so poor??

    Hiya Pat

    I got mine from QVC too, but instead of the normal price, I got them BOGOF for £5 from the QVC outlet store in Warrington :money: :money:
    they are the zip style type, rather than the ones you fasten with the two clippy bar thingies lol

    They have loads of other great prices on stuff too, and well worth a visit. :D

    I bought two space bags from Betterware and they were OK at first but now they dont stay small for very long. Last month I bought a pack of two JML from Wilkinsons (I think). They cost £10 and are the vacuum is still good.

    I bought my first lot from QVC and they were the ones you suck the air out with the vacum through a valve and they were the biggest waste of money ever. Bought my next lot from can't remember but they were the ones you use the clip to shut and put the vacum in just before you close it completely and they were much better than the valve ones.
    I have never met a calorie yet I didn't like!!
