If you use them for things like sweaters and never stuff them full and are very very careful, MAYBE then they are worth buying. But if you want to use them for blankets and things that take some doing to get into the bag, then don´t use them because with the slightest stress they break.
Another thing that often goes wrong is the the seal around the hole where the vacuum hose goes, breaks. Once that seal is gone, just like the zipper or any tear, the product becomes worthless.
So I´d say the smaller bags used to pack clothes and sweaters, things like that - they are okay but still you risk tearing and ruining them. But forget using them for foam layers or pillows or big comforters LIKE THEY ADVERTISE YOU CAN DO. These bigger items will tear or ruin your bag, every time.
Bottom line: Maybe okay for small things, never okay for big things. This is a product that needs to be made much more sturdy in order to be useful and get a 4 or 5 star review. I´ll never buy another one. I hope another company re-designs them to be more sturdy. Then it will be a great product.. And summed up by saying Good idea - but they are too fragile to be worth buying.
