"Missing information" star star star star star_border I have just received this bag today. Having read the reviews before I ordered, I was a bit concerned to read from one review that the contents could smell musty. Lakeland advised that the supplier recommended you take the items out every 6 months to air. I was forewarned. However, what I want to point out is nothing tells you about that on the packaging instructions or the website. It is odd, as I have been using vacuum bags for years and never encountered that before
"'Zip' ripped plastic side open!" star star star star star_border I have several of these in various sizes and they've all been fine. However, we're packing to move house - my partner got out the last Jumbo bag and when he opened the 'zip' it ripped open the side of the bag! I didn't manage to get a photo as he packed stuff in it, rolled over the top, held it down and sucked out as much air as possible before clipping the straps and zipping it up! It's likely slowly expanding as I write this! I will buy more, and would recommend them, but buy more than you need maybe in case one is no good. I will be asking for a replacement.
"Great to stash a lot of stuff away" star star star star star I bought a couple of these to store spare duvets, pillows and other random stuff. They swallowed a lot and have maintained their vacuum - so far, so good! I'll be back for another one to finish the job.
"Christmas Bedding" star star star star star I have just bought 2 of these to replace some very old ones that had split. These are brilliant. I got all the Christmas duvet covers plus towels and cushions in one and a single duvet and four pillows in the other. I could have got more in if needed. Great space savers.
