VMstr Travel Vacuum Storage Bags with Electric Pump (USB Pump + 8 Combo Bags)

Having used vacuum bags before, I was skeptical of this product. But, as I was limited on space for an upcoming trip, I decided to try them. I liked the idea of a travel pump because sometimes I don't have access to a regular vacuum cleaner, and I'm not a fan of rolling out the air (compression). I opened the package and I was pleased that the bags were the right size for my Monos rollaboard. I loaded up some bags, and used the pump on the first one. It works, but it takes awhile. The nice part about that is it didn't seem to need me to hold it in place, so I was able to go do something else while it did its work. The second bag I lost patience and used my vacuum. Definitely faster and possibly better air removal. Then came the actual test: will it actually hold? we are 48 hours later and the seal is still holding on both bags.

Purchased these for an upcoming trip to Australia and New Zealand to maximize space. Tested two of them out. They both held the seal for over 24 hours! Probably would have lasted longer, but I broke the seal. Very happy with the results! I only wish there was a bag that was smaller than the smallest one in the set (9 bags: 3-23x15, 3-19.5x15, 3 -15x15...approximate measures (in inches), might be 15.5, but that includes the zipper space) - a 9x9 or two would be nice for undergarments! They seem very durable and should survive a long trip. The vacuum pump worked great and it's compact for travel (4x1.5 in). It has both USB and Type C charger adapters, super convenient! Excited to put these to use!

UPDATE: while I was a bit disappointed in the suction of the travel vacuum and say so below, the fulfilling company’s Customer Service was amazing so I am upgrading my review a bit. Left the below review and out if the blue, received an email from the company offering to correct the issue. Offered a full refund due to my concerns. Wonderful follow up from the seller, would recommend them in a heart beat! Original review: Bought this for work travel - I am always on shorter stints wherein I want to use the overhead sized bag so I don't have to check my bag - thought this might work great for the colder months when I struggle getting 3 days worth of clothes in my bag due to the bulky winter items. This product travels well, small size on it's own so easy to include in my bag without making the situation worse. The vacuum bags also seem to close well and hold their seal. However, the suction leaves a LOT to be desired. At home, when packing, I can use the vacuum to really tamp the size down. But, once in the hotel, the suction machine is not very powerful so unfortunately I don't get the same results. And takes awhile just to get it down to what I can seem to pull off using the little vacuum. Disappointed in that but I kept it, does something to give me space at least.

The vacuum suction is ok. It is not powerful. The vacuum only worked while it was plugged in the wall or in a power bank. I did like that the bags came in 3 different sizes. I’m rating it 3 stars ⭐️ because of the lack suction from the vacuum.

A group of friends and I planned a 15 day trek through Italy. So we were determined to travel VERY light. We each had a regular carry-on luggage and a 21qt. Backpack. My boyfriend ordered a a set and I ordered a set. We each took a lot of clothes. Like 20 outfits I think. We were impressed! We mainly used the medium and small bags. The large was too wide for the carry-on. But they were enough! We used to roll up our clothes and with these bags the idea is the opposite. You want the clothing as flat as possible. You will definitely need to make time to use them I think it took us around an hour each time because you have to be somewhat strategic about how many items and what they are. Definitely used our body weight to help flatten and found it easier to pack and squeeze down on the floor. The least amount of folds the better off you are! The little machine was ideal. Compact, not too loud, easy to use. We packed and unpacked almost every other day so we got the hang of it after the first couple of times. I hope it lasts a few more times but for our 15 day trek they were perfect. Life savers actually. I can’t imagine dragging a bigger suitcase than a carry-on. Perfect solution for that.

Pump stopped working after only 6 weeks after receiving. Only used once. Tried to use it for another trip & the pump wouldn't work. Contacted the supplier but never received an answer

I bought this vacuum pump/bag system for my most recent vacation. It was really easy to use and worked well. The bags sealed shut and kept a vacuum for the entire trip. It does take a little while to pump all of the air out of the bags, but I expected it to take some time with the small pump. I was able to condense all of my packing for my week-long trip to just my carry-on bag and backpack. It paid for itself by allowing me to eliminate a the cost for a checked bag for my flight. It also saved me time since I didn’t have to go to baggage claim. My carry-on bag did weigh a lot, but that wasn’t a problem for me. For my trip back, I put my laundry in a couple of vacuum bags, pumped the air out, and they fit perfectly back in my carry-on bag. I just order a 2nd vacuum pump/bag set because I want a back-up pump in case the first one breaks while on a trip - that would be a bad situation. Plus, a few more bags never hurts.

Sturdy, perfect thickness, good storage space and no weird plastic/ factory smell, my clothes smell like fresh laundry as they should! I travel 3-4 times per month on an airplane. Used them once and a few bags and the vacuum were not working properly so I got replacements immediately from the company and they all seem to work fine. I pre pack and allow them to be in my bag a few days prior to see how well the seals hold up and so far so good. The key is not to over stuff/pack them and push mush of the air out prior to vacuuming it closed. The travel vacuum is really great as well, great suction power. I definitely give this system a 4.5 out of 5.

I just went on a trip and used these bags. I was able to pack a lot of stuff in a very small carry on bag. The pump works very well and plugs into any USB port. It is wired. It attaches to the bag with a little rubber adapter and stays on with no effort. So you are able to vacuum one bag while you pack another. After only one use I have noticed some lines in the material. I am unsure if this will be an issue or is just cosmetic. Definitely recommend for anyone that travels.

The motor isn't loud, very easy to use, and the bags that I've tested so far don't leak air. Perfect for traveling.

Altamente recomendables para viajes, funcionan y ahorran demasiado espacio!

Accidentally removed the rubber; and one of the bags is useless, so user must remember not to remove rubber sealer from the bag.

Bought this to help with packing for extended overseas travel but was nervous about relying on it too much. What if the little pump fails when I'm away and all my packing was based on compressed items? Turns out, there's a pretty solid workaround that also makes sealing much easier. Once you seal the bag, BEFORE using remove the cap, and starting from the zipper seal, start rolling the bag toward the valve. This will expel a significant amout of air from the bag before using the pump. This makes me confident that even if the pump should fail, I'll still be able to wrangle the items in the luggage I have. It also saves time when you are using the pump as it has much less air to extract, Follow up after two months travel: pump worked great. Manually squeezing the air out of bags before attaching the pump saved a lot of time when repacking. Overall,. very pleased with the purchase.
