Question 1

What sizes are included in this 8-pack?

Accepted Answer

The set includes 8 bags in 2 sizes: 4S (13.7"X19.7") and 4XS (11.8"X13.7"). Each size comes in 2 colors on the opaque side.

Question 2

Does the electric pump need to be plugged in to work?

Accepted Answer

No, it is a cordless 1500mAh rechargeable pump that is compact and lightweight to take anywhere. It recharges with the included Type-C cable, and you double-click the power button to turn it on.

Question 3

Do the bags stay sealed during a trip?

Accepted Answer

Many reviewers report the bags held their vacuum for a whole trip, including one who used them for 5 weeks in New Zealand with zero issues. However, one reviewer said about 10% of their bags lost their vacuum press after a few weeks.

Question 4

How well does the pump actually suck the air out?

Accepted Answer

Reviewers describe the pump as awesome and say it sucks the air right out, with the listing stating 5000Pa suction power that can evacuate a bag in about 10 seconds. One reviewer, however, felt the suction lacked power and that it did not work.

Question 5

Are these bags good for carry-on luggage?

Accepted Answer

Reviewers say the bags are sized perfectly for carry-on bags, with one noting they fit a weeklong ski trip's clothes into a carry-on instead of a checked bag. One reviewer, though, found them better suited for long-term home storage than travel.
