Clothing and blanket storage.

I purchased the vacuum seal bags for clothing. These do not hold the vacuum. I attempted more than one time and they simply do not work. This is not the brand I usually purchase these kinds of storage bags from, but I trusted the Hefty name and I was in a hurry. I have used other brands before with much better results. I will not purchase these again. I am disappointed in the Hefty name.

Same as the others

Same as the others. I expected better from Hefty. They're no better.
I have a ton of bedding that needs to be condensed in a small space. The bags worked the first time. I was so relieved because I have had so many failures. I followed the directions to the letter, as others have stated they did. I used the bedding and now I need to pack everything up again and store it. Sure enough, the bags don't hold. They didn't even last an hour. I can't believe they're only meant to be a one-time use! I can't afford to buy new bags every time I use the bedding.
Is there ever going to be a bag that lives up to the hype?
What am I going to do now?

I was hoping you were better than the Magic Bags. The problem is you need to give consumers options to buy one XL, or even one LG. I had to take a box back because one of the two would not stay shrunk. So the store told me I needed to bring them both in. So I had to empty out the one that was good to take back both of them. So here I am again with the same problem. But I can not return just one bag and get another 2 pack. This does not make me happy.
The other complaint is why do they have to be made in China? I wish I would have looked before I bought them.

Bought 3 boxes of large medium and small bags. Followed the instructions to the letter and slided the closing tab 4 or 5 time more than indicated. It still let air in after a day or two. Very disappointed after spending more than 60 bucks.

I have used several Space vacuum bags. Not user friendly and did not hold up. I just used my Hefty space bags, easy to use and vacuum easy. I give these space bags a 10 I RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO USE HEFTY
THANK YOU

This was my first attempt at using vacuum storage bags, mostly due to the cost, though recently decided to try Hefty's version. Purchased a box of 6 large bags, needed bigger to begin with. First one went well as did the second. Finished the third and was optimistic until I returned from an errand. After the 6 bags were filled and drained of all life, I took a short break returning to find 2 of the 6 are not remaining sealed or may have a small air leak, so 4 good, 2 so-so.

These bags are not very heavy duty and don't keep the air out. They are horrible bags. I bought the big package with 3 Xlrg, 4 Large and 1 medium. The XL have holes for hangers, if I wanted garment bags I would have bought them. I sucked all the air out of them and about a minute later 3 of my bags, the 2 XL and 1 large the air came back in. I sealed the hanger holes with duct tape and it helped 1 of the 3 XL ones. Not impressed. I would buy the seen on TV ones again before I ever buy these again!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 out of 8 bags the seal did not work

5 out of 8 bags the seal did not work. I bought others bags (not Hefty) and they were not the best, so I decided to try Hefty. The seals did not hold and yes I closed them right and I did not put too much into them. (I thought I put too much into the other bags I had before) o I made sure I didn’t do that this time. So the review I have about these bags are not the great.
