I am absolutely thrilled with this vacuum bags and can only recommend it to everyone. And if you do not just damage the bag with a pointed object and shall ensure that they are properly closed, no air can escape. With this system, we have an enormous space savings. They are as described previously prima to store, for example, baby and children's things or simply mothballing. I would buy again. We also bought the same 2 sets because of high shipping costs. So ... thumbs up!
