Space Bag 10 Cube bag set from Costco


The Space Bag 10 Cube bag set (Costco Item 200395) seems like a great idea, especially if you see it on TV. You put pillows, comforters, sweaters, blanket, and all sorts of bulky seasonal items into a giant plastic bag, suck all the air out them and use only one quarter of the storage space you needed before.

I purchased this Space Bag set from our local Costco Warehouse for $24.69. This is a great price. You can get it through an Amazon vendor for $37 plus $7 shipping, or you can get it through Ebay for $33.50 plus shipping. You can get a 7 bag set direct from SpaceBag for $19.99 plus about $7 shipping.

Although, you can get it from all these places, don't. It just doesn't work like they say. I tried it. I got out my vacuum cleaner and sucked all the air out of the bag, watching my blankets and pillows shrink down into a nice small size. I put the cap back on the bag, just following the instructions. I put the bag in the closet, on a shelf. The next day I looked at it, and the air had gone back in. The bag was bloated like a dead whale. I put this one into my "return to Costco pile."

Conclusion Don't waste your time on this. However, if you really can't resist the commercials, buy it from Costco and not anywhere else. You'll get the best price and you can easily return it if you are not satisfied.
