This product is a great idea, and a great price break in contrast to the overly expensive alternatives out there, however, the old addage holds true – you get what you pay for. As a home brewer, my plan was to use these to protect the hops I harvested while they are in the freezer waiting to be used for brewing. It was a cheap enough solution that if it didn’t work, I wouldn’t feel too bad.
They appeared to work great at first. Then after a few hours in the freezer, I noticed the bags had leaked through the little inflater hole. I tried putting some vinyl packing tape over the hole after sucking all of the air out, but the bags still managed to fill back up with air.
If you are looking for a cheap way to store hops – or anything else which requires a good seal – this isn’t your solution.

This product works great! It creates a super tight seal when vaccumed using the pump. The only downside to this product are that the bags are a little bit expensive. I dont know why, they are the same as any other old bag, but they have a plastic valve in the top right for the pump.

The vacuunm pump works great but the bags must leak somewhere. Like the other one star reviewer, I tried taping the vacuum hole after vacuuming the bag. Within a short amount of time, the bags lost their seal somehow and my frozen blueberries start moving around. I vacuumed each bag several times but the same result occurred.
The five star reviewers didn’t address this issue and I wonder how they couldn’t. Or what they did to prevent the seal from failing.

I found this product easy and quick to use. I don’t use it for long
storage(weeks) rather just days, so I can’t say how it works in that time frame.
It works very well so far. I use it for lettuce. But the best thing i use it
for is apples. I usually don’t eat a whole apple at a time so the rest turns
brown. Instead of having to use lemon juice, I stick the remainder of the apple
in a vacuum bag, pump a few times and it ready for future consumption without
tuning brown. :). Here is something I plan to do. Make several individual portions
of salad at one time, Vacuum seal each portion and use during the week.
Hint: really press down on zip lock to insure a good seal before pumping.
Cons: Shipping cost. I wish this was prime Item for shipping as you can usually
find this item locally without incurring the shipping cost. This is why 4 stars.
