vacuum packed storage bags - need something to deflate them

I checked carefully on amazon, and looked at reviews. I purchased a pack of four

Not cheap......but all reviews commented on their size and durability. Very roomy and they feel strong.

Please, does anyone have any advice as to which vacuum bags are best?

felice, loved that story about the holiday, really made me laugh. I have sorted this all out now and, yes, I found that the h and held g.tech vacuum cleaner, is perfectly okay for these storage bags. Purchased pack of four good quality big bags, and on one I have now stored the spare bedroom, double duvet and cover, in the second, the four pillows for that bed, in the third the fitted bottom sheet and topper, and in the fourth a single duvet and two pillows. Now those have been vacuum packed I have gained a large shelf area in spar bedroom wardrobe. Brilliant.

We got a small pump thing with ours to suck air out.

I use compression travel bags (Amazon)
No need for a vacuum.

We have a pump for blow up beds which also sucks the air out. It cost about £10.

SOs Son and his wife used a vacuum for their luggage going on holiday.
They had to buy an extra suitcase on the way back and pay excess as it had not occurred to them how they would re-pack them for the return journey. Camping holiday in Greece, no vacuum cleaners in a tent !!

They still get teased about it.

Vacpac Go sells vacuum bags with a device that sucks the air out of the bags ! It retails at £ 19.99

Do you have the hand held version as well? With my hand held part of my Dyson I remove whichever tool I’m using and hold the pipe it fits into in the valve and it removes the air very well. A bit slow but it does work.
