How often have the bags leaked? How long to do they stay in the vacuumed state?

I have only had them for a short time(2 months). The mailed blankets in some and they did not leak. The ones I am currently using have not leaked. I just had one new one rip apart when I tried to close it. The rest I am using are working fine.

They stay sealed until you open them. No leaks, just one time use & not reliable after that

I have only had one bag not work at all, all the others sealed perfectly & did not leak if you carefully zipped them tight. They are not reusable no matter what they claim

one of the bags had a hole when it arrived at my house. Two other lasted only two months in the vacuumed state.

I didn't get an image to your question so I think you are asking about the Ziploc Storage bags, if so they stay sealed for almost forever, you can unseal and reseal, they are the best!

FWIW, I have had a half dozen similar bags, and if ice cubes are put into them, eventually they leak... To keep them from leaking, either use "blue ice" frozen packs or put the ice cubes in ziplock bags...

Absolutely! I've changed the contents many times. They're made of much thicker material than a food storage type baggie. You open the bag, put in your items, seal it, in the middle of the bag there is a plastic cap you open, you attach a vacuum hose and suck out all of the air. Some have said their bags leak, there is a slider to close it, but I always manually press my hand along, pressing the edges together to make sure it's sealed tight. I haven't had one let go yet.

Thank you! many times... I will seek out the Ziploc pump + bags at your (and others)solid recomendations. It is gratifying to know I am deffinately not the only "leaky" bag person.

I have three and they have not ever leaked in our back packs or beach bags. But if you flight check in inside your luggage, pressure will force it to leak.

Yes, I haven't had any problems with the bags.I used to have moths in my house an it kept the moths out.

I believe the bag is air tight, but not airless. Also I've never noticed them go stale at all from being in the open air for months.

The bag has a ziploc seal, but they stapled their cardboard sign to the bag so it has holes in it. I had to store them in another bag. The last bag I had lasted three years. Same as you 2 or 3 at a time. Even if they dry up, just put some water on them and they will still work .

I just ordered these bags and like you, I use a different brand sealer. I vacuumed sealed about 5 items of which two of them did not work the next day...

The bags have a Ziploc type top. You then vacuum out the air. It works great for me, but I have had one bag that would not vacuum seal. Probably a tiny hole in it some where. Figured it was a factory defect which will happen.

No as long as you keep them sealed in a plastic bag they will last weeks. I dry mine out in the oven and then vacuum seal them in a container, although that is not necessary. They will last for a year if I need them too. I keep them in a zip lock bag on my dive trips and they last all week long. When you need one or two make sure you are in a low humidity area like an air conditioned hotel room when you open the baggie. Pull out what you need and reseal the bag. Hope this helps.

I change the bag maybe every 3 to 5 months. i'm always pulling my vacuum cleaner out to clean up messes. i have all hard floors but a small house.

Hey Rachel, The bag or bagless debate is all to popular. I think you'll find most people that buy bagless vacuums, will only buy them once. They usually return to a bagged model sooner or later. Bagless vacuums typically last no where near as long as bagged models. This is because bagless machines use a series of filters (some us the very expensive HEPA filter, like this Hoover canister) and as soon as those filters get dirty (the first time you vacuum) it creates so much strain on the motor, they usually burn up in 1-2 years. Go with a bagged model, you'll be much happier, and you won't have to breath ANY dust. There's really no good way to keep the dust out of the air, when emptying a bagless vacuum. Hope this helps.

They stay sealed for a long time. I have used these many times and the seal stays with no problem.

That's a good question. I have several....a large one, a medium one and three small ones. The small ones are several years old and I've never had a leak or a single problem with them. The larger ones are new (bought within the year) and so they're probably too new to spring a leak or develop a problem. So, based on my experience, they can last for many, many years (with proper care, of course). For example, I wouldn't drop them from a 2-story building or throw them under a bus. :)

I have had them for 6 months. No leaks other than a drop that may be there after pumping that you don't wipe off.
