How easy is it to remove the nylon bags? Are they strong enough to carry a load of laundry up and down stairs?

It is probably strong enough, the bags are velcroed on, but it would be a lot easier to just use laundry baskets.

It is easy to remove the bags and the bottoms of the bags are made of a heavy weight canvas so they will handle probably any load you can put in them.

The bags are easy to remove. Just unclip the velco tabs. And they're definitely strong enough to carry up or down stairs. BUT...if you load them up, they might be ungainly to carry up or down stairs. Ease of carrying them depends on your own strength and how much you put in the bag.

We lift and move ours all the time, no problem. But it's kind of an awkward shape to carry up & down a long staircase. Maybe if you did it all the time you'd get used to it - I don't know.

good question they are pretty strong so far as I travel all over the place and I am sure they get slammed around when they are in my different bags

Yes, they're easy to use. I whldnt think you'd have much issue. Of course, the stronger you are going to get more air out of the bag.

the rubber grips on the handles keep it pretty well in place, but generally i lift the whole bag out and carry it to the washing machine, thats the main reason I got a sorter with removable bags.

No, it is very easy to remove the bag; just remember to disconnect the hose from the vacuum first!

Yes, I use it to transport groceries from my car to my condo which is quite a distance. It can be pulled up stairs if done gently as long as it is not filled to the top meaning exceeding weight it can hold.

Yes, they are a bit heavy and floppy to carry, find a stable bag like a reusable grocery bag to transport.

They are fairly easy to remove, but be warned that the straps that attach them are very flimsy. After attaching and removing these bags one time the strap broke.

No they have two carabiner-like clips that allow for easy detachment. I used these to replace my old bags that were zipper style. The sewing that attached the zipper unraveled and I lost a bag on the highway. For that, I'm glad these are not zipper.

Yes, the bags can be removed. They hang on the frame with metal supports that are removable. This is good so you can launder them when they need it.

I've used these bags for almost 15 years now. Even put my foot into them to pack 'em tighter! In all that time, I've only had ONE drawstring break while pulling it closed. I think the bags are strong enough unless they're used for hauling scrap iron to the recyclers!

I bought 2 of these and absolutely love them. I have not tried to move mine, but you would definitely have to take everything out to move. Would not be good for heavy items, I use mine for shirts, blouses, and pants, no heavy sweaters or coats. It is a little flimsy, but it works for what I need it to do.

Thats a big no, I've been using these for weeks now and haven't once had to pull them up.

These are pretty rigid. They are great for papers, small batches of laundry and lots of kinds of toys. I really like them.

No they're very sturdy and stiff, I got them to use in a garment bag as I didn't want them bending either, or sagging through handling but they would work perfectly in the closet to hold heavy garments like jeans. Very good quality.

There is no lifting and there are just two sides to the device. Just take the top of the bag off the device and slide the full bag out from either side. Great design.
