From what was said earlier, you can only use these bags once? (won't stay flat?)

I packed and repacked several of the bags as my space requirements changed. I had no issues. As I am using them in a damp basement, I have them inside of large plastic containers so that they don't tear on the cement floor. Perhaps that is why they have lasted. Be gentle with them and they should give you reusable service. I use the tille pump that you can buy for under $10. It is perfect for the bags. The roll up bags never pack as flat as the pump style.

They are very difficult to fold and save. I hope to use them again if at all possible

Mine worked fine twice so far. I had 3 in a large bag and then packed some other clothes I them for storage in a wall locker. 2 didn't make it however. There are large cuts in them. I couldn't tell if the were from something in the bag with them or TSA's rough handling of my luggage. Either way they work as a any times as you need them so long as you're not too rough with them. If they're just being used for storage in a closet they'd probably last a very long time. You also can just roll the air out of them if you do not have a vacuum.

Yes - each bag mounts with its own bungy cord so you can use one or two at a time. I've had mine for around three months and they are really good products.

Looks like everyone has answered. If all still fails, you might contact the Bag company, might be a bad batch of bags?

Haven't had any trouble with that. Love the units, as a matter of fact. Bags I felt were a bit flimsy so bought a second set of real good ones. Would hate to be out camping and have one of the bags rip so a spare set is always a good idea anyway. We use the bags that came with the set as a backup.

You won't. The seller had changed the thing after February 1st and is a word I'm sure is not allowed. As I had bought mine before then, in hopes of 4 bags, but only received one.

If you put things in the bags, they can stand upright. If they are empty, they won't.

I've looked all over the place for the instructions. Please Kelsyus, post a video!I folded it, gave it a twist --it's too big to put into the bag. Do I fold it twice?

I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to do that but it is not really necessary since they are dried out and not prone to mold, etc. I have had the same bag for over a year and they are totally fine and just as fresh as when I got them. I just close it up really well and then stick the sack into another bag and keep that closed up good also. That's all you need to do.

I was able to get mine back in the bag, although it does take some persistence. It's impossible to try to roll it and stuff it in. I start with one end and get it as far in as I can, then I take the end that is sticking out and fold it over and start stuffing it in, all the while squishing the air out with each "stuff". Hope this helps!

To get the small bags to work you: 1.Pack your clothing (It does work better if you don't over fill), 2.Then close the zipper, Then I slightly opened the zipper in a corner and continued with Step 3. Roll out the air. I think by just slightly opening the zipper in 1 spot a one-way air valve is created because my clothes compressed just fine. It was super easy to use and didn't refill with air. And I have been able to reuse the bags with no problems.

Hi GMA, yes, you absolutely can reuse the bags. Just wash them out and save them. They will reseal several times. Hope this helped!

Sorry, I threw away the bag already... Try to contact the company directly to be on the safe side.

You can, but you can probably empty out the old pieces and put the new "fresh" filler in their place. I would assume they would take up more space and fill out your bag. Notice, I did purchase two of them. Good Luck.

No John, they are very troublesome. I think our machine just stopped working and we got rid of it. The bag fits, it didn't expand and fill up. It seriouslt may have been our cleaner and there is not a thing wrong with the bags. like I said, they fit well

I have not used them in that way, but I can say they are the heaviest bags I have yet found, really good quality! Hope this helps!

I would think you could, but beware, as the quality is lacking...these bags are made out of very fine, very thin mesh.

I wouldn't reuse the bags. The roll allows you cut it down to the needed size. You just seal 1 side. Put your stuff in, vacuum it and seal it shut.
