Product description

About this product

No power, no battery, nothing to go wrong.

A vacuum storage bag needs one thing: something that pulls the air out through the valve. This does it with an arm and a piston, which means it works in a hotel room, in a power cut, and in ten years when every rechargeable gadget in the house has died.

It is a simple tool and it earns its place on that basis. You seat the nozzle on the bag valve, work the handle, and watch the bag draw down. A large bag takes a couple of minutes of steady pumping. That is slower than a mains vacuum pump, and it costs a fraction as much.

For travel it is the obvious choice. It weighs almost nothing, there is no plug to match to a foreign socket, and airport security has no opinion about it.

Questions

Good to know

How long does a bag take?

A couple of minutes of steady pumping for a large bag, less for a small one. It is slower than an electric pump and that is the trade you are making for something that needs no power at all.

Will it get the bag as flat as an electric pump?

Close, if you keep going. An electric pump pulls harder and reaches the last of the air more easily. For most clothes and bedding you will not see the difference in the finished bag.

Will it fit my bags?

It fits the standard round one-way valve found on nearly all vacuum storage bags. If your bags came with their own little pump, this one will almost certainly fit the same valve.

Is it worth having if I already own the electric one?

For travel, yes. The electric pump is the better tool at home, and useless in a hotel room in another country. This one weighs nothing and always works.

How do I look after it?

Keep the nozzle free of lint, and do not force the handle at the end of the stroke. If it starts to feel loose, a smear of petroleum jelly on the piston seal restores the suction. Store it somewhere it will not get crushed.
