Vago Portable Luggage Compressor & 1 X Medium Bag - Black

Does the job perfectly

Bought the Vago vacuum pump but it was intermittently cutting out. This would have been extremely annoying if I had gotten to my holiday destination and it failed such that I couldn't put all my items back into my bag. So straight away this didn't fill me with confidence. While there is some compression of clothes, it wasn't as much as the normal vacuum bags that you use with a full size vacuum cleaner. At a guess, I'd say the compression of clothes is about 50% the original size. This may sound like a lot but don't forget, you're able to create a reasonably amount of compression with normal packing anyway. I'd say it gives a very marginal extra compression but this isn't worth the cost and the hassle to buy it. Then there's the customer service with the company, upon having the fault, I contacted the company directly and received extremely poor and unhelpful information (looked liked standard template responses). There were long delays in getting a reply and their responses didn't help. Had to explain the problem multiple times as I got passed around.I would seriously avoid this, because of the product and the company. Not worth the money when the good old technique of army roll technique (YouTube the method) can give you pretty much the same compression without any of the complication and cost.

Device itself is good - however, trying to find spare vacuum bags for this is nigh-on impossible!

The unit is proprietary and will not work with any other vacuum bags.It has to be connected to a power supply to work at all.The additional bags are tremendously expensive.You cannot get sizes as they are all out of stock.When enquiring about purchase of other bags, was told to look at a website where there would be a sale of the bags. Not on the website at all.Very, very dissatisfied and disappointed.

No spare bags

Love it. Did the job for a recent trip. I like to travel light but sometimes you need to pack more than you want. This little tool that sucks the air out of the bag it comes with reduced the size of the whole lot so it fit neatly into hand luggage!

Dislike can only be used on there special vacuum bag to which I seem to be able to only buy with another pump and one bag !

Unfortunately this pump doesn’t work . I opened it past the returns date , so I can’t even return it .If you do get one that does work , please note that it only works with the vago bags which I also could not purchase seperately.
