The Gongshi Vacuum Storage Bag Set earned the title of best overall pick due to its high quality and the fact that it stayed compressed with no signs of air leakage long after the 24-hour testing period. In addition to keeping the air secure, we found no trace of water entering the bag after we submerged it underwater. You can use the pump that comes with it to manually remove the air or any standard vacuum cleaner. We tested this bag with both a vacuum tube attachment and the provided hand pump. 

For around $30, you get a 12-bag set in small, medium, large, and jumbo sizes. However, there are higher-priced sets available that have other size combinations. Each bag features a double-seal slider zipper at the top, along with a triple-seal turbo valve that prevents air from re-entering. On top of that, the bags are reusable, so you get even more bang for your buck.

Sealing the bag was pretty straightforward—all we had to do was attach the zipper to the locking mechanism of the bag and slide it along. Then we attached the hand pump to the bag by screwing it into the valve. Overall, we didn’t find the process of using the hand pump too strenuous, and we were able to remove the air fairly quickly. It took us exactly one minute to finish. 

Our goal was to insert five queen-size sheet sets in the medium-sized bag. We were able to fit all five sheet sets with ease, and it only took us 18 seconds to remove the air with the vacuum attachment. While we were unable to measure volume shrinkage during our testing, we did measure the percent change in the circumference of each tested bag—the medium bag shrank by almost 10% when compressed with the vacuum and by 14% with the hand pump. Although we wish these bags could shrink slightly more, these percent differences were on the higher end of our scale. All in all, you can expect a set of durable storage bags that are easy to store under a bed.
