Earthwise Storage Bags Extra Large Heavy Duty Reusable Moving Totes w/Zipper closure Backpack Carrying Handles - Compatible with IKEA Frakta Hand Carts Boxes Bin (Pack of 6)

I’ve used these totes for multiple storage needs for the past 2-3 years. I find them a necessary staple in myhousehold. Recently, I packed about a ton of women’s donated clothing for a career fair for migrant workers using these totes. The organizer of the event was delighted to find the clothes still folded and well put together inside the totes. Her response was, “I’ll never look at clothes in hefty bags the same ever again”. Upon her insistence, I share the source of my purchase. Then I kindly asked her to be certain to return the totes after the fair. A really great purchase. Just be careful to not fill them beyond capacity.

I first ordered these bags in 2018 to store extra blankets. They are very roomy and I can fit 4 queen sized blankets in them comfortably. I had dry cleaned some blankets and kept them in the dry cleaning bags (cheap plastic things with zippers that eventually busted open). Hence why I am here ordering more of these blue bags. I use them for storage in our basement to keep my stuff dry and dust free. I havent had to tote these bags far, so I can't comment on the durability of picking these things up with the straps and moving them time and time again. They seem sturdy enough and if you don't overload them with heavy weight I think the straps and the zipper would last a long time.

I drive across country every yr as a sabbatical to see as many family and friends as I can for a month, and these bags are super awesome! I can use one for shoes, one for jackets/coats, one for sweaters, one for dirty clothes, laundry detergent, clothes, supplies etc... I loved how organized my trunk was and how easily accessible everything was. I kept a carry on in the car, and repacked at each stop. It was like shopping out of my trunk! I’m a neat freak, so I labeled each bag in a different color so I could easily identify its contents by subject matter. The option to turn the bags into backpacks made packing up and unpacking the car effortless. My husband did laugh at me when he popped my trunk to unpack me when I got home... he said I looked like I was a drug mule or I robbed ikea with the matching blue bags😂 All in all, I love them. They flatten to store easily in the size of an old school phone book. I keep them in unused luggage and it’s worth the purchase for my needs.

I bought these because I was moving and I just hate dealing with boxes. I was impressed with the size and my ability to pack so much stuff, without over filling. So impressed I bought more and basically moved my entire apartment. Of course . these aren't for heavy items like books, however, I certainly was able to pack about 85% of my stuff using these. BONUS!!! No dealing with boxes afterwards. Best move ever. You must be careful to not over stuff and stress zipper or seams. There's really no need to, since you can buy so many at a great price. I bought 18 and packed a one bedroom apartment, that had a lot of art supplies. I used for clothes, miscellaneous stuff in drawers, bathroom items and office supplies; and, I packed must of the kitchen, except glass and breakable items. They fit into my hatchback and a few trips, I saved myself a lot of $$, as the movers only had to move my furniture.

This product remind me of a giant duffel bag meat out of tarp. It is heavy duty but lightweight. The two thing that I would change would be how the zipper is done because mines going both directions so I have to doublecheck and make sure that it is zipped up all the way and not opened on one end. And I wouldn’t want to open completely left to right not just up at the top at one end and then all the way down on the other end. It makes a little bit difficult to put some things in.

I used these during a move recently for items like clothing, towels, sheets, sweaters, etc. The stuff that typically goes on the shelf in a closet. I decided to get these instead of stuffing everything into garbage bags, as I've done in previous moves. They worked beautifully. No rips or tears. The zippers all worked like zippers are supposed to. There was heavy rain on loading day and unloading day, and everything in these bags made it from one house to the next - clean and dry. The handles make them very easy to carry. Don't expect to pack these bags beyond their capacity, as there's no "give" in the materials that they're made from. But if you fill them appropriately, they'll work like a charm!

We got these on a suggestion of a friend who's son had gone away to college the year before. She said they were a lifesaver and she wasn't kidding! You can fit SOOOO much stuff in there. Then they fold down to nothing for storage at the end of the year. they are also water resistant if you get hit with a rainstorm while moving (which thankfully we didn't, but a couple weeks later several other students did).
