Bag Button Vacuum Storage

Always looking for good ways to pack away the seasonal clothes and bedding when that time rolls around, without taking up every inch of storage space in the house… so this little BagButton gadget caught my eye.

It’s a plastic disk that fits onto the opening of any plastic bag — and we all have plenty of those taking up space, don’t we? — and lets you use any ol’ vacuum cleaner (or a reverse-direction air pump) to suck out the extra air.

I haven’t tried this BagButton for myself, so I can’t vouch for it personally. But it caught my attention because if a $14.95 gadget can help me to cut down on the amount of storage space I need — and also helps to put all those plastic bags to good use once more, before tossing them into the recycling bin — it bound to get a second look…

On the other hand, the BagButton reviews on Amazon don’t look very encouraging, to say the least…

Have you heard of this gadget?
Have you tried it?

I’d love to get your thoughts on this — is the Bag Button a good product that works as advertised, do you know?
