Why is this a good deal?
If you already have your vacation planned, there’s no time to waste – now is the time to close that deal. We haven’t seen the price of these cubes this low in months and we can only hope it goes up from here.
Why do I need this?
If packing for a trip tends to be a bit of a hassle for you, packing cubes can come in handy. They help keep things tidy and organized while you travel, but these accessories take packing a step further with their compression feature. It allows you to flatten the cubes a little more to take up less space in your luggage.
Each compression cube has an extra zipper on the outside that can be closed to flatten the cubes. It works similar to a vacuum sealer, but without all the extra tools. Want to know how it’s done? After folding and flattening the clothes, place them in the cube and close the standard zipper. Place a finger on the back of the zipper in the space when compressing the packing cube, in case the zipper gets caught in the fabric. Close it completely and you’ll notice the cube becomes noticeably flatter.
This particular set comes with four standard compression cubes in various sizes (small to extra-large), a slim compression bag, and a shoe bag.
What the reviewers say
More than 14,000 shoppers say these packing cubes have made traveling so much easier for them — even flight attendants and other crew members can’t stop raving about them.
Pros
“I’m a flight attendant and these are my favorite packing cubes,” a professional flyer wrote. “They expand and make packaging easier. Furthermore, aesthetically [they] it seems good. I like how they can expand if necessary.”
Another flight attendant said she loves these because they “keep my suitcase organized and well packed” while another said they help you “pack more efficiently.” “I love being able to compress it into a smaller package once the clothes are in,” the same buyer added.
One pilot even gave him two cents, adding that she doesn’t travel without these compression cubes. “I’m a pilot and I travel a lot” the reviewer wrote. “In hotels 14 to 16 nights a month and rarely in the same hotel for more than one night. These suitcases (I bought two sets) keep me organized, save time packing and unpacking, and keep my clothes wrinkle-free.”
Cons
Although some buyers love them, one said they wish there was a clear vinyl pocket on the outside of each bag “to label the contents.” The same buyer addedhowever, that “a roll of duct tape and a Sharpie worked perfectly.”
Also, if you pack too much, take from this buyer: get the set of six over the set of four. And for those who always need a little extra storage but don’t need another full set, this reviewer said It would be nice if the brand “had options to purchase additional larger cubes.”
Amazon
For those looking for a pop of color and a more compact quantity (without the shoe bag), this four-piece set is the right choice.
