Any one have experience using those storage bags that you use your vacuum to withdraw the air from and store items in a much smaller space. I would like to do that with my sweaters and heavier tops , but wonder if they return to looking the same when 'unpacked' ?

Yep, they look just fine after being "unpacked". I just did two big bags---one of winter sweaters and one for a down comforter and mattress pad---and stored them under the guest bed till next season. It has always worked perfectly for me. HTH

I could never work the darn things.

Mine lose some of the air, or lack of air, but they still work fine and items inside are just as when I put them in.

It depends on what fabrics you are storing. Some of my draperies, duvet covers and pillow shams were ruined because the wrinkles were so tight from air being removed and would not come out. Tried steaming out, ironing out, sent to the cleaners to see if they could remove wrinkles with no luck. Wasted a lot of money. Would only shrink inexpensive things. Would never try do good blankets, robes, pillows etc. I have a lot of these bags and don't use anymore because of these disastrous results. Some of my daughters stuffed toys never looked the same after being in air removed bags. We even tried leaving some air in the bags the following summer and still those results were less than satisfactory. We gave up!

Lots of problems with them. I buy them to pack with and therefore the ones that have to be use a vacuum are not practical. Where can I get a vacuum in a hotel to seal them? The ones I can roll make sense but they seem to break and or the seal opens or does not hold.
So the idea is a great one but I have yet to find one brand that works for me.
