Aerless Vacuum Pump vs Cordless Electric Vacuum Pump for Storage Bags

Buy the Aerless if you want a pump and bags from one brand with a lifetime warranty and a household-vacuum fallback. Buy the 6.0Kpa pump if you already own vacuum bags and want a cheap, light pump that fits almost any of them. The Aerless is the more complete kit and has far more owner feedback, at 106 ratings against 12. The 6.0Kpa pump is lighter at 4 oz, claims more compression at 75%, and adds a 120-second auto shut-off. Neither is a heavy-duty tool; both are pocket pumps for clothes and bedding.

• Choose the Aerless Vacuum Pump if you want matched bags, a lifetime warranty and a backup hand-pump method when the battery dies.
• Choose the 6.0Kpa Cordless Vacuum Pump if you already have vacuum bags and want a small, light pump that works with nearly any of them.
