Aerless Vacuum Pump vs Compression Storage Vacuum Pump PRO Travel Set

Buy the Aerless if you want a pump that runs on USB-C, lasts many trips per charge, and can fall back on any hotel or home vacuum cleaner. Buy the BagFlat PRO set if you want a complete kit with up to 15 bags, faster compression and a bigger battery, and you mostly pack clothes and bedding. The Aerless is the more flexible tool; the BagFlat set is the more complete package. Owners of both say the pumps are small, fast and easy to use in a hotel room, and both note that compression can leave some wrinkles.

• Choose the Aerless Vacuum Pump if you already own vacuum bags or want one pocket-sized pump with a lifetime warranty and a household-vacuum backup.
• Choose the Compression Storage Vacuum Pump PRO Travel Set if you want bags included, faster 10–15 second compression and a larger 1500mAh battery in one box.
