This is a small battery-powered pump that clips onto the valve of vacuum storage bags and pulls the air out, so clothes and bedding compress flat. It replaces hand pumps and the hose-and-bag routine of a full-size vacuum, and its cordless size suits suitcases and closets. It only works with bags that have a one-way valve, and it is slower than a plug-in vacuum on large bags. Reviewers of this class of pump like the freedom from arm pumping and the travel size, but some find the suction weak on thick bags and the battery short-lived.

Owners of small electric bag pumps generally value the convenience over hand pumps and hotel-room improvisation. Complaints center on weaker suction than a plug-in vacuum and batteries that fade before a full suitcase is done.
This is a cordless electric pump for vacuum storage bags. It is small enough to fit in a pocket or purse. A rechargeable motor removes the air from a bag, so clothes compress flat and the bag takes up less space.
To use it, press the pump onto the valve of a vacuum storage bag and press the button. It works with most standard valve-style vacuum storage bags. It can compress items such as bulky sweaters, jackets and sleeping bags, and it can be used for travel, camping, moving, dorm closets and under-bed storage.
The pump is built from durable materials for travel. It charges over USB-C from a laptop, power bank or wall adapter. One full charge is enough to compress multiple bags. The pump is sold without bags.
