We use them every year and they are great, but as said above, we tend to replace ours at the start of every season as they easily puncture, usually when we are putting them up in the loft!

We've been using bags from Poundland for 2 years now. We originally bought 2 big ones (good for king size duvets) and 4 small ones (towels, sheets etc). £4 all together. They make a massive difference to space requirements for bedding, towels, fleeces, anything that doesn't need ironing really. One of the larger ones has failed but all the others are still going strong.
Our airbed pump does deflating so we can vac them for coming home. Not as effective as the hoover at home but good enough. You might find a more friendly site owner will vac them for you at the site office if you ask nicely. We usually have a little extra space in the car on the way home as we've eaten and drunk whatever we took with us!

Hi dont forget you can also use body weight to dispel some air. Just
start from the bottom and work towards the nozzle. Have also found
that using a air bed pump doesnt get as much air out as say the hoover
at home. But there deffo worth buying
