Vacuum pumps can be incredibly useful for packing clothes or other items for trips, as well as for organizing your home storage. We'll look at the various types:
1. Hand Pump for Vacuum Bags
Hand pumps are operated manually and allow you to remove air from bags of storage by hand. The hand pumps are simple and inexpensive, but require physical effort to compress. Hand pumps are more affordable, but they can also be labor intensive and not as efficient. These pumps are bulkier, less convenient and take up more room in your luggage.
2. Electric pumps for vacuum bags
Electric pumps provide automated air extraction that is both convenient and efficient. Some electric pumps need direct power, but others can be powered via portable devices like power banks. This increases their versatility when traveling. There are two main types: electric suction pumps and electric vacuum pumps.
· Electric Suction Pumps
The electric suction pump works by removing air from the storage bag, much like a vacuum cleaner. These pumps are easy to use and compress items efficiently. They may not be able to achieve a complete vacuum, produce more noise when operating, and vary in power. Electric suction pumps can heat up with prolonged use and the seal of the storage bag may degrade over the years, which will affect the compression efficiency.
Electric vacuum pumps work automatically to create a vacuum in storage bags. They eliminate all air, achieving maximum compression. These vacuum pumps are designed to operate quietly and maintain compression over a long period of time. They can be used for many storage requirements, at home or on the road. Electric vacuum pumps reduce the volume of items stored with great efficiency, which makes them perfect for protecting and maximising luggage space.
Choose an electric pump that suits your needs
Consider your packing needs and preferences when choosing between an electric and a hand-pump. Hand pumps may be portable and cost-effective, but they require physical effort to use and might not provide the same compression as electric models. Electric pumps are more efficient, have superior compression, and can be used by frequent travelers.
These tools are essential for organized and smart storage, whether you choose a manual vacuum pump or an electric pump. Discover the best vacuum pump for your packing requirements by exploring Vacbird’s range. Simplify your packing today and enjoy hassle-free travel!
