Powerful vacuum bag pumps

Has anyone bought one of these and do you rate it? Need to pack ski stuff into a small bag and then re-pack it to come home.

Do you mean an actual pump or just the bags?

All the bags I have bought have come with a hand pump or you can quite easily roll them to get the air out as the valve is one way so air does not go back in.

Once the are airless, they are not very pliable though so would make packing them trickier

Would larger packing cubes work?

Most of the bags I've used, you attached a vacuum to suck the air out- but this would be no good for packing whilst on your holiday.

I have seen some brands where you roll the bag to get the air out.
I've never seen one which comes with its own pump! 🤔

You can buy small electric pumps for camping ( airbed inflation) but they are quite heavy. Make sure you order an AC/DC one though so it can be operated from the mains.
Try Amazon

This is the sort of hand pump that came with mine ...
