OKW Studio Question

[cgdisney2011]

This may seem a bit odd, does the vacuum in the studio have a hose?

Thanks

I've never seen a DVC vacuum with a hose. They are just an upright without any tools. Unless they have replaced them with different ones.

I don't know about OKW. A few years ago DSis brought one of those spacesaver bags when we were in a BWV 1 bedroom. I was going to ask a mousekeeper to use a hose but there was one with the vacuum. I have never paid any attention in other rooms because I don't use the vacuum!

Same idea, was going to utilize the spacesaver bag, but need the vacuum for the return. I thought it was an upright but I was hoping for a hose.

I saw a picture of the viilas at OKW somewhere that showed the Vacuum in a cupboard, it looked like it had a hose - I'm hoping to use the space saving bags too

Get the bags that you squeeze out the air instead of vacuuming out the air.

Good idea, not familiar with them. Who puts them out?

Same company. I think they call them travel bags.

Thank you so much, on my way to get them today.

I use the air compression bags from BB&B, no vacuum required. I ONLY use them for our dirty laundry tho for the return trip home. They help make room in the luggage for souvies & such...but FOR ME they wrinkle stuff up too much to use on my clean, freshly ironed stuff. Also, note that they hold a lot but they can get really heavy, really fast so allow for that if you're flying and you're trying to stay under 50 Lbs!!

I took a look this weekend and I figured they where going to wrinkle everything. I also thought they would save on weight in the luggage but I was incorrect also. Decision made bring the extra suitcase. thanks for all your help!

LOL! Clothes weigh what clothes weigh. Squeezing the air out doesn't make them lighter. FYI, the vacuums at OKW do NOT have a hose. We too use the ones where you roll them to squeeze the air out. FYI, things do wrinkle a little, but not badly. The only serious wrinkling I have is on the things I put inside the space bags to put them in the owner's locker. Of course, that is more due to the fact that it sometimes stays in there for a year!
