I buy these all the time and really liked them but the past 2 boxes have been bad. they rip around the top when I pull to close them.I had a few do i before but it was few and far between but the last 2 boxes make me want to change to Sams brand. What happens is when I pull to close the strip rips out of the top. I use about 10 or more a week for garbage and have to cut back on what I put in them. They used to be able to hold alot but had to watch what I put in because of the tops ripping.

BEWARE! These are "expandable" aka easy to rip through and tear. Now I have 90 bags that require double bagging of trash. 2 bags per can just to make it to the dumpster without tearing. Not a cost savings to me at all. My fault for not noticing when I ordered, hope to save someone else the aggravation.

I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. I am always looking for a good garbage bag that will not only hold everything that I put in it, but that has handles that don't break either. This Hefty Ultra Strong trash bag arrived at my house just before Thanksgiving, which was a good thing because I hosted this year. These bags held all of the aluminum casserole pans, soda cans, and used paper plates without ripping the sides out. The drawstrings were also strong enough to not rip out or break when I lifted it out of our large garbage can. The only downfall to this bag, and most bags really, is that it doesn't mask the stinky garbage odor. The price seems reasonable for the amount of bags you get. I would happily recommend these to family and friends.

First of all, let me say... these bags DO expand. They are stretchy and flexible. However, they tear more easily than I would have expected. I use them just for regular kitchen trash; not even for heavy duty purposes. They develop small holes at the pressure points. It's not enough to cause a catastrophic failure of the bag, but there will be holes. Is this a huge thing? Maybe not. If there are ants in the area.. maybe so. My point is that bag that's advertised as "heavy duty" should not develop a rip just from being poked by the corner of a Chinese food container.

I've been a Sam's club member now for about 20 years and have always bought members mark brand trash bags and been very satisfied with the quality of the bags. These bags are used in a trash can in the garage for lawn garden debris so the ties are are of importance as well. On my last trip to Sam's, my normal choice bags were out of stock and had to buy the "on sale" Hefty brand . Then that's when my problems start, the blue ties on these bags break every single time!!!! And then the bags tear if too full. Boy, I regret this purchase and cannot wait till this box is used up. There will never ever be a Hefty trash bag in this house again.

Okay bag

Everything is good

The bag break too easily

These bags are awful! They do not easily open and they tear easily. Do not waste your money. The members mark bags are far better.

They rip when you try to remove from trash can. Please bring back Glad Forceflex 33 Gallon bags they are the best bags
