I have always sworn by the quality of Hefty bags. This last box has been HORRIBLE. I tried to empty my cat boxes and with 25# of used litter the bag started with a small hole that as I tried to turn over to stop the leak just continued to rip more and more. When I grabbed the top my fingers just went through it. This was just the latest issue, have had multiple liquid leaks as well. Heavy Duty my @$&.

Very difficult to open these garbage bags. No amount of shaking will open them easily. I spend more time doing this. The drawstrings tear far too easily. I'm stuck having to wrap one torn drawstring around the top and to figure out how to completely close the bag. It's too much of a hassle. I want a bag that opens after one shake and it's easy to close. That's not this product.

OBVIOUSLY SCENTED. These are labeled "unscented," and every time someone in our house goes around getting the trash (not me, as these smell completely disgusting) I can very obviously smell them. I do not have allergies or chemical sensitivities or anything. I don't even think my nose is that sensitive. These trash bags very clearly have a scent and, whatever it is, it is NOT good. If I wanted a scented trash bag, I at least would choose a pleasant smell.

Worst bags I have ever used. I will be calling Hefty and reporting how much I dislike them since satisfaction is guaranteed. They stick together and it takes forever to pull them apart just to put something in them. I've never seen bags harder to get open.

I have always bought the same size bag but in the Members Mark brand except for this last time when my local club was out of them. So I bought the Hefty and haven't had any issues until now when I tried bagging leaves. Ha! What a joke!!! These bags are not heavy duty like the box says. No Way.... Do yourself a favor and get Members Mark.

Hefty is a well known name for the products they make and sell. Unfortunately, the Hefty Ultra Strong 33 gal. trash falls short of what I expected and have experienced from Hefty in the past. This bag is a lightweight bag that punctures easily and the drawstring is easily detached from one side of the bag. I have purchased the similar size bag made by Members Mark in the past, which is a heavier weight bag, less resistant to puncture and a stronger attached drawstring. I purchased the Hefty bag while on sale at Sam's and the first two bags that I used were bags I experienced two tears in the bags due to the thin bag material and one bag where the drawstring came unattached. If you are looking for a strong bag that holds a lot of trash, the Members Mark brand is a better bag.

I had to buy this brand because SAMs was out of their brand. I usually buy the Members Mark brand with the flaps and not the strings. Hefty tears very easily. Things that I never had to double bag with the other brand, I have to with Hefty. The bags are very thin and not thick. I hope Sams get their brand in stock by the time I get ready to order.

I bought a box of these thinking it was a good value but almost every bag has a hole along the bottom corner seam. They’re obviously defective, I either have to double bag, putting the seam on the opposite side or have trash leaking out. Not impressed. Hopefully not an issue for everyone but the box we purchased definitely is defective.

I bought these bags to get rid of old mulch in my garden. The bags were only less than half full and kept ripping. They can’t seem to handle much weight at all because they’re very thin. I ended up using some of my member’s mark brand kitchen trash bags and they held up fine. I don’t recommend these bags.

The only bags I use for anything outside. Strong enough for my yard waste or parties and trash collected outside. Every once in awhile a bag will rip on the top by the draw string as I’m stretching it over the can, very rare but still annoying. Can’t beat the price though so I’ll live with it.
