Best "scent" of any

This is by far my favorite of the garbage bags (yes, I realize that sounds weird). I'm a certifiable neat freak and despise florally scented things. This is a very mild, clean scent, and not obnoxious in anyway. I pray they keep this one on the market. I use citrus scents for everything (cleaning products).

Bring them back to the store.

I am disappointed that I can no longer buy this item in the club. They are now only selling the perfume scented bags in the store and I have to now purchase these Online.

Can overcome any smell

We were looking for bags with a scent to overcome keeping our trash in the garage during hot summers. These bags do the trick, but they do smell very strong themselves.

Rip easy

These are not strong at all. They rip just pulling them out of the can. They were on sale so equivalent in price to membersmark. So, I thought I would give them a try being a "Brand" name. I didn't give a 1 because not quite as bad as the thin clear ones. Members mark is 100% better. Will never buy again

Tie off wraps break often

The tie straps on most of these bags have lately been breaking with a slight pull. Something changed in their manufacturing. They didn’t break before. It’s probably about 40% of the bags that experience this. It couldn’t lift half of the capacity without the tie wraps breaking.

Not Max

MAX STRENGTH NOT!!!! I could not believe when I pulled the bag out to take to garbage it had holes all through it and it was just over 1/2 full. I was in shock!!! I usually buy Members Mark but there wasn't a scent I thought I could tolerate. I also missed the gray color in the description. Did not want gray but could have lived with that if they held up. Unbelievable !! As bad as the Dollar Store trash bags I bought because I was there %26 needed something to hold me over. I didn't think I had to take a picture of the bag with holes to post the review so it isn't wanting to allow the post.

Not good

These bags tore very easy and did not smell like lemon once pulled out of the box. I returned them to the store

Poor design. when you cinch the bag closed the handles pull out. Never had the problem with Members Mark bags.plus MM bags are less expensive and just as durable.

Not the same!!

I’ve been buying these trash bags for years after receiving a free sample in the grocery store. I just got a new box and they are so thin and flimsy now! The bottom of the trash bag is almost transparent and same with the top. They are not the same as what they used to be extremely disappointing.
