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.

Quality control is down

The only problem with these bags is lately they have started breaking loose at the seams when the top has to be stretched to fit the garbage can. I would equate this to being an issue of quality control going down from previously. This seems to be a trend with many companies at this time.

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 good

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

Worst trash bag out there

I purchased a box of these supposed "MaxStrength" 13 Gallon Tall Kitchen bags for the first time and they are the most disappointing trash bag product I have ever purchased. I have used 4 and each one has been a problem. They are extremely thin and the draw strings openings at the top are only a few inches apart (either a major design flaw or production issue). All four bags that I have used have ripped around the top ridge when pulling them out of the metal container. I have had to double bag two of the four to throw them into the outside garbage bin. Glad needs to look into this and change the product or rebrand them as "ForceRip MaxWeakness - Eliminates the ease of getting rid of your trash"

horrible

I don’t normally review things, I don’t know if I got a bad batch of these or what, but they rip into shreds just getting them out of the box. Don’t even try to put any trash in them unless you like to pick pieces of trash off of your floor continuously. I will never ever buy these again!
