I was looking forward to tab opening---trusting it would be easier for me and my arthritic hands---but sad to say these bags are actually inferior to previous---my most used size is the "medium"---but the bags are smaller, lighter weight than the old and if tugging to open to hard it splits up the side top. I wish to know if I can find the old one's anywhere for sale??? Sorry for bad review, but your product testing division must be lacking!!!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a pioneer in the "tabbed" bags! Many people have arthritic hands like I do, whether they are young or old. What a blessing to not be struggling when opening a bag. Keep up the good work. You're the best!

Loved Ziploc products, however, the bags (gallon, quart, sandwich, snack) often won't reseal. The "Easy Open Tabs" are great, but the fact that we have had food messes and waste money throwing away bags due to this defect is frustrating and annoying, to say the least. Don't understand why the double-zipper technology fails after opening the bags only one time. Heading to the store to get a different brand of bags to finish organizing our jigsaw puzzles. BTW, we have puzzles in other brand name bags that are over two decades old, and they still open and close securely. Just sayin'.

Have used Ziploc gallon storage bags for years. When you first released the easy open bags they worked great. Now the last three boxes I purchased the top rips off before I can open the bag to use it. Not only very frustrating but expensive because I have frequently have to use a second bag. So double the cost to store the leftovers.

These bags seem to tear pretty easily from the top down along one side or the other. I have to be really careful when opening them to make sure I'm not opening them too wide to cause them to tear. Unfortunately, the side tearing even a little can render them no longer air tight. It's a pain...

I hate the new Ziploc Easy Open bags for all the reasons others have mentioned. They are hard to close, the top portion of the bag rips almost every time I open them, and they are just garbage!!! I've been a faithful Ziploc purchaser for years. I use a lot! These new bags just feel of inferior quality. I'm a teacher and I use the bags for students to take home a book every day in, and I've been through twice as many bags this year because they keep splitting open on the sides and the kids loose their books. More money on Ziplocs means I have less money to spend on other important things for my classroom. Please go back to the old bags or I will be looking for another brand!

These bags have a newer zip/closure that is extremely hard to open. Since it's so hard to open, if you give it a little tug, it rips the bag right away... Very disappointed in this product... For some reason the other Ziploc bags are great, just this one is the problem...

As a former biology teacher, I remember when an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of paper would fit nicely into a 1 gallon Ziploc bag...this was great for messy experiments and keeping lab papers dry. I've been an administrator for the past 18 years and someplace in that time the 1 gallon bag changed! WHY?

Use these for dividing up bulk buys from Sam's. Put hamburger in and flatten. Makes it stackable, thaws in microwave or laying out faster. Ziplock is firm and doesn't split open easily. Use for kids supplies crayons and makers. Hold up well with kids.keep in car for emergency wet clothes, trash, dirty clothes, etc.

i received these free as a sample to try. they feel really heavy duty although they are just regular ziplocs. the tabs are easy to open and close and it feels secure once it is zipped. I would use these for everyday needs, but also consider them for things that need long time storage.
