I am so disappointed in the new "easy open" bags. They tear EVERY time you open them. The bags seem to be thinner also. I usually purcahse a case at a time and am so disappointed in the quality. Big waste. I don't need "easy open", I need "stays sealed".

I used to always use the Ziploc Freezer bags with the double zipper (quart and gallon) to freeze and store food in the refrigerator and freezer. I recently started using the bags with the easy open tabs but the quality of the bags has really depreciated. It seems like every other bag will leak as soon as I put anything with liquid in them. Doubling the bag only works some times. They are leaking from the bottom of the bag and not the zippered area. I'm afraid to freeze raw meat because when it comes time to defrost it, the blood leaks out all over the refrigerator shelves. The plastic also seems more stiff and not as pliant as they used to be.

For years I have used only Ziploc bags. That all changed when a few years ago Ziploc changed their highly successful design and switched to a new seal and bag top called 'Easy Open Tab". Quite frankly it may be easier to open, but you'll never know as they are IMPOSSIBLE to close and get a good seal on. Basically SC Johnson ruined the product line with a completely untested and unnecessary change. I can't buy their product anymore and am now forced to use competitor products which actually work and make an easy seal. Really a shame that they ruined their entire product portfolio with this terrible change.

Great bags for freezer storage. I go through these like crazy and this is the best price I've found. With the state of our economy, it's nice to put bargains in the freezer and these bags do a great job of protecting from freezer burn and transfer of content odors, etc.

These bags used to be much stronger and used to last for more than one or two openings. Cheap stuff now, from now on I will manage without them. I will not purchase these freezer bags again. It's quite unfortunate since I had been using them for years.

I have to add my two cents worth to the poor reviews. I used to reuse these bags several times to freeze baked goods and waffles. I still have some bags of the old design and they are holding up much better than the new ones. I've notices several new bags have ripped at the sides near the opening, and all the manual seals fail after the second or third time I open and attempt to reseal them. the colored strips break and seals fail. I'll never buy this design again. It's easy to use - but only one time each!

my favorite bags. I read something recently saying that the storage bags were only slightly thinner than the freezer bags and could be used equally. I ordered both and the freezer bags feel better, and stand up way better in the freezer. the freezer bags are a superior product and worth the extra $

I have used nothing but Ziploc Freezer bags exclusively for YEARS. After purchasing these gallon freezer bags, I have found the quality to be what you would expect with a VERY CHEAP off-brand. The bags leak and get pin-holes in them. They do not seal well and they are VERY thin. Ziploc - please bring back your old design of the double zipper bags. The quality that we all have come to depend on from Ziploc. Until then, you have a faithful customer who will not buy Ziploc products.

We recently went on a family vacation, and as usual, I purchased Ziploc products for food and other uses, buying several boxes of both quart and gallon size bags. Several bags from each box split down the side before I'd even had a chance to put anything into them. The bags were purchased from different retailers, and even in different states, so I don't think it was a batch issue.

I have torn SO MANY of these bags. I've torn them when I get a brand new one out of the box. I've torn ones that have been lightly used. I've torn them even when I think I'm being careful. The Easy Open Tab is terrible. Until you change your design, I'm buying store brands.
