I've used ziplock for years, now I'm looking for a new brand. The new "easy tabs" rip from the bag making it nearly impossible to open. The quality of the plastic has down down and more than half the time now they leak. Hopefully they make some changes soon.

New is not necessarily better. These bags seem thinner even tho they state freezer on them. I'm not sure they will keep foods fresh as long as the "old" version. I had no problem filling the old non "stand and fill" bags buy simply placing them in a large glass or narrow pitcher to fill. I guess time will tell on these, however the quality doesn't seem as good.

Better than the competition, but several limitations. Bags hold up well for short-term, drier items. I froze blueberries and raspberries in gallon bags and they did quite well. I could open and close the bags several times without much trouble. After awhile, the bags did not seal quite as well. For items with more liquid in them, the bags are okay initially, but the corners start to leak, especially after thawing something frozen. They are also not great for use as ice packs. Even with two bags, both sealed, they leaked when the ice melted.

I have been using Ziploc bags for years, but someone broke them! The new design of the easy open tab makes the bags break. I have to use scissors to cut them open! I don't see how these passed any kind of testing! I will be buying a different brand for all of my storage needs.

The new Freezer bags, which are no longer blue, leak. I bought them and would use to store food such as tomato sauce that I made in big batches. When I thaw out the food now they leak! This has happened 3 times now so I will NEVER buy again unless they go back to the blue stronger bags.

I have been a loyal customer for many years because of the quality of these bags. Unfortunately due to the new redesign that will end. Not only are the new bags very thin and plastic feeling they do not seal with any reliability. What brought me to finally post this comment, which I never do, is that fact that I just had to clean up marinade from my refrigerator for the 2nd time due to the faulty design of these bags. I can only guess that this new design is more environmentally friendly and likely lest expensive but if Ziploc does not make a change soon it will lose sales.

These have been my go to bag for everything since they came on the market. A free sample in the mail won my loyalty. Great for protecting food, papers, books, fabrics, tools, meds, storage, travel, crafts, organizing, gardening. A must have with my large aquarium. The quality of the freezer bags has become terrible. I have more failures that successes. When loading the bag very often the ends of the zipper come apart and the bag splits down the side. Will not work for anything with weight such as a book or tools anymore. The plastic is no longer thick enough to freezer meat on bones. The bones do not have to be sharp to poke a hole. Anything rubbing against a bag containing something hard, does not have to be sharp will put a hole in the bag. Sadly I can no longer give 5 stars or recommend Ziploc freezer bags.

I've used Ziploc products for years and have always been happy with them. But the new tab opening is not good. I've used it on a couple of bag sizes, and in each case the tab tears off usually with the first opening. I hope they will listen to all these complaints and go back to the previous zip lock style. I'm giving fairly high ratings to the below questions . . . because a bag will keep me organized, and protect what's inside with the first use . . . but I'm giving a low rating to Easy to Use . . . because it may be "easier" but I don't like the fact that the tab tears off and then is nearly impossible to re-lock the bag. I would recommend Ziploc products in a minute if they would return to the old style of zip lock.

I hate the new zip lock bags. We bought the gallon size with "easy open" tabs... No, they are not easily opened, and regularly the plastic fails before the seal can be unzipped and the bag opened. Some people may say that's good, but what is the use of bagging something if you cant then get it OUT of the bag??

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.
