I have always purchased the Member Mark tall kitchen bags. I see they have improved them?? Really? I think they are terrible. They are fine if you have them in a trash can to fill, but if you take it out of the can, the orange drawstring will not stay out of the garbage you are trying to put in. I will not buy these again unless they go to the old style.

The “fresh clean scent” is SO strong and SO repulsive I cannot bear to have them in my house. Cannot bear to have them even in my garage or barn trash. When I opened the box I got it all over my hands. You know how when you are about to throw up your salivary glands work overtime? These trash bags do that to me. I will have to order from Costco now.

I have been buying these trash bags for years. Never ripped a single one. This new box, I have used maybe ten. And two of them have ripped taking them out of the can. And it is really difficult to find the strings to secure it closed. Absolutely awful.

These are great kitchen trash bags UNSCENTED - which are very hard to find, I don't like scented products so these are awesome, so far I have never had anything poke through the bags and have been using them for about 5 years. I find them to be stronger than some name brand bags and much cheaper GREAT PRICE - STRONG BAGS AND NO HORRIBLE SCENT If you need unscented bags for kitchen, these are the ones for you !!

The drawstring don't seem to be held together very good at the seam. If it doesn't break off when I try to fit it over the trashcan (more often break off than not), than it'll break apart when I try to tie the 2 sides together. First I thought maybe the bag was too full or too heavy, but when the load was only half full and very light, the tie still broke at the seam. It's very annoying I must say.

These new bags are horrible! The old ones were taller and much more sturdy than this "power flex" they are selling now. Why change such a good quality product to one that is now a low quality product? I won't be purchasing these again unless Sam's goes back to the old ones.

There are a few negative reviews here, and I'm wondering if we used the same product! I think the scent on mine is lavender. It was strong when I first lined the garbage can but it balanced out within a few hours. The bags are overlapped in the box and are easy to pull out. The fit is great as is strength and durability. Very economical! Great purchase!

Let me start by saying that I have purchased Member's Mark garbage bags for years and found them to be a good value for the money. My recent purchase of the "power flex" version, however, has been very disappointing. The orange bag tie breaks on almost every bag! It's as if they haven't been properly put together on one of the seams, as every tie has pulled away from that same area. I am about a third of the way through this box and I would say that only about six bags have not had the tie break! I will probably finish this box, but I don't think I will bother with these again.

I have always bought these bags but like some of the other reviewers I thought this last purchase was just a bad batch as they no longer stretch to fit the garbage can without tearing which makes it impossible to pull the drawstring!!! And they are also shorter. There should be a recall on these bags!!! WILL NEVER PURCHASE AGAIN!!!

I've been buying these bags for years. Loved them. They were a awesome value. Since they have changed the bags to be connected and to be torn at a "perforated" edged they suck. They do not tear were they are supposed to. Now rips into the next bag. They are now worthless. Will be returning mine tomorrow! Go back to how you had them. Not connected and rolled together so you just pull and a bag comes out.
