Even when they're not on sale for an even lower price these kitchen 13-gallon trash bags are a good buy at their regular Sam's Club price. They're durable, flexible, I like the pull-string closure, and the box opens in a way that makes it easy to quickly dispense single bags right from the box when you're quickly grabbing them one-by-one to change the bag. They're near-perfect, the one flaw being that they've apparently discontinued the lavender scent, which was my favorite. The current available scent (Fresh 'n' Clean) isn't as appealing, though it's fine. And they have an unscented version for those who don't like the scented versions.

I usually buy the regular Member's Mark trash bags and unfortunately they were out so I thought I would try these. Huge mistake they slide into the trash can and even leak terribly. We used about 6 of them and went to the grocery store and bought more trash bags. I really wish they would bring back the regular trash bags, they never slipped into the can and never leaked.

When I first started buying Member's Mark trash bags they were 2 foot 3 inches tall and a perfect fit for my trash can. Now the bags are about two inches shorter and the top is always falling inside the trash can once the bag starts getting full. It seems to be a pattern with Member's Mark items that they make a better product than the name brand in the beginning, then start cutting back on the features that made it better. disappointing... now its no better than name brand and not a great deal.... certainly not "new and improved"!

The last 2 boxes of the power flex kitchen trash bags I have purchased have had a slit in the bags in a bunch of them! Several have been unusable. I've had to use 2 instead of 1 to be able to have a bag to put in my receptacle. Normally these bags are a great value but recently I've been disappointed with them.

I've been buying these bags for years and have rarely had a problem. They are a tight fit at the top but I've never had a bag slide down, which is all that matters to me. It takes alot to puncture the bag, which is always my fault. They stand up to being overloaded and sometimes dragged out to the trash can. Some ppl complained recently that their bags are now attached together in the box and you have to rip them at the perferations. I just bought my bags about 2 months ago and mine are not attached, you just pull it out of the box. If my next purchase has bags that I have to tear at the perferations, I would not be happy. Otherwise I highly recommend these bags.

While I see, based on the reviews, that this product has been around for over a year, we just finished our last bag in our last box that was the former product. For the record, we use a paper bag inside the tall kitchen bag before putting it into our trash can and this gets removed weekly when hubby does his weekly round of all trash cans in the house. Putting the size change aside (it doesn't affect how it fits in our brand new trash can in our brand new kitchen remodel), the thickness of this bag is such that if you put anything mildly moist in it, it bleeds through the bag and leaves mold in the bottom of the trash can. We were shocked to see mold in the bottom of our brand new trash can. For the last couple of weeks, using the old bags, no problem. New bag... mold! Obviously, we won’t be buying these again!

These bags are the best that I have tried. I have never had one rip yet and we fill them pretty good. Strong and durable and I love the lavender ones. I bought the force flex ones and they ripped just taking them out of the box and when I pulled them out of the trash they had sever holes but not these members mark brand. These are the best, I buy the 33 gallon size as well and love those too!

These members Mark tall kitchen bags are absolutely the best I've ever used. They are much stronger than any bag I've ever used. Oftentimes with other bags as I'm lifting the bag up my finger pokes through the bag. That never happens with this product. Skip the name brands and go right to this bag!

I've been using the pack of trashbags for about a year now and from my observation I will say about half the bags straight from the box had bad drawstrings. It doesn't mean they're unusable but the degree of usability per bag varried. Some bags the the string broke and to the worse the bag was ripped on the side. Some of the bags also had holes or weak spots which is another defect. Overall I'd go with half of the bags were in good condition and about 5 percent were completely unusable. They may have fixed the issue because like I said I bought these bags a year prior to this review.

I bought this a month ago. This is unlike the other trash bags I’ve used. I need to tear open a hole for the strings to come out. I don’t know if this is a common issue for all member Mark’s trash bags. I thought I could get used to it but after a month it’s still pretty annoying to have to do that. The trash bag is sturdy. My only complaint is that there’s no pre cut string.
