The old 39 gal "Large Yard" bags are better than these 39 gal "Power Guard" bags in my honest opinion. This is my first experience with these bags, the bag is hard to open up. The area where the Power Guard pattern is, sticks to the point that it has to be pulled apart. It took 8-10 times flipping the bag to nearly open it up. Really slows down progress opening these bags. The old Large Yard bags took 1-2 flips to open, never had to pull apart. Not happy with this style bag. It appears the Large Yard bags have been replaced be these Power Guards. The Power Guard 13 gal bags are fine, it's just the 39 gal with this issue.

I've been buying these bags for years and they've been the best. Not so with the last box. I don't know what changed but these bags break at the top seams when I put them in a 33 gallon trash can. Every single bag from this box has done this. The color of the red tie strips seems a duller red than 'm used to seeing. Change in manufacturer? I don't know but I will try one more box. If they still tear I won't be buying them again. Review form would not let me add pictures.

I ordered canned tuna, canned chicken, canned beef, and all the cans arrived damaged because they were just thrown loose in a big box. Now I have to make a special trip to Sam’s to return each and every one of those purchases. Other than that, I was pleased with the timely delivery and the fact that all of my items were accounted for.

Usually I need two bags , one while it's in the garbage can, and another one to put that one in after it tears apart from trying to get the full bag out. Not with these bags, only needed one!! Very surprised with the cheap price , great quality, They will stretch, but don't break apart, in the side or bottom and the plastic string on top stayed together. Pulled the plastic string and tied the bag. I will not use any other bag in the future, they are saving me money , by using one one, and with the inexpensive price.

Large and very strong it's the only bag I use

We have used these for years.

HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE OF THESE BAGS

I needed tougher bags and exchanged them

Just the right fit for the big trash cans

I keep a box of these trash bags in the garage, they are great for outdoor use as well.
