Favorite Trash bags
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the best bags ever. They are very sturdy. They have a great stretch ability to them. These bags fit the trash can with a tight snug fit. This is great. You don’t have to worry about the bag falling down into the can. I really feel secure and confident using these bags. Overal, this is a great trash bag.

Disappointing
I bought this for my kitchen trash… it leaks and the tie band tears off when knotting it closed.
We tossed them out in the trash.

Poor quality
Have used your kitchen bags for years without issues. This year about 40% of the bags in each box split on the bottom upon opening even before trash in it. Not sure what changed but I’ll be looking for a different brand.

First time purchasing Glad ForceFlex tall kitchen. Everyone I’ve used has fallen apart and cannot be tied closed. What a waste of money.

Handles Always Break
I give up. I really tried to like these, because the scents are awesome, HOWEVER, each time we try and tie the bag, the handle breaks. Not just now and then but almost EVERY time! Just not going to purchase again. Waste of money

Terrible Quality now
What has happened to the quality of these bags. I thought that maybe I had a “one off” bad batch of bags. But these rip EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! A Kleenex box corner pierced right through the bag. I am tired of having leaky trash in the bottom of my trash bin. Fix these bags!!!!

Disappointed-black tie straps detach from bag
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used these for years happily. I recently purchased 2 boxes of 110 bags and I'm disappointed that the first three bags I used, the black ties at the top came unsealed from the bag. It was impossible to tie up the bag and difficult to carry out to the garbage cans from the kitchen trash can. They're expensive and...

The new version is poorly made.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These bags used to be phenomenal, now they rip every time I use them. I thought maybe I had a bad batch but now I know they’ve been remade much thinner and worse.

This is the second large box we purchased in two different scents where the strings are not aligned. They’re not across from one another any longer which makes its difficult to close the bag tight.

Poor fit that does not match their brand sizing
These trash bags say they are 13 gallon sized. They are not! They are significantly smaller. It is a waste of money to use these bags. I'm tempted to throw them away, another waste of money. Instead, I will write reviews so everyone knows glad trash bags are a fraud. And I will buy other brands from now on.

Great trash bags
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super glad I got these! They are a perfect fit for my trash can. I tend to really stuff my trash bags full so I don't have to take it out as often and these haven't torn on me once! They also tie nicely, so I don't have any worries when I do take it out.
