Customer Reviews of Glad ForceFlex Tall Kitchen Bags, 13 Gallon - 120 Bags
Customer Review: More mad than Glad: Nice bag, poor ties, and lots of frustration
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm not who usually does reviews on grocery items, but I thought I'd add to the existing reviews and give you folks the heads up on the Glad ForceFlex Tall Kitchen Bags. In short: the bag part works great, but the ties break easily on 90% of the bags used making it difficult to bundle them up.
On the bright side, the ForceFlex design worked well for me. The big box opens from the front and the bags are easy enough to grab hold of and remove. There is no constant feed mechanism, as the bags are not connected to each other by perforations. There are to cylindrical bundles on top and bottom and you simply grab and pull. The bags come out cleanly and there is no need to separate them from each other. This minimizes the chance of breaking one or the other bag upon removal. The bags themselves are uniformly sized and easy to place in a standard, 12 or 13 gallon, kitchen garbage can.
The FlexForce feature seems to work well enough in my hands. The bags themselves take a reasonable beating and seem to expand generously no matter what I put in them. With the exception of sharp objects that simply slice through the plastic, these bags are great for over stuffing.
The problem really is the red, plastic draw string that is used to close the bag. Whatever technology Glad invested in to manufacture the bags themselves was clearly ignored when it came to 'draw string technology.' The ties break easily on 90% of the bags that I used. This happens whether you remove the bag from the trash can first or try to tie up the thing while it rests within the receptacle. The loop of plastic just doesn't cut the mustard and sheers on its seam nearly every time. The most frustrating part is when you try tie the thing up after you over stuffed the bag itself. You have to empty some of the contents so you have enough room to jury-rig a knot on the top of the bag. What's the point of having a bag that you can over stuff, if you can't close it? Even the old fashioned method with twist ties worked better...
Another small gripe: these bags are made out of virgin plastic. No post consumer waste need apply here. I purchased my bags at a big-box store, impressed by the technology and the hype and overlooked the fact that these will help expand my carbon footprint.
Sadly, the purchase made me more mad than Glad. I have about 90 or so bags of frustration left to go. You may wish to forgo these more expensive options and go for a solid store brand. Or something with handle ties. Or something that works. The Kirkland Signature Drawstring Kitchen Trash Bags - 13 Gallon - Xl Size - 200 Count work just fine and the ties don't snap. Or you could try the Seventh Generation Trash Bags, Tall Kitchen, 13-Gallon, 30-Count Boxes (Pack of 12) [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging], clearly more expensive but more environmentally sound.
