I like these very much as replacements for tall kitchen bags, which are really too tall for the size of my waste basket. After a moderate fill-up...off to the outside rubbish can it goes. Reasonable fills are not too heavy and rubbish/garbage contents are not sitting around for any length of time like with the tall bags. Strength is less than the tall bags, which some might consider a negative. I'm careful and don't put sharp objects within. Very cost effective too. I'm a believer and committed user.
