Cons:

• "The only weird thing is that, every time I have bought these on amazon, the box looks like it was used as a soccer ball."
• "Never have I seen garbage bags by glad labeled medium. The size of the box in the picture matches the size box of 13 gallon bag I always purchase. So quite deceiving."
• "This doesn't even come close to fitting an 8 gallon trash can."
• "The bag is the right size, on the large side, for our on the door kitchen garbage can. The bags seem sturdy enough, but I find the Febreeze scent overpowering."
• "They tear incredibly easily. I think every single bag I’ve used ends up tearing."
• "Keeps ripping down the side. And no I'm not overfilling the bags because if I'm REALLY lucky it'll rip down the side before I even put it in the can."
• "These bags are awful. Every single bag I’ve used so far has ripped."

• "Always a good smell on any fresh bag."
• "Great quality product, it really absorbs the odor and the bag itself has a really nice pleasant scent."

Cons:

• "These bags have such obnoxious degree of scent that I have to keep them outside under my deck."
• "I am very pleased with the bags themselves but the strong chemical odor is so bad I have to close the door to the room I use them in."
• "But the fragrance that they added, the so-called febreze freshness, is so overpowering that it makes me nauseous in my home office."
• "The scent they applied to these trash bags is gawd-awful."
• "The scent is horrible and smells like garbage."
• "The scent is so strong you can almost taste it."

• "Sometimes paying a bit more for brand name is worth it and these bags are def worth it... never had one rip or tear and drawstrings are super strong."

Cons:

• "The box is insufficiently durable. And since the bags separate along perforations, pulling one out stresses the box."
• "as a name brand i was looking for something more. like durability. anything heavy will break the edge if you try to grab it."
• "They all have a line where they break."
• "Can't believe how weak these bags are. Flimsier than cheapy grocery store bags, they rip so easily on anything."

• "The draw string rim keeps tearing and if there is any fluid in the garbage it will slightly seep out of the bags."
• "For name brand, these were worse than the dollar tree trash bags."
