Amazon Basics Flextra Kitchen Drawstring Reviews Summary

Pros:

• "These trash bags are just as good, if not better than name brand bags."
• "These are strong. They don't tear or leak."
• "These garbage bags were very strong and great quality for the price."
• "They do manage to handle overloading and excessive weight without ripping or tearing."
• "These Trashbags, were surprisingly strong."
• "The bags are made of high-quality materials that are strong and durable, so you won't have to worry about them ripping or tearing easily (from my experience)."
• "These are high quality trash bags, every bit as good as their more expensive competitors."

Cons:

• "Bad quality never again."
• "Every bag from our box has ripped before we could take it out fully (and they are not full or particularly heavy)."
• "These bags tear every time when putting into the bin."
• "The draw strings keep breaking off at the welded spot on the end as soon as you pull on them."
• "Bags are very thin and keep tearing on the sides at the top where the red tie is located."
• "Top seam on one of the sides is poorly manufactured so that the bag immediately rips and the string comes out every single time."
• "The plastic is thin and full of wrinkles."

Price and Value

Pros:

• "They were a little less expensive than the brand we usually purchase. I plan to purchase them again."
• "For the price of this box of 120 trashbags, and the Quality, I am extremely happy with my purchase."
• "They are priced for people on a budget, VERY strong, and are cheaper than store brand."
• "These save you money and work just as well as the more expensive brands."
• "These are less expensive than Glad and Hefty, and work just as well."
• "When they're on sale, makes for a lot of bags at little cost."
• "Prices are so high in the stores for trash bags so I checked Amazon. These bags are cheaper and way better than the bags I get in the store."

Cons:

• "Would not buy these ever again!"
• "Just buy name brand if you're actually going to use them for your kitchen trashcan. These bags rip and tear SO easily - even if they aren't full."
• "Avoid, the cost savings aren’t worth it with this."
• "At this rate, I'm wasting just as much money on these bags, so I may as well go back to the expensive brand for the better quality."
• "The cheap price is not worth the aggravation."
• "Do not buy! Spend a little extra on name brand bags so you don’t have to worry if your garbage will be left on the floor because of a rip in these poor quality bags."
• "Never seen a cheaper made trash bag! The last thing I wanted was a giant box of trash bags that don’t hold the lightest of trash."

Fit and Size

Pros:

• "The size is perfect for my kitchen trash can. The bags are thick and sturdy and holds a lot of kitchen trash."
• "The 13 gallon trash bags were compared to the Kroger brand trash bags and I couldn't tell much of a difference. The bags fit snug into the can and didn't fall when being stuffed with trash."
• "These fit a 13 gallon kitchen trash can and they work just as good as the Glade bags."
• "I was happy to see that these bags fit my 13 gallon trash can well, since some trash bags advertise 13 gallons but don't actually fit."
• "The size of the bags is perfect for my trash can."
• "These bags fit nicely in our kitchen sized garbage can."
• "The AmazonBasics Flextra Tall Kitchen Bags are great! They fit well on our trash can and they don’t fall in."

Cons:

• "They don’t fit my trash can very well."
• "The top of the bag is too wide/ big for the trash can so it constantly has to be fixed."
• "They decided to save $0.001 per bag by shortening the opening to the bag and the drawstring. It is next to impossible to put the trash bag around the lip of your trash receptacle without tearing the bag and drawstring."
• "They never stay secure around our trash can."
• "This bag doesn't hold well around the top of the garbage can. As the bag fills, it collapses into the can."
• "Seem like decent quality BUT if you buy for a standard 13 gallon kitchen garbage can, they will not fit! The length is off, so you throw something in and the bag collapses on itself cause it’s just too small."
• "And it doesn’t fit my 13 gallon trash can around the top rim."

Odor and Scent

Pros:

• "Also no noticeable odor."
• "I’ve been purchasing and using these trash bags for a year. We have a large family and go through a lot of trash bags. I purchase the unscented and they have no noticeable scent."
• "They don't sink up the house."
• "It doesn’t have overwhelming smell, which is a plus for me."
• "I appreciate that there is two scent, as the scented ones tend to give me a headache, and I know the toxins in artificial fragrance can be so bad for us."
• "These are very durable and there’s a lot that can fit inside after removal from your bucket.. Nice smell to them as well."
• "Very durable, good scent, and they tie closed."

Cons:

• "When the delivery was left on my front lanai, I went out to get the package. The air was filled with this disgusting perfume smell like pesticide spray."
• "These bags definitely have a chemical fragrance. Not 'unscented' as advertised."
• "Also the odor control is bad, an issue I've not had in the past."
• "These trash bags rip far too easily."
• "Every single bag will split at the seams causing a huge mess."
• "The drawstring tears every time a new bag is put on the trash can."
