I have bee using Ziploc bags forever. I have the new gallon storage bags with the easy open tabs. Let's just say the tabs are not easy to open. They rip off and renders the bag useless. Not a happy camper!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I hate the new easy open tabs! They are very difficult to open and usually result in the tab tearing off and being left with a bag that is unusable. These are a horrible design!

I purchased this new design in your gallon storage bags. Every single bag malfunctions after opening and closing it several times. The top zip rips off the bag and the remaining zip closure does not provide an airtight seal. I have purchased your gallon bags for years and could actually get multiple uses out of one bag by rinsing it out and reusing. This new design doesn't even last through one use. These bags are not cheap and now they are unreliable. Please go back to the old reliable design.

The new "easy open tabs" are a joke. They tear the moment I try to open them, right near the zipper, and then it's just more difficult to open. They feel flimsy. They are easy enough to close, the zipper feels secure. Maybe too strong for the tab. Needs to be re-engineered.

For most household tasks, you are not going to need 2 gallon bags; however, for garden vegetable freezing (of course these are for storage and you will need to purchase the freezer bags) and for general storage and even for keeping the ham or turkey in the refrigerator the 2 gallon size is invaluable. Also I happen to prefer the double zipper to slide zippers which allow liquids to seep through and are also terrible at preventing freezer burn. Double zippers help keep frozen vitals fresher longer.
Have been a faithful Ziploc user due to the easy close "zipper" and the box tops. Unfortunately, now the bags are so hard to close, but worse, they are so thin. Can't store sharp food in them (e.g.: pretzels) without poking holes in the bag. Had to triple bag the freezer bags just to ensure my food won't get freezer burn. Won't be buying this brand anymore.

I have always purchased ziplock bags and had no problems with them. I purchased the new zip lock quart bags and every time I would go to zip them shut they would pull apart below the zipper. Not just me but my son also had them do the same thing! Also, the gallon bags with the new zipper came apart at the bottom seam and spilled everything in it! I have always trusted ziplock but these new ones are not the quality they should be!

Loved Ziploc products, however, the bags (gallon, quart, sandwich, snack) often won't reseal. The "Easy Open Tabs" are great, but the fact that we have had food messes and waste money throwing away bags due to this defect is frustrating and annoying, to say the least. Don't understand why the double-zipper technology fails after opening the bags only one time. Heading to the store to get a different brand of bags to finish organizing our jigsaw puzzles. BTW, we have puzzles in other brand name bags that are over two decades old, and they still open and close securely. Just sayin'.
