I have used ziplock products for at least 30 years. I have been very disappointed in the quality in the last few months. When you try to open the bag it pulls apart and I have wasted so many bags. I am thinking I need to change brands.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I used to like the old bags as the opening at the top was larger and no pouch at the bottom. I use them to freeze meat and cheese which I flatten so they stack easier in the freezer...these new bags are not very helpful and perhaps both should be made.
As you can see from comments, many are unhappy with what ever change has been made to your freezer bags(for me specifically the 1gal freezer bags). Difficult to open the ziploc bag straight out of the box, more often than not ripping along the ziploc! Yes, I am sure you have a large part of the freezer bag market, but what ever you did WILL change that. Unless your manufacturing process changes, you have lost me as a customer for this size bag. Good luck!
The stay open feature is terrible. I have been looking for the regular freezer gallon bags and it seems they all have been converted to this new feature. I will be searching for a different brand bag.
I just bought these 2 gallon Ziploc freezer bags 0MG. So so cheap. The plastic or whatever this material is is so thin. They couldn't use any less material.
I too purchased the large freezer bags and had issues with the bottom leaking. The design of the bag seems to be lighter and thinner than the older bags I had purchased in he past. The reason I purchased the ZipLoc brand is because I wanted a good seal for my meat items, turns out they were a disappointment. I ended up double wrapping the meats which costs more, so in the end I didn't save any money and actually costed more. This was earlier this summer, I recently checked the freezer and the double wrap seems to help a lot. Regards

Oh no! We're truly sorry to disappoint you, Ken. While we expect Ziploc® Freezer Bags to be leak proof for all of your storage needs, this certainly doesn't sound like the quality we expect from any of our bags. We'd like to have the chance to help make this right. In order to do so, please give us a call at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays, 8 AM to 5 PM CT) and share reference number: 22188813. Hope to speak soon! -Alyssa, SC Johnson Consumer Care
I've noticed that recent freezer bags I purchased are noticeably thinner than older ones. And as many have mentioned here, they easily rip apart at the top seam line after one use. Sadly this seems to always be the trend for many consumer products. Newer versions are inferior to the old ones just so it seems like the manufacturer is maintaining their prices.

We're sorry to hear this! While our Ziploc® Freezer Bags recently added the Stay Open Top Crease, Stay Open Score and Stand-Up Bottom; we wouldn't expect this to effect the thickness of our bags. Since this is certainly isn't the quality we expect from any of our bags, we'd like to further help. In order to do so, please give us at call at 1-800-558-5252 (M-F 8 AM to 5 PM CT) and provide your reference number: 22174837. Chat soon! -Alyssa, SC Johnson Consumer Care
