I've used ziploc freezer bags for years. But the new style "easy open" version is terrible and you've lost me as a customer once my current stock is gone. I always reused them multiple times, by turning them inside out to thoroughly wash them. Now not only can you not do that without tearing them along the seam, you can barely open them without tearing. There are few replacements that work as well but not only in the interest of sustainability but also because I'm tired of being ripped off by planned obsolescence, I'll have to find a new way to store things I want to keep fresh and dry.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My family has used these bags for years. I'm not sure what has changed but, these bags now leak. I knew that there was a problem with leaking so, when packing my ice for a trip to the beach I double bagged my Ice. To my dismay even that didn't stop the melted ice from leaking all over my cooler. unfortunatly for me I had put my fit bit in the cooler while I was swimming. I should have just worn it in the ocean. Ziploc bags have always been so good I don't know what has happened to the quality. I won't be using them again.

I use this product to store Swedish meatballs. I get a giant pack of meatballs then separate them into these storage bags. Once I put the bags in the freezer, the bags will not open. I have to cut the top off. What good is that? And it is frustrating because it happens every time, no matter what I freeze in the bags.

I used the 32 gallon storage bags to store 4 gallons of chili in a hotel refrigerator so I could use it as give away chili at a large chili cook off the next day. When I opened the fridge the next morning, the whole bottom of the fridge was covered with chili. Quite a mess, best of it I was not at home.
Heavy family users of this brand of bags but recently, both our Quart and Gallon size freezer bags have been failing at the seems/corners after removing from the freezer to defrost in the refrigerator. This has happened several times, as the first few we thought we had made a mistake and maybe punctured the bag. As you can imagine, this creates a large mess in our refrigerator as all the juices from, say our pork loin, meat leaks all over the inside. Not fun, as it leaked all down into the veggie drawer. Not something you want to deal with as you are trying to take care of two kids and feed your family. Use with Caution.

The formula has changed and so has the bag. They rip at the seam edge and do not seal completely. Bad decision to change a great product and cheapen it
