The seams on these bags blow out with the tiniest bit of pressure. As of lately we seem to have better luck with the cheaper brands. VERY disappointed!! 5 out of 17 bags we used broke.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I just received this and put it to work right away. I had some fresh fruit I wanted to freeze. I used the medium sized quart bags and they really work well. The thickness of the bag reassures me that there will be no freezer burn and the zip slider opener/closer makes it so easy to do and less messy than when my hands are went and I have to squeeze the two sides together. If you want to do freezing right, use Ziploc Slider freezer bags.
My first observation is that it has a wide bottom so that I could store leftover soup or larger items in it. My second observation is that the zipper is very easy to open. First I thought it was too easy and that it would come open on its own but that's not the case. You don't know how many times I have had trouble opening the bag to store my leftovers in. This bag makes it very easy to do so. These will be my replacement for all my storage bag needs.
