| kld718's Full Review: Hefty Cinch Sak Tall Kitchen Bags |
Ive always trusted the most popular brands of trash bags because those are the products I have found to work the best. Hefty and Glad both make excellent products and I tend to switch between them as I find them on sale. I have yet to have a bad experience with either brand. I have tried other more generic and cheaper brands but I have to say that they just dont hold up to my trash.
Trash bags arent cheap, so I began purchasing the larger boxes of trash bags because they work out to be the cheapest and I now have more room to store them. I purchased the Hefty Cinch Sak Tall Kitchen Bags in the 13-gallon size in the drawstring type, measuring 2 ft. x 2 ft. 3 3/8 in. The value pack of 45 bags is usually priced between $3.99 and $5.99. I recently purchased a large box of 95 bags at Target for $8.99. You can purchase these bags at most grocery stores, drugstores, some hardware stores, office supply stores and even online at Drugstore.com.

As with most trash bags, they are very easy to use. Disposing of these bags is very easy, unlike bags without drawstrings where they are hard to tie or you have to struggle with those twisty tie things. The strings pull up right from the sides of the bags and I simply tie them up to prevent trash spillage. Then I can simply pull up the bag from the can, by the straps, and dispose of it.
You can use them for many other things also. When I lived in an apartment, I used these bags to carry clothing over to the laundry center on the complex property and to take other clothing to thrift stores. I have also used them to transport my niece and nephews toys from house to house. They are strong enough and durable enough to last. I have had a few experiences with these bags ripping because of overloading, but not enough to stop using them due to it being my fault. My aunt bought a box of these bags about a year ago and the drawstrings broke on every single bag, but I have yet to have that problem so I can only assume she had bought a defective box. I e-mailed the company about the box and they graciously provided her with a replacement.
You should always keep plastic products away from children to prevent suffocation. A child grabbing one of these bags and having it over their head can be extremely dangerous. I would recommend locking these bags in a cabinet or keeping them on a high shelf where they cannot be reached.
Overall, I do have to recommend these bags. I have not had enough problems with them to complain, especially since I have had the same problem with pretty much every plastic bag. Plastic is only made to withstand so much no matter what company makes it. These bags have proven themselves in my eyes.
