I like these bags very much, and the concept of them even better! The only things I've had a slight problem with were that they are a little short for our kitchen waste basket (perhaps the leaf & lawn bag size might work though!), so overfilling the trash can is a big no-no (hard to tie!) They can start to degrade while still in the basket (doing their job!) so, that too is good encouragement to take out the trash more frequently and they are a tad bit expensive... I wish the government would allow using environmentally beneficial products such as these as tax write-offs!

I like that these bags are biodegradable, but they are too thin and "sweat" for normal kitchen use, and we compost, recycle, etc. already. I double bag with these! They seem a bit shorter too so don't fit into our trash can without sagging edges. We've switched to 7th generation and we are happy with those. We use the smaller size for our food scraps and are happy with those.

Love the bags, love the idea! A couple of downsides though: 1. bags start to biodegrade right in the trash bin, so just take your trash out more often, which is not so bad! 2. No string, so make sure not to overflow your trashcan. Other then that - no other bags are like them!

I'm very happy with these, and haven't experienced any problems with them tearing or breaking down. We do tend to fill them up within 3-4 days, so I don't know how they would hold up if they sat around longer than that. The only drawback is the expense, but it's one of those things that I feel good about doing, so I buy them anyway.

I *love* these. We use them in a big trash can in the kitchen, and have never had a problem. Some common sense suggestions: don't let wet animal/plant matter sit against the bag for a week, pour liquids down the drain, and don't expect the bag to hold up more than one week when it's full of garbage. Recycling cuts down on the amount of trash in the bag, and I typically fling old food into the flowerbeds for the ants and possums to enjoy rather than storing it in a trash bag indoors. If you have trouble filling the bag before it starts to break down, consider the smaller size. If you find the bag too small, perhaps generating less waste and/or recycling is the solution. If you just keep in mind that these bags are biodegradable and treat them as such (like, don't fill it full of rotten tomatoes and leave it for a week), you will have the same experience that makes me a very happy customer.

These bags are great. In regards to other comments about them breaking, an earlier review was correct. If you throw away a lot of wet things, and your trash is in a warm/sunny area, they will start to break down. The best way to avoid this is to get a compost bin and compost all food scraps. Another solution is to take out the trash right after you know you throw away something wet. Yet another solution is just to bring your can out to your bin and dump it inside, thus not needing to carry the bag out at all. I found that after getting a compost bin, my trash is much more light weight and I have a lot less, so I have no issue with these bags. Do note that if your trash goes to a landfill, these do not help it biodegradable because landfill trash doesn't biodegrade; it is deprived of the oxygen and and light needed. But, you are helping to lessen your reliance on big oil because regular plastic is petroleum based.

Ridiculous. I'm all for being 'green' but what's the point if nobody buys them because they are too expensive or really poorly made?

Oh, this is going to break my green heart... I bought a couple boxes of these bags and have been using them, but-- maybe because it is warmer outside (and in!) or maybe because we don't create enough garbage to take it out more than once a week-- the bags keep breaking! It looks like they actually begin to breakdown in our household trash can. It was a mess. Now, we are back on the earth-hating white plastic bags while I look for something else to try.

I am now on my third order of the kitchen bags. I love using these bags rather than plastic, and will continue to buy them. My only complaint/caution is that they sometimes start to biodegrade right there in the kitchen trash bin! This is especially problematic when throwing away wet food waste (banana peels, eggs shells, etc.). I suppose this is a small price to pay for saving the world. :) One solution to the biodegrading/leaking problem is to put food waste into something else already in the trash, like an empty milk carton, and prevent direct contact with the BioBag.

They aren't the strongest, most durable bags, but the fact that they are biodegradable makes it more than worth it. Just don't overfill the bag, as it's hard to tie them off.
