The problem I had with other bags is that the plastic is brittle and can crack, and leak air, if folded the wrong way. Are these more pliable?

Air leaks back in after about 1 day. Company gave me my money back to remove negative feedback.

I fill mine pretty full sometimes and haven't had any issues. The only issue that I have had is that the loops at the top of the bags...where u place the metal hangers through rip at the seam but I have sewn them back together and haven't had a problem since.

These are giant plastic bags, without the locking seal. I suppose if you got creative you could roll it and, with help, tape it up while still keeping the air out, but there is nothing to seal on the bag.

I own this system and have not had any problems with bags leaking. I have had a couple items stored for 6 weeks and still sealed thoroughly. My Mother has this same system and did have a few problems with random bags. She e-mailed the company and they sent her a coupon for a couple of boxes of free freezer bags.

i agree with some of the other answers ... the bag is not real sturdy and the plastic clips sometimes do not clip and hold well.

It really is all about getting a air free seal. As long as I have that I have no problems. I've been using them for years. Also, don't use the bags that are made for another brand. Have never had any luck trying to go cheaper.

Yes, the plastic is very pliable, but not cheap -- I've pulled mine out and shoved it back under my bed a hundred times since I bought it with no issues. As with all products with zippers, I would be careful of how I folded it to store it if I were to ever empty it -- one bend in a zipper can reek havoc! I have a Queen size bed and there is a good 2-3 feet of space left between the end of the bag and the foot of my bed. I fit about 16 winter sweaters (2 layers) in this bag, with room to spare for misc gloves/scarves, etc. It's a great product!

Yes....as opposed to BioBags which are .8 mil thickness, these are 1.0 which makes a big difference in how long you can go without it leaking or tearing.

No John, they are very troublesome. I think our machine just stopped working and we got rid of it. The bag fits, it didn't expand and fill up. It seriouslt may have been our cleaner and there is not a thing wrong with the bags. like I said, they fit well

Hi, the bags are thinner than a plastic grocery bag but thick enough that I haven't had a bag tear on me... and nothing's leaked on me either!

I guess I was lucky, I had no issues with these bags. I like them because I can throw my left overs in them and take to work. Great bags. Amazon is the best, I am a big fan. I save money by using Amazon, because I buy what I need. I would contact customer service sure they can help you out. :-)

I believe the bag is air tight, but not airless. Also I've never noticed them go stale at all from being in the open air for months.

My experience has been for short term storage it would be okay, but I don't believe the bags are completely airtight. I have had crackers and other things go stale when stored for long periods of time which tells me some moisture migrates through the plastic.

They're more durable than a sandwich bag. More like a freezer bag. They're worth the money.

I didn't get an image to your question so I think you are asking about the Ziploc Storage bags, if so they stay sealed for almost forever, you can unseal and reseal, they are the best!

Curious about your question I checked my two bags. I found only two that appeared to have "lines" in them but I could feel no crack or roughness on the surface other than the manufacturing ones. I've had mine several months without any problems other than one created by my husband when he put tumbler with unrinsed cubes plus soft drink back into freezer; those leaked when washed.

I use the bags for other household applications. Nonetheless, they are pretty much resistant. I have already carried 3 to 4 large soda bottles and boxes. Differently from ones I have got from supermarkets, the the bottom did not tear and the handles were resistant enough for the load. I do recommend them.
