Hefty Ultra Strong Tall Kitchen Trash Bags review 13 Gallon Unscented 80 Count

Description

Impressive Strength and Durability

I’ve tested plenty of kitchen trash bags over time, and I’ll admit, not all of them live up to their claims. The Hefty Ultra Strong Tall Kitchen Trash Bags, 13-gallon size, are surprisingly resilient. These bags boast 6-in-1 Protection, which includes resistance to punctures, leaks, and rips. Whether I’m tossing coffee grounds, heavier leftovers, or even sharp packaging, they hold up without splitting. You’d think the bag would stretch or tear under pressure, but the flexible strength really makes a difference. The break-resistant grip drawstring also deserves a shoutout – it’s sturdy and easy to pull without snapping, which has been a lifesaver during cleanup.

Odor Control That Actually Works

If you’ve ever dealt with kitchen trash that smells like it’s been fermenting for days, you’ll appreciate the Arm and Hammer Odor Control technology built into these unscented bags. Even without added fragrances, the bags keep unpleasant smells at bay. Let’s just say I’ve had no embarrassing moments when guests walk into the kitchen. The way the Arm and Hammer technology neutralizes odors is a game-changer, making these bags perfect for households with kids or pets.

Easy-to-Use Design

From the moment I opened the box of 80 bags, I noticed the simple yet functional packaging. The unscented polyethylene material feels durable without being unnecessarily bulky. What I really like is the convenience of the tall, 13-gallon size—it fits snugly into the average kitchen trash can without awkward bunching or slipping. The drawstring closure system is not only secure but also makes carrying the trash out to the curb a breeze. Even when the bag is full to the brim, the drawstring stays intact and doesn’t cut into your hands.

Key Benefits

• 6-in-1 Protection ensures leaks, punctures, and rips are rare.
• The Arm and Hammer Odor Control technology keeps smells under control without perfumes.
• Flexible strength allows the bags to withstand heavy or sharp items.
• Secure drawstrings simplify tying and transporting trash.
• Fits most standard kitchen bins with its 13-gallon capacity.

Areas for Improvement

Not everything is perfect, and these bags do have their quirks.

• They’re slightly thinner than some premium competitors, which might make people hesitant to overfill.
• The drawstring mechanism, while sturdy, can get twisted if you’re not careful when pulling it.
• For some users, the lack of a scented option could be a downside if they prefer masking odors with fragrance.

Competing Products

Compared to other brands, these trash bags hold their own. For instance, I’ve tried Glad ForceFlex bags, which are also durable but often feel bulkier. While Glad bags have a similar odor control system, I found that the Arm and Hammer technology in the Hefty bags works more effectively without smelling artificial. Simplehuman custom-fit liners are another option, but they’re pricier and less flexible in terms of fit for standard bins. The Hefty Ultra Strong bags strike a good balance between reliability, size, and cost.

Smart Spending

Considering the features and performance, the cost-efficiency of these trash bags stands out. While they aren’t the cheapest option on the market, they offer excellent value for money because of their durability and odor control capabilities. I’d say they’re worth the investment, especially for anyone tired of dealing with ripped trash bags or overpowering garbage odors.

Conclusion

This is where most reviews would wrap up, but I’ll just say, these bags have made my daily kitchen cleanup far less stressful. Whether you’re tossing leftovers, sharp objects, or heavier trash, they’re tough enough to handle it all. The combination of reliable strength, odor control, and ease of use makes them a solid choice for any household.
