I found the Glad ForceFlex Plus bags to be a fair product. The bag itself was good, no tears or rips but that is comparable to the original ForceFlex bags. I don't think it had great odor shield but of course that can vary on what is in the garbage. My biggest issue was the pull string handles. They were flimsy, hard to pull and tie. I felt like the quality of the plastic used for the tie strings was inferior to the original ForceFlex bags as well as other Glad trashbags. I gave the rest of my free sample away after using 2 bags.
