Product review (5 stars): Great, inexpensive alternative to the recommended bags
I did not want to pay what I believe was about twice the price for only 15 compactor bags. These bags work great. First, they are much deeper than my Kitchen Aid compactor. This means that I can fold thte bag over the side and it does not collapse on itself in the trash receptacle area. Occasionally, I will readjust the bag over thhe sides. These bags do not have 4 holes cut into the side for holding the bag in place on the nubs that are on the side of the compactor. I can take scissors and make these myself. It can be viewed by some as a hassle but it only takes about 30 seconds twice a week. Not much of a hassle.

And the bags are thick, strong and do a very good job of absorbing odors. We leave our bag in the compactor for 4-6 days and it has never smelled.

All in all, while these bags are not perfect but the number of bags you get for the price makes them worth 5 stars. They work and save money.
