I have been using these bags for a week now (just ran out of the first roll). The bags are good quality, not as thick as the ones I was forking out $13 bucks for at petsmart (for 10 rolls), but not as thin as the dollar store ones my apartment office gave me. They're a perfect medium and for the price, I'm very happy. The dispenser is really great, too! I love not having to search for the perforated edge in the dark when we go out before bed. My one complaint with this specific listing is that it states multiple times that it is for 1000 bags (50 rolls of 20 bags) and a free dispenser, but, as you can see from the listing photo, the dispenser is nestled in the top front. When you get the box, you realize that the dispenser is taking up what would be space for 3 rolls, it has one roll in it, though. So really, you're only getting 48 rolls of 20 bags and a free dispenser. Which is still a really great value, and in the future you won't need the dispenser, so you'll order a different listing without it and get 1000, just know with this specific listing you'll be getting 960, not 1000.

I LOVE these bags!! No, really, I do! The last batch I bought I went with some lavender-scented, possibly biodegradable poo bags (their website was vague on that) and I didn't realize how much I hated them until I got these! Let's pretend that lavender-scented poop is better than regular-scented poop for a minute (it's not!). Those ornery bags wouldn't tear off without a struggle either! These lovely bags have a cut in the center to hook on the dispenser tab (that comes with them), which makes them SO much easier to tear apart, Gorilla dispenser or not. I put them in my other dispenser, too, for the other leash and they tear off just fine in the standard dispenser. No more standing outside while the mosquitos are making a meal out of me fiddling with those stubborn bags! And if you think the tearing off is the hard part, you've got another thing comin' when you try to open the dern things! I don't know what it is about the material those lavender ones are made of that makes them so hard to open but I left a review for those too if you'd like to check it out. I started getting a sore throat from licking my fingers to unfold one, then licking again (sometimes more than once) to open it. I'm thinking it was the lavender scented stuff on them, I can't be sure, but when I made a point to stop doing that I stopped getting sore throats. (Coincidence?) These bags unfold and open MUCH more easily so that hasn't been an issue since I got these.

Okay, let's talk price. I paid $11.99 for 270 lavender-scented bags. That comes out to 4.4 cents per bag ($.044). I paid $14.99 for 1000 of these Gorilla bags (they seem to be on sale now but they weren't then) which comes out to be 1.4 cents per bag ($.014). Not only are these bags a thousand times better, they're cheaper, too! Why in the world did I pay 3x more for crappier bags? (pardon the pun) These Gorilla bags come 20 to a roll, too, so I'm not constantly having to change the roll like I did with the other brand, which only has 15 bags per roll. Why, you ask, are there only 15 of the other brand on the roll? Those are one inch longer, 9x13, while these are 9x12. My little guy is only 35 lbs so I could do with a sandwich bag size and even these are total overkill but I can't imagine anyone would need THAT much room to tie a knot. Even so, at this price (what I paid, $14.99), you could use three EVERY time and still come out ahead of the other brand! (For the nerds about to click on their calculators, no need, I've already done the math for you! 3.14 times. You're welcome!)

In summation (because I'm fancy like that), these bags are easier to rip off the roll, easier to unfold, easier to open, cost less, and require less frequent refilling of the rolls. I haven't found a defective one yet, nor one that tore open (in fairness, of either brand). They seem equally sturdy and while neither brand keeps the stink in very well, I will note that these keep the stink in at least as well as the other brand, if not better. I learned something about myself through this experience, I prefer poo that isn't lavender-scented. When I'm not near a doggy station I bring the poo bag inside, dump the contents in the toilet, tie the top of the bag, and put it in my kitchen trash receptacle (it has a covered lid). While I often had to take the trash out before the bag was full before just to get rid of the stink, I haven't so much as THOUGHT about it since I got these. If you're wondering if I just don't like the smell of lavender, I'd like to mention that I have three essential diffusers and about 60 essential oils, and I buy lavender both in dried form and essential oil in bulk. (You can check out my diffusers, dried lavender, and essential oil reviews by clicking on my name.) I'm going to buy these bags as long as I need bags, the search is over!

This is the second time I've purchased this product (first time in blue, now in green). Good quality at an unbeatable price. Eco friendly but it's not so thin it rips. I have no complaints. I did lose the first dog bone dispenser pretty early. The plastic attachment is not the best. But I didn't buy it for the dispenser so I still give it 5 stars. There are much better dispensers on sale on Amazon that will last a long time and that will fit 2 rolls instead of just one so you don't use the last one without having back-up.

These are good solid bags. I have used 500 so far, without one bag failure or defective bag. I have a 90lb and a 47lb dog. I have used many bags over the years. Some are weak, some smell terrible and some are difficult to open. I have no problems with these bags.

The only thing that I think these bags are missing is some kind of marking to show the top of the bag. I usually look for the seam on the bottom.

The dispenser that comes with these bags is nice, it rips the bags off leaving a tab to grab the next one.

I ordered these bags for a dispenser I made using an outdoor electrical outlet cover. These bags are great, for the price you can't beat it. I like the scented bags, but for this price it's not even a debate. These are thick bags and just like the ones I've purchased at the store for double the price. I 100% suggest these.
