by Editors of Real Simple
by Editors of Real Simple
Our Assessment
Real Simple editors test a variety of bags by filling them with trash and pointy-edged boxes, dragging them over smooth concrete and jagged rocks and dropping them on the pavement from a five-foot height.… Glad ForceFlex takes top honors in the kitchen category over Hefty Cinch Sak; editors praise its toughness and elasticity. In the extra-large category, Cinch Sak once again finishes second, this time to Husky. Seventh Generation and The Home Depot are both praised for their biodegradable bags.

by Carol Bengle Gilbert
Our Assessment
In yet a third head-to-head trash bag comparison by a single tester, Carol Gilbert pits Hefty Cinch Sak against Wal-Mart's America's Choice trash bags. She says America's Choice fits better in the bin, but can't match Cinch Sak for durability. Based on price, however, she still opts for America's Choice trash bags, with the proviso that you shouldn't overload the bag.
