No. Multiple reviews report the bags are extremely thin causing ripping and flimsiness issues

Highlighted Reviews

— Rhonda

"Will NOT buy again. Awful! The bottom ripped when trying to take a bag off the roll- left a hole in the bag multiple times. Complete waste of money. They are thin and flimsy."

Bottom Line

The bags are very thin and prone to ripping. While great for the environment, users would need to assume that there will be multiple failures trying to use them prematurely.
