I thought it felt good quality and quite robust, not as thin as I thought it would be. Shape seemed good and felt like it would last. I thought it was a good design and easy to use and most importantly easy to clean and dry. It was good that the bottom of the bag is made thicker so it actually stands up if needed and the seal at the top stays open if needed so makes pouring things in easier. Minimal instructions are needed, it’s a food bag. Was good to know that it is leakproof and can go in a microwave. It was very easy to use and the seal was easy to lock in and kept food safe, sealed and fresh. It’s good that the product can be used time and time again as it reduces the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfill. The bag seemed to keep food fresher than a normal single use bag and this can be reused many times. It kept the sandwiches very fresh, as if they’d just been made. The dust resistant finish has meant that we can keep it on the side ready to be used and it doesn’t get covered in dust as other items would. The wide open top makes putting food inside very easy and means that you don’t make a mess trying to get things in the bag. The seal worked really well and easy to use. With a zipper sometimes they come off the runners but this was just simply pressed together and sealed straight away….no fuss and easy to seal. I found the bag easy to wash and dry….we don’t have a dishwasher so being dishwasher safe wasn’t a benefit. Used this a few times a week, usually for sandwiches when in the office. Other members of the household used the bag when a sandwich bag or small box would have otherwise been used, we used it for leftover pasta a few times and it kept it fresh until eaten at a later date. I like the easy opening and the effective seal that kept food fresh. I would buy this. I think this will last for many years to come and is a good durable product. Especially as you can use it in a freezer and microwave. We mainly used it for sandwiches, but we did put left over pasta in and some grated cheese. It was good for keeping crackers fresh and cut fruit while we were out. The silicone is much thicker than a traditional plastic sandwich bag and the seal kept food a lot fresher. It was more durable and felt like you could just use the bag for sandwiches and not need to put the bag in a box as the sandwich was protected and the bag wasn’t going to pierce. I think the overall quality of the product is very good and will last a long time. The bag is a lot thicker than a “normal” sandwich bag and reduces the need for a sandwich box too. Overall this product does offer good value for money, although you can buy single use bags very cheap so you would have to use this a lot of times before you’d save pennies. I would consider buying more of these bags as I like the quality and durability of the product, and that it was easy to fill. I would recommend this product to friends and family as I think it kept food fresher and reduced waste, and means that we cut down on our use of single use plastics. I really liked the easy to use aspect of the product and that it has many uses. It’s good that it can be used in the microwave and can also be used in the freezer. It kept food very fresh and no mess. Really good product, that does actually do what it says it’s going to do. The seal is easy to use and hasn’t failed to keep food fresh. It has meant that we have used less sandwich bags. It was not a product I would have previously looked at but will be happy to get more going forward as it has worked well and has the added bonus that it is helping the environment. Bethan Lloyd

Really lovely quality, looked modern and stylish. I love it! Sturdy, easy to use and a great size. Simple instructions, easy to understand and use – very clear. Lovely design, very easy to use on a day to day basis. Simple yet very effective. I’m always on the look-out for good silicone products to reduce our single use plastic – I think this is important in this day and age. This product does the job brilliantly. I wasn’t sure at first how good this would be, but I was pleasantly surprised. It has a very good quality seal on it, which is important. I did notice that it didn’t get dirty quickly and still looks as good as new now after using it for a few weeks. Just goes to show how many unwanted particles there are that we don’t think about or even notice. The opening was a really good size and very easy to use. The seal was brilliant and very well made, even after using it and washing a lot. It hasn’t lost its seal and freshness. I love the fact that it can just go in the dishwasher at the end of the day and it comes up really lovely and clean. Great for a busy family. Used this every other day or so, I also found it was great to put leftover fruit/vegetables etc to keep them fresh in the fridge and chopped up salad. I used it out and about for picnic things, took it on holiday which was also useful but also used it a lot at home for storing food in the fridge. I found it so useful. My husband used it for his sandwich one day and really liked it – easy to use on the go and carry around etc. Looks stylish and easy to pop in your bag. I like the modern look and that it was so easy to use, keep clean and just one of those really useful items that everyone needs in their cupboards. It really is durable and will last a long time – so much better than single-use plastics. You can use it for almost anything… think fridge storage; fruit, veg, cheese. Left-over dinner for the next day. Picnics including sandwiches and wraps – anything you want to keep fresh really. I wouldn’t go back now, this item wins hands down every time – and also knowing you’re doing your small bit to reduce plastic waste etc is a big plus. Really good quality! It’s so strong, sturdy and very well made. I can see it lasting a long time. I think this does offer value for money. I thought it seemed a bit pricey at first, but you definitely get the quality for what you pay for. And if you add up single use plastic bits that you would buy, it’s not long before the price adds up. This will be a well-used kitchen item for many years, so I think it is worth the price. It would be great to have a couple to use and I would buy more in the future. I have already told family about it and recommended it! I loved this product and it definitely deserves a 5! Very well-made, does exactly what it says and looks great. This is a really lovely product, very stylish, so handy and will be used most days! Every family needs a couple of these in their cupboards. Strong, cleans well and keeps most foods fresh. Also great for the environment. A handy size and really great quality – a lovely product, thank you. Abby Cope
