Are the quality of the bags you make now as GOOD or Better than the bags made in 2010?

Quality OK. What are you planting? Too small for many/most vegetables in my experience.

Really they are a little thicker than a garbage bag. I wouldn't call them reusable if that helps.

They're as good as any bag I've used, and I've used them for over 5 years. Just make sure that you rotate your bags before you water them. Otherwise, they get a little heavy, and you're more likely to stretch, or tear the bags. You can use them over, and over, and they're easy to wash. Best value for container gardening.

I have used the bags and they work well. I just feel that the boxes are easier to clean and also they are more economical because the bags can only be used a few times each. Also, I do not put my boxes and lids in the dishwasher.

Haven't purchased any lately, but the few bags I have gotten in the past were always wonderful. Sorry to hear you're having a bad experience, I am sure they will replace them for you if you contact the seller thru Amazon in a timely manner.

I've been buying it online for a year and it's always been fine. The bag I just received has a "use by" date of March 2014, so it's good for another year.

I buy the filtrete brand of bags- much better and far cheaper than the Miele brand of bags. I love the S8380 and I still use my 17 year old red star when needed. As for how often do I change the bag- hard to say- when needed. It doesn't seem excessive.

I'm not sure. I never had a problem with mine. I used mine up already and I don't believe they last as long if they were dated. If they were dated ten years from now, would you want to wait that long to see if they were still good?

Hello Michael, the code imprinted on the bottom of all the bags were either 1242,1237,1243, or 1241. I plugged the date codes into a MRE calculator and found out they were all manufactured in 2011. here was the response on one of the bags: Manufacture Date:30 AUG 2011Estimated Shelf Life30 DEC 2014Remaining TimeNoneSucks to be me, lol. I have eaten two though and they are alright. Hope this helps.

I don't know but the quality is good. Also, the quality of items made in China have improved significantly over the past 30 years. As the worlds leading manufacturer and supplier of just about everything, China has become efficient in it's ability to generate mass production items at reasonable costs and good quality. China has it down and dominates the world market!!

These bags are premium - not dollar store quality. They fit my upright that I've had for over 20 yrs. I've haven't any issues - not tearing or anything. They fill up with the dirt (I have 4 dogs & sandy soil) so the bags get heavy!

Sorry i couldnt tell you. I. Tryed them out and was fed up with consistency, the same as 7-11 bags, i donated the rest to goodwill. Sorry i could help.

I've always found the exp. date on the bottom of the bag. I think the only way to know before you order it is to send them an e-mail. The bags are vacuum sealed so they would last quite a long time. I just got a bag that's good until March of 2015.

I have a foodsaver been using it for about 3 years now last year I bought these bags,and they seem to work just as well for a lot less than the foodsaver bags.

just looked at my bags. No date. With the speed that Amazon sells product, I don't think that you will find old product.

I haven't used the Wilton bags in a long time. But these bags are just as good if not better and they last longer and are cheaper. I use them almost every day and I recommend them 100%

I have 2 off these and both have been good. I replace the bags on an average time like any other vac. I'd rather have a bag than no bag vac, lest dust and lest mess. It was the first way they invented them and usually the best.

I got them at Christmas so don't remember but can tell you I didn't use a couple of the bags for about three months and they were still very fresh.

As far as I know the bags were the same until 2014. You may want to check with a dealer to be sure but I think they would fit. I have only used mine once but I would recommend them. Thanks. Hope they work for you. By the way amazon is real good about returns if something does not work out.
