I purchased 5 of these bags and have been more than satisfied with them. They are tough as nails and can carry a surprising amount of groceries. My only complaint is after a year of almost invincible grocery carrying I attempted to wash one. It disintergrated. The seams tore right out. I would advise only washing with a cloth. My other 4 are still going strong.

Have had 8 of these bags for about a year and been pleased with them. My only complaint is that they are not stiff enough and don't stand up as well as I would like. Just ordered 4 for gifts and there seems to be a difference in these newer bags. They are stiffer, have a coating on the inside and stand up much better than my older bags. I wish my old bags were like these. Makes me want to order more for myself but don't know if I can justify the expense since my old bags still serve their purpose and have held up so well.

ACME Bags™ - EarthTote™ Reusable Shopping Bag Online appearance of the bag is identical to ACME bags I purchased several years ago. Those bags are still holding. However when I received my new bags, they appear to be of lighter weight, with a less durable inner coating. The inner coating feels more like plastic and less like fabric. All I can do is wait and see if these new bags are as durable as the older bags. So for now I'm rating it right in the middle.

I read some reviews from people who purchased an older version of this bag and don't like that these are thinner. I've found this bag to be very sturdy and well made, despite its light weight. Cashiers like it too because it stands on its own. I also wanted to point out that nylon *is* plastic to the people complaining that it feels like plastic. If you're looking for natural fiber try hemp or organic cotton. If you're looking for a really strong bag that's going to last long enough to cancel its own footprint, I recommend this one.

This is the second time I have ordered the acme shopping bags. I have found them to be very strong in carrying groceries, especially heavy cartons, bottles, or cans. They hold up much better than their paper counterpart! My only complaint this time was the odor coming from these type of bags - a "new?" smell possibly that hinted of petroleum or worse. The manufacturer should check what type of coatings it applies to the new bags so that I do not have to wash them so many times just to get that odor out. I would not order these again if I had to deal with removing that smell.

I love, love, love these bags. I have used them for holding groceries, shoes when moving, books, magazines, and, really, anything that will fit in them. I tell the clerks that the only limit to loading them is MY strength. Many clerks have commented on how clean my bags are. They say that they see many re-usable bags that are very dirty. I just throw mine in with the towels and hang to dry. I have yet to find any limit to their usefulness. Catching asteroids outside of the International Space Station maybe?

These really are the best grocery bags I have used. I have been using reusable bags for several years for my shopping needs, and these are the perfect size. They stay open when you are trying to put groceries in them and hold an amazing amount of stuff.

I have been using the Earth Totes (4) for the last 3-4 years. They have held up beautifully and often the clerks comment on their quality when I check out. They are large, clean easily, and stand up for easy use. I have now purchased four more bags to give as gifts for a bridal shower and for a daughter going to grad school. I highly recommend these bags.

The bags look great as usual. My sister loved these as a gift. I did notice however, that the inner linings are not as thick and durable as they were when I ordered my own bags 2 yrs ago. The new bags are thinner and I worry that they will not hold up as well as my orginal bags.

I have had these bags for a few years, they are strong well made bags that are easy to wash and air dry. The shape and size is so nice because it is the shape of the old paper bags just extremely strong. My mother is also very picky and wanted two of them because a person can fit so many groceries into them, they don't rip and they wash beautifully. The grocery baggers always say wow these are nice. We think they are the best reusable bags around. The pouch on the outside is a nice extra for the newspaper or grocery list.

They stand up, they fold down to nothing and I do not need to get plastic or paper bags! That's the best thing! No, I think the best thing is actually that these will last MUCH longer than those store "reusable bags!"

I've been using this bag for about 2 or 3 years now and I can't complain. I'm only back to buy more because I moved recently and the bags got lost. I originally purchased 5, but only ever used 3 at most....even with a full shopping cart. They hold a lot of stuff and the fact that they stand up on their own for easy packing makes them worth the money! You will not be disappointed, but them!

I have had these bags for about two years. I use them a couple of times a week. They are great. They stand up nicely for loading and hold a lot. My only comment is, now that I have had them for two years, the bottoms are getting holes. I know that is a long time but I feel they should last longer given the price. How about a double-layered bottom!!!

Finally a bag that stands up on its own and carries a TON of stuff!! Usually I get the old eye-roll from the baggers at the grocery store when I whip out my reusable bags.Now I tell them "I have my own,AND they stand up!!" and a big 'ol grin comes across their face while we chat about how nice reusable bags are when they stand up for easier bagging. Especially since most grocery stores are really not properly set up for reusable bag users. Also the bags hold twice as much as my others do.Nice job. I am spreading the word and have been handing out the tags that cameon my bags to others so they know where to go to get some.
