  1. First impressions - good! Felt quality. The box doesn't fit into the "bin liner drawer" but on second thoughts - if I didn't have toddlers then this sort of stuff would go under the sink anyway.
  1. Are you generally satisfied with typical bin liners? Well, we vary between two brands. Simply Human ones are fab, but expensive. Waitrose brand are cheap, but often rip, so then rubbish needs to be double bagged. And I also find that using cheap liners means I have to clean the bottom of the bin regularly ( Ick!).
  1. In terms of strength, how do they compare? I think they are similar to the simple human ones, and waaaay stronger than the Waitrose ones.
  1. How likely would you be t buy them again? Not likely. Unfortunately they are a bit narrow for our bin, you have to reeeeally stretch it over the top. Discussing bin liners with my husband, though, we've decided that stronger bin liners really do make life easier, and so we've just ordered some simple human ones.
  1. Would you buy them online? Yes. I'd rather buy them from ocado, but we do use Amazon a lot and I have just bought more simple human ones from eBay.
  1. Would you recommend them? Yes. Well, I would recommend spending more for a strong liner, if bags tearing was an issue. If they fit the bin, yes I would recommend the visqueen ones, especially as they are a little cheaper than the simple human ones.

As an aside - if you could create something that is both strong AND environmentally friendly (biodegradable??) if be very interested.

Anomite · 19/03/2016 14:46

I tested the 50L bags:

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?

Strong, durable, loved them! Not so keen on the huge black printed writing on them, but I can put up with it.

Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them?

These were the best bin liners I have ever come across- far stronger than any other I have tried.

Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past?

10/10- I have tried many variations, these are amazing!

Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags?

I will always buy these going forward.

Q5. If you are willing to purchase Visqueen Ultimate bin liners, how likely are you to consider purchasing them online (e.g. on Amazon)?

If it's free delivery I would. I would not want to pay delivery charges on bin liners!

Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Visqueen Ultimate bin liners to friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not?

Absolutely yes! I have already given my mum some off my roll to try. They are brilliant!

TelephoneIgnoringMachine · 19/03/2016 15:29

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
Great! Seemed pretty durable & a good size & shape for my bin (I have a fairly common 30l branded bin).

Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them?
I usually just use generic black bags, whatever works out best value for money. Not always great as the thickness varies a bit & we've had the occasional one tear as we remove it. Weve never had a drawstring that didn't tear, so never buy them now. No tears with the Visqueen so far.

Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past?
Good & strong, not worried they will rip on removal. A drawstring that actually works & doesn't just shred itself, yay! Much stronger than the ones we usually get.

Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags?
I would definitely get these if they were available at a good price.

Q5. If you are willing to purchase Visqueen Ultimate bin liners, how likely are you to consider purchasing them online (e.g. on Amazon)?
I do shop online, including Amazon, but always prefer to buy things in a real shop if possible (despite not having a car). I would also not like to pay delivery charges.

Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Visqueen Ultimate bin liners to friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, so far they have been much easier to put in the bin compared to a generic black binbag, tuck in nicely round the top, & appears very strong.

As an aside, I wonder how long these take to biodegrade - comparable with regular black sacks, or longer, they appear a lot thicker so I would suspect longer.

clam77 · 19/03/2016 17:02

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
So impressed with these, wasn't sure they'd live up to 'being the toughest bags' but they do!
Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them?
Normally frustrated as all the bags we've tried rip as your pulling them out of the bin-these didn't rip or tear at all.
Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past?
Definitely the strongest bin liners I've ever used.
Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags?
I would purchase these over other bin bags as long as they were a reasonable price.
Q5. If you are willing to purchase Visqueen Ultimate bin liners, how likely are you to consider purchasing them online (e.g. on Amazon)?
Maybe if it was free postage otherwise I would just keep buying bags with my household shopping.
Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Visqueen Ultimate bin liners to friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not?
Would strongly recommend especially if they have lots of rubbish, like our family of six. I would say, though, it can be quite hard to differentiate between the bags when pulling them out the box, on a few occasions pulling two instead of one so maybe the cut could be clearer, other than that great job!

McGriffo · 19/03/2016 18:13

I tried the 50l liners.
Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
Strong, 'industrial'
Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them?
My usual liners are generally OK. I have a simplehuman bin and their liners are very strong and fit perfectly but they're expensive. I've been using some supermarket ones as they're cheaper and they are much thinner but to be honest they've been fine too.
Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past?
Strong. Comparable to the simplehuman ones. However the blue pull cord may need to be improved as that broke on the second bag I tried, when I tried to close the bag.
Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags?
Yes, possibly, if they're easy to get hold of and competitively priced. Actually I would be more interested to buy them if you made a 40l size.
Q5. If you are willing to purchase Visqueen Ultimate bin liners, how likely are you to consider purchasing them online (e.g. on Amazon)?
Yes, I'd be willing to buy them online but wouldn't want to have to pay P&P!
Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Visqueen Ultimate bin liners to friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not?
I'd recommend them, as they were very strong.
Thanks for letting me try the product.

CheeseAtFourpence · 19/03/2016 18:17

Oops- forgot to say we tested 50L bags (my post was 07.27 this morning!)

oneplusoneequalsfour · 19/03/2016 20:27

I tested the 30l bags.
Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
The box was useful, stopped the roll falling out of the cupboard and rolling across the floor! The bags felt thick and were easy to tear off the roll. The were a tight fit for my bin (Simple Human 30l) and I found it hard to get them to fit well, my DH couldn't stretch them to fit so it was a pain as rubbish dropped down the gap. They were strong and I had no leaks or tears.
Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them?
I buy Sainsbury's tall bin liners as I find cheaper bags are no good, these fit my bin well and I have no problems with them. The Visqueen liners are thicker and probably stronger but poor fit makes them worse for me.
Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past?
They compare well to premium brands and are much better than standard bags.
Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags?
I wouldn't buy them because the fit is poor for my bin but if they fitted I would have been happy to buy them.
Q5. If you are willing to purchase Visqueen Ultimate bin liners, how likely are you to consider purchasing them online (e.g. on Amazon)?
Unlikely to buy online as it is easy to pick up a pack in the weekly shop, postage would also put me off and likely to have to collect from sorting office.
Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Visqueen Ultimate bin liners to friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not?
Not something I normally chat about but yes would suggest them if it came up.

serendipity1980 · 19/03/2016 20:53

Q1. I though they were really good - took me a few moments to work out how to remove them from box the first time!
Q2. I do get frustrated with my regular supermarket liners when they rip- it doesn't happen everytime but is really annoying when they do.
Q3. They are definitely stronger - no rips at all despite being quite heavy when full.
Q4. I would consider them depending on the price.
Q5. I might consider them online but would be better to buy them from a supermarket.
Q6. I would definitely recommend them- very reliable. Would like to know price though. Also how biodegradable are they?
Thanks Mumsnet!

Thereshegoesagain · 19/03/2016 20:57

30ltr tested
Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
They didn't fit the top of the bin which drove me mad. They're very strong and I was always confident there would be no rips. The box they came in was huge and I had rearrange my drawer to fit it in.
Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them?
I don't mind cheap ones, they are clearly not as strong as these ones, but I rarely find the cheap ones ripped if used properly!
Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past?
They're stronger, but they didn't fit my bin and cheap other ones do.
Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags?
Probably not, they don't fit, they're stronger than I think they need to be and the box was too big for my drawer.
Q5. If you are willing to purchase Visqueen Ultimate bin liners, how likely are you to consider purchasing them online (e.g. on Amazon)?
Probably not, I can't see me going online to specifically buy bin bags.
Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Visqueen Ultimate bin liners to friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not?
Probably not, they are lovely and strong, but I wouldn't buy them again, so I wouldn't recommend to others.

Bicnod · 19/03/2016 21:04

We tested the 50L bags.

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?

They are definitely strong! Seemed a bit over the top for a domestic bin liner to be honest.

Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them?

We typically buy bin liners from Aldi and they are ok. They occasionally split if we ram too much stuff in them before changing them. The Visqueen bin liners are definitely much stronger and I felt able to fill them right to the top without worrying about changing them.

Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past?

They are definitely the strongest bin liners I've ever used.

Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags?

If I needed some strong bin liners for a special job that required extra strong bin liners then I would consider purchasing them. I wouldn't use them as my regular bin liners as I don't think we really need ones this thick (seems a bit wasteful) and also the packaging is so massive they are not very easy to store (I usually store my bin liners in the drawer with the foil/cling film etc).

Q5. If you are willing to purchase Visqueen Ultimate bin liners, how likely are you to consider purchasing them online (e.g. on Amazon)?

I might, if they weren't too expensive and the P&P was free. Otherwise I'd probably just continue buying bin liners with my supermarket shop.

Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Visqueen Ultimate bin liners to friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes if they wanted extremely strong bin liners/mentioned they had a problem with bin liners tearing.

Abodago81 · 19/03/2016 21:12

50l bags tested.

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
Was surprised by the weight of the box, suggesting good substance and strength. Didn't expect the design on the bag itself....bin bags are usually plain black! After first impressions, overall they seemed good.
Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them?
Usually frustrated by splitting and hard to get out of the bin.
These were better, thicker , stronger.
Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past?
The bag itself was definitely stronger and impressive. The handles weren't quite as strong and when pulling closed ( one full of hay and one full of rubbish) the handle snapped which surprised me.
Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags? Certainly would if easily available and good price.
Q5. If you are willing to purchase Visqueen Ultimate bin liners, how likely are you to consider purchasing them online (e.g. on Amazon)?
Would do if was easy and postage not much ( concerned as bags were so heavy) ....postage could be dear?
Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Visqueen Ultimate bin liners to friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes absolutely.

rahlikeatiger · 19/03/2016 21:20
  1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
I liked the packaging and was impressed with the amount of bags you got. Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? WE tend to buy the stronger ones as the bin liners on the market tend to rip easily - so we pay a premium. How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them? Stronger, really liked the handles. Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past? More durable, neater and handles don't break when liner is full. Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags? Dependent on price, I would consider buying them Q5. If you are willing to purchase Visqueen Ultimate bin liners, how likely are you to consider purchasing them online (e.g. on Amazon)? We have Amazon prime so if they were available on there with no delivery cost I would consider it. Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Visqueen Ultimate bin liners to friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not? I would for the reasons above, the packaging keeps them neat and tidy. They are strong and have fab handles.
Sixgeese · 19/03/2016 21:23

I tested the 50 litre bags.

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
They were strong and fitted our large kitchen bin well.
Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them?
We usually use cheap under £1.50 for 10 black sacks from a local shop, the Visqueen bags were a lot better. We usually have to have a fight with the bin to remove the black sack without it ripping or spilling the rubbish onto the floor.
Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past?
Definitely better, I do usually stick to the cheaper end of the market, but may consider looking at more expensive brands in the supermarket
Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags?
If they were available in the supermarket I would definitely consider buying the at the price mentioned in the survey, but probably wouldn't pay much more.
Q5. If you are willing to purchase Visqueen Ultimate bin liners, how likely are you to consider purchasing them online (e.g. on Amazon)?
I wouldn't buy on line, by the time you add postage onto the price, they would cost more than I would consider for bin bags
Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Visqueen Ultimate bin liners to friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not?
If they were looking for a strong bin liner and the cost was no object then yes I would recommend.

lankyesme · 19/03/2016 21:32

Q1: They appeared durable, box unnecessary.
Q2: usual bin liners tear when removed from the bin.
Q3: very strong and durable.
Q4: yes I would consider buying these if they were the right price
Q5: I wouldn't purchase from the internet - yes to super market tho
Q6: Yes I would recommend these bin liners based on durability

FPATEL · 19/03/2016 22:14
  1. The bin liners, upon receiving looked good quality and strong.
  1. I am satisfied with the bin liners I use as long as they don't split
  1. They are very strong.
  1. If they were priced well, I would consider buying them.
  1. I would not really consider buying bin liners.
  1. If the topic was related to bin liners, then yes, I would recommend.
Takora · 20/03/2016 00:20

Q1. Very well designed, but I didn't much like the look of them. Quite ugly!
Q2. Our usual bin liners are ok, but are often difficult to separate and open which is really frustrating - particularly if they rip. The Visqueen Ultimate bin liners were really easy to use and I much preferred them.
Q3. Most bin liners are very weak in the corners. The Visqueen Ultimate bin liners have been reinforced in the corners so they feel, and are, far stronger than our regular bin liners. A big thumbs up!
Q4. I would definitely choose them if they were competitively priced. If they were a lot more expensive than the regular cheap ones I buy, I would probably still put up with the annoying features of the cheap ones.
Q5. I would buy them wherever they were cheaper. I often buy on Amazon, so would not have a problem buying them there.
Q6. Definitely - if you generate a lot of rubbish, particularly if it is bulky and could rip a regular bag. These are lovely and strong and would withstand a lot.

RadagastTheBrown · 20/03/2016 06:13

I tested the 30l liners.

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
Box was broken on arrival which is never good but the liner's themselves are OK. They are clearly of a heavier gauge plastic than the ones I currently buy.

Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them?
The ones I use are a bit flimsy but OK. Visqueen liner's are stronger but too small for my bin!! Packaging states for 85cm rim & our 30l bin has an 89cm rim. Much stretching needed to make them fit.......

Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past?
They are stronger but not game changingly so.

Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags?
Not at all. Strength good but not enough to offset sizing and cost issues.

Q5. If you are willing to purchase Visqueen Ultimate bin liners, how likely are you to consider purchasing them online (e.g. on Amazon)?
Unlikely. Ignoring my answer to Q4, I'd only buy them from a supermarket, no way would I make a special effort to order such a mundane product online.

Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Visqueen Ultimate bin liners to friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not?
Never spoken about bin liners but, if I did, I couldn't see myself recommending them - too small, too costly & too inconvenient.

Mrsboathook · 20/03/2016 07:12

I thought these were really excellent. Store easily and quick to get out of box. Typically the bin liners I buy are quite flimsy and rip easily, these stood up to dh and I playing who can cram most in the bin before emptying. These were infinitely stronger. I would buy them again, price dependent. I might well buy them on Amazon especially if they were on prime. I actually would recommend these (I had the 50l ones).

yoomoo · 20/03/2016 09:04

I tested the 30L liners

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
Very good and impressed with these bin liners, didn't fit my bin perfectly but managed to get them in and they didn't rip. Also liked the box as they are easy to dispense.
Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them?
Much better, the usual bin bags I buy from the supermarket rip very easily especially if there's something a bit sharp but these are great. Had to put some sharp plastic in there and didn't rip at all.
Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past?
Again much better and stronger.
Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags?
Would definitely consider purchasing these, if the price was right.
Q5. If you are willing to purchase Visqueen Ultimate bin liners, how likely are you to consider purchasing them online (e.g. on Amazon)?
Would like to purchase them online but only if they had free delivery (as most things do on Amazon) as they are fairly pricey. Being available in a supermarket/home bargains type store would also be useful as that's where I buy a lot of household type stuff.
Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Visqueen Ultimate bin liners to friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes I'd recommend to others and have actually given my sister a few to try out too and she's impressed.

CathyGlynn · 20/03/2016 09:49

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners? They looked sturdy and held rubbish securely.
Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them? Usual bin liners I purchase are often not as strong as Visqueen. My usual liners tend to rip or tear and do not pull off the roll easy.
Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past? Visqueen liners are definitely a lot stronger than other brands I have purchased, I have not had any spills whilst emptying the bin for the last week.
Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags? I would definitely consider buying these liners, they are simpler and stronger to use.
Q5. If you are willing to purchase Visqueen Ultimate bin liners, how likely are you to consider purchasing them online (e.g. on Amazon)? I would buy online, I purchase lots of products online and it makes shopping so much simpler.
Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Visqueen Ultimate bin liners to friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not? Yes I would recommend them, they are easy to dispense, very strong and they seal well when emptying.

TyrannosaurusBex · 20/03/2016 09:51

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
They are very distinctive-looking, which I like as I'm sadly not organised enough to make notes of which bin liners are strong and reliable, and I can never remember which are good and which aren't as they all look the same. No problem with remembering these!

Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them?
I'm absolutely sick of bags splitting and tearing when I'm trying to manhandle them out of the bin. Visqueen compare very favourably to other brands I have used.

Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past?
Great, actually. I filled a bin bag with knobbly, fairly heavy rubbish and then carried it by the drawstring ties down three flights of stairs and outside. The bag and ties remained intact - result!

Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags?

I'll definitely buy them if they're available in the supermarket.

Q5. If you are willing to purchase Visqueen Ultimate bin liners, how likely are you to consider purchasing them online (e.g. on Amazon)?
I'll certainly consider it but, as previously mentioned, I'm not a fantastically well-organised housekeeper, and I tend to buy cleaning products etc. as I need them rather than planning in advance - also, storage space is at a premium in my kitchen!

Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Visqueen Ultimate bin liners to friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not?
If it came up I would as they're good quality, but as I'm not a '50s housewife in a TV ad I tend not to have conversations with friends and family about my choice of bin liner.

TyrannosaurusBex · 20/03/2016 09:55

Oops, should have added that I tested the 30L bags.

FlukeSkyeRunner · 20/03/2016 10:26

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?

Great quality, unlikely to split. I had the 50l bags which are voluminous :)

Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them?

I hate thin bags so I don't by the really budget ones, however the better ones do still sometimes split. I think the Visqueen ones are unlikely to, so the compare very favourably.

Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past?

Much stronger.

Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags?

Depends on the price really. Also from an environmental point of view I'm not sure such durable bags are a great idea - but you can't have it both ways can you!

Q5. If you are willing to purchase Visqueen Ultimate bin liners, how likely are you to consider purchasing them online (e.g. on Amazon)?

Yes, if it worked out cheaper.

Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Visqueen Ultimate bin liners to friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not?

Yes, for durability.

HungryHorace · 20/03/2016 12:37

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?

Really good as they're sturdy and strong.

Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them?

The Visqueen ones are reliable whereas most standard ones we've tried can't be trusted not to rip etc, which is very annoying.

Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past?

Way stronger than anything we've ever tried.

Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags?

At the right price I'd definitely consider them.

Q5. If you are willing to purchase Visqueen Ultimate bin liners, how likely are you to consider purchasing them online (e.g. on Amazon)?

I'd be more than happy to buy online rather than in a shop at the right price (with free delivery).

Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Visqueen Ultimate bin liners to friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not?

I'd definitely recommend them as they're a great product.
