Tested the 30l bags
Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners? Quite good, a good fit for the bin, which is sometimes an issue when buying 30l bags.
Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them? Generally satisfied, did not notice much difference between these and the ones I normally buy
Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past? Similar. They seem generally strong but the first one did rip on removing it from the bin.
Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags? Quite possible to consider, but would depend how much they cost compared to normal.
Q5. If you are willing to purchase Visqueen Ultimate bin liners, how likely are you to consider purchasing them online (e.g. on Amazon)? Possibly
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.

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

I loved them! Far superior to any others that I've ever used before.

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

I am generally frustrated as they aren't strong enough, they inevitably rip en route to the outside bin causing me to swear copiously! Visqueen bags ar a totally different story, great quality and very strong!

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 much stronger

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

Quite likely, depending on where I could get them from

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

Very unlikely. I would prefer to be able to add them to my tesco shop or buy them in store from Argos or Robert Dyas

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 as they are absolutely the best bin bags I have ever tried!

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
They are nice looking liners, strong and durable. I liked the box they came in which stopped them unraveling. The top of the liner is too small though and didn't fit my 3ltr bin or any other bins in the house.

Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them?
I do have liners I buy that meet my needs but they do split from time to time. These liners were stronger but sadly didn't fit my bins.

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

Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags?
Unlikely due to the small opening 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)?
N/A although buying in Amazon is useful I'd prefer to be able to buy in a supermarket.

Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommend Visqueen Ultimate bin liners to friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not?
The small opening would concern me if I was recommending them.

Hi, Tested the 50L size in my brabantia bin.

They arrived in a very bashed box so not able to comment on the dispenser aspect as I had to take them out.

They fitted our bin perfectly and I would agree that they are the toughest bin bags we have had. You don't get any sense that they will rip or leak and they are definitely tougher than other ones we have used.

Having said that, I have been quite happy with the other draw string bags we use so a lot would depend on the price as to whether I would pay the extra for them as I don't really need them to be that tough.

I suspect I would find them best when I am using them for things to go to the charity shop, clothes etc as that's when my other ones tend to tear - when there are heavier things in them so I could have 2 lots - vis queen for tough jobs and usual for others. That is on the assumption that these are going to be expensive.

I used to buy more things from Amazon but now that there is a £20 minimum (or is it £30) it's not so convenient so I probably wouldn't buy liners online.

I would definitely recommend these to other people if they asked but not sure how often it comes up in conversation!

Have just looked them up on Amazon and the price isn't too bad! Yes would definitely consider them in future - especially if I need to bring my Amazon total up!

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

My overall impression of the bin liners was that they looked very sturdy and fit into my Brabantia bin perfectly. My only criticism would be the outer box they came in, it was a bit flimsy and didn't hold up to the weight of the liners very well.

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

I've generally been satisifed, the Visqueen bin liners however knock them out of the ball park.

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

Theyare much stronger and don't rip when once again I have over filled the bin and am struggling to pull it out. This is a massive bonus as we have a large household and even with a LOT of recycling we have a lot of rubbish.

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 re-purchase 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 use Amazon for everything so would add them to my subscribe and save if they were in this section, otherwise I would just purchase when needed.

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 definitely would, much better than any other bin liner we have used.

I tested the 30l bags
Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners? On opening the parcel I thought the box was quite large with the bags in it, but when I opened the box and felt the bags I was very impressed with the thickness
Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them? I am so annoyed at how flimsy bin bags are now, I was delighted to find the Visqueen bags were very substantial
Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past? a perfect 10
Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags? Most deffinately

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 alread have, as my cats have a horrible habbit of ripping bin bags, when they couldnt rip right through the visqueen ones, I told one of my close friends who has a cat about them!

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
They do what they say, very tough, strong and j like the fact they're in a box so the don't roll all over there cupboard.
Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them?
I generally buy the cheapest of the cheap as I hate paying lots for things that go straight in to land fill. They are cheap and rubbish, rip all the time and cause endless hassle. The visqueen bags are in a completely different league.
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, much better.
Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags?
I will definitely look to buy them in future.
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 purchase on Amazon but would be more likely if they were in the supermarket.
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, I think there's be great for other uses as well such as garden rubbish etc. Have already recommended to my mum.

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
Really strong and just the right size for our bin. I like the roll in a box too.
Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? I really dislike thin or cheap looking ones.

How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them? Much 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?Much stronger!
Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags? I might consider it, but the price is a bit high.
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 be tempted if they were 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 I would, especially if they were looking for a reliably strong bin liner.

I tested the 30L liners
Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?

A good, strong bin liner. Difficult to tear off the roll initially - needing to identify the perforations first and then use some carefully applied force so as not to rip that liner or the next one - but excellent when used for their purpose. The fit on my 30L bin is extremely snug (I have to stretch the mouth of the bag a little in order to fit it securely inside the bin) but I rather like this as opposed to having excess liner to fit within the bin's rim. I'm not overly keen on the packaging's colours/graphics or mass of information printed on it but the product itself appears, and is, great. I do like the fact that they are rolled in a box for tidy and easy access rather than being loose in a bag.

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

I am a little frustrated with the bin liners I normally use, finding them expensive for what they are. I tend to buy them from the supermarket when they are on special offer only. They do sometimes rip which is very annoying. Visqueen Ultimate bin liners are definitely a stronger and superior product.

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 Ultimate bin liners are the strongest I have 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 definitely consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if they price was reasonable.

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 am happy to purchase items like these online but might be concerned about the delivery cost as the box is quite heavy.

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 wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Their strength/durability is their real attraction and they really are what they claim to be on that score. An added bonus for me is that they are a better fit within my bin than any others I have tried.

I tested the 50l bin liners.

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

I thought they were excellent, good and strong and coped with whatever I put in them, especially heavy bags of nappies.

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

Most bin liners I buy are extremely frustrating in that they tear easily and sag, making the journey from the kitchen bin to the green wheelie bin a bit of a hazardous one. I have discovered Tesco extra strong bin liners though, they seem to cope well but you can only seem to buy them in the big Tescos. The one thing I prefer with the Tesco ones is they come off the roll without needing to be torn, if that could be built into the visqueen model that would be great!

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

Excellent. 10/10, best I'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?

Depending on the price, highly likely. I'd much rather have a bin bag you can guarantee will work.

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

Again, this would be price dependant. If it worked out cheaper I might stock up. However bin liners seem to be something I suddenly realise I've run out if at the last minute so it would be better if I could buy them in a supermarket. Also, the big box they come in means they take up a vast amount of cupboard space compared with regular bin liners so this is something I'd have to bear in mind when stocking up.

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 absolutely would. It's so good to have a bin liner you just know will work and cope with whatever you throw at it.

We tried the 50l bags. My dh is a nightmare for using the smallest bag ever as a bin liner which then results in a lot of mess so I was ridiculously excited to be testing these.

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
Really impressed, they are strong, they fitted into the bin well and withstood me clearing out the craft cupboard in a Marie Kondo moment.

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 a roll of supermarket bags which are very flimsy compared to these.
DH then uses the tiniest bag he can find, like one a takeaway is delivered in.
Then I have a huff.
I've not had a bin related huff in a couple of weeks!

Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past?
These are much stronger than our normal supermarket bin liners.

Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags?
Quite likely to consider, DH was pleased that they were made in the UK, he was quite surprised.

Q5. If you are willing to purchase Visqueen Ultimate bin liners, how likely are you to consider purchasing them online (e.g. on Amazon)?
Not sure if I would order from Amazon, purely because of the minimum order level and I don't tend to use them much nowadays.
I would prefer to find them in a supermarket or a store like Lakeland.

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.

I tested the 50L bags
Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners? Great! Much stronger than any other liners I have ever used in the past. The box is quite big for the cupboard but the bags tear off easily.
Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them? I always seem to buy binliners that are too thin and rip, these seemed really thick.
Q3. In terms of strength, how would you rate Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compared to other bin liners you have tried in the past? These are far stronger than anything I've used before. They were great.
Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags? I would if they were reasonably priced.
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 they weren't available in the online supermarkets, I would never get round to ordering them 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?
Yes, definitely if they were easily available at a good price.

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
Surprised they were white and they are on a roll in a box.
They didn't fit our bin as easily as our normal bag.
Wondered if the white would fool seagulls ( some councils have trialled different colour bags)

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

I was fairly satisfied with our Aldi 20 pack. They are pretty strong and don't rip unless we have something that Catches on the bag or we overload. They are easy to get off the roll. The visqueen are much tougher to tear including getting off the roll! Smaller than our usual 80l so we used more. Harder to fit into bin but once in place completely solid.

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 is really tough. There isn't a bin bag I've used that rival them.

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

Yes I would purely on a quality issue. From a price perspective we normally pay £1.50 for twenty. Visqueen are £8.50 for forty. That's a big difference and not one I could justify. I'll watch out for them on offer.

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

Not something I'd buy online normally. If I was topping up an Amazon order to get free delivery I might look to add them.

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 definitely recommend but would need to mention the price point.

Hello

I was testing the 30 litre bags.

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
I found them really appealing in terms of the strength and the way they fitted my bin so well. The box was big which meant it needed more space to store than my usual smaller pack of liners. They tore off easily from the roll though and I liked the white colour which seemed cleaner looking than my usual black bags.

Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them?
I am satisfied with my usual bags and I found the Visqueen bags did a comparable job.

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 strength seemed good though I don't normally suffer from my usual bags being too weak or splitting so this wouldn't be enough to make me pay more for the bin bags.

Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags?
I would consider them as they fit so nicely in my bi, but as they don't seem to be biodegradable this would swing me to stick with my usual brand.

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 purchase online but would prefer them to come with my supermarket online 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?
I would mention that I had tried them and recommend testing them if a friend had a problem with needing stronger bags.

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners? They seem to be very high quality premium bags. They are very thick with a wide drawstring pull top. They come in a easy to dispense box which I liked.
Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them? We have always used supermarket carrier bags as we only have a small kitchen bin (15l?) as we prefer to empty the rubbish regularly, probably twice a day. Now that carrier bags are no longer free, we will soon need to buy bin bags. The bags are tried are great but I feel almost too good for what I need. I will keep the ones I have left for those tougher jobs. eg) garden rubbish, transporting or storing clothing. etc.
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 toughest that I have come across.
Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags? I don't think I would purchase them as bin bags as I think they are stronger than what I require, but I would purchase them as a tough large size bag for other purposes, when it is important that the bag doesn't break.
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 probably prefer to buy them in the shop, as and when I needed them.
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 certainly recommend them as strong multi purpose bags.

I tested the 30L bags

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

They're amazing. Really strong and sturdy. I love them! Great that they're in a box too.

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

I can't bear the usual bin liners you get from supermarkets. They tend to tear around the top when I get them out of the bin, or when I'm fastening the bag, or when I'm carrying it. I hate them so much I tend to just hang a carrier bag off a drawer and use that for rubbish instead.

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

Incomparable. They didn't shred! Hooray! I got my rubbish to the bin rather than strewn along the floor of my kitchen!

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

I definitely would consider buying them. I looked for them online and they're not cheap (!) but I think they'd be worth it to cheap my kitchen clean and tidy and my stress levels down! Having said that, money's very tight atm, so I might have to stick with hanging carrier bags from door handles...

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

Now we have Amazon lockers in our local supermarket I think I'd be more likely to get them online than a couple of weeks ago.

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've already recommended them to family (after I'd checked they were already available). In fact I've given my mum one of the bags to try for herself.

I tested the 30l bin bags.

Q1. Overall I was impressed with the thought that had been put into the bin bags. They are super strong and the tie handles work well. Unfortunately the ones I tried are too skinny for my 30l Brabantia bin.

Q2. Most bin bags I try are OK but they do occasionally split/ leak. The Visqueen liners didn't split or leak at all.

Q3. The Visqueen Ultimate bin liners seem to be stronger than other bin bags.

Q4. I would consider Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if I knew they would definitely fit my bin.

Q5. I prefer to buy bin bags at the supermarket but would consider buying online if the price was right.

Q6. I would recommend Visqueen bin liners due to their strength.

We tested the 30l bin liners.

Q1. Nicely packaged. Strong bin liners. However when you try and remove the bags from the box, they do not roll/unravel out. So even though the box is a good idea for storage, they do not actually dispense the bags. The 30l bags fitted our tall, slim Brabantia bin perfectly.

Q2. I am neither particularly satisfied or frustrated with my usual brand of bin liners. They are what they are, and I have put up with the occasional tear as I didn't know that there was a better alternative until now. The Visqueen Ultimate liners are much stronger. I doubt they will rip when it is time to pull your full rubbish bag out of the bin ( this happens occasionally with our usual brand). I could possibly put the bag out without having to double bag in into a black bag too. The Brabantia liners have little holes punched into the top of them to let the air out, but no good for putting out directly.

Q3. In terms of strength, the Visqueen Ultimates are definately stronger than than Brabantia liners we usually buy.

Q4. I would be quite likely to consider buying these bin liners, but of course it comes down to price. ( just checked online, the price is comparable to Brabantia. It might be worthwhile selling them in packs of 20/25 so closer to the amount of bags that Brabantia sell).

Q5. I am not a massive online shopper, have never bought bin liners online. So much easier to pick up a pack when at the supermarket, Robert Dyas or the DIY superstores.

Q6. Hmm not sure when this would come up in conversation, but yes I would probably recommend them if it did.

I have been testing the 50l bags..

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
I absolutely LOVE them, really strong, makes removing them from the bin so much easier, even when over full..as my bin always is!

Q2. Are you generally satisfied or frustrated with typical bin liners that you use? How do Visqueen Ultimate bin liners compare to them?
The bin bags I usually get ( sainsburys own brand) are rubbish ( excuse the pun!) they rip all the time, and even if they don't rip coming out of the bin they end up with holes in by the time they get outside, the visqueen were a million times better, even overfull, and even filled up with big sharp edged boxes from a kids craft project, they were easy to rip off the roll, and easy to tie, the only downside was the colour, I don't like being able to see my rubbish through the bag, I'd have preferred black, but it wouldn't put me off buying 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?
The visqueen are much much stronger, and far better quality than any bags I have tried previously.

Q4. In future, how likely are you to consider purchasing Visqueen Ultimate bin liners if you were in need of bin bags?
Very likely, I will def be buying them again!

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 them from Amazon, but I'd prefer to be able to buy them online from a supermarket for ease.
Q6. If it came up in conversation, would you recommended Visqueen Ultimate bin liners to friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not?
Yes, I'd definitely recommend them, because they make a horrible just a bit easier!

1. Large and strong
2. Some bin liners are too small or can rip

Visqueen were nice and large and didn't rip

1. Very strong, no rips
2. I would purchase if the price was right
3. I may buy online but there are sometimes issues with having to go to PO to collect, would prefer to purchase from local co-op
4. I would bring up in conversation and recommend

I tested 30l. Thought they were stronger than my usual liners but possibly a bit smaller? I did have one tear but overall still thought they were strong.

Would only buy online if free postage & if no more expensive than my usual asda own brand ones, wouldn't pay extra for them as the asda ones are adequate. Easier though to buy in supermarket than online really.

Liked them being in a box, the text on the liners didn't add anything to them IMO, not needed.

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners?
Overall they looked very substantial and of good quality. I liked the colour and drawstring closure. The packaging is convenient as well.

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 buy the most expensive Supermarket's own brand (after many frustrating experiences with cheaper options). To me it's very important the bin liners don't leak or rip as we have a 50l Brabantia. Visqueen liners were just as good as my usual brand. They fitted much better though. Unfortunately, they did rip on one occasion along the top just under the drawstring.

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

It's better than most of the liners I have tried before. 9 out of 10 ( see the answer to the previous question).

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 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)?
Yes I would consider buying online providing they are delivered for free.

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 recommend them because of the fit, quality and convenient closure.

I tested the 30L bags

Q1. What were your overall impressions of Visqueen Ultimate bin liners? The bags were good quality and I like that they come in a box making them easier to store. I found the top of the bags quite narrow for my 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've tried a lot of different bin liners and they always tear when emptying the bin, these bags didn't and didn't leak either.
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 much stronger.
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 them if they were the right price and easily available.
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, more likely if they were available from supermarkets.
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.

Hi
Thank you for letting me test these.
Q1. I love the quality and almost guarantee that they won't have split when I lift the bag out of the bin!
Q2. I'm generally satisfied with my normal bin liners, but do get v frustrated when they do split when I lift them out!
Q3.they are definitely much stronger! Would trust them with a lot heavier rubbish than my usual cheapies.
Q4. I would purchase them if I found them in a shop, but that fact that the packaging doesn't fit through the letterbox and I had to take a trip to the (always busy) local sorting office to collect them would put me off ordering them unless I could order by click and collect etc.
Q5. As above,I think of rather buy them from a supermarket or local shop due to the packaging not fitting through a letterbox
Q6. I would recommend them,they are very strong and definitely do the job well

I tested the 50l bags

1. I thought they were good quality and stronger than others I have used before. I thought the tear off box was particularly useful.
2. I am generally satisfied with my bin liners though they do occasionally tear. Visqueen are much stronger and I have had no hesitation in putting heavy rubbish in these which I can't do with my usual liners.
3. Visqueen are without a doubt much stronger than my usual bags.
4. Yes I would definitely consider buying these in future. Price may be an issue though.
5. I would buy from amazon, though probably easier to buy from supermarket but I do get regular shops from amazon too.
6. Yes definitely. I would definitely recommend them. I do think that they need to be competitive in price though.

Thank you for letting me test these.
