3.0 out of 5 stars
Just OK,

This review is from: 4Rplanetbag **5-PACK** Penguin Large Reusable Insulated Grocery Tote. Zipper improved! (Kitchen)
First, to clear up confusion from a previous review, this is five bags, not one. The price would be excessive for a single bag; it is almost excessive for five. If you only got one bag, you need to contact the seller.
The good: The bags are good size, and they open to have a flat stable base so that they will stand on their own and pack nicely into the car. They then fold flat for ease of storage and carrying. The bags and handles are reasonably sturdy. There's no problem packing a gallon of milk plus other groceries in a bag. Brought ice cream home last night when the real feel temperature was in the 90s, and the chocolate chips in the grocery store (apparently loaded the same day on the shelves) had turned into solid chocolate blocks. Ice cream still solid when I got it home 25 minutes later; milk still cold. The bad: Like other reviewers, I found that the zippers were extremely fussy and difficult to close. This means that if you are in the grocery store, you will need to finish your purchases, put things in open bags, then wheel your cart off somewhere so that you are not blocking the line and struggle with the zippers. The zippers, I realized belatedly, are important -- because if the bag isn't closed, then your groceries are not insulated, the whole purpose is defeated. If this bag had functional zippers, I would definitely bump the number of stars up. The funny: This plastic bag is stamped all over with the message "no plastic." The website of 4Rplanet doesn't discuss this, but does have a FAQ that explains that cotton bags aren't as good for the environment as you think because of the fertilizer needed to grow cotton. My principal purpose in buying the bag was to get the ice cream home without meltage, so I don't care that much. And arguably, since you are using the same plastic bags when you shop you are in fact reducing demand for disposable plastic bags, so you are still doing something good . . .

This review is from: 4Rplanetbag **5-PACK** Penguin Large Reusable Insulated Grocery Tote. Zipper improved! (Kitchen)
This grocery tote holds about two to three plastic bags worth of groceries. It's insulated, but not the best insulated tote out there. I would give it four stars except for the zipper. The zipper, in all five totes, sticks. I have a feeling that even with the care I take, the zippers are going to give out relatively soon.
UPDATE July 27, 2010 I originally gave this product 3 stars because of the zipper. I've continued to use these bags and I have had no issue with the zippers breaking. I really love these bags. I don't believe the zippers have become easier to use, but I have learned their idiosyncrasies. I have arthritis in both thumbs and I can easily zip these bags without pain. Five bags at this price, for this quality, deserves a new rating of five stars.

these bags work really well. easy to carry, holds alot, insulation feature works. much better than the smaller reusable bags you get at the grocery store that don't hold that much, especially for costco size purchases. 1 of the 5 had a defective zipper but that one has been relegated to the toy room for my little one to use for transporting toys around. they seem very durable and I anticipate getting alot of years of use out of them making them a good deal.
