Stasher Bag wins praise in reviews for durable, leak-resistant silicone storage that replaces single‑use plastic, performs in freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and even sous vide, and comes in versatile, space‑saving sizes and colors. However, many reviewers flag persistent drawbacks: tough-to-clean seams, slow drying that can lead to odors or mildew, occasional staining or smell retention, tricky openings, and rare tears or imperfect seals with liquids—making bowls/stand-up styles preferred for ease of use.

  • So far i've only stored dried goods in it. But it's WAY better than using ziplock, and stores things for much longer without air leak.

    Feedback

    Just a tad expensive.

  • Love these bags. They've eliminated any need for ziploc bags in my household. I tried beeswrap for a while, but its tough to make a habit out of something that you can't wash with soap and warm water. These are dishwasher safe, which is amazing. Easy to clean and reuse, great in the fridge or freezer (or packing a lunch), and they come in plenty of sizes. I have 20+ now and use them daily.

    Feedback

    My partner has carpal tunnel and struggles to open these bags. I'd much rather have it that way rather than have the bags coming open all the time, but I wonder if there's a way to improve accessibility for people with less hand mobility.

  • These make it easy to be eco-friendly and they are super useful for around the house and snacking.

    Feedback

    Too many crevices for dirt to get stuck in. Hard to clean in that sense and silicone attracts a lot of dust.

  • I finally just bought stasher bags after having friends use them for years. They work really well and I like that you can throw them in the dishwasher.

    Feedback

    I find them hard to fully dry after cleaning them, but otherwise they work great and has really cut down my use of single use plastic.

  • So handy for lunches or as a reusable freezer bag!

    Feedback

    N/A - pretty perfect

  • I really love using my Stasher Bags; they make me feel so much better not buying plastics, and their versatility is great. They work exactly as you'd expect, and that's a great great thing!

    Feedback

    The closure mechanism can get food stuck in it quite easily, which can be difficult to get out. In addition, the silicone isn't the strongest material in the world, so in cleaning the edges of the closure, one of my bags began to rip.

  • I reused standard ziplock bags, but Stasher is genuinely elevated! They are great for storage, travel and in-room temp, fridge, and freezer.

    Feedback

    I do find some smells linger.

  • These are the perfect way to replace any single use plastic bags that you need day to day. They're easy to use and clean and come in a ton of sizes.

    Feedback

    They can be hard to dry due to the openings being small, but overall not a huge issue. I have also found that the silicone can occasionally make the food inside taste a bit like rubber. They're good for daily use but I would not use them for storage.

  • I love these bags! They are diswasher safe, they seal really easily, and have tons of fun colors.

    Feedback

    I wish there were some that could stand on it's own for soups and it was stain resistant to my pizza sauce

  • I'm obsessed!!! Got these for my parents as gifts for Christmas and the whole family uses and loves them. Price can seem a bit high but totally worth it as they have 1000 uses and last fovever. I've tried other similar bags and nothing compares—others are hard to zip, warp in the washing machine, rip, and don't feel as sturdy—but Stasher is perfect.

    Feedback

    Nothing! These guys are perfect.

  • I love using Stasher bags for everything. I store food, protect liquids when I travel, and organize things at home. The only reason I gave Stasher a 4 is because they're slightly difficult to clean. They're extremely high quality, chic, and come in tons of different sizes so suit pretty much all of my needs.

    Feedback

    Easier to clean! Shoe bags!

  • Love my stashers! So easy to clean and I love how high quality they are

  • These are amazing - I have two and they can fit a lot of different food types and products. Love the colours too.

  • So easy to use and throw into the dishwasher or freezer. Great for traveling too

  • These bags are beautiful, freeze wonderfully and generally do well to alleviate the guilt of using + disposing of gallon plastic bags every time I cook freezer-friendly food. They come in a broad array of sizes including "standing" bags that prevent leakage in the fridge. They stand up to machine washing without any visible damage or deformities.

    Feedback

    The machine washability really only comes into play if you turn the bags inside out, otherwise I worried about dishwashing residue getting stuck inside. After flipping them inside out a few times I found that my gallon bags had ripped along the side seam, rendering them non-sealable. If you commit to treating them carefully and default to hand-washing each bag they can be a long-term plastic bag replacement.

  • These are SO handy! I use them to store extra produce or snacks when I'm on the go. My only issue: they're difficult to clean.

    Feedback

    They're a little bit pricey. Be on the lookout for their sales.

  • I love these bags! We have fully replaced all of our ziplocs with Stasher bags. These are great, easy to clean and makes me feel better that I'm not using single use plastic all the time.

    Feedback

    More sizes, and ability to label them.

  • Love it! It's a bit expensive but if it lasts forever it'll be worth it :)

    Feedback

    Would love different formats (standup bag) etc.
