I've had these for about two years and I love them! I didnt use a lot of single use bags before, but having reusable zip locks has made some things much easier! For instance I buy my meat and sometimes my produce in bulk, these are sturdier than freezer bags and im able to pack my food in, press the air out, and have it stay good in the freezer for a couple of months.
I've bought other brands, and these are by far my favorite. They do run a little smaller, but the zipper has held up much better than my other bags (that I've had half the time) and in my opinion that makes them totally worth it!
Washing is super easy, just don't try to use to dishwasher. My husband used to flip them inside out to dry but I put an end to that because it can mess up the zipper. I just hang them off a cooking utensil or a pan handle that's on the drying rack. Yes they take a while to dry, but not the end of the world. If you're in a hurry ive also had success taking a cleaning towel and drying out the inside really well, but you can't always get in the corners.
As for smell and staining. I dont typically put things like onions in them, but even after two years I haven't noticed a huge smell from them. I do however get staining when I put spaghetti sauce or curry in them. I have some bags that are permanently yellowish from the curry!
I prefer the flat lays, but the larger of the stand up bags are perfect for half an avocado. Ive left avocado in it for multiple days and only had minor browning when I opened it!
All in all, my favorite brand and most of the issues I've seen other people have are just things that happen with reusable bags. But they are totally worth not having to buy single use plastic!
