Does anyone use it with reusable grocery bags? What are the dimensions of each compartment? THANKS

I purchase this for my daughter in law for Christmas as she was wanting it for her SUV. She uses it for her equipment for her physical therapy practice as she has to travel to home to work with children and needs lots of item big and small. Since she has never used it for grocery bags can't really say how it works and as for dimension I don't have it thus can't answer that. Except to say it fit across her vehicle very well. She really loves it as it helps keeps her organize.

Yes, it can hold reusable bags and plastic bags. I keep 2 in my car for big shopping.

Not small by any means. It fits roughly half of a full typical grocery bag. I also bunjicord a dairy crate on the rear rack for more storage.

I would not recommend it because they are reusable, and they are thicker than other brands. I absolutely love the product and the bags.

I ordered them with my bags. I am not sure how the size varies. I have used the small ones in a gallon can and they worked just fine.

Hello TME: These are the EXTERIOR dimensions which include the lip at the top of the receptacle: Top - between the outer edge of each handle is closer to 13 and 1/2 inches. From the outer edge of each lip front to back is closer to 9 and 3/4 inches. INTERIOR dimensions from handle to handle: 11 and 1/2 inches. INTERIOR dimensions front to back: 8 inches. As you can see from the picture, it's a bit narrower at the bottom. These are the EXTERIOR dimensions at the bottom: Right to left (between the handles) I measured 8 and 1/2 inches. Front to back I measured just a tad short of 7 inches. This is as specific as I could get. Based upon my measurements (and I was careful) it appears that Rubbermaid provides measurements that are accurate, not precise. This receptacle DOES specifically accommodate the standard plastic grocery bags - anything smaller will be a problem. Of course you can go with a larger bag as long as you don't mind the excess hanging over the edge. It works for me and they are durable - I purchased four. I hope this helps. Regards, Donna.

Sorry for taking so long to answer... its 33X24x14(with the cover on) you can line up the reusable grocery bags 3X3 with out trouble. The cover has a zippered flap access, so there is no need to take the cover off except for tall items.

Yes it works great, we put grocery bags in it all the time.... I have even transported gallons of paint and care care products. Overall a good product

good question, but---there's no answer. None of the descriptions I've been able to find give sizes. Even tho the item supposedly would fit the space bags, it's really for canning. The space bags are really frustrating. Even using the hose on a vacuum cleaner for the "vacuum" part, but many of the bags still leak and have to be done over and over. Thought this gadget would do the trick, but it doesn't. Even ordered the Ziploc bags for the kitchen with the manual "vacuum" designed for them, but that doesn't even work well for the smaller bags and doesn't fit the space bags either. Wish I could give you a better answer or advice. I've wasted a lot of money on the space bags--about half of them work as advertised, so the rest are only good for a see-thru storage for items. Hope you have better luck.

11" X 12". I use the for all different types of fruits and vegetable. I have also used them for bakery/bread. They are durable, first set going on 3 years. Wash and drip dry. I really love these bags.

I don't see a measurement on the box. They are very thin, I think. I would say thinner than a standard plastic grocery bag. And a tiny bit thicker than a standard grocery produce bag.

We don't use bags on ours. We just pop the bins out and take them out. However, you could use 13 gallon trash bags (will be too tall) or you could cut paper grocery bags to fit. Plastic grocery bags will be small but work too.

Here's the link to the bins that fit in the compartments, with their dimensions. They're probably 1" smaller than the compartments in all dimensions.

Hello. The measurements are 16.5 inches in length, 8 inches in width, 17 inches in height (where the side height is 10 inches corresponding to the fold you see in front). I should mention that beginning March 1 here in Austin, the city required all grocery bags to be recyclable. I purchased this bag, and the Cool Stuff thermal bag. EVERY time I have been to the grocery store with this bag, I receive 1 or more compliments on the bag. EVERY TIME. The bag itself is well constructed, and can hold more items than you would expect just viewing it. I am very pleased with this purchase from Amazon.

You can, I guess, but the results will probably not be very good. The idea behind the bag isn't just that it's designed to fit the container. It's also built to hold the diapers (way more than a grocery bag) and it helps control the smell. Grocery bags are not nearly as strong as these, and they are more porous, meaning they are far more likely to rip, leak, or both. You're better off taking your old grocery bags back to the grocery store as most will recycle them. Look for the recycling bin, usually right near the entrance of the store.

The individual compartments are 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" and 3/4" deep. Hope that helps.

I use grocery bag for this and fit perfect. You can wash off easy and has hole in the back middle will not hold water. I've been using this almost year so far no issue.

I actually haven't. I'm very particular about putting every thing in plastic grocery bags. I do think it's a big design flaw, they should make some sort of inset
