Baby Products Reviews of Diaper Dekor Plus 2-Pack Refill Biodegradable
Customer Review: The new bags are terrible!
Summary: 1 Stars
Could the new biodegradable bags be any more terrible? I have been using this system for a little over a year and loved it. It kept the smells inside the can and out of my nostrils. I recently had to get the new refills and it's been downhill ever since.
1. Why have biodegradable bags when MOST people don't use biodegradable diapers. Yep, biodegradable diapers are an option and a few companies sell them. I think most people find them to be cost prohibitive to buy on a regular basis. Why not go with what the MAJORITY of people use. Did Diaper Dekor study that in their focus groups?
2. Something about the biodegradable bag DOES NOT keep the smell in. It's disgusting.
3. The same box only contains 2 refills now instead of 3. The 2 are a little bit cheaper, but I'd rather just have the old ones!
It would be great if they gave the biodegradable bag as an OPTION, but not force all of us to use it. Now I have a worthless can with worthless refills and a kid who's almost out of diapers. But, I will probably go buy a different brand of diaper can because I can't stand how much this one now sucks. What a waste.
I encourage you to give your feedback to the makers of Diaper Dekor. You can do so on their website. I got this response back: "In our focus groups, there have been no differences in the effectiveness between the old Dekor refills and the new Dekor biodegradable refills." I think they need to come to Amazon and read some of these reviews!
Customer Review: Why Ruin Such a Great Product?!?
Summary: 1 Stars
Count me in with the many other reviewers who can't believe how Regal-Lager completely ruined what had been one of our favorite baby products. These new bags erase just about everything that had been a positive about the Dekor diaper disposal system.
Compared to the old refill bags, there are nothing but cons:
* The new bags completely fail to block any odor in at all. You'd might as well just pile the dirties in the corner of the room.
* The biodegradability is a sham appeal. Assuming that you're not buying biodegradable diapers as well, then what's the ecological benefit? This seems to be a bald-faced shakedown to take advantage of the "green craze" and people's good intentions.
* The new bags are a terrible value - 2 per box whereas it used to be 3 per. And so what if your container is Plus-sized when you now need to change it after every single deposit? The knots have always been the biggest waste of material, and you'll be running through them like mad with these new bags. I was stunned to see how quickly I have to replace these bags compared to the old ones - generally about every three weeks vs. the 8 - 10 weeks that I used to get.
However, despite my utter disappointment with the new refills, I'm still a fan of the Diaper Dekor system. Its ease and simplicity make everyday use a nonevent. I'm thinking about investing in one of the smaller-sized Dekors because the old refills are still available at some retailers in that size.
Customer Review: Regal-Lager should be ashamed.
Summary: 1 Stars
We have been using our Diaper Dekor Plus happily for a couple years, then they changed to these stupid biodegradable refill bags.
Who cares if the bag is biodegradable if it impedes what the product was designed to do? The Diaper Dekor was designed to "manage odor". These bags do not contain the odor.
Who cares if the bag is biodegradable if the diapers inside are not? I wish disposable diapers were more environmentally friendly, but the truth is they are not. So a biodegradable bag is a sham to get you to pay more for a "green solution" that serves no real purpose and fails to contain odor.
Who cares if the bag is biodegradable if the refills are sold in pairs rather than 3-per-box as before? If you were buying two boxes in the past (6 regular refills), you now have to buy three boxes (6 biodegradable refills). I suspect the "green benefit" of the biodegradable bags is more than offset by extra packaging.
They don't contain odor... biodegradable bags are unnecessary when they are wrapped around non-biodegradable diapers... the green impact is offset by additional packaging... And, oh yeah, now they cost more per refill.
Sheesh! Everything about this product change is BAD! I am just glad that my kids are all but done with diapers so that I can FreeCycle the Diaper Dekor Plus and prevent Regal-Lager from making another sale on this declining product that used to be highly rated by parents.
Customer Review: Used to be a great product; New bags make it useless!
Summary: 2 Stars
I've used the Diaper Dekor for 18 month now and loved it until I bought my first refill pack of the new biodegradable bags recently. They do absolutely nothing to contain the odor...the stench from my son's room wafts downstairs even if there is only a few poopy diapers.
I'm all for doing what we can for the environment. Like a previous poster, I too use Seventh Generation diapers and I also use environmentally friendly products whenever I can however, unlike that poster, I can't feel good about the benefits to the environment from using these bags if, in the process, I'm destroying the environment in my home!!!
I called the customer service number and the rep I spoke with was beyond disinterested and suggested I look for the old style bags on Ebay. When I pushed for more information, he did acknowledge that the opinions expressed here have been relayed to them by many, but he said there are no plans to improve the product or bring the old bags back.
The poor quality of the new bags was annoying but the company's lack of interest in the problems people are having was too much. I guess I need to purchase another system. Too bad, I really liked the Diaper Dekor a lot and had recommended it to many.
Customer Review: You Can Still Buy The OLD Refills Direct From Parent Company
Summary: 4 Stars
We needed refills for our Dekor Plus. Our baby is 8 months old and up til now, the Dekor Plus has worked flawlessly - odors stay trapped and our baby's nursery always smells great. In reading the reviews for the new style of refills (the bio-degradeable ones), I decided not to get those. My experience has been with the old style refills and thus, that's what I want to buy.
After reading someone else's review, I discovered you can still buy the old refills direct from the parent company, Regal-Lager. Makes sense: they have the inventory and stand to gain from selling it out.
So here's what I did. Called P: 770-955-5060. After a series of voice prompts I was put directly in touch with a rep. They took my order and now I'm set.
$21.95 for 3 pack plus
Seems that Regal-Lager has made a mistake in creating bio-degradeable refills. What sense does it make to make bio-degradeable pail liners when your stuffing them full of non-bio-degradeable diapers and materials?
Oh well. Stock up on the old refill liners while they last!
