Customer Review: A diaper pail I can actually recommend
Summary: 4 Stars
When we needed another diaper pail for a new baby, I went to the shops pretty unenthusiastically. From reading the reviews, it seems none of the diaper pails really works well - they all had lots of issues. But our old Diaper Dekor Plus Diaper Disposal System had worked out OK for us, so I went in search of a second one - the devil you know, and all that.
But I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Diaper Dekor Plus had been substantiallly redesigned and much improved. It's not perfect, and won't eliminate all of the smell, but if the pros and cons match your needs it is recommended.
I'd also add one key point - the new refills aren't popular with many owners, understandably. But rather than using the refills, we started using regular tall kitchen size (13 gallon) trash bags, just because they were easier to find and seemed to do as good or better with the smell. You can of course try the refills or alternatives and see what works for you.
The basic idea is that this has a pedal you step on to open the lid, and you drop the diaper though a trap door into the bin. That's it, so it's quick and easy. The drawback is that the diapers aren't entirely sealed up - there's some smell released when you put a diaper in, and when you empty the pail. In addition, you need to clean the trap door from time to time (though folding the diaper up so there's nothing nasty on the outside reduces how often you have to do that). That works, on balance, for us - but I can see how others might prefer something else.
Relative to the Diaper Genie pails (which seal the diapers by twisting the plastic around them) or other systems, the advantages they pitch for the Diaper Dekor are "No inserting [the diaper way into the pail], No Twisting, No Pushing, No Filters, No Batteries." And for us, that's a better fit: There's always a lot going on at diaper changing time, especially with babies, so we'd rather have something that you can use with one hand, quickly. And something quiet. Though others may prefer the more sealed Diaper Genie system.
By the way, the diapers for young babies, especially breast fed babies, don't smell much - that's not a tough test, so most of the diaper pails will seem great during that stage. If it's your first child, hold off until your child is eating regular food before you write a review about how well it's working!
To compare it to the previous version - if you know the old system, it was far too easy for toddlers to open, and it wasn't as easy to use the foot pedal as it should have been. Those issues have been addressed:
- the foot pedal, to open the lid, is much larger and has been moved inwards, making it much less prone to tipping on a carpet or other uneven surface.
- the outer lid (which opens when you drop a diaper in) has a smaller handle, making it more difficult for toddlers to open
- the inner trap door, where you drop the diaper, is now a single door, not a split door, and can be locked with a wheel to keep toddlers out. Of course, keeping it locked is not really going to be convenient on an every day basis, but lots of toddlers will learn that it's locked and stop trying to open it, at which point you can unlock it. And it's there if you need it. So it's a definite plus.
- the larger top lid (which you open only to change the refill or bag) now has reasonably toddler-proof closure.
- the large front door (again, used only when changing the bag) is also pretty toddler-proof.
- the top section inside is now spring-loaded to improve the seal
I don't know whether to give Regal Lager (the maker of the Diaper Dekor) compliments for improving their design, or brickbats for having released the old version with several issues that would have been obvious if they'd let some real parents use it for a week. So we'll call it a draw. But of course the new product stands on its own.
I can't say I like the colors, rather than the silver trim colr I wish they'd stayed with all white or an off white if they felt they needed to get stylish.
By the way, if you're wondering whether to get the Plus size or the regular size ... I'd say that if you're going to empty it more than once a day, the smaller size might work, but it seems no matter what size your little darling is, they can quickly fill up the Plus. Babies go through lots of diapers. Then as they grow their diapers get bigger. So except in the tightest of spaces, the Plus seems like the way to go.
