Keep Your Home Smelling Fresh and Clean
By the time your baby is potty trained, you'll likely have changed over 6,000 diapers. If you want your home to stay fresh and clean, you need a healthier and longer-lasting solution than simply tossing the diapers in the trash or spraying chemical-laden air fresheners throughout your home. The Arm & Hammer? Diaper Pail by Munchkin is the perfect solution.

The Natural Odor-Eliminating Power of Baking Soda
When it comes to nurseries, moms have been coming up with fresh answers longer than anyone. That's why the Diaper Pail is designed around one of mom's most tried-and-true solutions--the natural power of ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda.

A built-in vented dispenser sprinkles pure and natural ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda each time the lid is closed and absorbs odors when not in use. To make things even easier, the prefilled dispenser lasts 90 days and is a snap to refill.

Self-Sealing System Traps Odor
The Arm & Hammer? Diaper Pail doesn't require special tools or accessories to operate. You simply push the soiled diaper through the seal and into the easy-loading, unscented bag, and then close the lid.

To reinforce the odor control properties of the baking soda, the Arm & Hammer? Diaper Pail features a patented system that automatically seals the bag when the lid is closed and keeps it sealed whenever the lid is reopened. Odors stay contained and can't escape.

Easy, One-Handed Use
Because being a mom means you have no time to waste, the Arm & Hammer? Diaper Pail is exceptionally easy to use. The disposable refill bags--each of which can hold up to 25 diapers--shut tight with a simple snap, and they can be tossed or replaced without cutting or tying. And for those times when you're holding your baby, the Arm & Hammer? Diaper Pail can be operated with just one hand. Additionally, the locking, oversized door clicks into the open position, so it's quick to load and unload bags.

The Diaper Pail measures 21 x 11 inches (HxD), weighs just four pounds, and arrives fully assembled with three refill bags.

What's in the Box
Diaper Pail with dispenser; three refill bags; and manual.

Baby Products Reviews of Munchkin Arm and Hammer Diaper Pail, White

Customer Review: The WORST possible REVIEW: This is a MUST READ before you buy....
Summary: 1 Stars

I would recommend in the strongest possible way no one ever buy this product. The other reviews of this product are all too kind and they say so in their descriptions. All of them point out that the product does not work smoothly or seem to do anything magically different, they also seem to give 3+ stars without comparing the product to anything else. I have compared the product to something else...a regular trash can...and the regular trash can was better. And the regular trash can didn't even have a lid on it. A family friend also purchased this thing and has the exact same complaints. Namely that the lid gets stuck, that you have to hunch over and shove the diapers into the pail, and that you have to buy replacement bags every month or few weeks. In the end this thing is a waste of money and is simply worse than a regular old trash can. Detailed descriptions below...

The Munchkin:

1) There are major issues with the lid. The lid is supposed to keep out odors while sprinkling a tiny (really tiny) amount of baking soda as you close it and initiating a mechanical twist of the bag to further seal off the odors. However, the lid is constantly fighting with the mechanics that twist the bag creating, starting when then bag gets about half full, a series of sounds reminiscent of small arms fire. Crack...crack crack...crack... You will live in constant fear of a late night gun battle playing out in the child's room leading to a screaming sleepy cranky baby. Closing the lid twists the top part of the bag in a ring of rubber shark-like teeth thereby closing off the bag as well. However, the lid will often simply get stuck open because these rubber teeth put too much pressure on the mechanics of the lid. This forces you to stick your hand into the pail itself and move the bag around to relieve the pressure so the lid will close. Think about it...you have to stick your hand into the very closure intended to keep odors out. Very often you have to decide between fixing the lid or picking up a now grumpy baby.

2) The rubber teeth are a pain. Often the rubber teeth create to much counter pressure to the closing of the lid and the entire process comes to a plastic cracking halt. Even if the lid works correctly you still have to shove the diaper through the rubber teeth. You can not just drop a diaper in, instead you have to jam it through the teeth. Every time you change a diaper you have to bend down and shove your hand through a set of rubber teeth two feet off the floor. And two feet off the floor is correct. This thing barely comes up to my kneecaps. Think about it...even when working 100% correctly you have to bend over two feet and jam your fist partially through a set of rubber teeth. How is that better than dropping a diaper into a bucket?

3) What's the deal with the bags? I mean..for serious? A bag lasts you maybe 4 days at a max and more like 48 hours. Munchkin wants you to fork out whatever bucks a month for replacement bags? I think this is the entire reason for the mechanical twisting of the bags and not to keep in smells. The tops of the bags have plastic ring you set into the top of the pail and which then snaps into place. The replacement bags are only 5-10 bucks a box but it seems like a real scam. I have tried two things. A) I wondered what would happen if I re-used one of the Munchkin bags. Nothing bad happened at all. I dumped the diapers into the outside trash and put the bag back. No smells, no nastiness, nothing bad happened at all. I used the same bag for two weeks rather than two days. After two weeks of us there were still no smells. B) I then decided to try a regular trash bag. It worked fine. You just have to leave a bit of the bag sticking out beyond the lid to make sure the rubber teeth don't pull the thing completely into the pail when you close the lid.

4) The baking soda does nothing. A novel idea sure. But, like the twisting of the bags, it seems like a gimmick. The level of baking soda dropped into the bag when you close the lid is minor and the baking soda compartment is totally closed off. I do not see how either is doing much to absorb odors.

Alternatives:

The only alternative I have used is an old plastic trash can with an open bag in it and no lid. I dropped diapers in it for 5 days without emptying it. No smells whatsoever. Half the time it was nice out and we had the windows open. The other half of the time it was 90 degrees and the air conditioning was on. In both cases it worked out fine. No smells.

Conclusions:

Do not buy this munchkin monstrosity. Every time you use it you will wonder if the lid will close or start making cracking noises as it struggles to twist the bag. Buy a trashcan with a lid. Maybe one with a step lid. And if your kid makes a smelly one. Empty the trash can. Why would you want to keep that stuff inside a nursery anyway? The munchkin is a gimmicky thing and not worth it at all. It seems like a great idea but in actuality the thing does not work!
