Clean Air Odor-Free Diaper Pail and Filters

Comments about The First Years Clean Air Odor-Freeâ„¢ Diaper Pail:

I always had a problem with the plastic part that pushes the dirty diaper into the bag when you close the system. Sometimes the part came off and fell into the trash bag. I once had to fish it out of my trash bin after discoving the part missing. This time, I was too late to find it was missing and is now gone forever and I can't find the replacement part online to buy! Now the whole thing is useless.

I had gotten this garbage can for my son before he was born, he is now 20 months old. Its amazing, my friends and family have the diaper genie, diaper champ and the diaper dekor plus and every time I go ito their childs bedroom I can smell the dirty diapers and its nasty!! My sister did not realize until she walked into my sons room with no smells that it was time to switch. I can say yes it makes a loud noise but my son is now 20 months old and it has never woke him from a sound sleep and he never really pooped in the middle of the night and if he did he was still in my room. So the pee pee diaper could wait till the morning if they are not sound sound asleep. But Its great! I'm going to potty train in a week or so but I will be saving it for the next! I can deal with the click but I cant deal with my son sleeping in a room that smells of waste!

I have three girls and had two different varieties of the diaper genie before this one. I have been using mine for 18 months, and it is still holding up. I am buying another for the downstairs. I will say that you must replace the filters because it gets a little ripe if the batteries die or the filter is old. I have found if you use the odor blocking trash bags it works even better.

This worked really well, at first. No odors at all. It is loud, but if I was changing DD's diaper she was awake anyway, so I didn't worry about the noise (except for my husband at 3 am). However, the fan died about 6 months in, which made a huge odor difference if the can wasn't latched tightly enough. The plunger on top does fall off often, but I believe it is made to be easily removed so that you can clean it periodically, which was definitely necessary. By 18 months however, one of the hinges has broken completely and the closing mechanism has broken, so that it is just basically a loud trashcan. Still, it worked well while it worked, I still never smell a thing unless it doesn't latch all the way(and we are in the giant stinky toddler poo stage), is much simpler than the diaper genie, and we saved a ton on trashbags. So I still think we got good usage for the money spent.

This diaper pail really is oder free!! Cons: I've had 2 break on me in the past year. I'm on my 3rd one. The latest one is much improved!! Easier to open and close and it has an on/off switch, instead of a button...the kids were always pushing the button to off. [...] Overall, it's the best "oder free" diaper pail I've ever used. I have 4 kids.

This product really eliminates the smell of dirty diapers. You do have to wrap the diapers up compactly -- you can't just toss it in there or else it won't push through easily. I've never had a diaper get stuck. I will admit that it is costly to replace the filter and batteries, but the fact that my whole upstairs does not stink like dirty dipers is worth it to me.

This diaper pail works well at keeping the odors away. Plus it uses your own kitchen trash bags, so no extra money is spent on special bags. The filter needs replacing ever 90 days and it runs on 4 D batteries but my son’s room never smells. That is the most important thing when it comes to diaper pails.

The only negatives about this unit are:
1. The top of the pail has to be close very hard to shut it and will defiantly wake a sleeping baby or child. It would be better if it had a foot pedal that opened it up and shut it quietly like a trash can.

2. The other gripe is the piece that pushes the diapers into the pail often comes off and this drove me crazy until I super glued it. Now it does the job without falling off.

We used the Diaper Champ for several years, and were looking for something better when we had twins. The Diaper Champ worked well, but the pail eventually starts to smell. This one seems to mask odors better, but there's a very loud click when opening and closing the lid, so I can't use it at night or naptime. As other users also mentioned, sometimes the diapers don't get pushed into the pail and I have to push it in myself. For the price, inconvenience, and annoyance (the top also comes off quite frequently and is not always easy to get back on), I'd go back to the Diaper Champ and just replace it every year.

We were using a Diaper Champ and it just got to the point where our 2 year old's room just smelled all the time. Sure, it's convenient and easy to use, but the smell was getting awful. With #2 on the way, we started looking for an alternative. We got this one, not really believing it would do away with odors, but were luckily proved wrong! While some odors escape when removing the bag, it pretty much does away with the odors escaping in between bag changes and our son's room no longer smells yucky. The lid is a bit tough to open with one hand - you really have to force it and it seems like you will break it, but that's how it works, I guess. It doesn't always drop the diapers in, either, so sometimes there is a diaper stuck halfway the next time we go to use it, but at least it still doesn't smell. It is also as quiet as they say it is. You don't even know that the fan is on except for the little green light (which I have to keep an eye on because my son loves to push the on/off button). Definitely recommend!

I think this diaper pail is great! There is no more suspicious odor in the nursery. It does require batteries and filters, but it's a small price to pay for not needing an air freshener. It's a bit more work to load the garbage bag, and the filter just removes the odor while the diapers are in the pail, NOT when you remove them, but it actually works! Highly recommended!

This product is a complete disappointment. The filters smells almost as bad as the diapers and doesn't cover the diaper smell very well. We spend as much money on batteries, filters and trash bags as we did on refills for our old diaper pail. The bottom of the device comes apart when we open it to change the bag. Worst of all, the cone on the inside of the lid is supposed to push the diapers down so you don't have to put your hand in to push the diaper down. The cone in ours does not stay in place and we have to do it manually, which defeats the purpose.

We had a diaper genie for one year with first child. It was only marginally effective with diaper odors and seemed to wear out in less than 1 year. We bought this unit in anticipation of the second child and love it! The odors are virtually non-existant and it uses regular tall kitchen garbage bags. We would recommend you take the unit outside to change the bags though as they are quite fragrant.

This is by far the best diaper pail out there and the price is outstanding as well. It really keeps the baby's room from smelling and with two babies under two, I am always putting diapers in there. I highly recommend this.

This diaper pail really is great. The only downside I could say is that the bags get weighed down pretty quickly (I have a 2 year old aand a newborn.) I have to change the bags at least every 2 days. Otherwise, once you get the hang of how the pail works, it is great. It took us a while to figure out that you have to make sure the lid is closed and you hear it click so that the fan will work and keep the odors out. But the great thing is that it takes regular trash bags, and it def keeps the odors at bay like it says it will!

This product works a million times better than any other i've tried. I have 6 kids in diapers at my in home daycare and smell from the diaper pail was always a problem. not any more, it truely is odor free. one hand operation (i do not have any problems w/the lid as in the other review). other key features include no noise fan, long lasting carbon filters, uses normal 13gal. trash bags, and easy to empty/refill. once the container starts to fill up the inner jaws (that keep the bag closed) do get some pressure and remain open ever so slightly. I thought this would lead to increased odors but it hasn't. I am going to try and put something in the bottom of the pail to raise its bottom height. i think that the trash bags hang a bit and cause it to pull once its filling up. Putting something in the bottom should solve that pulling problem. I'd give it five stars if it wasn't for the pulling bags once close to full but if you don't so many kids in diapers i'm sure that won't be so much of a problem anyway. i highly recommend it to anyone; its been a huge improvement in my house.
