Most Helpful Reviews on the The First Years Clean Air Odor-Free Diaper Disposal

  • 5.0 out of 5 stars(5/5) – … This item has now broken on me TWICE. Despite my former rave reveiws, I’d love to also give it ZERO stars because now it’s only a receptacle for us–as good as a plain old garbage can. OLD, NAIVE REVIEW: We had a Diaper Genie, it’s a total waste of money and plastic…. We replaced it with THE FIRST YEARS CLEAN AIR DIAPER DISPOSAL SYSTEM. It’s awesome!…  (read more and buy it at Amazon.com)
  • 1.0 out of 5 stars(1/5) – I don’t know where to start. Maybe with the idea that not a single one of the engineers who made this product could possibly have had children or experience with infants….  I will make this review simple, detailed and effective. 1. The mechanism used to clamp the plastic bag shut is so loud and startling….  2. The clamp mechanism is very heavy and situated at the top of the unit….  3.

  • 1.0 out of 5 stars(1/5) – This pail requires that you use your hand to open the top then pry apart 2 plastic pieces to allow your child’s dirty diaper to drop in. The battery operated piece broke immediately. It does not contain smells…. (read more and buy it at Diapers.com)
  • 5.0 out of 5 stars(5/5) – I love that this uses cheap kitchen bags (30 gal) and it really does contain odors (when lid is closed)…. You do have to slam the lid hard for it to shut, but I don’t dispose of diapers while my baby is sleeping, so who cares? I also LOVE that this pail is EASY to wipe all parts clean w/ a disinfectant wipe…. (read more and buy it at Diapers.com)
  • 4.0 out of 5 stars(4/5) – This was a good buy for the price. It is definitely the best diaper pail I have tried after 2 babies. And NO ODORS…at all. The only problem is like another reviewer said THAT LID. It is loud when you close it. And FYI it works with kitchen bags but I was using the ones with a drawstring at first…Don’t do that….
