Diaper Dekor Plus Hands-Free Diaper Pail | Soft Blue | Easiest to Use | Just Step – Drop – Done | Doesn’t Absorb Odors | 20 Second Bag Change | Most Economical Refill System |Great for Cloth Diapers

Yes, reviewing a diaper pail is less than glamorous, but wanted to share a review after years of use and testing several brands.This Dekor Plus is by far the house favorite. We have now purchased another Dekor Plus to add to the newest’s arrivals room and wouldn’t think twice about another brand at this point.Overall, no diaper pail is perfect, they all have their cons, but this is the best diaper pail as far as upfront cost and from a refill budget perspective, as well as design and ease of use. For the most part, (we do use Poo-Pourri spray in our pails) it keeps the stinkiest of stinks in (unless someone forgets to tie the bag or close the door or leaves the flap open a little too long when dropping another diaper in) but it doesn’t require a stealth maneuver to get those nasty diapers into a tiny pail opening. The opening is large enough to just drop the mess in and can be used for regular trash once your kiddo ditches the diapers, so that’s another great plus to this pail. Refills are good (brand and off brand options), it can also take regular trash bags (if you can get scented trash bags, it’s equal to any refills as far as odors go) and works well if you forget to order refills in time. It’s easy to empty (internal bag cutter is nice too) and the step to open function is great. The internal flap lock is alright, for the little ones who can’t figure out how to use it yet (first kiddo figured it out pretty quick tho) but it really just gets in the way of one handed use, so we keep our flap unlocked anyway. (Did install a safety lock on the outside of one of the pails to prevent unwanted use). The pail is shorter than some (like compared to the munchkin step, which is much taller) but is wider, and again has a larger opening. Overall it holds around the same amount and requires a similar changeout schedule. It comes in several color options and seems to keep up with everyday use for years. If your looking for a diaper pail and want something easy and budget friendly, this is definitely a strong contender to consider.

I can’t believe my life has come to this, but I am writing a review abut diaper pails. But, I feel that my gained knowledge about #2s is worthy of being passed on, and although it might sound a little silly, I have become strangely enamored with my diaper pail, the Dekor.We have 5 kids, and over the years, I’ve changed a lot of diapers. The first diaper pail we got years ago was a diaper genie, and I was never a fan. My biggest complaint was that after you had changed the diaper, you had to push said stinky, gross, and sometimes - otherworldly large diaper thru a small hole on the genie… squishing it to fit into a small hole would often cause, let’s call it “spillage”, that would get poop on your hand, on the pail, and generally places where you don’t want poop. Remember, you are doing this while holding your bundle of everlasting joy in one arm while reaching down to stuff the otherworldly large diaper into an unfathomably small hole. Not an easy task.And then, we discovered the Dekor. It rocks. Why? It’s HANDS FREE. Game changer. It has a foot pedal that opens the pail, then you simply drop the diaper thru the trap door. That’s it! Let me tell you, when it’s 3 a.m., and you are a zombie from lack of sleep, you need this process to be as simple as possible. I shudder to think the number of diapers that I have changed over the years, but this diaper pail makes it a lot easier than it was with the Genie.There is another pail that we looked at, the Ubbi, that cost quite a bit more and is made of metal. I looked at in in the store, and it also requires bending over, and sliding a door open, inserting a diaper, and then sliding it closed when finished. Kind of a pain to do every time you change a diaper. It is made of metal, so it shouldn’t absorb odors like the diaper genie did, but the Dekor is made of ABS that doesn’t absorb odors either, so I don’t see the big deal. Another think about the metal pails. In my research (isn’t it a bit sad that I’ve done research? – We really need to get out more), the manufacturer says to clean with a dry cloth. No cleaning products or even water. Ok, that is just gross. With Dekor, clean with whatever household cleaner you want, let’s kill any germs that are hanging around.Bags. Different pails have different systems. Some use household kitchen bags, some use cartridges of bags. Dekor comes with a loaded refill, and in my opinion, that is the way to go. You use what you need, and then switch out the bag. We tried using a kitchen bag instead of the refill in the Dekor, and it was ok, but honestly, we preferred the refill. It’s always there and ready to go, you only use what you need, and in the long run I bet it costs about the same.Stink. Stank. Stunk. – (Prepare for more wisdom). Poop stinks. Shocking isn’t it? There's a reason every diaper pail that's been around more than a couple months has a bunch of 1 star reviews. Go look at all the other product. Notice they're all about 3.5 or 4 stars. Then click on the 1 star link for each of them and you'll see what I mean. You'll see dozens of people talk about how each product is terrible and every pail sticks to high heaven. Mostly that's because people have unrealistic expectations that buying a diaper pail means you never have to smell poopy diapers. This is compounded by the fact that the poop only starts to smell once your bundle of everlasting joy begins eating solids. So when you first bring the baby home you think everything is great and the pail is working perfectly and then all of the sudden the pail is terrible and horrible and is broken... Well it's not broken, your baby's poop just didn't used to stink and now it does. Here's the truth, no matter which on you buy, you're gonna smell poop. whether it's when you open the lid or remove the bag, they all allow a little stank to escape. Dekor is no different, it just allows less than the others. Sometimes we go a few days between changing the bag, sometimes we switch it out quicker due to one of those otherworldly poops. The box for the Dekor says it can hold 60 diapers. We might have gone close to that with some newborn diapers, but once the poop got serious, we never waited that long.Reading back over this, I can’t believe I just wrote a manifesto on diaper pails. But, I thought I would share some of the knowledge I have gained over thousands of diapers. I just think the Dekor works. It’s the easiest to use of all the diaper pails by far, and handles the smell. I highly recommend it.

Bought this for my mom's pull ups and diapers. She has dementia and Parkinson's. I used to use just a regular trash can. It always smelled up her room no matter how many times I sprayed, threw out the trash or air purified it. We were throwing out the bags every other day to keep the smell down. With THIS, it is sealed. I can wrap up her items and drop them in. When it is time to pull the trash, it is easy and little to no smell at all. Still new to using so we shall see further along.

Love the foot pedal keeping my hands free..no smelly nursery. Decently sized.

Sin duda alguna sería el regalo perfecto para un baby shower, es un material confiable, vale lo que cuesta.

Using this since my baby was born. Prevents the smell of used diapers so well. Easy to put the diaper into this even when I'm holding a baby in my arm. Also, easy to install the new bags👍

I have two pails which I have been using for 2 years. I use one for pee in the bedroom and one for poo in the bathroom. Pee has no smell. The poo initially had no smell except for a quick waft once you open. I change every few days. After using the poo pail for a while I do find you need to let it air out and deodorize (the longer the better). I find myself otherwise smelling the poo if i bend my head down to open a drawer or something, then i will suddenly catch a bit of a poo smell. I have a sensitive nose and reallllly hate any lingering smell permeating. Gross.If anyone is curious I also used this pail for my cats before my child was born. Cat urine and poo is so incredibly stinky. The pail did an okay job but once the weather got hot I found the smell permeating and it was unbearable. I let the pail air out outside for a few days and deodorized/sanitized and the smell went away. The same pail I later used for my sons poo diapers with no lingering cat smells. So I think if you periodically clean and air out your dekor pail it will serve you well!Also. Love the bags. Soooo easy. Who wants to shove their hand in some suctioned poopy bag? No thank you.Highly recommend this pail!

I love this pail. N now you will ask me, how can I love this, its a bin with diaper full if soo n poo. Easy, I never have to see or smell once its dropped inside, just open bottom with easy access door, cut, tie both ends n you done.Its easy to clean, durable and top value for money.10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
