Diaper Dekor is only so-so

by M. Argo 2008-04-01

I bought this for my first baby and at first it was great. When the diapers are not that stinky, the dekor is a good diaper pail. When you start to give your baby food and the diapers begin to smell, then the dekor starts to smell. You could walk into her room and it was awful. (and yes, I would change the dekor often) Which was another issue - having to purchase their refills got to be pretty pricey. We just had our second daughter 2 months ago and we had to get a different one - we could not even wash the smell out of the diaper dekor - we threw it in the trash. :o(

A MUST have!!!

by Megan L. Porcaro 2008-03-17

We bought the Diaper Dekor because we knew people who had trouble with the Diaper Genie. The Genie was overkill, tedious and too much work. The Dekor has been fabulous! I can't say enough about this thing. My son just turned 2 and it's still working. We change the bag every week or when there's a particularly bad diaper. Hey, no diaper pail is going to keep a really bad diaper from filling a room when you change your baby. But the Dekor doesn't smell, doesn't hold odor...after 2 years! It's easy, simple, easy to clean, works perfectly, and will now serve our baby #2. Buy this! Don't mess with Diaper Genie or expensive complicated procedures, you won't have time. This is a gimmick free blessing. We bought 3 boxes of refills when my son was born, we just used them up 2 years later. What a deal!

Too Smelly

by D. Nevares-Russ 2007-06-03

It is good for new born mess, but once the little ones start to really start filling their diaper it stinks. We loved it at first then when our little girls diapers started to fill up it really started to stink

Super convenient, but couldn't hold up to "solid food" smells

by Emily S. Lakdawalla 2007-03-21

I've used the Diaper Dekor since the birth of my now 7-month-old daughter and I loved it to begin with. Very easy one-hand use--step on the pedal, drop the diaper through the flap, very easy to tie off a bag when it became full. In the beginning, it handled odors well too; even smelly diapers didn't cause problems. But as soon as I started feeding solid foods, things changed. It proved completely incapable of containing the ghastly stench of those diapers. My daughter's room is at the top of our stairs, and the stench didn't just fill the room, it flowed out her door and down the stairwell, so we were treated to a powerful whiff every time we walked upstairs. I took to leaving her window open and the fan on to air out the room during the day and emptying the pail before bedtime at night in order to prevent it from stinking up the house. That lasted a week -- I just bought a new pail (a Diaper Genie 2) and I hope that works better.

Wow- Something that really works!

by Elizabeth Davidson 2007-03-11

When trying to decide what we needed and didn't need for our daughter, I knew we needed something to contain diapers. We had no desire to trek out to the trash can at every change (especially those first weeks at all hours of the day and night!). Basically for me it came down to Diaper Genie or the Diaper Dekor. I considered the price of refills, reviews, and the advice of a friend who works in daycare and went with the Diaper Dekor.

We love it!!! It has done a wonderful job and the refills have lasted longer than I would have ever imagined. The dekor came with one fill- and we've not gone through an entire box of refills yet. Our daughter is 7 months old now, she's eating solids and some of those diapers are pretty nasty. However, a quick change and drop into the Dekor and no more smell. Plus, it is just as easy to toss in wipes and other related trash items instead of wasting refills or tracking it through the house.

The ONLY time we've ever had a smell-- is when we've had it open and the inner doors open to put in another diaper. As soon as it closes-- no more smell.

Those who swear by their Diaper Genies-- I don't think it is an accident that the recent redesign of the DG basically resembles the DD in design and function. I personally think we'll get a lot more use out of the DD down the line.

I highly recommend the Diaper Dekor for your nursery!!!
