Ubbi Stainless Steel Venti Diaper Pail, Odor Locking, No Special Bag Required, Award-Winning, Registry Must-Have, White

Still the Best Diaper Pail Out There – Just Know You’ll Empty It More Often Over Time
We’ve been using the Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail since our daughter was a newborn—she’s now 16 months old. Around 14 months, we actually bought a second one and replaced our original. Not because it broke, but because we hoped a fresh start might help with odor control now that she’s eating solids and having more frequent bowel movements.What I’ve come to realize is that it’s not the diaper pail—it’s just the reality of toddler diapers. When she was younger, we could go 2-3 days without emptying it. Now, we really need to empty it daily or every other day to keep odors in check. That’s just part of the phase.Even with that, the Ubbi is excellent. The steel construction does a much better job of locking in odors compared to plastic pails we’ve tried, and the fact that you can use regular kitchen trash bags is a huge plus—no overpriced refill bags required. I’ve also started putting a small baking soda air freshener at the bottom of the pail, and that’s helped a bit too.After about a year of use with the first pail, I did notice a couple of subtle dents and a small rust mark on the exterior, but nothing that affected performance. Clearly, that didn’t stop me from buying another one!If you’re looking for a diaper pail that’s efficient, easy to use, and looks nice in the nursery, this one is still my go-to.

Loved so much I order 2
Easy to use. Keeps the smells out, an use any trash bag. World highly recommend! Fits get in any space with its small shape. Love all the styles they had to pick from.

Okay product, great customer service
I know this thing isn’t magic, it’s just a diaper pail, but at this price point I expected it to hold up a little better. My littlest is 8 months old and I haven’t even used this thing in 2 months because the rubber seal came off and after numerous attempts to get it back in place I finally got it, only to have it come loose the next time I opened the can. I really don’t want to have to re-place the seal every time I change out the bag. Speaking of changing out the bag, I would say about 80% of the time the bag catches on the little edges that protrude from the rim and tears when trying to remove it and the piece that holds the top of the bag comes off almost every time. One of my real hopes for this specific product was that it wouldn’t hold the smell like the previous plastic containers I’ve used. It does. I have to bleach it just as often as I did any of the other containers I’ve owned and at 3-4 times the price I’m not sure it’s worth it. I do like that it uses regular garbage bags, but I’m not sure it’s 4 times the price better than a regular garbage can. Especially as often as you have to empty it.**Update 01/20/13**Received comment from Ubbi in less than 24 hours asking me to contact customer service with my issues to see what could be done to fix my issues. Customer services take on the issues were as follows:Regarding the seal, bag catching, and bag holder detaching they concur those are results of design flaws and have offered to send me a replacement pail which is a wonderful response on the part of this company. They obviously recognize these issues with there product and are working to correct them as well as recognizing that customer are investing comparatively more in their product and want them to have a good experience.Regarding the issue I’m having with the smell, I got a long explanation about how the can will smell when you open it (which was not my issue. I absolutely expect it to smell when I open it to toss in a diaper or change the bag). The advice on that issue was to wait until the very last thing to throw the diaper away and then leave the room…not totally realistic when you have a grabby 8 month old on the changing table. My priority is to get the diaper off and out of reach as quickly as possible, but like I said the smell of opening it is expected. My issue was the can itself retaining the smell when in the product description it states powder coated steel doesn’t absorb odors which I interpreted to mean that the can itself wouldn’t hold the smell to the same degree as a plastic one. Which I remedy by bleaching or disinfecting the can. Their reply to this issue was that the can itself will retain smell no matter what, which I understand now but it would be nice to have a clearer explanation in the product description to give consumers clearer expectations. It was also suggested to me that I might want to flush the contents of a smellier diapers instead of placing them in the pail…they said the goal was to make my life easier…that particular suggestion does not make my life easier…the logistics of doing that while trying to wrangle and 8mo old just seems totally impractical. I was also advised not to clean the pail with anything except a dry cloth…I just don’t agree with that. I understand it can cause rust. I’m okay with a little rust, I’m not okay with whatever is causing the can to smell and I honestly feel like it due to its contents it needs to be cleaned occasionally just like all my other trash cans so coming up with better cleaning suggestions might also be helpful.I will update on the new pail once it arrives.I do believe they have excellent customer service, and that gained them an extra star. I also appreciate their willingness to stand behind their product enough to send me a new pail. I think providing a more accurate and detailed product description would go a long way towards managing the expectations of the customers. Is it worth the cost? Personally I probably wouldn’t spend my money on another one, but if you have realistic expectations of what you are purchasing the product is decent and the customer service seems to want to be helpful. If a friend asked me my opinion I’d tell them “it’s an okay product, but at least the customer service is good”

Great! Contains smell well
I love this diaper pale. Really user friendly and you’re not spending money on specific trash bags you can just use what you have. Of course this is not an odor eliminating trash can so when you open it you will get smacked in the face w a stench but it contains the smell perfectly when shut. And it has a lock function on it for when you have a curious toddler running around.

المنتج جدا ممتاز، عباره عن قمامة للحفائض وليس حصالة نقود كما هو ظاهر بالوصفتكتم الرائحة بشكل ممتاز جداافضل مايميزها اني لست بحاجه لشراء اكياس خاصه بهاالشئ الوحيد الذي يعيب المنتج هو سعره المرتفع

This product does not hold in the smell as it says. I washed it and still smells. Not worth the purchase.

Excelente producto, no se nota nada el olor. Gran plus lo de que en verdad sirve cualquier bolsa. Caben muchos pañales.Bonito diseño y colores.
