Customer Reviews
IGNORE BAD REVIEWS!! GREAT PRODUCT...NO BAD SMELLS HERE!!!!
I originally put this item on my baby registry because friends of mine highly recommended the use of a diaper pail. I decided to go with the Diaper Champ rather than the more popular Diaper Genie, because I didn't like the idea of having to buy special bags. Too costly and not efficient if you ask me!
THIS PRODUCT IS A LIFESAVER!! I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ODOR PROBLEM!
No one has ever come to my house and noticed 'diaper odor.' In fact, people who have been present while I changed my almost 3 month old son's diaper have been amazed at how the very 'potent' smell of the dirty diaper seems to disappear once I dispose of the diaper in the Diaper Champ.
For those who are experiencing odor problems, here are some suggestions which should solve the problem:
1. CHANGE BAGS FREQUENTLY!! I change mine about 1 or 2 times a week. For those who complain that the pail gets stuck, that is probably a good indication that the BAG IS GETTING TOO FULL!! Also, making sure that the tape on the diapers is secure will prevent that from happening as well.
2. YOU STILL HAVE TO CLEAN THE THING!! Hello, it does house dirty diapers!! All I do is wipe it down with some antibacterial wipes (takes about 10 seconds!!) and then maybe spray some Lysol in it and let it air out for a minute or two. SIMPLE AND IT WORKS!
Also, for those that complain that the Diaper Champ isn't as effective as time passes, keep the following in mind:
AS BABIES GET OLDER, THEIR DIETS CHANGES (aka SOLID FOODS!) AND SO DOES THE SMELL OF THEIR DIAPERS!
In talking with other parents, I get the same feedback - as babies get older and become toddlers, ALL DIAPER PAILS become gradually less and less effective until they are just no longer useful. Again, this is because as their diet changes, so does the consistency and odor of their stool, in other words, it gets stinkier!!!
All in all, this product is definitely one I would recommend and certainly worth the very reasonable price.
Diaper Champ KOs the Competition
Cost IS a Factor
We try and watch are money (like most folks) and in comparing the Diaper Champ to the Diaper Genie it was a hands down winner!
We looked at the Diaper Genie, even had a recommendation from another couple for it while shopping but, still there was this hesitation....proprietary bags.
My wife and I discussed it briefly. I offered that the D.G. locked us into some expensive bags, where the Diaper Champ didn't. However, I DID agree that if the Champ was ever "retired" for poor odor control we'd rub that magic lamp and get a Diaper Genie!
What We Discovered Outside the Ring (Home)
Once I got the Champ out of the box just pop the main basket into the base, put in a bag and you're ready for Round One!
I discovered that the Champ was a little tough to open. There is a tab on one side of the unit that must be lifted to access the bag. My wife nearly broke a fingernail trying to open it. (Maybe she just wanted me to take the full bags out?) ;-)
Daily Operation is a Breeze
Once you've folded the diaper up drop it in the shoot and move the handle over. This forces the weighted plunger to push the diaper in the bag. Super easy...no hand cranking!
The seal has dislodged a bit but this has had no negative impact on blocking the odors.

Yes
Easy to use (one handed!) and no smells!
We have been using our Diaper Champ for almost 14 months now and we are very happy with it. It sits in the corner of our bathroom and we have never had any problems with odors at all (and we live in the damp and humid South, where odors of all kinds are generally rife). It is easy to install and change the ordinary trash bags, easy to clean, and most important, easy to use one handed - just insert folded dirty diaper and flip the handle. As the bag fills, you may need to flip twice to ensure that the weighted cylinder has completely pushed the diaper into the bag. For the first 9 months or so, we only needed to empty this once a week. Now that our son's diapers are a little larger, they take up more space, and we empty twice a week. We have never had any problems with anything like loose wipes getting stuck (we always wrap them in the dirty diaper). It is a bit difficult to get the unit open (the advice to take it slowly is sound), but now that our son is walking and exploring, I consider this a positive attribute!
Update (March 2005): My son has been out of diapers for almost 2 years now, but the Diaper Champ hung in there till the very end - easy to use, no problems with odors, and one of the best bargains among all of the paraphernalia required for the modern baby :-)
