 Smaller than expectedSep 09, 2010
I thought this product was larger than it really is - Note that the Amazon dimensions must be the box it ships in. Under details it does state that this is only 16" high. This is more of a disappointment to me because I plan to use it for cloth diapers, and it doesn't look like it would hold more than 8-10 at most. The quality is what you'd expect for the price - adequate.
 I hate this diaper pail.Aug 23, 2010
I use pocket diapers (FuzziBunz brand). I needed a diaper pail with a foot lever and a place to put deodorizing disks. I bought this one because of the brand. Six months later, I still hate it as much as I did the first week.
It's too small. With two days' worth of diapers in it, the lid won't close.
Which is ironic, really, as the foot lever mechanism is so ineffective, the lid barely opens when I want it to. This means every time I have a dirty diaper, I step on that lever, the lid opens about 2-3 inches, and I then try to maneuver the dirty diaper into the pail without hitting any of the dirty diaper surfaces against the outside of the pail. Which is nearly impossible to do. So a long time ago, I just started lifting the lid up with my fingers, which creates a couple of other issues: that I then either have only one hand to remove the pocket insert from the diaper, or I have to first do that and then lift up the lid with a hand that's just touched the dirty diaper - which defeats the purpose of manually lifting the lid, to avoid getting the outside of the pail dirty.
A diaper pail is really a pretty simple concept: it needs to be big enough to hold 2 or 3 days' worth of diapers; it needs to open up without the use of hands; and it needs to accommodate some form of deodorizing system. This can does hold scented disks (sold separately) in the lid, so it gets two stars for that. Otherwise -- this is the worse flippin' diaper pail on the market, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why a brand as reputable as Safety First would even bother producing it.
Great but Really SmallAug 11, 2010
I'm taking full responsibility for the error, as dimensions are clearly listed and I should have paid more attention. This pail is very small though, so make sure that's what you want. As another reviewer wrote, it barely fits a day's worth of cloth diapers. It works great for what it is - odor stays in, the lid lifts when I push the pedal, etc., it's just nearly too small to really be of any use to me. If there was a larger one exactly like it, that would be the perfect pail, in my opinion.
 Save your moneyAug 09, 2010
This is a cheaply made bucket at a cheap price. Guess you get what you pay for. Top wont work with step feature, you have to open it yourself. Pretty useless. Consider a better made product.

Do Not Buy If You Have A DogJul 29, 2010
It's functional and uses your normal trash bags. Not bad in terms of odors from a full pail, either. At least, for humans. For dogs, on the other hand, it's an attractive nuisance. All they need to do is tip it, and the dirty diapers will spill out. We've had to clean up the mess too many times, and we're buying something to replace it.
