You pay for the simplicity and lack of smell, but it fails as the diapers grow stinkier with baby age., 24 Oct. 2010

We own both this model as well as the older model (purple top). Although both do the job of making diaper disposal easy and mess and odor free, the new model is better in most regards.

Pros

- Less use of plastic in the disposable cassette. The old model was a real environmental criminal

- Tighter packing of the diapers. We can easily get 20+ small diapers in the bin, almost twice as many as the old model. Further, there is a lot less bag used (probably 50% less) per diaper in the new model because of the improved wrapping technique

- No need to push the bag down to create a new drop zone for the next diaper - the lid takes care of that task

Cons

- There is still a lot of waste in the plastic cartridge

- The knob to turn the bag is a lot easier to use in the old model

Hints

- Turn the knob two full turns. It uses almost no extra bag but helps to create a nice tight "sausage"

- Push the diaper down far enough so the...

How did I ever cope without one??, 6 Jun. 2013

Admittedly when I first saw this bin I thought to myself that it was an overpriced bin and that I could quite happily get by with my usual swing bin and roll of bin liners.

Then the lovely summer weather arrived (the type that's completely alien to the UK!) and then the room had heat. And the most awful smell. So I emptied the bin and resolved I would change it more often, every day in fact. It still didn't resolve the smell as it would begin to smell funky by evening even though changed earlier that day. So I thought I would take each nappy (in a nappy sack) to the bin outside and put it in a binbag inside. Ha...that worked all of a few hours before the novelty wore off.

So I thought I would chance it and see what all the fuss was about and purchased a glorified overpriced bin. Then I used it.

I take it all back, This is the best invention ever!! Take the nappy, push it through the slot and turn the wheel. Gone, wrapped up within the liner and...

Simple, easy., 24 Oct. 2009

I like this product because it does what it says -- makes nappies go away. There are a few of these on the market, it was tough choosing among them. But the Tippee sangenic one is great.

a) easy to open with one hand

b) easy to put the nappy into (although you do have to push it in ALL the way)

c) our baby is almost 6 weeks old and we've gone through three of the bag cassettes, so you don't have to refill that often.

d) no smell

e) emptying easy, just pop the top off, unhook the bag, and dump it

f) easy to reset it once you've followed the instructions (even my wife can do it)

g) easy to clean, we just have some antibacterial wipes, the whole thing is smooth plastic so you can just wipe it and go.

Only thing I wish is that the bin attached was 50% bigger; you do end up emptying the attached bin just about every 3 days or so. But I guess there's a tradeoff between size (you can sneak this pretty much anywhere in the nursery) and my...
