Couldn't Live Without It!
I, like MANY other people, couldn't decide between the Diaper Champ, or the more popular Diaper Genie. Well, I was sold on not having to buy special bags, so the Diaper Champ it was! I'm soooo glad I went with it! I haven't had ANY odor problem, and if the handle gets stuck, that's an indication that it's full...so just change the bag!
Don't be swayed by the negative reviews here. This is an excellent product. I've had mine for almost a year now...it sits right in between my sons crib and changing table. I change the bag about once every 5-6 days, and it couldn't be easier. I definitely recommend!

A "Must Have" for your nursery!
The Diaper Champ is GREAT!!! Our nursery has absolutely no dirty diaper smell. It uses any size liner so you don't have to buy special refills and it's very simple to change out. My sis and sis-in-law have both commented on how great it is compared to others they've seen or used. Be sure to put this on your registry!!!

Great price! Does the job!
I put this on my baby registry because several friends highly recommended it. My daughter just turned a year old and I still cannot complain, and neither can my husband (except when he has to empty it!).
Although the Diaper Champ does not keep the odor completely sealed, I am positive NO product out there can. A toddler's dirty diaper is unlike a newborn's, and considering what my daughter's diapers smell like now that she's on regular food, this product is amazing. Also, considering the number of poopy/wet diapers that go into the Diaper Champ on any given day, I am very pleased with the product.
We use large plastic bags from various stores that we shop at, thus helping the environment by reusing (green friendly!). I like the fact that we don't need a special bag or filter or anything like that.
The product is pretty much assembled and it is simple to use. Roll up the diaper and pull the tabs around it to seal it. Toss it into the Diaper Champ and flip it over. The diaper falls into the pail, and the odor is pretty much sealed in! To make sure it doesn't get stuck, change the bag regularly, make sure the sticky tabs on the diapers are not stuck to the side of the pail, and never throw in a wipe/tissue by itself. Spray the Diaper Champ weekly or bi-weekly with Lysol, and/or wipe it down with an antibacterial wipe. It really is user friendly and environmentally friendly compared to other similar products!

LOVE THE DIAPER CHAMP!!!
I have three children & I REALLY wish I'd had this pail when my first two were in diapers! I absolutely LOVE it!!! There are absolutely NO odors! My husband asked me how it would hold in odors after we first got it (before baby was born), and I told him I didn't know, but it DEFINITELY DOES! I cannot say enough how much I love this product! It is wonderful! As a bonus, IT USES REGULAR SHOPPING BAGS! NO BAGS TO BUY!!! :)

Terrible
This thing is terrible. Constant problems with turning the handle to deposit the diapers. Handle always gets stuck.

Please stop the stink
I would avoid this diaper pail unless you want a rancid blast of air in your face everytime you dare to swing the handle from one side of the pail to the other. Another nice feature of the diaper pail is the fact that wipes get lodged in the pail which prevents one from completely swinging the handle over. This results in a continuous struggle of having to jiggle and tug on the handle to get the wipe dislodged which causes even more blasts of fresh, i mean rancid, air to be released directly in your face. Buyer beware! seriously . . .

Disappointed and desperate
We lucked out - we didn't use any special diaper pail for the first year of our daughter's life. Every now and again a diaper needed to be thrown into a small plastic bag before thrown away, but all of this "diaper pail nonsense" (or so we thought) didn't seem to affect us.
As our daughter turned 12 months and started to walk, her ability to get into the trash can in her room increased and we decided something self-contained would be the best option. So we read our reviews and did our research and opted for the Champ.
What we did not anticipate was within a couple of weeks of our purchase, our entire house beginning to smell like dirty diapers (when only weeks earlier there was no smell).
And we do change the pail a few times a week and I do spray *very* liberally with Lysol between each use - but we are knocked out by the odor of the pail as soon as we walk into our house. I've even started taking it out of our daughter's room at night because the thought of her sleeping in that odor is more than I can bear.
With normal daily use, the odor is especially prominent when you add a new diaper - it seems as though the chamber piece sort of holds onto the odor that has risen up inside it and when you flip the handle to add a new diaper, you are shot in the face with the most foul odor you could imagine!
As best I can imagine, everyone's suspician is true - this version of the Champ has cheap, thin plastic that absorbs the diaper odors and can never truly be cleaned between use.
So now we're back to square one. The Diaper Champ has knocked us out for the last time. Must we swallow our pride and buy a Genie?!? :(

stick comes through
We've had this for over a year...stick still fills the room...seal is not good enough to prevent a room full of odor.

horrible, makes a room smell worse
After reading reviews we bought this thinking it would be more economical, since you don't need the special bags. It's so not worth it. Everytime you flip the lid it pushes this horrible smell into the room. I've tried baking soda, bleach, dryer sheets, vinegar-you name it, we tried it. And the residual smell of past diapers is still in there, nothing makes it go away. It still stinks. And now that my daughter is walking she flips the drum back and forth, you have to leave the room. We're switching to the diaper dekor, it actually works.

Bad design meets bad construction
The basic idea may be good but after 4 days I am ready to hurl this piece of junk out a window. Even when it worked "right" it was a pain because it is so cheaply made that it is very top-heavy. When you try to swing the lever to drop the diaper you have to stand firmly on the tiny foot braces with both feet, or the whole thing just falls over. That's mainly because the door thing doesn't work smoothly at the best of times, and now 4 days into it the seal ring is coming off and getting in the way making it nearly impossible to work. Add to that the fact that wipes, etc. are getting stuck and coming back out.
The only good thing about this product is that unlike most of the others it uses standard garbage bags. I wish it cost twice as much and was twice as well constructed -- if it worked right it would be well worth it -- but as it is it's a waste of money.
Especially if you're a new parent with your first child please believe the negative reviews and avoid this thing. The last thing you need with a new baby is to be stressed and angry over a stupid diaper pail.
