I was excited about this diaper pail as I'd heard so many good things about it. However the flip doors in the lid have broken twice (both times a spring seems to be wearing out in the same way). My son is only 16 months old, and I expected to use this diaper pail at least another year. Diaper Dekor has replaced the lid once already, which they did very graciously and expediently. I am going to ask them to replace it again, but am aggravated that I am having to deal with this twice. AND even putting diapers in ziplocs before disposing of them doesn't help this pail contain the smell now that my son is older. I would try another diaper pail if I was buying one again.
