Angelcare Nappy Disposal System

Love This Product! – We have been using the AngelCare nappy disposal bin since the birth of our first child - We cant live without it. It was easy and convenient to put together, and easy & convenient to use. I cannot highly recommend it enough for anyone with a baby - its going to be my go to gift for new parents. Show reply

Great product, Makes life easier! – Great product that we couldn’t live without! I always thought nappy bins were silly and a waste of money. But when we got this as a gift and started using it I was blown away with how easy and convenient it made changing nappies! Its a great size, easy to use and I have highly recommended it to all my mum friends! Show reply

Great product – We have been using the Angelcare nappy disposal bin for the last month. It works perfectly, no smell escapes the bin at all. We have used one refill so far and brought the bulk pack of refills to keep the price down. Our ensuite bathroom does not smell of soiled nappies at all. Thank you. Show details

Terrible- waste of money! – Complete waste of money, the bin itself doesn't work well as odour escapes and the refills are very expensive. The refills only last a week and a half for newborns so would be much shorter for older babies. This product was designed to get as much money as possible not on customer satisfaction. Show details

Great disposal system – The Disposal system is great, there is no mess when using it and there are no yucky smells when opening up the disposal system. However refills can get really expensive. I wish that the refill cartridge was more cost effective, having a baby in the family is already expensive enough!!

Bad design- trap door doesn't work – Bought the deluxe version as I liked the idea of hands free and also liked that the nappies weren't individually bagged so more environmentally friendly. At first this product worked great- kept in the smell and we loved the hands free. after about 2 months the trap door stopped opening when you pushed the pedal, so we had to push the nappies into… Read more

the bin which was gross, and as the trap door didn't seal properly the bin smelled. We exhchanged for a new one but it had the same problem, again after a few months. The theory is good but it's just badly designed so doesn't work.

Rubbish, expensive – What a waste of money, the bin it's self doesn't work well and the refills are very expensive. The refills do not last very long. Very disappointed! Who ever designed this was clearly money focussed sad it has to be at the expense of babies. Very angry I ever bought any liners to use this.

Doesn't work – I bought this as it appeared environmentally friendly compared to other nappy disposal systems (nappies weren't individually bagged). Good idea, but the mechanism doesn't work. You have to push the nappy all the way into the plastic bag. And the refills are expensive. Just buy a normal pedal bin and empty it daily.

Worst purchase. Threw out day 4 – Where do I start! From set up to actual use, this unit fails on all fronts. You have to get your hand right in there to push nappy in, then when taking out the bag you need to get your hand and face right in there... I threw it out when it came time to change the actual disc of bags (so expensive btw)... You need brut strength to open the lid,… Read more

which I don't have. So i picked it up and put it out for the rubbish man.... Don't buy it. Should be recalled.

Bad design. Not recommended – Have used for 6 months, replaced once due to faulty mechanism. Unfortunately exact same fault on replacement - all the inner workings collapse inwards and need resfitting. Awkward and complicated and inefficient. Pity as such a good concept with terrible design. DO NOT RECCOMEND. I'm afraid Would not buy again.

Not well thought out at all – Positives: Keeps smells in and baby out and looks streamlined and neat Negatives: needs 2 hands to use: no foot pedal so must open lid then push nappy in with significant force, leading to risk of poo on hands. Still need another bin for tissues/wipes as otherwise waste space and also need to push them down. Seems to fill up quite quickly and… Read more

changing bag seems gross and cumbersome because of the way the bin has to be flipped open. One cassette lasts under 2 weeks for a one year old, and we were using the bin only for poo nappies.

Would not recommend.

Does exactly what it says – Pretty happy with this. No smell at all and we live in the tropics so that is important. Simple disposal of used nappies/bags. Cassettes aren't cheap but works out about $10/month if ordered online via UK/ebay. I can live with that cost for the convenience. You do have to push the nappy through the door/flap thingy but not the traumatic experience… Read more

others have made it out to be given most nappies can be wrapped up and closed anyway. I haven't got any poo etc on my hand once yet. Oh, and Dean from Sydney who posted below... There is no foot pedal mate. That might be why you're having trouble using it.

Don't buy – Great idea pity it doesn't work. The pedal/napoy drop disposal part works one in 20 times the rest of the time i have to out my hand in to push the napoy through so defeats the purpose and stinks. Very dissapointed especially given the price of refills. Will be buying another brand

Waste of money – Idea is good but to bad it doesn't work. First one I purchased was faulty before I even got to use it. It was swapped over fora new one by the shop and the same thing is broken. The inner dispenser won't open and close how it is meant to and you end up having to stick your hand into the bin to push it through.

Angelcare Nappy Disposal System – I bought this second hand. Someone got it as a baby shower gift and never used it so it was brand new. I thought it would be great but it was terrible. The refills are super expensive. It also does not hide the smell. The bin stinks. It's foul. I would never recommend this to anyone. I don't understand why they make these in plastic. The plastic… Read more

seems to absorb the smell and make it worse. All bins should be metal as far as i'm concerned. It also had nothing to do with the length of time in the bin because it was emptied once a day.

Doesn't hide any odours at all. I felt it actually made everything smell even worse.

Hygenic and smell free bliss – After persevering with nappy bags and a standard flip top bin we caved in and bought an AngelCare nappy bin and have never looked back. The actual bin itself is not very expensive at all - it is the refill cartridges where they make the real $$$ so we just bought the bin from our local BabyBunting then purchase the refills for a much cheaper… Read more

price off ebay from the UK. Can easily justify spending $ on the refill cartridges as it makes getting rid of nappies hygenic and mess free. Hygiene and cleanliness Expense of refill cartridges

Read this before buying!!! – Great idea. Too bad it doesn't work. When you drop nappies inside, the mechanism doesn't stay open long enough for the nappy to drop through. It takes repeated presses of the foot pedal to drop the nappy through. It's not worth the price. I am going to get my money back and buy another brand. Looks great Doesn't work!

Can use normal garbage bags too – We like this product overall. We got a second hand one cheap off eBay in good condition. The refills are horribly expensive so we use large garbage bags and that works fine. Need to remember to pull the ends up, twist and knot it THEN open the lid up though. If we remove the lid and open that stinky bag it really does pong the room out. Tie first… Read more ·  1

then open, works fine. Am sure it smelt less when we used the refills but fine for us. You could also put pooey nappies in regular rubbish that's emptied more often and only wee onesin here if it bothered you. We've had the system 17m and it's going strong :-) Simple to use, can use normal bin liners, narrow and tall so fits into room easily and don't have to bend over too far Very expensive liner refills

Not a necessary purchase, but nice to have – We bought this as we have a 2 storey house and we didn't want to worry about running dirty nappies downstairs to the bin all the time. It has been great for that reason, s we only emptied it once a week and there was no smell. But as the baby has gotten older and we change him downstairs most of the time I have now started using it for every nappy… Read more

change and I empty the bin every 2-3 days. It contains all the smell and is very easy to use. It also keeps all the nappies into one bag so contains the smell in our main household bin too. The cartridges are expensive and should be bought in bulk online. Otherwise take tips from other users here and use your own bags. Not a necessary purchase, but it is convenient. Convenient and keeps smells at bay Cartridges are expensive

Great idea but refills don't last long enough – Very easy to use, locks away nappy smells very effectively. But cassette refills are expensive and don't last long enough. Made it a very costly thing to have. So instead we still use it but put each nappy in a nappy bag rather than using the refills. But using it this way means it doesn't contain the smells quite as good. Convenient, tidy, sanitary and smell free Refills are too small and expensive.

Excellent. Haven't had any problems – We would be so lost without the Angelcare Nappy Disposal System. Our friends recommended it to us, and now we recommend it to everyone. My mother-in-law has even brought a few as baby shower gifts for people. Yes, it does take some getting used to - finding how to open the lid to change the cartridge, etc, but once you know how, it is so simple… Read more ·  2

and easy to use. Everything - no smell, easy to change cartridges, easy to empty, no mess. Refill cartridges are expensive, but if you can afford it - buy in bulk direct from Angelcare

You can use any bin liner! – After using the Tommy tipee sagenic nappy disposal system for a few months I got frustrated paying $70 a month on bin liner cartridges so I went out on a hunt for a better deal I came across the angelcare system and having a look at it I noticed I could use my own bin liner and at the price of $39.95 I thought it was a bargain a purchased it… Read more ·  4

straight away I got home so excited to see of I could use my own liner so I slid my bin liner through the cartridge and wrapped the opening around the cartridge to keep it in place then placed it inside the system it works a treat and it doesn't affect the functionality of the system at all. I use large scented bin liners. I don't have any issue with smell using any bin liners makes it affordable. no smell quick amd.easy to use

Contains the smells really well!! – We bought this on sale at a baby expo - it is fantastic! It is quite tall, so it holds quite a few nappies, and to my surprise it really does hold in all the smells! It is simple to put together and takes about 30 seconds to change the plastic bag cartridge. The refills are expensive, but if u get them on sale they are not too bad. A cheaper… Read more

alternative to the cartridges is to just tie each nappy up in individual 'nappy sacks' and place them in the disposal system. This works just as well and the whole thing can be tipped out into the outdoor bin once full and still no smell. NO SMELL!!!!! tall, holds lots of nappies, easy to use expensive refill cartridges

dont buy! – In three words - don't buy it, from the day we brought it home it had problems & didn't work properly, the mechanism inside is useless and keeps detaching, you constantly have to open it up and fix it which is extremely frustrating. When you place a nappy in, the system doesn't open to drop the nappy. I am so disappointed, I wish I had bought another brand. It's tall everything else

Good – Very good. It's very convenient and it does what it is designed to do and keeps smells in. It does smell a bit when you open it up to change it but it is not too bad and I think you would have that with any disposable nappy bin system. I've heard that some of the other systems are not very good but we were very happy with the Angelcare one. … Read more

Can buy the refills from Big W or Pram Warehouse. Keeps smells from nappies contained. Easy to use (particularly in the middle of the night). Better for the environment as you use less plastic bags. You don't have to have plastic bags lying around which is safer around a baby. The refills do end up being quite a large expense. However, this is the case with any disposable nappy bin system. We now only use disposable nappies at night and on the odd occasion so obviously the refills are now lasting a lot longer which makes continued use a lot more affordable.

OK – We originally used this religiously and it served us well - until we calculated how much money were were spending on refills... it ended up costing a small fortune! Also we kept avoiding emptying it, although it is quite easy to empty, it's not a totally pleasant experience, mainly because the unit can hold quite a lot of nappies and therefore by… Read more

the time we emptied it there was almost a week's worth of poo in there. Now instead we use "nappy sacks" to wrap each individual nappy, it has ended up much cheaper. 1. Easy to use

2. Keeps smell away (except when emptying)

3. Looks ok (ie not too ugly, doesn't stand out) 1. Expensive refills

2. Very smelly to empty

Convenient but expensive – This unit works well but the refills are expensive to buy. Still, very good to keep smells at bay when baby is having lots of nappies changed everyday. Uses less plastic than other units, no smell Expensive refills

OK – Waste of money, as hubby & I both ignored it once it was full. Also, as mentioned above, if nappy is very full the contents squishes out as you push it into the bin. It stores all the nappies in one sausage-like bag, I would have chosen one that individually wraps each one. Thyat would have been easier to cope with empting. Better still - just… Read more

wrap them in nappy bags & put in normal bin. It did contain the smell quite well, and wet nappies were fine to put in bin. It is less messy & less smelly than an ordinary bin. Hard for curious hands to open up. Not as easy to work with a very full nappy, which is when you really want it to work. Totally gross to empty.

Excellent – Buy refils in bulk on line, cheaper. Doesn't use as much waste platic as other brands. Built in scissors for easy removal of bag No smell escapes, easy to use, looks good in baby's room, no mess disposal

Good product, but not an essential item – I was given one of these nappy bins as a gift and it was good however the refills were expensive and I got suck of using it. It does keep the smell out really well but I just felt like it was an unnecessary item and probably wouldn't have bought it myself. Kept the smell out. Expensive and unnecessary.

Good – Its a great system but some of the other brands seem to have their refills easily available in more stores. This disposal system is easy to use and looks nice in the nursery. Its lightweight and mess-free. This is a lifesaver when you have newborns because its so easy. Buying the refills can be a problem if you live in QLD. I have to buy them… Read more

online. Also if baby has a really stinky nappy the smell will come out of the bin when you open it, so its best to use it for wet nappies only or empty it straight away..

Excellent – We decided a nappy bin was esential to our nursery and we were debating between the Tommy Tippy and the Captiva. This one won as you use less bag, which means better for the environment. Unlike the Tommy Tippy one this unit doesn't waste extra bags with the twirly wirly thing, you just push the clamp and the nappy is gone in a bag below. Once full… Read more

you just cut off with the scissor in the unit and knot the two bags. This is one of the best things I have bought and only need to empty the bag once a week (unless it is full) and still no smell. Easy to use, no smell no fuss. Just stick the nappy in push the clamp and the nappy is gone. It would be good it there was a foot button to lift the lid.
