Overview

Description

The Munchkin UV Diaper Pail uses the power of hospital-grade UV light to eliminate odor causing bacteria and germs. The patented self-sealing system keeps the disposal bag shut and free of smells, even when you open the lid. Four gold LED lights automatically sterilize internal surfaces, killing up to 99% of bacteria and viruses.

The UV Diaper Pail comes fully assembled and ready to plug in and use (the heart glows while sterilizing). It includes the UV Diaper Pail, USB cable and adapter, one UV Refill Ring and one UV Snap, Seal & Toss Bag.

Bundle option: You can also get the above and two extra Refill Rings as a bundle (just select that option). The Refill Rings maximize transmission of UV light through the film to control odor and germs. Each Ring provides enough room to hold 272 diapers (544 diapers total).

Any bag that fits will technically work with this pail, but for the best results and features, it's recommended to use the UV Snap, Seal & Toss bags.

Cheaply made
Feels just really really cheap for what it costs. Feels like it’s going to break every time you open and close it. Not impressed.

Dislike
Was hopeful but really dislike this diaper pail. In order to put anything in it, you have to shove your entire hand in to push the diaper down. The light on top and back are quite bright. And the build doesn't feel very sturdy, it feels like it's always about to knock over when you open and shove into it. It does seem to contain smells, but having to put my hand fully in each time isn't worth it.

This really is a must. My child has some rank diapers, and you don’t smell it at all. Taking out and refilling the bags and super easy as well. I would recommend to everyone.

Missing parts
Sent with no cord to plug in and use the UV light. Which is the whole reason I bought this one. Very disappointed

Nursery must have!
I originally was going to get the regular munchkin diaper pail with the arm & hammer odor filter before I saw this. I decided on this one after looking into it even though it’s a bigger price point but it was definitely worth it. There’s no smells even when I take the bag out to replace them and one ring has been lasting about 3-4 or so changes before I have to replace it. The refills are fairly inexpensive too so that makes up for the one time cost of this diaper pail to me.

Not worth it.
The closure constantly opens and the pail doesn’t lock in. Doesn’t contain the smell and used to have another diaper pail but ended up trying this one because of the new technology but should’ve hmjsut stuck with my old one. This is simply Overpriced for lower quality and there’s no instruction video on how to set it up.
