Vipp 15 Kitchen Bin

The Vipp 15 Kitchen Bin isn't a diaper pail per se, but more than one reviewer says this stainless-steel kitchen trash can works well as a diaper pail. Most diaper pails are constructed of plastic, which can absorb odors. Stainless steel, on the other hand, is easy to clean and can lock out odors. This diaper pail is marketed both as a diaper pail and a regular trash can, so it can still be used for regular trash after diapering days are over. Reviewers like that the Vipp has a foot pedal for hands-free use, and also appreciate the variety of color choices to coordinate with nursery decor. The Vipp 15 can be used with special refill liners (*Est. $4 each) or with regular trash bags. On the downside, some reviewers complain about the exorbitant price and say changing the bag is difficult. If you're looking for excellent odor control but are unable or unwilling to spend more than $300 for a diaper pail, try the Diaper Genie II (*Est. $35), which has excellent odor control, or the Diaper Genie II Elite (*Est. $35), which also has a foot pedal. For an easy-to-use model that doesn't require the use of special bags, consider the Diaper Champ (*Est. $35).

Reviews for the Vipp 15 Kitchen Bin are scarce, but we did find valuable information in the book "Baby Bargains," which provides a detailed review of six different diaper pails along with a candid discussion of the pros and cons of each. A review on Tibesti.com by baby-planning consultants Melissa Gould and Ellie Miller is also helpful, if brief.
