Sage Diaper Pail

Sentiment Summary

Many reviewers praise the odor control, calling it a major improvement over plastic pails, and like that it accepts any standard trash bag instead of special refills.
Customers frequently mention the sleek, sturdy stainless steel design and the child safety lock as standout features.
A recurring complaint is that the pail develops a persistent bad odor and, in some cases, black mold or rust over time, even with regular cleaning.
Several reviewers report the lid, hinge, or handle breaking or cracking after a relatively short period of use.
Some customers note a strong smell escapes briefly when opening the pail to remove diapers or change the bag, even though odors stay contained while closed.
A couple of taller reviewers wish the pail were taller so they would not have to bend down as far to use it.
Many reviewers see long-term value in not having to buy proprietary refill bags, though a few feel the pail is overpriced given durability issues they experienced.
