We have been using it for 5 months now, literally throwing away at least 9-10 diapers a day in the bin... it is amazing! We have it in the room, actually right across from the bed, and there is not the slightest smell... it's easy to place the roll with the bags, the material and its texture (slightly glossy) really help to clean it on the outside with a baby wipe and you're done... personally, I haven't even needed to wash it inside yet as it hasn't gotten dirty nor does it smell when I need to put in a new bag... the roll that comes with it, with the use we make, lasts us about 27-30 days... the bag is continuous, and you pull it down each time it fills up, from the inside of the bin, and it's very helpful that it has a spot at the edge where you can cut the old one and be done... we are extremely satisfied with the dressup bin, we would recommend it to every new parent who really wants the convenience of throwing away the diaper next to the changing table and it's like there's nothing in the room!
