Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Crap. Doesnt last worth crap. Fell from the lid into the trash can the 1st hour.. i taped it inside the trash bin.. but there is no odor.. the beads have no smell. There is a guarantee that it lasts months but the refund window is only 1 month on amazon so now i am stuck with this and cant get my money back. What kind of satisfaction guarantee is that? You tell me!
These garbage pals are great. I first bought them from Lakeland in the UK but as they no longer stock them I could only get them from the USA. The smell really lasts for 6 months as the back of the packet claims and the freshner remains stuck to the inside of the lid (unlike other types which fall into the rubbish after a short while). I have tried so many different types of bin freshners and this is the only one that works and is well worth the money. Give Garbage Pals a try today!
This is the only odor neutralizer I have found that actually works. I first bought one as an "impulse buy" on my way to the checkout counter at the Container Store. I loved it so much, I searched for it on Amazon and bought a bunch. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because people are right that the double-sided adhesive is attached to the product with two staples and is flimsy, so if you aren't careful, it gets ripped off easily as you try to remove the cover. Solution? Staple it back! I made sure it was secure and made sure the adhesive tape was flush against the lid of my trash can and it stays in place without a problem. And it lasts a long time. And when it stops working, you will notice the difference immediately, which shows that it works really well while the beads last. I haven't used anything else since I discoverd these. I have tried different scents, but the orange is my favorite.
For eight bucks and a change I thought I would get something that would last a bit longer then three days. I stuck this onto the inner lid from the garbage can. It did give off a pleasant citrus aroma when the garbage was opened but since all it was attached to was one staple and a piece of sticky foam, something inside the garbage must have caused the packet to come off the adhesive after three days. It was very not well attached . (Mesh bag with one staple to a sticky foam!)
I purchased this with the idea to stick it on the side of the regular garbage can I use for diapers. The can does not have a lid. First the sticky tape is, well, NOT STICKY. That's good it you want to remove it without leaving gunk to clean off however, it doesn't stay stuck for even an hour.
Also the scent is only realized if you have your nose stuck to the packet. It may very well last for 6 months but it isn't going to be very strong at all. In fact I had to purposely sniff it out to even notice it was there. The packet does have a satisfaction guarentee for a replacement if the one you get doesn't smell. However I decided not to redeem the guarentee because and even greatly improved product still isn't going to do too much.
Still looking for something to help keep the kitchen trash can from smelling before I fill it up. Stuck it to the inside of the hinged lid. This product only lasted for about a month and a half. Did not work as claimed.
