Is anyone continuing to have mold or find water in the sleeper as mentioned in the 2013 recall? Is this product in any way improved since the recall?

We used this constantly with 2 babies and never had a problem with mold. The recall seems ridiculous to me and worries me that the manufacturer would "remedy" the problem by adding more mold-inhibiting chemicals. The cover comes off for easy cleaning, which is a GREAT thing. Just make sure you clean it properly if baby wets it and make sure it is dry before you put it back on.

I have not had that problem, I have only had this for about 3 weeks now though.

I've never had a problem with mold. At first I was making sure to wash the cover weekly but even now I don't and no problems. I also usually have my baby on a blanket over the cover not sure if that makes a difference and I also put a receiving blanket behind where her head lays so its not too hard. I love this sleeper and so doesn't my baby. I wish I had this since the day we brought her home from the hospital! I forgot to mention I got this when she was around a month old and she is now 4 1/2 months old.

We've had ours for about a year and a half. Despite rigorous rinsing, cleaning with the included brush (a laughably useless addition, by the way), and thorough drying, the lip and gasket are covered in black mold. It's incredibly gross. We're replacing it with something else (possibly another brand, because this isn't okay), even though we paid a lot for it.

I have had mine for 10 months now with continuous use and have some discoloration and occasionally some slime from the water but nothing that I would call mold.

I had one of these things a couple of years ago & it started leaking within a few weeks. It also didn't stay cool.Inconsistent quality is apparently the problem. Contact the company & see what happens. I returned mine to Bed Bath Beyond & told them the problem. Apparently I wasn't the only one to return them.

Mine never froze. And it has the mildewy looking brownish blackish stuff floating in the water. I dont know if the seal was not sealed on some or if this has anything to do with why mine wont freeze, but I wasted 30 bucks on two of these after extensive research on youtube, thinking that it would actually work. It doesnt. I am hesitant to throw it out in case I ever get a deep freezer or something. BUT mine never froze:( I was looking forward to it too.

I was so disappointed in this Froggs towel. I was storing it damp in the container in the coldest part of the refrigerator and when I pulled it out the other day it was covered with mold. I soaked it in bleach for a few hours, but not all the spots came out. I also have a Chilly Pad and it was stored exactly the same and has NO mold issues. ???????

Mine mold and mildew and turn a disgusting brown/yellowish color at the bottom. I wash it with and without bleach and it doesn't help. I just live with it til it gets to gross for me and get a new one.

I would think so, I've not had a moldy LP so I can't say yes. However the system and cleaner work really well, I'm pretty pleased with the results. The water was filthy after my first 20 cleans!

Mine cracked over this past winter in NJ, right in the center. I noticed that there hadn't been much water in it and when I was washing it this weekend, I saw the big crack. You're better off bringing it in over the winter.

Good question ... I also get a powdery residue all over the molds from time to time, I was puzzled but assumed it was the hardness of our water. This company is totally non-responsive even though they claim to want feedback.

I've not seen any mold issues so far, but then I've only had it for a few months. I'm sure it is adding to the humidity in the basement, but then the basement was already a humid place.

I purchased one for my parents home that at one time didn't have a vapor barrier under the subfloor and mold formed on the underside of the wooden floor. This in turn caused a moldy smell in the house at all times. But the green machine has eliminated that smell. Did it kill the mold under the subfloor? I doubt it, but no more moldy odor or health effects from it.

Yes the mold and mildew build up. The liners ARE machine washable, and that is why I wanted a "back up" liner. My bathroom gets no sun light and that is why there is a problem. I do add OXYCLEAN to the load I wash the liner in. Hope this is helpful.

I'm not pleased with mine. I had more than a few refuse to seal no matter what I did. I'm in a desert so I don't know about mold/mildew.

I agree...we did our "research" and bought based on that when the model was new and those were the only reviews to go by. However we were do disappointed after $17k in damage caused to our home by the drain pump falling out the first time, only to have it fall out again. We were out all of our time and money plus had to buy another washer since we would never trust running that one again. If you feel comfortable buying it after all of the horror stories then go for it. Everyone's comfort level is different. But my experience is this is the worst purchase I've ever made and it ruined our lives for a year dealing with Samsung, insurance company, flooring installer, water remediation, mold issues, etc.
