Baby Products Reviews of Playtex Diaper Genie Essentials Diaper Disposal Pail
Customer Review: So far, so good!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just purchased this item since the handle on my Neat! diaper pail recently broke and so far the Diaper Genie II is living up to it's good reviews. I really hate to have to buy the pricey refill bags, but I can't stand having my daughter's room stink, so I think it's worth it. The first thing I learned with this product though, is to make sure to pull the bag out enough so when the first few diapers fall in, they fall down to the bottom of the pail. The weight of the diapers hanging in the bag from the clamp was preventing the clamp from closing tightly and letting the diaper smell escape. That seemed to do the trick and now there isn't any smell at all! I never had the original Diaper Genie so I can't compare the two, but this is very similar to my Neat! pail which I was very happy with until it broke. So I'm hoping this will be the last diaper pail I ever have to buy!!Customer Review: don't get this

This system is horrible, we received it as a gift and without a gift receipt otherwise I would have return this product. How they expect you to push through the spring loaded gate with a filled spoiled diaper is beyond me. This product should be discontinued and the design engineer fired.
Skip this and get the Elite. It makes so much more sense with hands free step on to open the gate(just like most of the kitchen trash can.)
It receives one star because it does trap the diapers well and there is no smell coming from it.
(I disagree with other reviewers giving low stars cause you pay a premium for their proprietary trash bags, you know this buying into the product, it should be no surprise. In addition, this is how most company milk you for money, its an old business tactics modeled after the razor blade cartridges)
Customer Review: Diaper Genie II SUCKS
Summary: 1 Stars
I wish I had gotten another Diaper Champ but I didn't... I liked the idea that the dirty diapers would be bagged. I thought this sounded like a great product. I read some positive reviews. Here's how it works though. You change the baby's diaper. It's a messy, wet #2. You roll it up as best you can. Then you reach over to your genie. With one hand you open the lid. The other hand then has to push the dirty leaky poopy diaper into the genie. You actually have to push this nasty diaper down pretty far. The problem is that to get it past the stink gate, you have to apply force... causing contents to spill out onto your hand. It's disgusting. It's like they didn't actually test it on babies. My diaper champ is so much better. You drop it in the hole and flip the top for it to go down. Enough said. Diaper Genie II sucks. I regret the purchase.Customer Review: I prefer the Twistaway Diaper Genie, this one STINKS!
Summary: 1 Stars
I absolutely HATE this Diaper Genie! I don't know why everyone says this one has no smell, I have both models (this and the Twistaway) and I MUCH prefer the original Twistaway! This one literally STINKS! It's awful! It smells SO much worse! If I have just one poopy diaper in there, you can not only smell it when you open the lid to put in a new dirty diaper, but you can still smell it after the lid is closed again! And I don't know how many times I have scraped my fingers on the inside trying to push the dirty diapers into the diaper genie! With the Twistaway Diaper Genie, each diaper is "twisted" individually into the bag, sealing in the smell. Also with the original Twistaway, the refills are lightly scented, with this model you get nothing. Nothing but lingering poopy stink! I'm ordering another Twistaway and giving this model to Goodwill.Customer Review: Awful

We used it for less than a month when our baby was just born. It held about 10 infant diapers, I cant imagine how many toddler diapers it would hold, 1? It was disgusting to have to push a dirty poopy diaper into that contraption. And in the end it still smelled. I actually returned mine it was so horrible. I would usually not return something my daughter's poop had touched, but this was such a horrible product I couldn't imagine supporting the company who made it.
In the end we switched to cloth. They are amazingly easy to use and clean, way cheeper than disposables and they don't sit in a landfill for 500 YEARS! Thats how long disposables take to degrade. That is disgusting, great legacy for your baby to leave behind... I honestly feel guilty for even using disposables for a few weeks. SWITCH TO CLOTH!!
