Customer Review: The best out of the rest
Summary: 4 Stars
I have tried almost every diaper pail out there and I always come back to the Diaper Genie. It just does the best job out of all the diaper pails available. I also didn't like having to buy expensive refills, but they last along time for me. I only use the Genie in the baby's bedroom (upstairs), when downstairs in the living room, I just use the regular kitchen trash can. I like the locking top feature, b/c my 2 yr old was trying to open all the other diaper pails we have tried. The sausage linking of the diapers is what keeps the odor locked into the bag, so you get no odor when the can is opened. It is pretty easy to cut the bag, open the bottom, and discard of the trash. I really like Playtex products, so it didn't surprise me that I have always stuck with the Diaper Genie,especially the new and improved one...it is MUCH better than the older models, just drop in the the new refill and tie the end of the bag. Keeps our nursey smelling diaper odor free.Customer Review: Diaper Genie = Your nursery will smell like a sewage plant

We HAD a Diaper Genie, it's a total waste of money and plastic. The Diaper Genie was so hard to use and didn't do anything to stop odors. My son's room smelled as if we threw the dirty diapers in an open garbage. And the fact that you have to buy their "special bags" added insult to injury.
We replaced it with THE FIRST YEARS CLEAN AIR DIAPER DISPOSAL SYSTEM. It's so much more effective and easy to use than the Diaper Genie, and you use your own tall kitchen garbage bags.
The greatest thing about The First Years Clean Air Systen is that it can store about 6-7 days of my son's diapers without NO yucky odors. WOW!! We love this product so much. Our son's room smells clean with no poopy odors, and we save money by using our own tall kitchen bags. It's also very easy to change--no confusing bag twisting.
STAY AWAY FROM THE DIAPER GENIE. You'll just end up having to replace it because your baby's room will stink terribly.

I agree that this product does take some getting use to. You can't push the diapers too far down or they will go past the grabbers, you have to push down as you turn the cutter, you have to twist the bags about 4 times before you close it up, and changing the refill is kind of a hassle. But all in all, I'm very happy with my diaper genie. After switching my daughter to solids we still had some stage one refills on hand, and we soon learned you really need to switch to stage 2 too keep the stink out. And if the last reviewer thinks breast-fed baby poopy stinks then she doesn't know what she is in for. I don't think my daughter needs her diaper changed less than any other baby, but I don't need to empty the genie any more than every couple of weeks. She is at daycare during weekdays though. I feel our diaper genie has kept my daughter's room sanitary and stink free and I would buy this product again if I had to, although it is holding up perfectly.Customer Review: WASTE OF MONEY!

when we registered, we thought that that genie was the only one out for diaper disposal. since it was all we had heard of, we thought "of course we have to have it." what a joke! it does work for the odor factor, but our son in only 2 months and i heard poop doesn't really start to stink until solids are introduced. it is just so incredibly awkward to use. it takes 1 hand to push the button on the top and the other hand to pull the top open. don't forget you have a dirty diaper in one hand, too! we wrap our diapers pretty good and have still gotten poop on the sides a few times. yuck! you have to push the diaper in way farther than you expect, close it and then turn until you hear 2 clicks. it needs a foot peddle or SOMETHING! my husband and i really hat it and think it's a waste. i have a feeling we're just going to stop using it because it's way more of a hassle than the smell of dirty diapers. wish we knew sooner that it really sucked...Customer Review: Truly is the BEST!!

Nevermind what some of the other reviews say. I have had both the old diaper genie, and (currently) the new and improved diaper genie. I wouldn't have needed the new one if my husband hadn't broke the ring inside the old diaper genie. But with our 2nd kid, I was excited ti get the newer version of the diaper genie. It really is improved!!! All you have to do to dispense of a dirty diaper is push it into the pal, close the lid, and turn the knob (which clicks twice) then your done. Once the pail is full, to empty is a cinch as well. push the cutter button, and turn the knob, and presto its cut. unlock the bottom of the bin, and hold over trash can, and your done! Its so easy my 90 year old blind grandma could do it! Theres something wrong with you if you can't use this thing right. Oh, and the smell...what smell..I only smell the diapers once if at all, and thats when I'm dumping them into the trash can. My suggestion...get a diaper genie.
