Playtex Diaper Genie Complete Pail with Built-In Odor Controlling Antimicrobial, Includes Pail & 1 Refill, White , 8.36 Pound

I just bought a second Diaper Genie for my brother, who is expecting their first little on in February. My little girl is a year and a half now, so my Diaper Genie is that old. I have to say this thing is super convenient. I have not owned any other diaper pail so I have no experience to compare them, but I’ll give you my pros and cons to this thing and you can decide where to go from there.PROS: other than putting in the trash bags for it and the carbon filter on top, the Diaper Genie comes already put together. When my little one was younger and on formula, her #2s were messy but not overly stinky. Worst case scenario if the Diaper Genie got “dirty”, it was simple to wash off with a water hose or just use some disinfectant wipes. As she has gotten into eating solid foods, man does that #2 stink.... this Diaper Genie is a life saver and beats using a grocery store’s plastic bag or putting those dirty diapers in our trash can. It does a great job of isolating the smell. Lastly, the Diaper Genie doesn’t stand out and blends in pretty well with any set up you may have for your little one. Changing out the bags can be simple as it comes with a little mechanism that can be used to cut the bag. Just don’t let the bag get too full as that can complicate things.CONS: This does a great job at trapping smells, but when you open the door you release the beast! I strongly recommend buying extra carbon filters as they help with the smell some. I feel this will apply with any diaper pail. Expect vengeance from the smells when you open that door. Also, the garbage bags took me a minute to learn how to install but my wife had no issues. That was Probably just user error. The other con is that those bag refills aren’t expensive but they aren’t cheap either. If you have multiple kids you may run out a little quicker. I only have my one little girl now so it’s not a big issue for me. I’ve seen others make the comment that the door doesn’t close properly, which just means that the diaper pail is very full. Change that bad boy out and you shouldn’t have any issues.In the end I strongly recommend this product as it will save your nose. Just do yourself a favor and grab some extra carbon filters.

I got the cheaper knock off first. Not worth the money saved. The diaper genie does an amazing job locking in smell.

Got this for my sister for her baby shower. Easy to use and clean. Looks sleek in the nursery. My sister says she doesn’t smell any diapers so it’s doing the job.

It works for adult incontinence pads too. Fixed my bathroom odor problem.

Everyone has a different preference where this is a must need and for me I definitely liked having one. It lasted 2 years before the bottom part you take out to get the bag broke. This 100% helps prevent your house from smelling like dirty diapers but the refill bags are a little pricey especially considering in the first few weeks your changing 12 or more diapers a day.

We use Diaper Genies for our dog. We keep it on our screened in porch. When we put our boy down last week, we tossed the old one. Since we’re rescuing another this weekend and had refills from the last one, I wanted to find one that was compatible and this one is it! It’s all we need. It’s sturdy, easy to empty and refill, and has more odor control too.

Very good, I use it a lot

I absolutely love this thing. 1st time mom and didn’t know what items i needed or didn’t so we didn’t order much of the extras like a wipe warmer . But i am glad we got this, you have to learn how to use it ( as no one reads instructions) but i learned if put put foot an pedal to open, put diaper in and let go, put foot on pedal again and it will send the diaper down the bag. Having a new born i change the bag a lot but it helps with the smell and keeping it clean . I do not want diaper smell in my kitchen trash and i do not want to be taking little plastic bags out all the time. Simple yet perfect. Only suggestion would be maybe a little larger size 🤷🏻‍♀️./
