I loved this product while it worked for 4 months. It seems a little expensive to replace every 4 months though. I did try to fix it, but I think it is broken beyond repair.

We love our Diaper Genie elite! Never had any problems with it! We've been using it for 8months+ !! We liked it so much we bought it for another friend having a baby and she loves it too!!

This product lasted only about 6 days, then ceased working correctly. The inner clamp froze and prevented us from using it at all. We attempted to try to fix it ourselves, but were worried to break it further because of the flimsy plastic construction. I returned it and did get a new one. I don't have high hopes for this one. I suggest getting a different product.

I absolutely love this system! Other people have said theirs have broken on them and not contained the smell very well but I am happy to say I have no complaints. I have been using this since the day our wee one came home from the hospital and to this day (one year later) it is still in great working condition. It is practically new. I did not like the fact that it was so plain so I bought these big stickers that are meant as childrens wall decor and put them on the diaper genie. It is so cute, matches his room, and keeps the stinky diapers from making his room smelly. I would absolutely recommend this product to every mom!

The Diaper Genie II is awesome - we used it, and still do, for our twins. I bought this remake thinking that an improvement on a great product would be a must have for our new baby. This thing, like most sequels, is a piece of junk. They took the perfectly simple, well made and workable design of the Genie II and made it complicated - it doesn't hold nearly as many diapers, doesn't contain the smell as well and has broken on us twice. The first time, I took it apart and figured out how to fix it. This time, I'm throwing it out. I am going to search high and low to find a second Genie II!

I bought 2 Diaper Genie IIs for my daughter when she was born and when we saw this come out we loved it so much we replaced them! What an improvement! The taller height increases the capacity of the pail and the addition of the foot pedal makes it easier to drop in diapers. If you've ever had to squeeze a really gross diaper into the Diaper Genie or Diaper Genie II you'll appreciate the new features. Totally worth buying!

I love the foot pedal for ease and covenience. It even has a cutter to make changing the bag quick and easy. I use this every time I change a diaper, even my husband likes it.

I use the diaper genie everyday & often. My daughter is only six weeks old so we still use approx. 8-9 diapers per day. I do agree that the hole to stick the diapers in, is a bit small.Currently we have no problems with it, but in the future I can see where that would be an issue. The plastic hidge that holds the genie together (where you press the button & cut the bag)isn't the most sturdy design I've ever seen but have had no problem with it. This was given to me as a gift at my shower, and I absolutely love it. I have had no problems with the genie what-so-ever. It holds in odor very well. It is in my bedroom right now since I still have Rylee in a bassinet ( easier during night hours) and I can't smell a thing. The taller design holds alot of diapers. I do change the bag every 4 days or sooner, but it's worth every penny if my household isn't smelling like a dirty diaper! :)

I got this item before my baby was born, having heard that a Diaper Genie is a must. I agree, you need a product that can contain the smell of diapers, and this one does it well. HOWEVER, it is cheaply made and has broken on us 3 times! Luckily we have been able to exchange it for a new one each time. Still, I'd recommend researching other brands of diaper pails, since this is so fragile, and the refills are a rip off.

Pros: -Pedal system is very nice !!-Diaper disposal is hands free...-Does contain smell effectively...-Holds many diapers...-Taller, so no bending...-Would be difficult for toddler to get intoCons:- Sometimes pedal system sticks after bag change- Liners are not biodegradable and a bit pricey..- Bag change can be a little confusing and too much liner seems to dispense at times- A little flimsy in the middle and doesn't always snap back together easily- Instruction for use and assembly limited - Hole for disposal is a little too small sometime and you have to give diapie a wee push...Use care when assembling with regard to the pedal system. Make sure the pedal lever on the interior is in the hole where it goes or you will have a hell of a time fixing it... Overall it's pretty decent system but I would love to see Platex convert to biodegradable bags..They do have a website [@]and toll free number and I am urging all to call and suggest it if you already own it. If they don't eventually I will buy the Dekor unit which does offer them...

I bought this product a couple of months after my daughter was born, and it has been invaluable to us. I can put the messiest diapers in there and don't smell a thing. It also is aesthetically nice, because it totally hides the diapers and traps the smell, and doesn't take up much room. [...]

I love this genie. I was given the regular Diaper Genie but found it to be a nuisance to use and also kind of stinky! I did not like touching the liners.I now have the "elite" which I actually got for[$] @ [...]. I love it! Its so simple- you just drop the diaper down the chute and that's that! Once a week when we take our trash out we just pop open the top and cut the bag and tie a knot at the top and we have a giant bag full of diapers. I have found it to be odorless which is a HUGE plus! Although it is expensive, I would say the money is worth it so far since her nursery no longer smells. My baby is 3 months old now, but a gf warned me that once she is a year or more and her diapers are larger these pails can only hold a few diapers before filling. Until then, I am enjoying it!
