Diaper Genie Elite

Lauren S.

weeThink

The quintessential diaper pail, the Diaper Genie is tried and true. It has a foot pedal for hands-free diaper disposal and it’s small it doesn’t take up too much space in the nursery. It also keeps in the smell really well--one mom even admitted she accidently left diapers in it for “way too long” and never smelled a thing.

The Catch: It requires specific liner refills, which are costly.

  • we have this and the Complete. i prefer the complete. we find that sometimes this one gets stuck and is hard to open, the lever to step on has poped out a few times, its an easy fix though Jul 31, 2023

  • It's great! Up until you run out of bags. I threw it away after I ran out of bag refills because the bags are so expensive that it becomes just not worth it anymore. Its a good baby shower gift. May 30, 2023

    I started with the smaller version and it filled up so fast so i bought this one & it seems like there’s not that much more space, it still fills very quickly & the price of refills is expensive. Mar 23, 2023

  • I like this product, and we used it a lot, however after awhile it just felt gross and we had to replace. I’m not sure it is worth the price for how short of time it seemed to last. Feb 09, 2023

  • Keeps unhitching so when i step on the peddle it wont open. i was able to fix but it gets annoying i need to keep fixing Oct 05, 2022

  • The elite is nice with the carbon filter option. Still doesn’t block for the real stinkers. Haha. Easy to remove diapers. Seems to hold more diapers than the regular one. May 05, 2022

  • I wouldn’t waste your money on this. Just use a trash can or if they are really intense diapers, just throw them outside as soon as you are done changing them. Apr 06, 2022

    We barely used this. Found it easier to just throw dirty diapers in a regular trash can that I take out daily. Would not recommend. Aug 02, 2021

  • Stopped using after first month because such a hassle to push the diapers down and change the bag all the time. Jul 26, 2021

  • This works great while the babies are little because it fills up quick but when they don’t use as many diapers throughout the day it starts to stink up the room because it doesn’t fill up as quick May 17, 2021

  • Best thing if you want to be stinky up your regular trash can with dirty diapers ive had mine for almost 4 years 2 babys Apr 11, 2021

  • Do you smell that? Nope sure don't! Love our diaper genie. Keeps all the stink inside. Great product! Makes for a good baby shower gift too! Dec 08, 2020

  • Diaper genie is a product that I could live with out. It’s a great product but I found it time consuming and difficult to get the refills for the genie and ended up stop using it all together. Oct 15, 2020

  • Disappointed in this product. It didn't hold many diapers and would frequently get jammed. Get the Dekor diaper pail instead! Sep 17, 2020

  • Easiest diaper pale. No frills but gets the job done for a good price. Sep 14, 2020

  • This does occasionally become detached when my toddler tries to help put the diapers in it, but once you figure out how to snap it back together it only takes 10 sec. It holds the smell is well! Sep 09, 2020

    • Amy T.

    • Elmsdale, Canada

    We have had two diaper genies over the past 7 years, both were similar, both were so great! Keeps the smell of diapers in one spot. Aug 21, 2020

  • I wasn’t crazy about this purchase it was more of a hazle than a convenience it was easier to use the regular trash. Apr 27, 2020

  • I feel like this garbage does a pretty good job! I mean stinky diapers are going to smell but it helps a ton putting them in here! We also found replace bags are sold at Costco, score! Apr 21, 2020

  • Easy and hands free. Requires you to change out bag more than expected. Jan 27, 2020

  • I didn't like this. I could still smell dirty diapers coming from it, we took the trash out every day. Coul idea having a bin made for diapers seperate from the regular trash. Jan 15, 2020

  • Keeps the smell in and holds a lot of diapers! Easy to refill too Dec 10, 2019

  • Sure it’s fairly useful, but truly not a necessity until maybe when they start solids. As a newborn, diapers are easy to toss in the regular trash and take out at the end of the day. Oct 31, 2019

  • I went through two of these within 4 months. Unfortunately, it always seemed to break and the refills were so expensive! After our second one broke, we purchased a different brand. Sep 27, 2019

  • A must have at our house for keeping smelly diapers at Bay! Sep 06, 2019

  • After spending so much time decorating our nursery, the diaper genie ensures that it never smells like pee or poop! I mark on the scent pack when we change and make sure to replace every month. Aug 29, 2019

  • We ended up returning ours. It was disappointing. The diaper genie was unable to block the odors from the dirty diapers, plus you have to purchase the specific bags for it. Super pricey. Aug 22, 2019

    • Myra S.

    • King City, California

    Keeps all the diaper smells covered! Works amazing! We don’t have to worry about where to throw them away or any smells making guests uncomfortable! Aug 20, 2019

  • Not in love with this diaper pail but it does the job. It easy to reload and doesn't break the bank to buy refill bags. However, it doesn't do the best job holding in the stink. Aug 16, 2019

  • I can’t imagine NOT owning this. We live in an apartment so this is a handy place to dispose of diapers and I can’t smell anything! I would certainly recommend this to any new parent. Aug 01, 2019

  • While my husband didn't care for this item, I had to have and we've been using it now with our 2nd kiddo. Huge fan, so many diapers can fit in this and east to throw away when full. Jul 22, 2019

  • This worked for 6 years before the plastic cracked and needed to be replaced. Kept smells to a minimum and held a lot at a time. Jun 30, 2019

  • Everyone told me I didn't need a diaper genie but I would beg to differ. This has saved us from having funky rooms/bathrooms. It definitely helps with storing dirty diapers until trash pick up! Jun 13, 2019

  • Best diaper pail! May 30, 2019

  • We couldn't live without this, always keeps the smells contained! May 28, 2019

  • This is a great way to keep the dirty diaper smell contained. You cant even smell the diapers when sitting next to this. It's easy to use and they sell the bags just about everywhere May 04, 2019

  • Love that the diapers are contained in one spot and that I don’t have to take them outside every time I change my baby. May 03, 2019

    • Liz C.

    • United States of America

    My daughter’s room never smelled like soiled diapers. And it held a lot of diapers at one time. You could even rig it to hold a garbage bag and save money on the refills. Apr 03, 2019

    • Dani R.

    • Allentown , Pennsylvania

    Great to get rid off poopy diapers pol Mar 28, 2019

  • Sounds like a great idea but thought it was kind of gross to keep all the diapers in this pale. We ended up choosing to just get 4 gallon trash bags (105 for $5) and tie shut and toss after each dia Mar 28, 2019

  • I don't love or hate this. It gets the job done, however after 3 months it definitely began to hold an odour due to the plastic. I've since stopped using it and switched to the Ubbi pail. Mar 12, 2019

  • I have this right next to the changing table. The baby's room doesn't smell of dirty diaper at all. Super easy to use. Wish we had one in every room. Jan 22, 2019

  • While I loved this product and thought it was very useful, I have to say I only used it for about a month until I ran out of bags and it was more convenient to just throw diapers in the trash! Oct 26, 2018

  • Works amazing and keeps the odor at bay BUT don’t buy the cheaper bags, they don’t hold in the stink. Stick with diaper genie bags and you’ll be good to go! Sep 05, 2018

  • Gets a permanent stink after awhile, even with changing the bags frequently. For baby 2, we went with a basic garbage can and bag. Sep 02, 2018

  • This has kept all bad odor at bay. It's convenient and fits well in the nursery. Aug 30, 2018

    • Lea S.

    • Rock Port, Missouri

    So many people told me to not get one but with two dogs who like to sniff in the trash, this was a must. Hides the stink and dog proof! Aug 23, 2018

  • Couldn't live without this, I hate opening my regular garbage to the smell of diapers :) I just wish it was taller to hold more diapers. May 25, 2018

  • I love my diaper genie. Easy to use, pretty, out of the way. As his diapers have gotten bigger it’ holds less, but I definitely like my diaper pail! May 23, 2018
