Diaper Genie Elite

Stephanie D.

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.

  • 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

  • It works okay...but sometimes it won't close. The new version holds less diapers than previous versions. May 13, 2018

  • We like this pail, the only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because you have to buy the refills, with the Ubi we could use any garbage bags. It works great containing odors which is most important. Apr 30, 2018

  • Love this, use it daily! Hold a lot and keeps it all together without being In the open Apr 30, 2018

  • Perfect trashcan for nursery! Holds in the smell and is easy to change. Take up minimal room. Is annoying to buy refills but the cost is comparable to trash bags. Make sure to change the carbon filter Mar 07, 2018

    So far so good. Been using one for four months and the smell has been contained inside the diaper genie. I have heard that sometimes after prolonged use the smell gets intense. Feb 15, 2018

  • I like that it keeps the odors secluded. I hate having to cut the bags and buying refills is expensive. Feb 13, 2018

  • I love my diaper genie so much! It keeps all the smells away and holds a lot of dirty diapers! Jan 27, 2018

  • I thought this was one of those bogus advertisements until the smell of a diaper filled my daughters room in an open trashcan. A must have for SURE! Jan 27, 2018

  • The best thing for making taking out dirty diapers easy. Dec 09, 2017

  • Our diaper genie has been great for over 2 years now! It has held up well and kept our son's room odor free! Great value for the price! Dec 07, 2017

    it holds a decent amount of diapers but I noticed after little bugs in the bag when I take it out and I empty mine every other day. Since that I have stopped using it. Nov 27, 2017

    Mainly use for just #1 diapers. Have been using a hack where you tuck a regular trash bag into the blue ring for about 2 years and it is so much cheaper. Takes a few tries to get the back down but so Nov 02, 2017

    Keeps the smells in while closed but good lord it's horrible when opened to use! buying the refills is costly. I just ended up taking the stinky diapers to the trash can outside Not worth the money Oct 27, 2017

  • Received this as gift from my baby shower and it was great in the beginning then came the time to buy the refills and it just did not work correctly after the first try. I ended up throwing it away. Oct 26, 2017

  • This diaper pail holda in all the stench. Easy to change the bags out and they hold a lot of diapers. The refills are quite expensive though. Oct 25, 2017

  • This worked well for the first year but after baby started solids consistently, it didn't do a great job of containing the smell. I don't think diaper pails are meant for toddler poo. Oct 25, 2017

    • Danae B.

    • middletown, New Jersey

    I have used this in the past, and it's a complete waste of money and space. I used it maybe a total of 3 times. Trash cans are so much easier. Oct 24, 2017

  • Love it! Keeps the smell out! Took us a few times to figure it out! But once we did it was great! Oct 24, 2017

  • Thought i would LOVE this but really, as baby gets older and poops get smellier.. it makes more sense to bring the dirty diapers right into the trash outside! Oct 24, 2017

  • Have had the diaper genie before. While it works i hate having to buy refills. They now make new products, that are cheaper, and that can use regular trash bags. Oct 22, 2017

  • I wasn't going to buy one but glad we did. It is convenient for solid diapers. Easy to empty and contains the odor Oct 22, 2017

  • This really helps to control the odor of diapers in our home, especially once babies start hitting solids! The bags are shot easy to change Oct 21, 2017

  • Comes in handy, and keeps the smell out really good. Just hate changing the bag our Oct 20, 2017

  • We were given this but it wasn't anything we thought we needed. My husband and I absolutely love our diaper genie and have used it for over a year now. I love that it keeps the smell in. Sep 25, 2017

  • Works well to hide odors from even the smelliest diapers. Sep 21, 2017

  • If you don't want to smell those stinky diapers, this is a must! Sep 17, 2017

  • we bought this thinking it would make everything so much easier with diaper changes and found its a lot more expensive and doesn't actually help a whole lot more than a regular garbage Sep 15, 2017

  • Good for holding diapers but no matter what the smell won't go away or disappear. Doesn't matter how many times you change pad inside, it will still smell until you change the bag. Aug 30, 2017

  • You have to get one of these. The best. Aug 29, 2017

    • Linda K.

    • Camp lejeune, North Carolina

    I love that this thing can keep the poopy diaper smell hidden ! But when you open it to drop another diaper in, whooo youll smell it! Aug 24, 2017

  • I have this version and the "complete." I prefer the complete version. This model is difficult to removed the dirty diapers due to how its opens at a hinge at the middle. Does its job containing smell Aug 22, 2017

  • Keeps odors in and is easy to dispose of diapers. Had used another brand which required you to push diapers through a tight opening causing poop to ooze out of the diaper. This is so much better! Aug 13, 2017

  • It does what it is supposed to do and keeps the stink out. Ours ended up duct taped together by the time our first was potty trained because it broke so often. We use the Ubbi Pail now and love it! Aug 02, 2017

    • Erin T.

    • Park Ridge, New Jersey

    Essential for the nursery! Stops odors when kept closed. I am able to remove the bag once a week without odors escaping. Carbon filter changed monthly. Use bleach inside to clean occasionally. Jul 31, 2017

  • I completely do not understand the hype! It worked for a few months, but it started to reek and we were replacing the bags and filters. We ended up tossing this out and using disposable diaper bags. Jul 25, 2017

  • It's easier to just throw in the trash then smell the diapers when it's time to take them out to the trash. Jul 19, 2017

  • AMAZING! Must have item in my opinion. Jul 04, 2017

  • Had these for both boys, worked great. Kept the smell out Jun 30, 2017

  • Love the product, it does a great job of securing odors. Only downfall is the cost of bags, we elected to use the genie for poopy diapers only, potty diapers go in our regular trash Jun 08, 2017

  • So easy to use that my 4 year old wants to help throw away my 2 year old son's dirty diapers. Lid can get stuck up sometimes, but easy to fix. Doesn't contain odor 100% but certainly helps! Jun 06, 2017

  • Baby shower gift! I wasn't even considering one, SO GLAD someone got it for us. It keeps the smell contained and keeps the poopy diapers outta my reg trash so it doesn't need to be taken out as often May 30, 2017

    • Ruby G.

    • Spanaway , Washington

    Okay, I loved it at first but definitely isn't nice for the wallet - bags are not cheap. May 10, 2017

  • This is a must for new parents. Keeps diaper smell away when used with the filter. Hold lots of diapers, and the foot petal makes for easy use. May 09, 2017

  • Keeps smells out of the room and easy to change! Used with my daughter and repurchased for the current baby. Apr 17, 2017

  • I think this was great. It is the perfect size, fitting snug next to the changing table. I never smelled anything unless I opened it, so it definitely works Apr 13, 2017

  • We live on the 4th floor of our apartment complex and could not do without this. Contains the odor and smell and allows for easy change out and throw away! Apr 12, 2017

  • Great at holding in the scent and can hold a large capacity, though one of the top 'sealing' parts broke a few months into use. Still useable, worked fine otherwise. Apr 03, 2017

  • I've heard mixed reviews on this but I personally love it. It dsnt smell and I keep it right next to my changing table for easy disposal of stinky diapers. Mar 18, 2017

  • I love the pedal and how much the bags can hold. Mar 15, 2017
