Diaper Genie Elite

Amanda Y.

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.

Featured Parents' Reviews

  • 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

    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

  • 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

    • Jenny D.

    • United States of America

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

  • definite necessity for the nursury Mar 15, 2017

  • Great on keeping the smell in and easy to empty. The liners are a little expensive but you get what you pay for! My only complaint is that I do wish it was bigger so it could hold more diapers. Mar 14, 2017

    • Jenn K.

    • Colorado Springs , Colorado

    Keeps the smelly odors at bay. Easy to change out the bag rings, especially with the built-in cutter. Holds up to use by toddler and older children. Mar 01, 2017

  • Must have! The Elite one is so much better because you don't have to shove anything down with your hand Feb 23, 2017

  • I thought I was going to love this product and as much as I did, I did not. I walked into LO's room and it did nothing with containing the smell. I've seen other pails so wish me luck in finding one. Feb 20, 2017

  • Still deal with smell when changing the bags (worse than regular pail if it takes a couple days to fill). Doesn't always seal when you twist so you gotta twist more which uses more bag. Feb 11, 2017

  • Keeps house stink free. Convenient for in room, and other areas in house baby is changed. We love our genie. Feb 09, 2017

  • Can't live without this. We are odorless in our house and it's easy to replace. Feb 04, 2017

  • Excellent product. Great and easy to use. Definitely only recommend using their refills and deodorizing pack to prevent unpleasant odors. Jan 30, 2017

  • Love my diaper genie! So easy to change the bags and it holds a lot of diapers! No mess no fuss! Jan 29, 2017

  • I do LIKE the diaper genie but it wasnt worth the money. A regular trash can works just fine and this takes up space that I don't really have I sold it shortly after buying it Jan 26, 2017

  • Bought and never used Jan 25, 2017

    • Vicki H.

    • Lindenhurst , New York

    Have one upstairs and one downstairs. Nice looking, easy to use and keeping odor away, would definitely recommend it Jan 25, 2017

  • I like it but was annoying putting and removing bags. Jan 13, 2017

    • Lauren M.

    • Chester Springs, Pennsylvania

    Its convenient to have close by to the crib for night time changes, I think it keeps the smell contained well and most importantly keeps my dogs out of the dirty diapers! Jan 02, 2017

    • Devin K.

    • Coconut Creek, Florida

    We ended up ditching the genie and getting a stainless steel pail. We didn't like being locked into their bags and found that it didn't contain the smells very well. Jan 01, 2017

  • This diaper genie is going strong on our second kid. Diaper genie can be right next to you and you can't smell anything. Definitely worth paying for. Dec 26, 2016

  • Lasted through 1 baby, broke shortly after 2nd baby. Still used it broken, will need to purchase another for baby #3. Dec 09, 2016

    • Lisa J.

    • Coral Springs, Florida

    This is such a great idea but, internal space is limited.You're spending money on non-eco friendly refill bags, and with breastfeeding I was emptying twice a day.Would like something more eco-friendly Dec 08, 2016

    • Dena B.

    • Aberdeen, North Carolina

    I had the competition until they stopped caring the bags so I made the switch. I don't like how much smell gets out. Or the guessing with the bags. Effective but not totally in love. Dec 05, 2016

  • This is definitely a necessity. We bought two for baby's room and another convenient changing area. Keeps smells to a minimum and can truly fit a ton of dirty diapers in it. Must have ! Dec 05, 2016

  • Love this diaper pail. No odor in the nursery. I wish I had another one for the other babies room. Dec 01, 2016

  • We got this as a gift and we really like it. Definitely keeps the dirty diaper smell from getting out. Nov 20, 2016

    • Dawn E.

    • Billerica, Massachusetts

    This Diaper Genie is very convenient for having upstairs by the changing area, but boy does it STINK when you open it to put a diaper, even if you change it every few days. Oct 18, 2016

  • I still smell the diapers each time I open the lid. I guess it's better than a trash can, but I feel I have to empty it all the time. I suppose that helps to cut down the smell, but I'm not impressed. Oct 05, 2016

  • This keeps the nursery from smelling like dirty diapers. Oct 05, 2016

  • Only let's out odor when you step on the pedal to open it, otherwise keeps the air smelling fresh. Refill bags are expensive though $8.99 for one pack! Oct 05, 2016

  • If you want a diaper pail but don't want to spend a ton of money on one, this is for you. We used this diaper pail with our first baby and kept it so we can use it with our second. Sep 27, 2016

  • I didn't think we needed one but now that we have one it is a life changer! We are taking out the trash less now since the genie pacts in all the diapers. Sep 23, 2016

    • Katie G.

    • United States of America

    This was great up until we didn't use the changing table...once our baby started to roll we used the floor and just tossed them into the trash...kind of pointless after the first 5 months. Aug 18, 2016

  • Hated this product with a passion. Does not contain the smell and my apartment would stink. Returned asap Aug 02, 2016

    • Katie S.

    • Massapequa Park, New York

    I read so many reviews on diaper pails and finally choose this one, so glad I did! Not as expensive as others & I have had zero odor issues! Jul 25, 2016

    • A.C. C.

    • Santa Clara, California

    It definitely works because I never knew what dirty diapers even smelled like until we traveled and had to use a normal trash can. But it's very thin plastic and moves around whenever we step on it. Jun 24, 2016

  • This thing was kind of a pain in the butt. I could never figure out the bags. May 01, 2016

    • Ashley G.

    • Scott Depot, West Virginia

    I rarely used this with my first & promptly gave away. I'm not one to climb the stairs just to get go the nursery to change a diaper, so soiled diapers are thrown in the receptacle. But works! Apr 03, 2016

  • Does its job! Keeps the smell in and is easy to take the bag out and replace! Mar 28, 2016

  • These work well to keep odors out but the price of the trash bags is just too much. We purchased one that could use regular trash bags and liked it better. Mar 24, 2016
