Diaper Genie Elite

Tammera F.

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

  • 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

    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

    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

  • 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

    • Jarina D.

    • King of Prussia, Pennsylvania

    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

    • chaide w.

    • mount carmel, Pennsylvania

    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

    • Donna B.

    • Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

    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
