Diaper Genie Elite

Samantha R.

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.

    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

  • 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

  • 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

    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

  • 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

    • 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

    • 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

    • Nina M.

    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

    • 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
