what parents are saying
its okay- I use this in the nursery but end up using other trashcans around house as well. I like that the genie is contains the diapers more vs regular trash can. (Oct 22, 2017)

It holds stinky diapers and does a fairly good job of containing the odors. The refills are expensive, but it beats having an open top trash can in the room. Apr 08, 2021

-Use generic bags with this -Needs to be changed every other day with twins and even more so if there are very smelly It can hold in odors, but you will smell the foulness when it's time to empty Mar 23, 2021

It breaks frequently especially when putting in full diapers. You have to push the diaper down in it,which can be messy.It doesn’t contain odors.It doesn’t hold many diapers, I was changing bag daily. Jan 31, 2021

For the first 6 months we went through several diaper changes a day and I didnt feel like this holds very many diapers. Also the bags are expensive Jan 13, 2021
Such an essential item that we have two! One is downstairs with our main level changing station, and one is in our little one's room. Makes for easy clean-up while keeping hands on the baby! Oct 02, 2020

Simple design and keeps the smell contained. Have one at each changing station Oct 01, 2020

I never use this. It is such a waste of money. Sep 25, 2020

Have 2 of these! While you can get a stinky whiff as it starts to get full, I’ve found that if you gently open, toss, and GENTLY close, the stinky air won’t be “slammed” out in the room as badly. Sep 15, 2020

this product makes disposing diapers so much easier than every before its a must have for having kiddos still in diapers Sep 13, 2020

Contains the smell, holds a fair amount before it has to be changed I only put poops in to save on room and it help the bags last longer Sep 10, 2020
Contains the smell, holds up 15 or so diapers depending on how you close them, and easy to change the bags. Don’t know how we survived the first few days without it! Aug 18, 2020

I was hesitant about buying a diaper pail, but my Diaper Genie does help control odor. It's easy to change the bags out, as well. Aug 10, 2020

We use this every day. Definitely keeps the stink at bay! Crucial for us, since we have a curious dog at home too. The Max Fresh refills help with the smell too, especially once baby starts solids! Jul 03, 2020

This is a life saver! No dirty diaper smell escapes into the room as long as you keep up with replacing the carbon filter. A lot of people said this was a waste of money, but I'm glad I didn't listen. May 29, 2020

Love how convenient it is to be able to have all diapers in one odor sealing place. I noticed that you must change the bags every so often even if its not completely full or else tiny bugs accumulate May 27, 2020

Love and hate relationship. I love that I don’t have to walk to my trash cans outside everytime LO poops, but I don’t like the storage space. Personally it could be a little larger. May 20, 2020

This is a must have. I love the new design where you can just drop the diaper in and it closes off. We never have any issues with odor. Apr 10, 2020

Great for diapers if you don't want to throw the trash out every night. It's just killer when you do need to remove the bag when the diapers are full. Mar 04, 2020
- Saira G.

I like having a disconnected area to put my diapers in. I'm satisfied it does what it's supposed to. It contains the smells and it's easy to dispose of. Feb 01, 2020

I've been through 3 of these because they get gross and smelly. I don't like the mechanism, when it starts getting full you have to push the diaper down with your hand and then your hand smells! Dec 29, 2019

Minimizes odor, convenient, and easy to use. Removing bag is challenging if you put one too many diapers in though. Has built in bag cutter which is convenient. Jun 01, 2019

Must have product! Keeps the smell out of the room and as long as you change the carbon filters! The smell doesn’t linger out of the Genie when it’s open. Very convenient to have next to a changer. May 10, 2019

I like that it holds a lot of diapers and contains odour fairly well.It's hard to refill the bags and hard to put dirty diapers into the genie one-handed Mar 26, 2019

Could not live without this right next to our changing table! No dirty diaper smell at all! Jan 27, 2019

Perfect for young baby pee diapers since you change them so much. Instead of filling up your kitchen and bathroom trash can you can use this. Holds so many diapers and locks the smell in. Sep 28, 2017

We went a year and a half just using a regular trash can. We finally decided to make the switch. Best decision ever. It has completely kept the smell out of our daughters room. Very happy with it! Jun 05, 2017

Purchased to replace our Elite and hugely regret. Does not contain smell, once opened the room the room will stink for an hour. Does not seal on sides, and first one broke while trying to assemble. Apr 03, 2017

I love love love genie, have two of them. Keeps small away, doesn't take much space in room. Bags are little expensive to rebuy, I get mine in Costco or bjs, great deal especially if you get coupon Mar 05, 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

They've changed from the old model- But it's still a cheap product. Broke within 3 weeks of baby. Returned it, store manager said they have so many issues and wish they didn't have to carry them. Dec 09, 2016

I didn't think we would ever really use our diaper genie and I am obsessed. So obsessed I bought a second for downstairs. So convenient and keeps you from having to throw diapers in your regular trash Nov 10, 2016

Playtex finally got it right! Love the pedal to lift the top. The front pulls out instead of lifting the whole top half off. Much easier to empty. Doesn't hold as many dirty diapers that I'd like, but it works. Jul 13, 2016
