I am not a fan of this diaper genie. We have another model that we prefer over this one. This one is a little annoying to empty. Because of the design and the way it opens up, diapers seem to get stuck quite often. The top also comes off all the time which means the smell isn't contained properly. The latch that you open to empty it doesn't seem to completely close and also seems to let some smell out.

I've been through three of them in the past 2 years . they break so easily and the refills are extremely expensive.

I bought one of these to keep at our home when our grandsons are visiting or staying the night. The refills are so expensive and it got to where there was a funky odor. I just used a regular plastic grocery bag instead.

This did not work to hold the smell and was so ugly, also a pain without a foot pedal opener.

I agree with the other mom out there that said it was a waste. For new moms, all these thrifty little gadgets sound great and very inventive but as you become more experienced you find work arounds that save you so much money! I got a diaper genie for my first child and thought it was amazing, well until the lid start closing oddly. Finally I gave up and decided for my second child (tada!) I was just going to get some bags or go green and reuse the plastic ones from grocery shopping and double bag them and it did just as well. Trust me, this product is okay but really takes advantage of first time moms and their jitters to want the best.

This is a difficult review for me to do as I completely loved mine while my daughter was a baby it was so convienient however once she started to grow and her bowel movements did to then it started to smell and fill too quickly and we switched to disposable bags. So basically we wasted money on this product after she outgrew it. We did not use this with our second.

Didn't like this item, strong smell, fills to quick, and pushing the diapers down is just disgusting!
