Summary: Diaper Genie
Comment: We love the Diaper Genie! I seriously don't know what we would do without it. It is really easy once you get the hang of it. There is no smell outside of the unit, the inside can get king of stinky. Just be sure to spray the inside of the genie with Lysol everytime you empty it. That way the inside won't smell. I would recommend this product to anyone with a baby or toddler.

Summary: A Real Genie!
Comment: When used properly, no problem with this product. No smells whatsoever. Doesn't take up space and very good indeed! Worth the money and effort.

Summary: Horrible Purchase!
Comment: We purchased our Diaper Genie before our son, now 2 1/2, was born. What a mistake! The Genie is a piece of junk. I don't even know where to start with my complaints. First, the refills are expensive, for how little use you get out of them. When your child is in the smaller size diapers, you get more mileage out of the refills, but as your child grows and needs larger sized diapers, you will go through a refill at least every 1 1/2 weeks. Second, the "convenient" twist system is a joke. The first diaper usually works fine, but the next 5-6 diapers want to drop into the same pocket. Even when you try to fix the problem, it still doesn't work. Third, the whole concept of having to open, drop, twist, and close is very inconvenient when you are trying to restrain an undiapered, squirming child. None of those "easy" steps are able to be completed with one hand, especially when you cannot get the darn thing to twist correctly! Fourth, what can I say about the odor?! We could smell poopy diapers the minute we stepped into our son's nursery. The poor child--having to suffer through sleeping in this stench while his moronic parents tried to cope with this worthless product, rather than buying a better diaper system. The Genie stinks while closed, open, empty, or full. About a month before our daughter was born (our son was 16 months old then), we invested in the Diaper Dekor Plus and have had NO COMPLAINTS with it! As for the Genie, it was thrown with force into our dumpster--take that for smelling up our son's room! So parents, please do not torture your children by using a Genie--it is a horrible product and should be put out of its misery! I only regret that I had to rate it with 1 star--it doesn't deserve even that!

Summary: Kids are 6, 10, &12: now use genie for scoopable pet litter
Comment: We have gotten a lot of use out of our diaper genie(s).
We had 2: one each for upstairs and downstairs while
the kids were in diapers. Now we use one next to the
cat litter trays (we have 3 cats). The genie gets full
every week.
Now a comment/trick that I learned to make the twisting
part to work better for the first few times after
emptying. I learned to tie the know on the bottom and
pull the liner down do that you can wedge the cut end of
the film in between the bottom door and the hinge. This
keeps the bottom of the liner from twisting with the top
so that it is easier to twist the new diaper into place.
(I'm suprised Playtex never thought of this. I want
royalties if this ever becomes an "improvement".) My
trick is essential in "cat litter mode".
Hopefully you all now will use your diaper genies for
years after your kids outgrow them. I have to say that
this is an extremely durable product that has stood the
test of time. Diaper genies are one of the greatest
inventions of all times!
