 Great design, keeps the smell out! December 2, 2008
really2k1 (Northern California, USA)
I previously used Diaper Genie I when my five year old was an infant. My complaint with that was having to put my hand into the bag and down into the pail which sometimes meant getting hands dirty. Also, it was short which meant me having to bend down a lot which is not great for the back.
I bought the Diaper Genie Elite for my newborn this year. It was well worth the extra twenty bucks. The design is very simple - much like a foot pedal trash can. It's also taller, which eliminates having to bend down to put in a diaper. All you have to do is press a foot pedal and the top opens up. Drop the diaper in and you're done. I never notice a smell in the room. The only time I smell anything is when I empty it, which is to be expected.
Also, installing the bag and emptying the bag is very, very easy. To empty: Open the pail, use the internal cutter to cut the bag, tie it off - done. To install a bag: drop the refill in, pull the bag down and tie it off - done. As for the refills - I just started on my third refill after 9 weeks of diapers. So the refills are lasting about 4 1/2 weeks for an infant.
If you can afford the extra money, I definitely recommend it. It definitely hurt the wallet paying for it but I haven't regretted it once. I'm not sure why the price is so high on Amazon, but I got mine much cheaper at Walmart.

We had the original diaper genie and were constantly frustrated by it. So we tried the genie II elite. When I first received it I was upset to see that it didn't have the twist mechanism that makes "sausage" out of the soiled diapers. I thought it was a rip-off. But now that we're using it, I'm pleasantly surprised to find it's much easier to use and much more effective. This is an example of simplicity in design being the best design.
They also saved a lot of money because the amount of plastic needed is much less than the original diaper genie. It'd be nice if they would pass the savings on to the consumer. But I don't think you can fault them for profiting from a better design.
 Diaper Genie II Elite...AWFUL!! November 2, 2008

Yes there are some nice new features included with the Diaper Genie II Elite system but the odor that comes from this contraption is so disgusting. This item by no means keeps odors from filling up a room. My wife and I gag each time we need to put a diaper in it. To be honest the regular Diaper Genie II does a much better job with the odors. Playtex you have got to be kidding with this product!! Did you even test it out?? STAY AWAY!!!
Better than the regular Diaper Genie 2 September 27, 2008

This product took into consideration the few criticisms of the diaper genie 2 and improved on it. It has a little pedal you step on to open the top lid, you put your diaper in and release. Truly one handed operation, minimal smell because of the way the internal clasp seals the bag when you step on the pedal, and you never touch the inside bag. Occasionally, if I don't step on the pedal all the way, I get a whif of the internal contents because the clasp doesn't seal all the way...but I figure thats my fault for not doing it correctly. It now has a handle on the front so you can carry it with one hand, and emptying is similar to genie 2. If your a fan of the diaper genie...you'll like this product.
You do still have to buy their refills, and that is the one big drawback. I've seen the price come down to equal that of genie 1 refills, so if your already paying for them, then its not a problem. Our refills last 3 weeks with our toddler's diapers.
