Editorial Review
The Diaper Genie is one of this decade's most talked-about baby items. By providing a convenient, sanitary storage container for your dirty diapers, the Diaper Genie will help you keep your nursery and changing table neat, organized, and odor free. The Wide Opening Diaper Genie employs a simple yet effective Twistaway disposal system: just lift up the childproof safety lid, push a dirty diaper into the wide opening, and twist the inner rim to seal the diaper in a fragrant, plastic barrier. The lightweight unit uses blue, wide opening Diaper Genie refills only (original Diaper Genie refills will not fit), and you can fit up to 25 medium-size diapers into the Genie at one time. Along with its compact size (19.5 inches high), one nice advantage of the Genie is that you don't have to empty it over a garbage can. When it is full you can just unlatch the bottom of the Genie, pull out the short train of wrapped diapers, and take it out to the garbage can without making a mess. The Diaper Genie comes with instructions for assembly. --Chris Burns

 Looking for something better November 11, 2008
R. J. Cook (Washington D.C.)
I got the diaper genie as a gift and I have to say I am really disappointed. If you want a place to put the diapers, this is fine. If you want a place to put diapers that will also keep the room from smelling bad, don't get this product. Not only could I still smell the crap in the diapers, but the genie refills were scented, and the smell makes me sick. It seems like the makers tried to make it smell good, but it just smells like a tacky candle. I had to move it into the guest bathroom because it made my sons room stink, and now the bathroom stinks. I am in the process of looking for something else.
Not only was it not good for odors, but it was also tough to empty. The way it works is that it has this thing on the lid that you twist to seal off each individual diaper. Then when it is full, you twist the lid and hold down a button that activates a razor that is suppose to cut the bag. The button is really hard to hold down, and in the year that I have owned it I have never had it actually cut all the way through the bag. I have always ended up using scissors. Then when it does cut it, the bag drops down into the genie, and unwraps the diaper that you just sealed. and then you end up putting the diaper back in and tying a knot in it, which is no big deal, except the fact that you have to tough the bags and then your hand smells like cheap potpurri all day long.
Please dont buy this product. I am trying to find another one.
 The Greatest Parent Item Ever July 21, 2008
Mistercraig (SC USA)
This is the single best purchase I made for my two kids.
Both time and nose saving, the Diaper Genie is indispensable.
It is easy to use, a breeze to clean, and easy to repair. One of my systems had a broken piece on the inside, I was sent replacement pieces within 1 week and was able to fix the issue myself in less than 5 minutes.
I have two of them.
Great Item!!! you will Love it if know how to use it!!! September 27, 2007
Y. Lopez (Bronx, NY)
About the complaint, of course is gonna stink if you pretend not to dispose it for days. I am pregnant for second time, I use it for my first baby and plan to use it with my second baby too. I clean it every night, and never have a problem. If you need it to avoid taking the diaper out for a few days, you wasting your time. But at least you wont have to go out to disposed the garbage every time you change your baby. Works for me and if you are neat enough, will work for you.
 Know how to use it! Then, it's a nose saver!! May 25, 2007
L. Powers (Evansville, IN USA)
I'm disabled, and use diapers myself. My family, nurses, and aides had tried different diaper pails and they always smelled. I was given a diaper genie after someone who's baby was done with theirs.
It has been great! The fact that you have to purchase the refills, is worth the odor-free emptying. The thick material that the stage 2 (older baby) is much thicker than even a trash bag, and has a fresh smell to it.
It took me awhile to figure out how to use it, it seems easy but there was a little trick to keep it from coming untwisted.
With the genie, first time use,
1. remove top and drop in refill.
2. pull some of the plastic sheeting up.
3. put the plastic ring piece down inside until it sits firm.
4. tie a knot in the plastic shetting.
5. push the knot into the ring, down to these "fingers" that will catch the diaper from going to the bottom.
When you have a dirty diaper, you,
1. open top latch, with one hand.
2. push diaper into opening.
3. continue pushing until the "fingers" have the diaper wedged in between them. It's impossible for it to untwist if it is caught here. **see below
4. once diaper is caught in the "fingers", twist the knob on top a couple of times, there is a couple of projections that pick up the sheeting but don't cut it, it twists the sheeting around and causes it to be twisted off, so that the diapers odors are contained fully by the thick sheeting. I found I had to then turn the knob back to get it to let go of the plastic, it would stay in a twist but just take the projectiles out of the sheeting.
5. When you put the next diaper in, you repeat steps 2-4.
** If you don't get the diaper caught in those "fingers", and push it all the way to the bottom, it will come untwisted as it dangles there and then when you go to put the next diaper in, the odors will escape.
I hope that helps out for those who have the old diaper genie. I think they've come out with a newer version, I haven't tried it yet, but may if this one gives out.
God bless you, Lisa

We used the Diaper Genie with my daughter and her room constantly smelled like a Port-o-let. It was awful! When I found out I was pregnant again and would have two babies in diapers, we purchased the Diaper Genie II system. I love it! With more than twice the diapers, it contains the odors better, guests can figure it out, and since there is no twisting, the cartridge refill lasts much, much longer! The extra $10 you spend on the Diaper Genie II will be saved in cartridge refills in no time! I highly recommend the Diaper Genie II.
