Here are some customer reviews of
Playtex Diaper Genie Diaper Pail
: This has been a great tool for us. We actually bought two of them (in 2002). One for the upstairs nursery and one next to the pack-n-play downstairs. My child is a toddler now, so we use the toddler refills and it smells only when you open it and there is a really stinky diaper in there too long. I empty both of ours once a week. The two complaints I have are:
1. the cutter doesn't always work. Sometimes I end up using scissors.
2. after you empty it, you have to put the 2nd and 3rd diapers in just right or they fall into the pod of the 1st diaper. It's not that big of a deal, but it creates more stink!
Other than that, it has been a great help!
 We started with the Diaper Genie as most new parents seem to do for some reason and we hated it! The new design is jsut as poor as the original! It's a total pain to empty and change the bags. And the bag get a bit costly after a while! And no matter how we spun the thinkg we still ended up with one big bag of nasty diapers...not "sausage links" for us!
It was a total waste of money! We returned ours after a couple of weeks and got the Diaper Champ. We love that thing! No bags to buy and no stupid spinning! Save your time money, and sanity...go with a Diaper Champ!
This product is a hassle!!!! Sure it works at minimizing odor, but putting in refills is a pain in the patootie!!! I have tried on multiple occasions to change it out quietly after my daughter has fallen asleep but have rarely been successful. The thing that twists the plastic wrap is almost impossible to get into the genie refill. Trust me, buy something else!! My daughter is now 4 mos. old and I would rather just stick her diapers in a bag and throw them away verses using this piece of junk.
This thing smells, is a waste of plastic, and not mommy-easy for when you want to get rid of that dirty diaper while you have a child moving around on the table and only one free hand. I have resorted to using my grocery bags for the smelly diapers and wrapping them to throw in the main garbage. Then the wet diapers get tossed to the regular garbage and taken out daily. This is far better than even thinking that I have this wonderful thing that is never supposed to smell. It is horrible.
 I would definitely recommend this diaper pail to anyone who doesn't want to take the diapers immediately to the outside trash. It doesn't smell at all!
I've not had any problems with emptying it or loading it :) You do have to make sure you put the diaper in the "claw" properly or when you twist the film around it, it won't work right. Other than that, very very very easy to use!!!!
The refills are not that expensive and as long as the diapers aren't smelling up my baby's nursery or my house, I'm happy.
