Diaper Genie

For those of you who have the diaper genie...

does it work well with eliminating diaper odor in your home?  was it worth the buy?

Considering purchasing one so I was wondering what those of you who have one think of them...

TIA! 

Re: Diaper Genie

  • I definitely don't have a problem with smell, but I think it would be the same if you had a tight lidded trash can.  I like ours just fine, but the refills are expensive and I probably would have just bought a nice trash can and emptied it regularly if I had to do it again.

  • Well worth the price--no smell and easy to use.

  • I was hesitant at first too but I love mine. Definitly keeps odors out and easy to use/change.

  • I actually ended up liking the arm & hammer one better but they both are much nicer than just sticking them in a trash can. You don't have to empty something quite as often and I have never smelled the diapers, even in the process of taking out the bag and tossing it. 
  • Love ours!!!

    this.  

  • Thanks for the feedback!  I am definitely going to get one now...We have a tightlid trashcan and I can definitely smell diapers constantly...

    Thanks again! 

  • I have the Munchkin Arm and Hammer Diaper Pail. I have never smelt a diaper but the lid can stick which is annoying.

  • BRU had a combo box...one of the newer models with a step pedal and one of the older models for like $40...at least they had it when I got mine back in the summer...not sure if they still have this or not. It was nice because I have one for her room and one for downstairs in the kitchen.

  • I like it, but know that the refills are expensive. Although...we have twins so we are replacing it twice as often. ;)  Ha!

  • We have one and we also got the arm and hammer little scents that go in the bottom of the pail and that seems to help. I have noticed that sometimes there is a little smell. We just bought my aunt who is having her baby shower this weekend the Diaper Dekor Plus from Babies R Us and the sales associate said that it is the best diaper pail and eliminates all odor!

  • I have the Elite (I think it's bigger or something, but basically the same thing). 

    We got it as a shower gift (along with a package of three refills). We have not bought any refills (we're on our last one), so a refill lasts about a month or a little longer for us. I don't smell anything when I'm in the room where it is.

    I personally love our Diaper Genie Elite. If I had bought it myself (and I probably would have) I would say it was definitely worth the money (especially since DS is pooping more smelly poops now). The only down side to it is that you have to buy refills...but they last a while for us.

  • I got the Arm and Hammer one bc it had better reviews and the bags are really easy to change. Plus I can add more baking soda whenever I want.

  • We love our diaper genie. No smell, just wish it held more when we were using sposies.

  • Love our Genie just wish it didn't get full so quickly.  Now I only throw away poopy diapers in it.  It def works to eliminate the odor.

  • I love ours and at the bottom I put either the Arm & Hammer scent circles, or a Scentsy travel tin.  I seriously think it was worth getting.   The inserts come 3 to a package, at $20 a package last time I got them at Target, so dependent upon what size diaper you are using, you probably will go through one of the inserts in about 2 weeks.

  • I love ours. My only complaint is the cost of the bags and how quickly you have to refill them.

  • We have one because it was given to us would i have bought it myself no only because you can get a trashcan with a lid and use scented trash bags if you want it would be cheaper than the refills for the diaper genie
