Diaper Genie Platinum Pail

I am glad we invested in the Platinum Pail for many reasons. The first being the ease with which you change out bag cartridges. You just pop it in the bottom (it holds two) and then pull a bag up to the top. This is so much easier than the original Diaper Genie. The next reason being that the bag refills and each bag lasts much longer than the other Diaper Genie version meaning less work. Also this Diaper Genie has a sleek look and is taller. It keeps the smell in fairly well. I’ve had a few very stinky diapers that would create smells each time the lid was opened, but once the lid was closed, it was contained. The price is a bit higher than the other models, but you get stainless steel instead of plastic and easier and longer usage.

The Diaper Genie Platinum Pail in Sage Green has been a fantastic addition to our nursery. The stainless steel design feels sturdy and high-quality, and the color looks beautiful in the room—definitely more stylish than the older plastic models. It does an excellent job containing odors, even on the busiest diaper days. The Easy Roll refill system is so convenient, and the fact that one roll lasts up to five months is a huge money-saver. Emptying and replacing the bags is quick and mess-free. If you’re looking for a modern, durable, and truly effective diaper pail, this one is definitely worth it. Highly recommend!

Perhaps not the usual use for this item but it is fantastic for putting our cat waste in from the litter box. I bought a box of small poop bags designed for dogs and use them when scooping the cat litter. Then, step on the pedal of the Diaper Genie and drop it in. So far we are loving the convenience and the no smell in the room where the litter box is. The bags for the diaper genie are easy to load and so far seem to do the job well. I figured if it works for diapers why not kitty litter! So far great choice!

I know this is only for a year or two, plus more if you have more children. We waited to child 3 before we had enough of the plastic cheaper one. Wish we had bought this sooner. Much more convenient. Just make sure you get Diaper Genie's diaper refill bags to go with it. The cheaper brands rip and make messes. But this is sturdy, and unless if you're over packing it, hardly any smell. Worth the price!

We purchased the Diaper Genie Platinum to help manage odor from my mother-in-law’s incontinence products, and it has made a noticeable difference in our home. The sealing system and odor-control bags do an excellent job containing smells right at the source, which has been a huge relief day to day. One unexpected benefit is how well the bags continue to control odor even after disposal. Our HOA requires trash bins to be kept in the garage, and so far, the used bags have not caused any lingering smell there either. We’ve only been using the Diaper Genie for a few months, so we’re hopeful it will hold up just as well through the intense Southwest Florida summer heat. At this point, we’re very pleased with the performance and would definitely recommend it to others dealing with similar needs.

There are a lot of reviews on this that don't seem to make sense to me. Some say that it breaks easily, other say that it's hard to use or doesn't work correctly. I personally think that this is mostly user error. Sure, there are going to be a small percentage that don't perform as expected, but I think those should be few and far between. We had the old original Diaper Genie and it worked great! We loved it so much that we decided to get another when our newest addition arrived. We did some research, and due to the "breakability" of some parts, we decided to get this one (stainless steel vs plastic). We are happy to announce that we are STILL Diaper Genie fans! A couple notes: 1 - This new model loads from the bottom. It's not hard to load, but it's certainly an adjustment over the original. 2 - We recommend getting the REAL refills (the ones made by the same company), but the knock-offs do work. However, some of the knock-offs might not protect against odor as well. If you purchase the cheap ones, do so at your own risk. 3 - This loads from the bottom, but you pull the full bags out from the top. As such - DO NOT OVERFILL the bags. When removing the bags, open the Diaper Genie and step on the opening pedal. This will pull the inner flap down and allow for easier removal. However, if you have over-filled the bag, it may become very challenging to get the bag out without tearing. 4 - When you throw diapers into the Diaper Genie, make sure the diaper goes all the way in. If it does not, the inner flaps may not close and odor may escape from the pale. If you cannot fit a diaper in the bag, change the bag. It really is that simple. 5 - Finally, have a light foot - there is no reason to stomp on the opening pedal. Doing so may break the pedal... some of y'all don't know your own strength! This model is an improvement over the original - it's very easy to use... simply step on the pedal, throw the diaper in, and release the pedal. As long as there is room in the bag, the diaper will disappear, along with it's odor. 100% recommend this!

So I know the product is intended for diapers however it also works great for dog poop bags. I didn’t want to have to leave them sitting outside my door stinking up the area until the trash runs midweek. This keeps the front door looking tidy and smelling nice as well. Bonus that I can just take the bag and put it in the trash each week for disposal. The canister itself looks nice as well. Only problem I had is that it came in the original packing and was obviously not handled with care. As you can see from the attached photos there is some denting down the back left. I have it sitting with back facing the door so it’s not visually that much of an issue but it might be more of a problem for someone else. Other than that I’m pleased with my purchase. This was a much better idea than those small decorative trash cans for pet bag waste. Plus price wise it’s a win as well.

Sharp looking, practical and sturdy. We love how this looks in our toddler's room and it does a good job of keeping the stink inside. We do need to invest in the scent inserts as it can really reek when opened and it has a few bad diapers inside, but it's easy to use, well made, looks great and has been a really nice addition to our life as parents. Would highly recommend as a great value, fitting nicely in any slim space between or next to your furniture. Excellent value - would buy again without hesitation.

It took me forever to decide whether or not to buy this product, and I don't regret buying it - it's our favourite baby item! This was the most controversial purchase in my baby's registry because it was too pricey for just a garbage can. We are 2 months in with the baby and it's honestly our favourite product and are so happy we didn't listen to others' opinions on this. If you can afford it, it's an excellent luxury. First of all, it is indeed very expensive, but most cute garbage cans in general are expensive, and most don't come with odour control. The one in my kitchen was just a few bucks cheaper than the diaper genie. I bought the sage green platinum pail because it sits in our bedroom and will later be in our baby's nursery and I didn't want an ugly can, and it looks so cute we've gotten compliments on how cute the garbage can is lol. In researching whether or not to buy this product, some reviews said that the bags were too pricey and that it was inconvenient to always have to buy special bags. Our breastfed baby poops a million times a day so we change diapers very frequently and in 2 months we haven't had to buy any new bags. We're still using the ones that came with the pail. Each roll truly holds a lot of bag, at least for small baby diapers. If we were to use regular bags, we would still need to buy bags for diapers, so it's not an inconvenience to buy diaper pail bags on Amazon. But please note that the platinum pail bags are not the same as the other diaper genie pails (sold in Walmart and Costco). This is also very convenient. Putting diapers in with a crying moving baby is really easy. changing the bags is also pretty easy. So easy that my husband is very happy to change them and tells me every single time he does it how happy he is with this product. The one thing I don't like about this is that when the pail is almost full it doesn't close properly, so if you're the type of person that waits until it is absolutely full before changing it, you might have a couple of days with an open lid.

We upgraded to the Diaper Genie Platinum after struggling with an older secondhand version, and the difference is night and day. This one is sleek, easy to use, and just works. The foot pedal is smooth, refills are simple, and it holds a surprising number of diapers—we only change the bag once or twice a week. The blue color is also a nice touch—it actually looks good in the nursery. I’m pretty minimalist when it comes to baby gear, but this one earns its spot. Total game-changer.

Demasiado alto, no me gustó

A must-have for any household with a baby. It really locks in the smell, looks sleek, and is very easy to use. Changing the bags is simple and it keeps the room smelling clean. The only downside is that it’s a bit expensive—but still worth it for the convenience.

Love this so much! Makes newborn months easy
