Garbage, if you get it as a gift, return it and buy the elite. I'll talk about the elite on it's page but truly without a foot pedal this is completely useless and more hassle than any other option you may have for disposing of diapers.

But it hides the smell, so it is effective. Just the biggest hassle ever.

I received the Diaper Genie 2 for free and I would most definitely not spend the money on it. I'm actually looking to get another kind that has a foot peddle that we got bags for from my baby shower.

They say you can operate this with one hand, but good luck not getting a mess on your hand while having to forcefully push this through the hole at the top. It would be so much easier to just have a foot peddle and be able to drop the dirty diaper in.

I also don't like how you have to cut the bag away or the way the pail itself opens halfway down the pail. I like Munchkin's design better with the door on the front.
