DG Select Pail with Starter Refill 1PK14FT 1/cs

I purchased the Diaper Genie Select model, intending to use it for cat waste disposal.Overall it seems well-made - good capacity, and easy to open to tie off and change the bags. It is vastly better quality than the Litter Genie, and the hatch is spring-loaded so it closes tightly and does a much, much better job of keeping smells in. The bags are also nice and thick and look very unlikely to tear, it opens easily for bag changes, and the smooth stainless steel interior will be easy to clean (if it ever even needs cleaning, those bags are so thick it may not!).The top opens with the foot lever, but mine doesn't close on its own, it stays open until I either push the top closed or I push the foot lever back up with my toes. This is probably a benefit for a busy parent trying to keep one hand on an infant while they throw out the diaper - you don't have to keep standing on the foot lever to keep it open. I was surprised at first, but I've decided I like it - it's easier to use if you don't have to keep a foot on it while you operate the hatch.It has one notable drawback though - when you put a diaper (or cat droppings) into it, you have to push down on the thing you're putting into it with your hand to open the hatch.Advice for cat owners looking for something better than the Litter Genie - the Diaper Genie is great, but it requires a little creativity. The area around the hatch is wide enough it's no problem depositing cat waste into it, but it's narrow enough you won't be able to fit most litter scoops in to push down and open the hatch. You can either use some sort of "poop disposal stick" to push the hatch open, or you can do what I do and put the cat waste into one of the little bags meant for picking up after your dog on walks. Then you just push the little bag through the hatch with your hand, and the whole thing is very clean and easy.The trick with the dog waste bags would probably work with a full or icky diaper too. There are special brands of dog walking bags meant to break down within 5 years in landfills and leave no microplastics, so it's guilt-free, and less than $25 for a one-year supply. It removes all grossness from pushing... whatever... through the hatch with your hand, and it offers a second layer of odor and moisture control.I highly recommend the Diaper Genie select for diapers *or* cat waste. It's 10000% nicer than the Litter Genie, and the spring-loaded hatch closes tightly enough to prevent any issues with odor or insects.

10/10 love our diaper genie.it was super easy to put together. we've had it for about 6 months now and i love it. it fits perfectly right next to our changing table. it is on the shorter size if you are tall (i am 5'6.5 and my fiance is 6') so you do have to bend down a bit when putting the diapers in.the foot pedal is great but the top lid gets stuck open a lot of the times. i have OCD so i always have to close it but doesn't bother me too much functionality wise.it does a GREAT job at hiding the smell of dirty diapers. the only time we you'll smell anything is if you dont change out the bag soon enough lol.the bag cartridges are also great. you lift the lid and just plop it right on top and they fit right in. put the bag through the hole and tie a knot and there you go. there is also a little hidden razer meant for cutting off sections of the bag when you are ready to dispose so it makes using the genie and changing bags out super easy!

As a new mom, one of my biggest concerns was the smell of dirty diapers in the house. I tried scented bags and homemade tricks, but nothing worked at all until I found this diaper basket. After using it for a while, I can say that it has been one of the best purchases for my baby's routine.✅ Total odor controlWhat impressed me the most was its ability to block bad odors. No matter how many diapers are inside, the smell does not escape at all. Even when I open it to throw away a new diaper, the closure system minimizes any unpleasant smell. It's perfect to keep the baby's room always cool.✅ Practical and easy-to-use designI love that its design is compact but with enough capacity for several diapers, which prevents me from emptying it every now and then. In addition, the mechanism to discard diapers is super simple: just open the lid, throw away the diaper and that's it, without the need to push or touch anything extra. It is also easy to open with one hand, which is a great advantage when you have the baby in your arms.✅ Special bags that make a differenceThe bags used by this basket are of excellent quality and help to contain odors even more. They are resistant and have a closure system that facilitates the disposal of diapers without getting your hands dirty. Although they are specific for this model, they last a long time and are worth it for the comfort they offer.✅ Discreet and elegant designAnother plus point is that it doesn't look like a simple dumpster. Its design is modern and discreet, so it is not out of tune with the decoration of the baby's room or even with the bathroom. It looks clean and tidy in any space.🔹 Who do I recommend it for?✔️ For any mom or dad who wants to avoid odors in the house.✔️ For those looking for a practical solution without complications.✔️ For those who prefer an elegant and functional design.🔹 ConclusionIf you are hesitating to buy a diaper basket, this one is worth every penny. It is practical, hygienic and best of all: it really avoids bad smells. It is a product that makes life easier and keeps the home clean and fresh. Totally recommended!

Great product. Wish I would have bought a larger one though. Bags never stink in my house. Refills are easy.

I am 73 years old and incontinent. The bathroom always smelled like urine due to the used pads in the bathroom. I bought one of these to mitigate the odor. Worked beautifully! No more smells. Easy to use, high-quality, and very functional for ladies and men who have incontinence problems

I never thought I would need one of these but I bought it and love it. I never smell any of the diapers and the refills last a very long time. It is easy to open when your hands are full. Occasionally the little door will stay stuck open and I have to close it manually. Very easy to take out!
