Ok for wet but not poopy diapers
This product is ok for wet diapers and keeps smell in ok for them but would never work for larger poopy diapers. You have to push the diaper thru a tight hole and would be unsanitary. I put the poopy diapers in a separte bag and walk take out to trash. Design flaws are : 1) You have to push a diaper through tight hole and does not work for poopy diapers. 2) The refill bag cardtrige has a sharp lip on it and when you stick your hand down to push the diaper in...you have to watch because it scraps and can cut your hand.

Couldn't live without it.
I love my Diaper Genie 2. I have walked into houses that are engulfed in the scent of dirty diapers from poor disposal units. I have never had a problem with this one. It smells when you are changing out the dirty, but that is to be expected. This is a great product.

Crappy Product -> Crappy Hands
I honestly do not understand the positive reviews this product is getting. I've never used the DG1, but I've only used the DG2 for less than a week and will be going to purchase some other diaper disposal system today. I guess the system keeps down the smell OK, but I'm not sure that it's totally worth it to have to get excrement on your hands every time you change a diaper. As mentioned by previous posters, there is a spring mounted mechanism that makes you forcibly push the dirty diaper down into the contraption. If the diaper is full, squishing it up against the odor locking door forces the diaper's contents to come out. I just don't get how this is a good system. I honestly don't think buying the refills are all that burdensome since they aren't too much more expensive than garbage bags, my main beef is the ease-of-use and sanitary aspects of the product. Would not recommend!

Used for Adult diaper
I bought this for my mom when she is staying with me. She uses depends type disposible incontinence underwear. I ended up taking the spring trap off as it kept falling apart. With adult diapers there is more material to put in the pail so I agree with others that the spring load was not handy. I have found that the pail holds more since I removed the spring and I just use scissors to cut the bag and take the bag to the trash. One disk of bag material lasted 1.5 weeks. Even though the spring was missing there wasn't an odor after the door was closed. I admit I use my cat's litter box deodorizer to help with the odors. I wish they made one with a larger opening for the adult size diapers.

It has been great for us
If you are reading reviews on Diaper Genies, make sure you differentiate the Diaper Genie and the Diaper Genie II. They are very different systems. The original uses a system that twists diapers into a string of individual sausage like packages. The Diaper Genie II is simple in that it just has a spring loaded trap door that you push diapers through and then snaps shut to seal them inside.
Additionally, I would suggest Googling "Diaper Genie" for a mix of advice. You will find some interesting results. In particular, there seem to be a lot of photos of people's first Diaper Genie bag. There is a strange following for these little devices. A lot of the posts out there are negative, but we have really appreciated having ours.
First off, we chose disposable diapers. For many that is a heated subject. We made our choice, and presumably you are considering it, too. Having decided to go with disposables, the Diaper Genie II has been great.
PROS
* easy to use / easy to refill
* no mess, small / compact, sealed
* works great
CONS
* We haven't found many, yet.
* Some people complain about pushing diapers through the trap.
- We don't have trouble with this.
* Can reek after months of use. (We have had ours 6 months)
- this is a common complaint, but we change ours regularly and haven't
had a problem, yet. It does stink at times, but not bad ... so far.
* Dubious environmental impact/disposable diapers sealed in a plastic tube.

fatal design flaw
This product does keep the stink away, and it's easy to use. But it has what I consider a fatal design flaw. When the bags run out, the last length just slips right out of the holder, and you end up with no bag left in the top part of the genie. If you're not watching, you can easily stick a diaper into the genie without a bag. I go through a lot of bags with my twins, so this has happened on more than one occasion. Really irritating.

Not very good
I dont find it very good because when you put a diaper in it , it opens up and the smell is not covered then....otherwise i have no problems with it... it does not leak smell or anything but while putting a diaper in it it definitely leaks and needs to be improved.

Simple to use, great odor control
My husband and I went to Consumer Reports, read online reviews and went to the store to test the diaper disposal systems before we purchased one. We came down to the Diaper Champ and the Diaper Genie 2 and eventually purchased the Diaper Genie 2. The cons are that you have to buy the Diaper Genie 2 refills instead of just using any plastic bag, but this is far outweighed, in our opinion, by the odor control that the Diaper Genie 2 offers. We have had some very messy diapers, and pushing the diaper through the door to the bag has never been a problem. Changing the bags are easy, and changing the refills are easy too. We have never had a problem with odor. My mom was so impressed by how well it worked at our house that she purchased one to have at her house for when we visit.

Love It
I think this is a great product - I prefer pushing the diapers through the spring loaded door rather than twisting into little dirty-diaper sausage links. I have never noticed a smell when pushing new diapers through.

Another option
I used diaper Genie with my first child. With my second I am using a Simplehuman stainless steel trash can I got at Bed, Bath and Beyond for $25. You can also find them at Target. You can use you grocery bags in it. The lid closes tight enough, and I find it easier to use.
