The Diaper Genie Platinum is definitely an upgrade from the classic Diaper Genie. I love that it’s stainless steel and has a much more sleek look. I feel like it kept in odors so much better than the plastic pails. It’s really easy to use with the foot pedal. I also liked the new easy roll bags - when I needed to change the bag I didn’t need to cut anything, just pull the bag up and tear it, the new one is right there. I did feel like it was a little cumbersome to initially get the roll started, reaching to the bottom, but once it’s started, the rest was easy. Overall I think this is much improved and would definitely recommend. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me this diaper pail to try.
