I was given this diaper pail to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I never owned a diaper genie with my first two kids, but I wish I would have. The odor blocking ability of this diaper pail is magic. We keep the pail in our bedroom. Our daughter has had many very smelly diapers, but we cannot smell a thing after we put them in the diaper genie. I love the stainless steel look and feel of it. The built in bag cutter is another great feature! I also really like the square refill bags giving a little more space to put the diaper in than a round opening would provide. If I had to be very picky, my only complaint would be that you need to push the diaper into the pail through the opening. On occasion, my hand has gotten a little damp while doing this from the condensation on the inside of the bag. All in all this is a great diaper pail and I would recommend this to anyone!
