Playtex Diaper Genie Elite REVIEW & Compared to Essentials model

2014-06-19
hey everyone this is Jimmy with Jim's review room welcome to another review now as some of you may know I'm a new dad and venturing into really unknown territory now everyone with kids said to get a diaper Gd and I have both here the elite and the essentials model priced at $39.98 size for seven dollars so without further ado we'll get started now a diaper pail in this case the diaper genies are meant to stow stinky diapers away creating a more hygienic nursery now at first the pail looks so simple that I thought the genie was just a gimmick the pail itself surprisingly is just a big hollow case that holds garbage bags inside but obviously I was wrong in the end and it goes way beyond that now we've used a regular trash can and also placed a carbon filter on there it retained the smell however when we open the trash can on the next news it absolutely rates it was horrible the Genie pals have a clamping mechanism that somewhat seals the bag temporarily until you use the genie again and the refill bag themselves have five layers to them so no smell escapes through the plastic now on the elite model if I can put this into an analogy is kind of like an airlock now one compartment opens and once the diaper is in then it closes compartment 1 you can say while the diaper moves into compartment 2 below which is where the main trash bag stays now the essential model on the other hand has just one compartment it looks like and you have to manually push the diaper through the odor sealing door in both models that I've been using for the past three months both performed as well sealing and odor never once that I smelled dirty diapers in the room and when using the genie themselves and then opening and closing the lid no smells really escaped or escaped at all now hover from my tests and experiences I highly recommend spending the extra $10 and getting the paddle pushing taller relief model the essentials at times would be tough to push through and it felt less sanitary since I do have to wash my hands now you can say to get the diaper through that door but other functions to answer some common questions the trash bag is one continuous roll it's not perforated so there's no individual compartments for each diaper which is fine for my experience now either getting these smaller essentials or the taller elite they both hold a very good number of diapers until the base is filled so I don't think that would be too much of a concern for you the bag can eventually be cut anywhere at any time so there's minimal waste you have to tie a quick knot on both ends though just to dispose the bag and while each diaper is pushed down and in the trash bags rolls out automatically so it's okay to bump the plastic liner with the back of your palm or hand accidentally if that's the case much cleaner than using a standard trash can so that's it for this review I know it's a quick and simple one here but I hope you enjoyed it in some way and it did help you as well please take your time to like and subscribe to my channel for more reviews down the road and find me on Facebook or Google Plus this is Jimmy with Jim's review room take care everyone bye
