Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Cost IS a Factor We try and watch are money (like most folks) and in comparing the Diaper Champ to the Diaper Genie it was a hands down winner! We looked at the Diaper Genie, even had a recommendation from another couple for it while shopping but, still there was this hesitation....proprietary bags. My wife and I discussed it briefly. I offered that the D.G. locked us into some expensive bags, where the Diaper Champ didn't. However, I DID agree that if the Champ was ever "retired" for poor odor control we'd rub that magic lamp and get a Diaper Genie! What We Discovered Outside the Ring (Home) Once I got the Champ out of the box just pop the main basket into the base, put in a bag and you're ready for Round One! I discovered that the Champ was a little tough to open. There is a tab on one side of the unit that must be lifted to access the bag. My wife nearly broke a fingernail trying to open it. (Maybe she just wanted me to take the full bags out?) ;-) Daily Operation is a Breeze Once you've folded the diaper up drop it in the shoot and move the handle over. This forces the weighted plunger to push the diaper in the bag. Super easy...no hand cranking! The seal has dislodged a bit but this has had no negative impact on blocking the odors. Recommended Yes
