Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Comparison: Genie, Plus, Classic *I hope this review and photos are helpful! This is the review I wanted when trying to decide which Dekor to buy. Updated Note 5/2018: We have used this for close to six months now. While I do still love it, it has started to stink. My husband comments on it. He didn't share that complaint very often with the Genie. The entire unit stinks, not just when I am opening the trap down to drop a diaper. When I open the main door to remove the diapers, a big waft hits me before I have even disturbed the diaper bag. I do believe the smell seeps through the bags (I started with their own and have just recently tried Babyfeel just to see if that brand might be better - seems to be the same). Once the smell seeps through the bag, I'm pretty sure it is being absorbed by the plastic. To combat this issue, I am going to bag the stinky diapers and either dispose of them right away or have them double bagged with a grocery sack. Also, I did dump some baking soda into the bag once and that helped absorb the odor. I still am not ready to go back to a Genie, but I did want to add a word of caution if you are switching for scent control. Original review, unchanged: We used the Genie for 21 months now and I'm glad to move on. The sleeves were annoying and so frequently had to shake/rock the unit around to get the diapers to drop. Occasionally, with a large, full diaper, I had to push it in. Yuck. This won't happen with a NB size, but a size 4, yes. Also, the Genie sleeves are a bit more costly. Plus: love it! The trap door is spring loaded for the right weight of a diaper and it closes very quickly. I thought the lower height might become a complaint of mine, but since I don't have to push the diaper in, it isn't an issue. My one and only complaint is that the bags are a noisy plastic when removing the bag (think grocery sack). Not really an issue, but I did frequently gather them after the toddler was sleeping. Easy to change my ways for the benefit of loving the pail! Other reasons to love: +price! ($32 Warehouse open box!) +replacement bag price +shape of canister +contains smell very well +sleek appearance +easy to remove bag +foot pedal +large trap door compared to Classic +lid can disassemble to become a garbage with a lid (I didn't verify this, but it was a bonus feature in my selection of Dekor) Classic: Same benefits as the Plus, except that the trap door is smaller. See pictures if this is important to you. It don't make a difference for a newborn, but I like the size for our size 5 toddler diapers! Also, the classic holds quite a few less diapers. It doesn't feel too much smaller than the Plus. I think you would be happy with either if you don't mind changing the bag a bit more often, and if the trapdoor size isn't an issue. I did not physically use this one since I plan to return it. I'm sure the door is large enough, but since there was a big difference between the two trapdoors, I wanted the larger. Refills cost the same per diaper capacity when I did the math. Overall, the Plus seems comparable to the Genie in capacity, is more user-friendly, contains the smell better since the trap door shuts so quickly with each use, and is more cost effective. And, it can be used as a garbage in the future. I'm a Dekor convert for sure! *I think you would be happy with the Classic as well, but no one wants to change them out anymore than you have to. See the pictures for size difference; the trapdoor size was the factor that swayed me to keep the Plus and return the Classic. I hoped the Classic would fit beside our toilet in the bathroom, but it is too large for the space. I may try the mini, though I would imagine the trapdoor will be somewhat small for pull-ups and toddler diapers. (Not a verified observation, just a guess) The last photo is the Genie compared to the Plus.
