Awesome diaper pail, June 5, 2008
We have twins and love this diaper pail. It never stinks at all, thanks to the filters, which are cheap, and really easy to replace. The automatic lid is great - you just wave your hand over it and it opens and automatically closes. You never have to touch the lid. You can use regular garbage bags which also saves $$. It fills up after 2-3 days because of the amt of diapers twins generate. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Better than the diaper champ and worth the money., September 13, 2008
got this pail reluctantly since there were so many terrible reviews about this one and most people praised the diaper champ. I got it because I was able to get it free through a work incentive program, so i thought I'd try it out. Now that i have it, i would have paid the $50 or so for it.
My daughter is 3 months old now and I haven't had to change the batteries yet. I can use the target stretchy grocery bags in it... i'm sure you can use others but those tie the tightest when i have to throw the diapers out. I love the touch free aspect so you don't have to let go of the baby on the changing table to throw away the diaper.
As far as the smell goes... there is none! We are in a small apartment and have it in our bedroom and haven't smelled the dirty diapers once. However, when we went to visit a friend who has a baby the same age as ours. We used their "diaper champ" and both my husband and I noticed that their diaper pail smelled bad and didn't like having to reach over to turn the handle thing.
Some other negative comments people have made about it are that you have to empty the diapers frequently. I only have had to change it every couple days at the beginning when you change a million diapers a day, and now that we're changing diapers less, i probably empty it once or twice a week. Besides, i don't like to have dirty diapers sitting in my house a long time anyways.

Touch free...a fun toy for kids..., October 13, 2008
We have 16 month old twins so we go through A LOT of diapers. A few months ago, I got fed up wasting money on diaper genie refill packs and started shopping around. The Graco diaper pail got excellent reviews here so I jumped in, and decided to surprise my wife with a new solution, even though it was priced pretty high compared to what we felt a 'diaper pail' should cost.
When she saw it, her first reaction was 'well, it's nice, but...how do we stop the twins from triggering the infra-red opener and playing with it.' Valid concern, the diaper pail quickly became one of their favorite toys (as any parent knows, the best toys from a kid's perspective are the ones that parents don't encourage).
Open...close...open...close... Then one day, the diaper pail got over-full, and somehow wouldn't open or close anymore. When I emptied it, somehow the mechanism to open and close had broken, just weeks after buying it. We can (and do) still manually use the pail, but the electronic part no longer works...
So, my advice is that this would probably be good for new parents, up until kids start walking around themselves and getting curious. I would be careful to empty this regularly, because I suspect ours broke once it got too full. At some stage you may want to just turn off the infra-red part, and just use it manually, it works fine that way.
