Diaper Genie Select Diaper Pail | Odor-Lock System with Push N Lock Clamp, Stainless Steel Body & Soft-Close Lid | Hands-Free Foot Pedal with Starter Refill (Grey)

Lid is flimsy and does not stay on.

I purchased the Diaper Genie Select model, intending to use it for cat waste disposal. Overall it seems well-made - good capacity, and easy to open to tie off and change the bags. It is vastly better quality than the Litter Genie, and the hatch is spring-loaded so it closes tightly and does a much, much better job of keeping smells in. The bags are also nice and thick and look very unlikely to tear, it opens easily for bag changes, and the smooth stainless steel interior will be easy to clean (if it ever even needs cleaning, those bags are so thick it may not!). The top opens with the foot lever, but mine doesn't close on its own, it stays open until I either push the top closed or I push the foot lever back up with my toes. This is probably a benefit for a busy parent trying to keep one hand on an infant while they throw out the diaper - you don't have to keep standing on the foot lever to keep it open. I was surprised at first, but I've decided I like it - it's easier to use if you don't have to keep a foot on it while you operate the hatch. It has one notable drawback though - when you put a diaper (or cat droppings) into it, you have to push down on the thing you're putting into it with your hand to open the hatch. Advice for cat owners looking for something better than the Litter Genie - the Diaper Genie is great, but it requires a little creativity. The area around the hatch is wide enough it's no problem depositing cat waste into it, but it's narrow enough you won't be able to fit most litter scoops in to push down and open the hatch. You can either use some sort of "poop disposal stick" to push the hatch open, or you can do what I do and put the cat waste into one of the little bags meant for picking up after your dog on walks. Then you just push the little bag through the hatch with your hand, and the whole thing is very clean and easy. The trick with the dog waste bags would probably work with a full or icky diaper too. There are special brands of dog walking bags meant to break down within 5 years in landfills and leave no microplastics, so it's guilt-free, and less than $25 for a one-year supply. It removes all grossness from pushing... whatever... through the hatch with your hand, and it offers a second layer of odor and moisture control. I highly recommend the Diaper Genie select for diapers *or* cat waste. It's 10000% nicer than the Litter Genie, and the spring-loaded hatch closes tightly enough to prevent any issues with odor or insects.
