I like this a lot. It holds the scent in pretty good, but not sure it holds it in quite as much as the diaper genie, though it comes in close 2nds. It’s easier to put diapers in this compared to the diaper genie. Think about sliding a dirty diaper through an easy sliding door (you pretty much drop it in) compared to cramming it down a hole. � diapers tend to mush going in the diaper genie. My favorite feature is the foot lever for hands-free use. Overall, very satisfied with my purchase.(If you buy this, make sure to buy Dekor name brand refills. The off brand sucks and are not that much cheaper!! I used one refill, and every time I changed the pail, I would clean and deodorize it really good. It would stink with the very first diaper. I changed it every day and I could smell it a couple feet away.)
