I originally received the Genie for a shower gift and didn't know of the "the champ" until I saw it at a girlfriend's house... How easy!? and no extra cost for bags! Perfect. The ONLY drawback is the occasional smell which we've remedied by individually bagging the poopy diapers. There is a great item at Bed Bath and Beyond that holds grocery bags for you... so, we purchased one of those, mounted it to our wall next to the diaper champ and we're set! Seriously, it holds more than the genie and it is sooo cost effective. Not to mention, just plain easier!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product! It is SO much easier to use than the Diaper Genie, (you need a PHD in poopy to figure out how to use the darn thing!) and it even takes the same bags as my kitchen trash can, shich is super convenient, and cost efficient as I can buy them in bulk.
The only reason for not rating it a 5 star was that I did have one small problem with it. The foam gasket in the barrell which keeps the poopy smell inside the unit ripped somehow, and it got VERY stinky. HOWEVER, I contacted the manufacturer though their website, and received an email back the same day stating that this was unusual, and that replacement gaskets were on their way to me. They arrived inside of a week and after replacing, it works great again! (They even sent me extras should it happen again)
I HIGHLY reccomend this diaper pail over ANY competitors, you will not be sorry!

We recieved the Diaper Champ as a gift from a friend and truly love it. It is so easy to use and we have not experienced any smells. We change the bag quite frequently because it is after all a diaper pail. Definitely recommend it to all who are looking for an easy to use cost efficent diaper pail.

With any diaper pail, it also helps to follow sanitary guidelines put forth by most municipalities to flush solid waste if possible, instead of tossing diaper and all contents into the trash. It's really not that much effort; you're going to wash your hands anyway; and it drastically reduces the odor.

Simply save the plastic bags from grocery shopping and be sure to empty your garbage everyday. WAHLAH!

I have the diaper champ-but really it fits like three diapers then I have to change the bag. I've just resorted to the grocery bag method.
