Playtex Diaper Genie II Review

As a new parent I wasn't sure what was best to handle dirty diapers and lessen oders in my baby's room.   I read a bunch of review and spoke with other mothers and it seemed like the Diaper Genie II was the most popular and recommended.  It works well at containing odors but we have had a recent problem with it.  As my son got older and was creating larger BM's the diapers were more full and required more force to push them into the bin and past the mechanisim that helped to trap the odors.  Well a few weeks ago i was trying to push through one of his heavier diapers and a piece of the plastic popped off of the mechanisim.  The pail still works, but now it is lopped-sided and is a pain to use.  It also doesn't trap the odors as well.   I am not sure if we are going to keep the broken one right now or if we are going to look into buying a new pail, but if we do it will not be the Diaper Genie II.  The other downside to this pail is the expensive refills for the liners.
