The Pet Genie Pet Waste Disposal System is generally well-regarded for its odor control, especially in households with multiple dogs. It has some design issues, especially around odor containment, that make it less ideal. Some users report lasting long term odors in their garage even when they are using it. Users mention missing parts and the smell leaks out. Users also mention issues removing the full bag from the system. People generally need a fix solution that can help improve this product.

Tip: Redesign or improve seal.

If you can find a solution that helps with replacing the refills, this product may a good idea. But searching for the refills might be a hassle. For now, I'd recommend looking at alternatives unless you find the refill issue has been solved on this product.
