The function is there to prevent soggy ingredients. I was really hoping that I would be able to shake the container to mix everything after adding the top tray ingredients in. The lid does not fit onto the base without the middle tray. If it did this would be perfect.

I absolutely love these Bentgo Salad Containers! These containers allow me to prep salads for my 90 year old Dad and deliver them to him so he can eat them at his leisure. They keep the salad and extra ingredients fresh. The ingredients also stay organized so he can pick what he wants in his salad.

Great purchase. Plenty of room for salads and snacks on the top. Love that everything is in one container. You can separate your dry ingredients if you want to add to your salad later or snacks. The dressing container is perfect and having the fork contained with is perfect! We own 2 of these in different colors for prepping, rotating when in use or if we both want our own separate lunch.

Love the size and ability to separate ingredients that can wilt the greens. Only problem I found was the small dressing container. The lid does not seat completely. It didn't leak but not taking the chance after first use and am using a small screw down lid container and using the dressing container for seeds.

Headed back to the office for the first time during the pandemic, I bought three salad containers to use for lunches throughout the week. I love that they are BPA free and compact. The color olive is nice. The only drawback is that the tops and dressing container must be hand-washed. The shipping took a bit longer than expected. Overall, I am really happy. On a design note, it would be fun to release them in retro colors: harvest gold, avocado, 80s brown, rust, and teal. :)

I’ve ordered several salad bowls and gifted them several times. I like their design, but it is the customer service that brings me back. 1 of my gifted orders was stolen and they redelivered no questions asked. When I had one bowl that stopped closing tightly after about 6 mos they replaced it. Things are going to happen sometimes; I want to work with someone that always makes it right.

My daughter likes to bring salads for her school lunches sometimes. We had trouble finding a container for her salad dressing that was compact but wouldn’t leak. We also had to use three separate containers for lettuce, croutons, and dressing. This salad lunchbox by Bentgo solved all of our problems. There is a tray that sits above the lettuce bowl with separate sections for croutons and whatever else you may add to your salad. In the middle, there is a spot for the dressing container. It has a lid and hasn’t leaked any dressing out. All of this is held together with a snap on lid. There’s a fork on top, which is nice, but the clear cover over the fork sometimes pops off (it may be user error). That’s not an issue, as she carries the salad box in her lunch bag. It is a bit bigger than I expected, but it still fits in her lunch bag with no issues.

I'm a bit disappointed in these, I packed salad dressing with olive oil and it leaked out all over the bowl and mt backpack. Not like a full spill, but oily residue, like just a tiny bit manages to get out? I've tried it twice and it happpened both times. I would've throught the small salad dressing container + big container seal would be enough but I guess not

These work great for salad. They are very well made and sturdy. I have put leftovers (spaghetti) in the bottom and sometimes they leak. Now I'll put leftovers in a baggie within the bottom container and have the kids dump it into the bowl to reheat for lunch. They are advertised as Salad containers and function very well as such.

Found this looking for a way to easily bring salads to work. It’s so great it’s almost perfect! There is plenty of room for an entree size salad and I love how the toppings are kept separate until you’re ready to mix them together. So much easier than having separate containers for everything! My only complaints are that smells are hard to get out of the plastic, and the way the fork is held into the top is a bit finicky and just adds another part to wash.
