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'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

Itʻs the perfect container for me at work. I can place all the bulk of my salad on the bottom while having my toppings separated on top. I donʻt just use if for salad but meals that require heating up in a microwave as the bottom is microwave safe. Again itʻs perfect for me at work!

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.

It’s a large bowl but it is amazing. Super convenient when packing your lunch

I purchased this with the Bentgo Classic lunchbox for my daughter, she loves it!
