My reason for purchasing this item was to pack pasta salad in school lunches without the oily leaked mess. This container did a good job preventing the lunch bag from getting slicked, but the divider did not do the same (under multiple trials). Ideally, I would have liked to order a smaller leak proof container just for the pasta salad, but did not see any offered. This size container is just too big for a single portion so I'm not really sure what to do with it.

This is a great container that we aim to use for countless years to come. Strong, sturdy, air tight. We bought the stainless without coating, as other reviewers indicated that it has a tendency to scratch off. This looks smart and fits into our various sized lunch bags. Really satisfied.

I had a difficult time getting the top off. This led me to believe that by the time you get the top off, you’ve basically made a “tossed salad” of your meal. So I returned this item. I do like the Snack Cups and the Modern - but I wish both would have larger capacities.

I spent an immense amount of time researching stainless steel boxes for lunches and had settled on Bentgo. However, I should've paid more attention to the reviews that noted how quickly the paint chipped off after just one wash(even the "stainless steel" color - presumably this should not have an extra pigment!). For spending so much money on this item, I would've expected higher quality. Finally, it is nice that the container locks securely, but it is too difficult for our childcare provider to open every day.

Very good product,i love it..i recommend for everyone

The cover started peeling day 1, just like many of the other pictures you see in the reviews. We had only washed it once by hand. Returned it.

The material and container is made of stainless steel, it is not flimsy so I know its durable. The size of the container is also bigger than what I anticipated which is not really a bad thing.

My 8 and 5-year-olds have difficulty opening these containers at school on their own, which has been a bit frustrating. I was hoping for something more user-friendly for younger children.

I have bought several Bentgo products, and have been really happy with all of them, until I bought this lunch box. It is incredibly difficult to open, almost impossible. My daughter was not able to use it.

This is a great lunchbox and I'm happy it's not plastic but it's VERY hard for my young son to open. I think it's probably great for older kids. I wish I had known.
