It is the perfect size for my lunch to work. I bought it because I wanted stainless steel instead of plastic and the description says it is leak-proof, but the I did not expect it to be microwave safe without the lid. The box said the lunchbox is made of microwavable steel so that was a surprise even though I have yet to try it. Also, I like the removable divider.

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.

Cannot microwave with the cover. That defeats the purpose. I gave the container away. Why make it microwaveable but then you have to find an alternative cover? Especially for the price? I do not recommend spending your money on this item. Not worth it.

I bought this to save on continous cost of disposable lunch containers and I am truly satisfied with my purchase. Its compact yet has the capacity to hold a decent size portion of food, with and without the separator. I plan to buy each of my daughters their own.

First off, all the bad reviews saying it’s hard to open are from people that can’t read directions. There’s a little rubber pop tap at the top that releases any suction and once that’s pulled up it can be opened very easily. When the tab is pressed down, the top is locked on. That being said, this bento box is a life saver. I no longer have to use plastic sandwich bags and the sandwiches and snacks I put in stay fresh until they’re eaten. It’s also very easy to clean and I plan on buying more soon.

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.

Great product: size, quality, design, color. We have not tried to use this in the microwave yet, but I am intrigued that we can use it there too. My daughter loves this lunch box! She had wanted something similar in glass, but then we found this product, which is much lighter-weight.

Deducting 1 star for the clear coat exterior that ended up peeling off after a few uses. Otherwise this is a perfect product and does everything it's supposed to do. Goes from fridge or freezer directly into oven or microwave, food cooks up beautifully, looks and tastes great, and cleans up easily. The lid seals very well. My only complaint is that coating. Bentgo could save some money by just not buying that coated material... Anyway, love it, it's saved me so much money not buying food for lunches during the week, while eating better food (my own) too.

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.

Great size and I love the versatility of the divider so it can be used to divide the way I need day-to-day. Only downfall for me is how hard it is to get the lid off. I love that it’s leakproof but that makes it difficult due to the suction. Maybe if there was an extra piece to grab onto it would be easier.
