Too hard to open

We bought it for the kids to use at school and it's way too hard to open even as adults after following the instructions. I bought it for 2 of my kids and feel like money is wasted.

Hi Tanya, Thank you for reaching out, and we are so sorry to hear about your experience! Because the MicroSteel container uses an airtight silicone seal to prevent leaks, trapped air or temperature changes can sometimes create a strong vacuum seal, making it stubborn to open. Tips for Opening the Lid: Release the Silicone Valve: Make sure to pull up on the silicone air release valve/plug on top of the lid first to break the vacuum seal before trying to lift the latches or cover. Warm the Edges: If it remains stuck, running warm water briefly around the outer edge of the lid can help loosen the silicone seal. We want to make this right for you. Please reach out to our team directly at 657-275-3738 or via email at support@bentgo.com with your purchase details. We would be happy to troubleshoot further, or provide a resolution. Thank you, Jessica Bentgo Support

Great lunchbox, but don’t lose anythinf

Love the lunch box, but the vent tab on the top is easily removed and unfortunately my child has thrown away both of them. So now her lunch box is no longer useable because it is not leak proof and air gets to her food and she won’t eat it. And there is no option for to purchase a replacement lid or tabs.

Absolutely the best I have had

I love the box. I use it almost everyday, commute with it, clean it everyday. It is tight and hard to open and thats what keeps my backpack and lunch box clean. The little vent in the top can be sealed or opened - when its open its much easier to get the lid off. The finish has lasted and Im not complainin about how it looks after years of use. I wish I could get other sizes, some smaller, for smaller meals and snacks.

Almost perfect

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.

Good container, horrible coating

This lunchbox is convenient, it's a good size, quite spill proof and microwavable. But the coating started peeling off from the first wash in the dishwasher, and it's just getting progressively worse. Now it just sheds plastic film that sticks to everything and is no doubt leeching more micro plastics. Just sell them without the coating if it's not for for purpose.

Difficult to open the lid.

I love the dinner version but I don’t like this one. The lid is very difficult to open & close. The silicone lid is much better.

Lightweight and Versatile

I like how light it is and how I can put it in the microwave with a napkin over it and that’s its dishwasher and oven safe. I use it for work.
