we've been using these lunch boxes for our young kids for over a year - they're great. good size, leak proof, easy for even our 3 year old to manage. one of the boxes had a latch come detached and the customer service was excellent - replaced it for us right away. i would definitely recommend this lunch box.

The top color is peeling off leaving a trail of the material in our dishwasher, lunch box case and possibly in my child's food as it gets everywhere and hard to wipe away. Would love an updated version of just stainless so nothing peels off. Leave the color latches for personalization. Thanks

I was so excited to find a non plastic lunchbox. We have purchased 2 of these for each of one kids (7 and 13). Both were hand washed only. Both have nearly all the paint chipped off from normal back and forth transport to and from school and the back hinge has broken off on one. I will not be purchasing bentgo products in the future.

We've had this lunchbox for a couple of months now. Unfortunately the paint chipped on the top after only a few uses and got progressively worse, but customer service has been very helpful and we're going to go with the gray stainless option for a replacement so we don't run into the same issue again. The compartments are the perfect size to fit a variety of lunch items and the flexible tray provides even more options. Love that it doesn't have plastic on the inside. The hinges can be a bit noisy; I wish they'd change the design to help with that, but it's not a major issue. We bought a lunchbox too and it fits perfectly inside with room for ice packs or other small items. Overall a solid choice.

I am always looking for stainless steel products for our food and beverages. Finally found a lunch box for kids. My son is a picky eater and I think compartmentalizing helps him be a better eater. Perhaps it's a visual thing. Anyway this product has the stainless steel feature I was looking for and the cute compartments. I can safely put piping hot food directly into his lunch box worry free.

We love the stainless steel option, but our 4YO daughter is not able to open and close this box. It's also quite large and heavy. On the positive side, it does hold a lot of eats, and the removable cup is a nice bonus compartment. Though it says that this Bentgo box is intended for children ages 3 and up, it might be better for older children.

I posted a review on this site about a couple of small issues that we had with one of our two stainless steel Bentgos. I received a rapid response from Bentgo via email and was able to speak to a customer service representative as soon as I connected via phone. The defective unit is being replaced at no charge to me. Impressive customer service - another reason to keep using Bentgo as my kids grow. Thank you!

I own 5 of these lunch boxes! 5! They are leak proof and eliminate the need for small Tupperware and plastic bags. They have streamlined our mornings and I will never go back a regular lunch box. They are a low profile (a little on the heavy side), but I wanted metal and not plastic. We make our lunches the night before and they stack easily in the fridge. My kids love them and I ended up buying 2 more for my husband and I. These are a MUST BUY, especially with Bentgo's fabulous warranty.

I bought the Bentgo stainless steel lunchbox hoping it would be a durable option, but the latches are way too stiff. They're so hard to close that even I struggle with them — and my son can't close it at all on his own. That completely defeats the purpose of sending it in his lunch bag. It looks nice, but the design just doesn't work in real life. Really disappointed, especially for the price.

We purchased two of the Bentgo Stainless Steel lunch boxes for the 2022/23 school year. One purple and one fuschia. We had previously been using the smaller plastic Bentgo (we purchased five of them and they are still working well - just a little small for our growing kids). We were excited to start using the Stainless Steel boxes. Unfortunately, most of the paint peeled off the fuschia box within the first month. And now, six months into use, the plastic closure clip on the same box has chipped compromising functionality. I am now looking for other stainless steel options that will last.
