Our Bentgos took over 20 days to arrive and now that we have them I'm sorry to say it wasn't worth the wait! School started less than a week ago and our personalization already washed off and we haven't used the dishwasher. Save your money.

It's held up very well with dishwashing and use for the past year. Love that there's no plastic or annoying parts to dissemble to wash. My 7 year old can open and close it just fine. I just wish it were deeper. I won't use this one for packing a sandwich bc it's too shallow for that.

Super disappointed. We love these lunch boxes, they're exactly what I was looking for, but they are not cheap. On a low income, I had to save up to buy these for my 3 school-aged kids. Only half way into the school year and my daughter's lunch box is already losing its color! I usually hand wash them, but since they said they were dishwasher safe I've put them in there twice and it destroyed it. They're too expensive for this to happen. Or at least label them as hand wash only!

The perfect lunch box for middle school. Not too small or too big. Love that is dishwasher friendly and that it has the removable silicon container

Way too big to fit in any kid's lunch bag. I've bought several lunch bags and it doesn't fit inside.

I bought these for my kids for lunches a couple months ago and they claim dishwasher safe but this happened. I hope bentgo can replace this.

Exactly what I was looking for! I've been searching for a leakproof stainless steel lunch box for my son who was about to start his preschool and none of the brands I considered met all of these simple (in my opinion) criterias. The only leakproof option was also Bentgo but it was BPA-free plastic. I almost gave up and was going to buy the one that was stainless steel but not leakproof when accidentally found out about this new product by Bentgo! I couldn't be happier! I also got a new Bentgo 2-in-1 backpack and lunch bag and am super happy with it too! It says that the lunch box is dishwasher safe but I'd still recommend to hand wash it and I'm sure it will last for many years!

The stainless steel interior looks nice but the lunch box is very large and heavy. One of the main issues is the the exterior of the plain stainless steel model gets covered in fingerprints so easily which makes it look dirty all the time. The options with colored surfaces have a lot of review noting the pain getting chipped easily but some sort of silicone cover at least on the top surface would look so much nicer. The second issue is that it's very difficult for a child to close the box properly. You have to pull the cover out slightly before you close it in order for it to shut completely and a 5 year old may have a hard time doing that.

This is great. Researched a lot of options but came back to this one and glad I did. A lot of people complained about the latch. I agree it is tricky but once you learn the “trick” it's fine. Not sure if it will last over time, we've only had them a few weeks. My 8 year old can manage the latch no problem, 5 yr old has trouble. Love the stainless, no plastic, no leakage from one container to another, dishwasher safe, flat profile, food cup sizes and total volume. Those features are perfect for my kids.

Bentgo's stainless steel lunch box has been a game changer! I love the size of the spaces in this box as it offers the ability to put a full sandwich or pasta lunch on the left side, fruits and veggies in the other spaces. The soft insert offers diversity too when I want to add additional munchables, yogurt, applesauce or granola that can be mixed with another area during lunch. I wish it was slightly deeper so the lid could close more comfortably with a bakery bagel ( Thomas bagels fit fine), however I still believe this is a five star lunch box. I plan to purchase another for my daughter, when and if our older Bengto lunch box wears out.
