[=] keeps food and soup warm for at least 6 hrs [+] vacuum release valve makes easy for kids to open when the pressure builds up [=] the built in handle bar in the cover makes it easy to carry and open [=] cover doesn’t fit tightly, but soup doesn’t leak either. [=] the inside finish looks more chrome and feels different from other stainless steel food jars (Stanley, Thermos, Lunchbot). I am no metallurgist to tell apart. Overall, it meets my expectation. Wish there is a bigger size that is between this one 29oz and the Stanley 3qt crockpot

Not sure about the pressure release on this one. Because it's right under the handle, it really is a huge challenge to press while turning the handle. My husband had to twist the cover off the first time we opened it, because the seal was so tight.

This food container is a nice design, but the size and shape are impractical for the average lunch box. This is quite a giant container. It is nicely made and aesthetically pleasing, but unfortunately, I have to send this back.

Kept my yogurt ice cold! Can't wait to test it with hot food. It's definitely leak proof and while appears to be quite large, fit comfortably in my normal lunch box. Love it!

Nice travel container keeps food cool and liquids in. Only complaint I have is the lid is a little hard to get on correctly. It takes several tries to get it to thread correctly. Other than that I love this container

What a great insulated food container. The grandkids love left-over "sketti" and the size is perfect for kid-sized portions. Anything can fit in this container: your imagination is the limit! Soups too. Easy to open and close.

My 6th grader loves having a hot lunch from home. I'm back to buy another one for my 8th grader. The container is LARGE! We've been sending in hot pasta, curry and steamed dumplings. Delish!

Love the blue finish on the outside of the container. Have used it a couple of times for cold food and then for hot food. Kept the temperature pretty well. Good size and high quality.

My daughter LOVES her Bentgo gifts. She said they are the best presents. This insulated food container helps keep her soups very hot. Amazing quality containers!!

I have an adult son with disabilities. He cant use any item that plugs in. Or, one has to pull open. This item suits his needs well. He is able to get it oprn easily. His hot lunch is ready when he is. Ty
