I did not like this box at all. It was so bulky and heavy. It is very hard to get the ice pack liner separated from the tray. Everything leaks and blends into each side. Crackers got all crumbled on top of the fruit next to it, the divider doesn't do much. I wish I could return it! I am a huge Bentgo fan, but this product was a complete miss. It will live in my cupboard unused. I will keep grabbing my beloved Bentgo snack box wishing it was a little bigger with an ice pack.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Christine L.,
Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Bentgo Chill Mini Lunch Box. We’re so sorry to hear this design didn’t meet your expectations, especially since you’ve enjoyed our other Bentgo products. The Chill Mini is meant to offer a compact all-in-one option with a cooling feature, but we understand the size, weight, and compartment fit aren’t the right match for everyone.
We’d love the chance to troubleshoot the issues you experienced with the ice pack tray and the leaking between compartments, as this shouldn’t be happening. Please reach out to us directly at support@bentgo.com or call us at (714) 668-0300 so we can assist further and explore options to make this right for you.
Thank you for being a loyal Bentgo fan and for letting us know how we can improve.
I ordered this one because it has an ice pack that should keep things cold, but it doesn’t seem to stay cold very long. I am trying to avoid plastic bags, but this isn’t what I expected

Hi Kim M.,
We’re sorry to hear the ice pack in your Bentgo Chill Kids Lunch Box didn’t keep food as cold as expected. Here’s a quick tip that may help: for best results, we recommend placing the ice pack in the freezer overnight (at least 6–8 hours) before use and packing the lunch box in an insulated bag to help maintain the cool temperature longer.
We’ll also be reaching out to you directly to offer additional support. In the meantime, please feel free to contact us at support@bentgo.com or 714-668-0300 so we can help make this right.
