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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great product with less plastic

I bought 2 of this product a year ago. I am totally happy with the product and it fulfills my expectations
We love our Bentgo boxes, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the improved hinges on our most recent arrival. The clasps to keep the box closed are much easier to operate, too!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The perfect bento style lunch box!

We’ve tried many different bento style lunch boxes and weren’t really ever happy with any of them until we found this one! It’s big enough for even my bigger kiddos appetites and it’s leak proof! I can put yogurt in these without spilling!
These are perfect! You won’t need to look any further than these!

Helps Reduce Plastic Exposure
on August 22, 2023
Posted by: BusyMomReviews1019
I've been trying to reduce my kids exposure to plastic, which is no easy task. The stainless version of these really help. Packing lunches is just as easy with these as with the plastic ones. These are a big more spendy, but that usually is the case for plastic free stuff. These cases are bigger which is nice to I feel like my kids can eat a little more if they are hungry.
