Bentgo® Fresh – Leak-Proof, Versatile 4-Compartment Bento-Style Lunch Box with Removable Divider, Portion-Controlled Meals for Teens and Adults On-The-Go – BPA-Free, Food-Safe Materials (Gray)

This is the second Bentgo lunchbox I have purchased. I purchased this one because the older model does not include a compartment large enough for a full, uncut sandwich. This model is significantly wider than the slimmer version. It's still fine, but I do wish they would have made this one as thin as last one. I find the additional depth of this model a bit more bulky than necessary. That said, I would still purchase again because overall it's still smaller than most other bento style lunchbox options, and definitely smaller than a traditional children's lunchbox. Although I don't use it, the sandwich compartment comes with a removable partition in case you wish to further section off food. The compartments are very generous, and easy to pack any common lunch fair such as popcorn, pretzels, apple slices, cheese sticks, baby carrots, raising, full sized sandwich on wider artisan bread, etc. I love the fact that this lunchbox (just like the original model) does not need a carrying case. To wash, simply remove inner tray then wash and allow to dry. It's dishwasher safe, but I just hand wash mine because it's so convenient and washes up so fast and easy. Other than wishing this model was less deep, there are really no negatives to this purchase. The deeper compartments do allow you carry more generous portions of things like potato chips if desired - this may be more of a plus for older users since they eat more than primary school students. Again, it's not really an issue and I'd buy this over and again. I own plenty of other lunchboxes, but this is my go to for daily use!

We have about 10 different Bentgo items, and they are all outstanding. I really appreciate that they don't leak and are still easy for my child to open by herself. As well, the little insert cups make them even more customizable and are wonderful at home for snacks and side dishes. I do recommend the one with five compartments be used for preschool and kinder or picky eaters who need lots of choices. Bigger bodies need the containers with fewer compartments so they can have bigger portions. We have plastic and steel options, and we like them both. We also have the cute ice packs, the insulated carrying case, and the back pack. The items are all very well constructed. The backpack is very functional, and still looks new after being used every day since August. I'd love to see a slightly longer backpack for when she gets older so she can fit more standard folders in it. Not needing two bags is such a life saver when we are rushing out the door since we never forget her lunch anymore! Highly recommend this brand.

I have tried so many different types of lunch boxes and containers for my son and have had problems with all of them. The biggest issue with most of them is that they don't keep food fresh long because they're not totally sealed, so, for example if I were to cut up apples and carrots the night before, put them in the lunchbox and put the lunchbox in the fridge, by morning everything would be brown and wilty. With this box I feel like I can prep lunch the night before and not worry about it! I put apples in one small compartment, carrots in the other, and use the main large compartment for his protein bar, snack size chips and a fun size kit kat or something like that. I also love that the Bentgo fits inside his Super Mario lunch bag PERFECTLY, and I can even throw a freezer thingy on top and put his juice or milk box on top of that and zip the whole thing up! No need for separate containers. It's VERY easy to open and close and seals very well. The BEST part about it is that you can just pull the food container out of the hinged part and throw it in the dishwasher or rinse it quickly in the sink between uses. It's very, very convenient. The box is high quality and well made and doesn't feel the least bit cheap. My son loves it and so do it! Thanks Bentgo! And yes, I paid full price for it!

This is our 3rd Bentgo Box purchase. We started with the Bentgo Kids. It served us well from pre-school through first grade. It is still great for taking snacks to the beach, park, day camp, etc. Then we bought the Bengo Fresh and the Bentgo Stainless steel models to accommodate increased appetites. I LOVE them all. All three boxes have been easy for kiddos to open/close and are truly leakproof. Want to pack chicken salad and crackers for lunch? Not a problem, everything stays in its own compartment. I like having everything in one container. The box fits easily into a backpack, and at the end of the day, I am not stuck with a bunch of small containers to wash (assuming they make it home), and I don't need to use plastic baggies or other single-use containers. It saves me money and is good for the planet. Win-win. The bento box design and portions allow for enough variety to keep kids interested in their own lunch. The entire unit can go in the dishwasher too. I usually hand wash the outer case and throw the inserts into the machine. It's just easy. All three models have proved durable. One of the boxes had a hinge that failed, but Bento Customer Service quickly resolved the issue. No hassles. They stand by their products.

The lunchbox is nicely sized for our elementary age child. Nicely fits a sandwich and sides. Easy for a child to open and close. Overall we've been pleased with the box. Our first Bentgo Fresh box had issues with mold forming on the interior lid after a few months of use and proper washing. We reached out to the company and their service was excellent. They offered suggested options for cleaning and when that didn't resolve the issue they sent us a new box. We're hopeful it was just a fluke and we won't run into any issues with mold with our new box.
