Bentgo MicroSteel Leak-Proof Lunch Box

excellent product

The product is of good quality, easy to maintain, and best of all can be used in the microwave to heat food.

It was true to size. Keeps heated meals hot for quite a while, which is what i got it for. Love it. Not the cheapest, but well worth the money as it does what i need it to do.

Quality wise very good looking but hard to open

I bought both the black and rose gold versions of this for storing dinner leftovers. It is a great design for keeping different things separate at home (like rice and veggies). I never microwaved my leftovers in it, though the product description and review from Wirecutter claim it is microwave safe.My daughter liked it so much, she started using it for her lunch each day instead of plastic bags (things like PB&J sandwich and carrot slices). Unfortunately, that is where this failed us. The rose gold and black film started peeling off almost immediately when it was used and washed daily. It leaves rose gold and black film everywhere. Skip the colors and get one that is just stainless.

Avoiding plastic isn't easy, and my adult son that I bought it for wants something microwaveable instead of something insulated & therefor bulky. This came as close as possible to matching my apparently difficult requirements.✅ Not plastic. Plastics degrade into microplastic particles that our bodies have no way to remove, and their plasticizers leach into food. The majority of lunch containers on the market are nevertheless plastic or include unwanted plastic elements.✅ Stainless steel, yet microwaveable. I think it's due to a combination of the type of stainless steel and the rounded edges. There are limits on the power of the microwave (1000W) but he hasn't had trouble with the microwave at work.✅ Stainless steel doesn't stain. Rounded corners. Easy to clean.✅ Stainless steel doesn't mind heat or cold.✅ One dividable box seems more flexible (for our food habits anyway) overall than common multiple small stacking containers (designed for lunches consisting of rice & something else). For soup I switch to a thermal food jar.❌ Has an unwanted thin exterior coating purely to add color. Whole point of stainless steel is it doesn't need it, and the coating will just come off. Lost a whole star for this.❌ Nothing keeps the lid on but a silicone seal that will probably fail within a few years, limiting its durability and longevity.It's possible to find (and I did) an insulated pack that it fits into rather snugly. The pack is advertised to keep "hot" or cold, but really only cold because plastic doesn't deal well with heat. At best, warm for a few hours. This is a problem with the pack not the bento box itself; just mentioning so you're aware of the option & its limitations. I can just squeeze in a hot/cold pack to keep it warm (not really hot) or cold longer.
