Bentgo Classic - Adult Bento Box, Stackable 3-Compartment Lunch Box with Removable Utensil Set and Sealing Strap, BPA-Free, Food Container Ideal for Meal Prep, Work, and On the Go (Gray)

I love my Bentgo! I was getting tired of using ziplock bags (too much waste) as well as glass containers (too clunky) and mismatched plastic containers (well - okay. I realize that's just fine and functional, but I wanted something *sleek*, you know?). Hunting for Bento boxes online, I decided to go for the Bentgo as my first Bento to see if the Bento lifestyle worked for me. The price point is phenomenal for the size and quality. Go ahead and do a Google search for Bento box providers and you'll see what I mean. I found that, for about this price, you could get big Bento boxes that weren't microwave or dishwasher safe, or you could get teeny Bento boxes made out of durable, food-safe plastics. Now you see why I picked the Bentgo - a decent sized Bento that is microwave, dishwasher, fridge, and freezer safe, as well as BPA-free for under $15! Wow! Now for the Bentgo's performance. I LOVE this thing. I know some have mentioned they would like the size to be a little larger, but I have no qualms here. I normally put a leftover meal (i.e. chicken and rice something or other, pasta with a thick sauce, etc) in the lower compartment, with cold fruit and veggies in the top divided portion. I have also been able to pack a sandwich in the lower compartment if I cut it diagonally and situate the pieces so that they fit. I haven't had any situations where I wish I could pack more food in the Bentgo or anything like that. That's considering my usual lunchtime appetite, so YMMV. I'm not normally one to take salads for lunch, so I can't speak to how it works for salads, and that's where I have seen most people have issues with the Bentgo. As far as the Bentgo's watertightness goes, I have not had any issues here, either - so far. For thicker sauces, such as a thicker dressing (ranch, thousand island, etc) and some pasta sauces that aren't particularly viscous such as spaghetti sauce or thicker Alfredo's and pestos should not present any problems at all, really. As long as you're not replacing your football with your Bentgo or tossing it gleefully into the air as you walk, these sauces shouldn't come loose. I wouldn't recommend packing any oil and vinegar or broth-based soups in this thing, as they recommend against it, and I can see why. The silicone barrier seals well enough, but not completely, and the same goes for the upper lid. I have packed saucy dishes and ranch dressing in my Bentgo and have had no problems at all as long as I keep it upright. The strap also works well and fulfills its duties admirably: it appears to be strong, durable, and does it's job keeping the two compartments fitted together well. My only nit-picky item would be that the silicone barrier does stain, but it washes clean completely with just the stain left behind. This is purely cosmetic, and not anything I am concerned with at all, but it's worth mentioning. A simple bleach followed with a boil may take care of this issue, but I haven't tried that yet. Also, the utensils do pop out occasionally, but not always (for me). If they do pop out, I have found they do still keep the utensils in place during transit, they just aren't stuck in there. The Bentgo delivered on everything I was looking for in a Bento: size, ease, and durable plasticity. I am now happily enjoying the Bento lifestyle, thanks to the Bentgo!

On instagram, there are always a bunch of photos of food in bento boxes, and I got really jealous of the way people could put such a variety of foods in their bento boxes. Every Monday and Wednesday I bring a lunch box to school, and inside the lunchbox, I have some flimsy (probably harmful to my health) tuperware full of the food I brought for lunch. And if I wanted to bring chips, which I haven't been doing lately because I don't like to waste bags, I would have to bring it inside a bag. So I thought it'd be cool if I could find a cool bento box to bring my food in. And through Amazon, my favorite site for shopping, I found the Bentgo lunchbox! The reviews were extremely favorable towards the box, and it makes a lot of sense. The Bentgo lunch box has a very sleek design, which I love—the designer really thought out each aspect of the lunchbox. It's designed in a way that allows you to not only bring a main dish but also two sides or even a side and some dip. This is possible because the lunchbox is made out of two containers: one larger bottom container and one smaller container with a divider. The two containers are held together by a strap (what a great idea). This is great because it saves you from bringing too many separate containers and/or baggies. The fabulous design also allows me to bring reusable utensils (that were included in the package), so I would stop wasting plastic utensils from my school—what another great idea. I've only used the Bentgo lunchbox twice so far, but I'm already really glad I got it. My first lunch consisted of ramen noodles (and, admittedly, my second lunch consisted of ramen noodles) in the big bottom container and hummus and chips in the top container. Usually, before the Bentgo box, I would just bring ramen noodles to school, but because of the awesome divider in the top container, I was able to bring a snack in the top. All the exciting possibilities of stuff that I can bring in the top container along with my main meal in the bottom container is awesome! The idea of bringing fruits, vegetables, or chips in the top without having to baggie it up is awesome. The only thing is that because the top is smaller I wasn't able to bring as many tortilla chips as I wanted to, but it does hold a lot of dip. Now, as I said above, I had brought ramen noodles to school. I filled up the Bentgo with water at school, and then I microwaved it there. From that point, I closed everything up and brought it to a different building on my campus. When I opened up everything, there was absolutely no leaks. This is great because it shows how tight everything is sealed. The nylon strap really does a great job. It's obvious to see that each aspect of the Bentgo box was well designed. Really, I see myself using the Bentgo box a lot in my next two years as a college student. I love how the box is BPA free and how sturdy the box is, and I love how I won't be wasting plastic baggies carrying food. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Bentgo box to my friends because this easily beats bringing food in flimsy tupperware. So if you find yourself in need of a new lunchbox like I did, I don't think you could really go wrong with the Bentgo lunch box.

The size of these lunch boxes is perfect for a portion-conscious office worker. The two boxes are different (one deeper and the other shallow with a divider) so you have options, a nice touch. On the downside, the lids are not the snap-on kind. I knew it was not leak proof so did not expect it to be water-tight, but was surprised that the lid does not snap on, just sort of lays atop the box and would not even stay in place if not for the strap. Also the plastic the boxes are made of, looks brittle, like it can break easily… but we’ll see. Otherwise seems to be a good product, especially for the price. They do have more “professional” versions that address both these issues, but those are more expensive, and larger, so I chose to go with this one. It works so far.

This is a really nice lunchbox. It is well portioned for the entree, and two sides. The plastic is sturdy and feels like it will last a long time. There aren’t any latches, but the parts all stack and there is an elastic band to wrap around the whole kit that has worked for me to keep everything together in my carrier. The added plastic utensils are a great addition and come in handy. I’ve been using this to meal prep lunches for work and it has helped me save money and loose a little weight by helping me not buy lunch everyday and have proper meal portions. This is an easy recommendation from me. I say buy it, if you are on the fence.

I initially bought one for my husband to try out. I was slightly skeptical because the shape looked a bit awkward in the video, larger than what I thought I wanted. Since I like to pack big lunches for my husband, I figured it wouldn't hurt to try it out. Just after a few weeks of using it, I had to go and buy my own. I loved it that much. Some of my favorite features are: - It packs compactly in the cupboard. The smaller container fits snugly inside the larger one and the lids all snap together. - The box is usable even if you only use the larger bottom one. The band fits well enough that the top won't go flying off. I've never attempted to use the smaller divided box by itself, but I would think the band would be a little too loose. - It microwaves well if you follow the instructions and don't put the lids in the microwave. I haven't noticed any warps from reheating. - It cleans up well in the dishwasher. I put the top lids on the top rack and the bottoms sometimes go in the lower rack and we haven't noticed any changes between how the lids fit afterwards. - The utensils are pretty handy! This was a suprise to me. They're made of sturdy plastic and don't bend when you're cutting up something for lunch. - It fits a good amount of food, plenty for an entire workday. If I'm using both boxes, I like to pack my breakfast in the smaller top box and my lunch in the bottom box. I'm definitely stuffed afterwards. - The pieces are color coordinated. I like how I know which box has which lid because the logo is colored. Just a cute touch since all the pieces are interchangeable regardless of color. A few noticeable cons: - The lids don't snap shut and you MUST use the belly band to hold it all together. To me, this isn't a dealbreaker. An older box I had from a different manufacturer had snaps on the sides which actually broke apart after just a few months of use. There was no easy way of securing it after that. This box holds snugly with the band so I'm not too concerned. Just don't go tipping it all over the place. - It's not liquid safe. I wouldn't use this for any foods that are liquidy like stews or pastas. The bottom box may be slightly more liquid tight, but I wouldn't risk it. - The bottom box can be scratched if you use the included knife utensil. Again, not a dealbreaker since no plastic is completely impervious. It had small scratches, not huge gouges after using the knife. I'm just a little more careful now. Overall, my husband and I both love it. The price is perfect for the quality and I'm thinking of gifting these to some friends and family members looking to start packing lunches for work.

It's okay, but has some major problems. I suggest looking at competing products instead of buying this. The volume is not too bad. The top compartment has a divider you can't remove. It would have been much better if the divider was removable. It's annoying to have to split the same dish between the two halves. Also food gets trapped in the corners at the bottom of the divider and it's hard to get out, when eating and even when washing. They should have made those corners rounded instead of 90 degrees. I suppose the divider is there to keep liquids separate, but that wouldn't work: The seal of the lid is not very strong so the liquid would probably leak out, and the divider doesn't make contact with the lid so as soon as the box is not upright (in your bag) they will mix anyway. The shape is a bit of a problem. Perhaps it's unfair to complain about this since I knew the dimensions before buying, but keep in mind that this is not easy to fit into some backpacks. The strap and the lids are very loose so it's very stressful to have it in my backpack in an awkward position (eg. rotated). The strap is very bad. It's basically a soft, flexible fabric. You can use the buckle to adjust the tension, but it seems like your only options are to keep it loose (thus defeating the point of the strap) or really tighten it, which will quickly fatigue the belt and make it loose again. So basically a useless strap because they chose a bad material. I would have preferred a strong seal or a buckle, and ideally the box should still be sealable when not stacked, for portability. A really big inconvenience is the washing requirements. I don't feel like I'm asking too much if I want something I can throw in the dishwasher at the end of the day and be done with it. It is advertised as "dishwasher safe". The manual booklet that comes with it says "Your Bentgo is completely dishwasher safe", but then "If the sealing strap gets dirty, hand wash only". Guess it's not completely dishwasher safe then, huh? I don't mean to nitpick, but they could have easily made the strap dishwasher safe as well, and avoided this whole complication. But they decide to use the stupid fabric they did for god knows what reason. But then the other paper it comes with (yes, this lunch box comes with 2 manuals) says "It is NOT recommended to dishwash or microwave the Bentgo top lid, divider lid or sealing strap". So the instructions contradict themselves, very annoying. Worse, they don't even explain what will happen if you do dishwash. Will it warp? Will it not wash well? Who knows. Basically, it all seems like a bunch of malarkey so they can act like a non-dishwashable product is dishwasher safe and manipulate search results. Keep in mind that in all, this includes 7 parts which must be washed every time, and some are difficult to wash thoroughly (see above about the divider). So it is a bit of a hassle, unless you love doing dishes. In all, I guess for some limited use cases it's a serviceable box, worth maybe $8-10. Don't bother buying for $15, way too much for what it is. Because of the poor seal, divider, etc. however, you would actually be better off with even basic tupperware you can get at your supermarket for 2 bucks each. Those have a perfect seal, are actually dishwashable, and not overpriced. The only advantage of this lunch box is that it has a place for holding utensils... Which, by the way, is also not very good: The utensils never quite fit because they are too close together, and it's annoying to stack the boxes properly after putting the utensils in. If you are looking for a lunch box, I really suggest checking out other products, either at the same or higher price point. This one is frustrating and even the relatively low price still feels like a ripoff. There's gotta be a better one out there.

These boxes are great and the quality is built to last! We all use daily for school and work lunches.

This box is big enough for my breakfast and lunch (roughly 1000 calories total), and it's super fun to pack and eat out of. The plastic is pretty heavy duty (though I haven't microwaved it or put it in the dishwasher)**, and the lids fit snugly on each tier. The bottom tier lid can be tricky, and if you put too much food in the bottom, it won't close securely. I get it to seal by "burping" it, like you do with tupperware. Press it down, then lift up an edge to let out excess air, creating a suction seal. You really do need the strap to hold the tiers together, so make sure you take BentGo up on their offer for a free extra strap. They don't even charge you for shipping! But you have to do it within 30 days of your purchase, so don't wait until you lose your strap! If you bring a sandwich to lunch every day, this might not work for your purposes. You have to be able to get everything in there pretty tightly, and bread just takes up a lot of space. My usual pack is this: --top tier: carrots, 2 egg quiches (made in a muffin pan), 2 squares of dark chocolate broken up to fit --bottom tier: sugar snap peas, shredded chicken, cashews, laughing cow cheese wedges, 2 peeled hard boiled eggs (You need to peel them so they have a little "give" under the lid) Then I usually take an apple or banana on the side. If you're careful about it, you can get a good amount of food in here. Just expect to have to work a bit to get everything to fit. But that's part of the fun! **UPDATE: I have used this in the microwave a couple of time now, and the pieces still fit together just fine. I just didn't microwave with the lid on, which I believe it advises against in the instructions. Also, Bentgo has contacted me multiple times to make sure I'm satisfied with the product. They seem to be a great company that cares about customer service, which is awesome!

My daughter chose and was very happy with the purchase

In die Box passt ein volles Mittagessen mit Nachtisch. Auf den ersten Blick sieht die Box gar nicht danach aus, aber ich war tortzdem mehr als satt (das mag für jeden unterschiedlich sein). Die beiden Teil-Boxen halten nicht von selbst fest zusammen, sondern nur durch das Gummiband. Wenn man das weiß, stellt das auch kein Problem dar. Das integrierte Besteck ist hartes Plastikbesteck, wobei das Messer erstaunlich gut schneidet (hatte dahin gehend kaum was erwartet). Die Box ist nicht komplett wasserdicht, das sollte man beachten. Die obere Teil-Box ist wasserdicht, wenn der Deckel richtig sitzt. Ich würde damit trotzdem keine Suppe transportieren, da der Deckel in meiner Tasche vielleicht etwas bewegt wird (beim Tragen oder durch Stoßen mit anderen Dingen in meiner Tasche) und die Box dann auslaufen würde (mir persönlich reicht da kein Gummiband als Verschlusssicherung). Ob die Box mikrowellenfest ist, kann ich leider nicht sagen, da nicht ausprobiert. (Allerdings steht drauf, Da wir in unserer Studentenwohnung nur wenig Platz haben, finde ichs cool, dass man die kleinere Teil-Box zum Aufbewahren in der Größeren verstauen kann. Das Gummiband hält die Box trotzdem gut zusammen. Nach dem 2. Mal Spülen in der Spülmaschine hat sich der Deckel oder die obere Box leicht verzogen, sodass die obere Box etwas schwerer zu verschließen ist (hat mich aber nicht sonderlich gestört). Insgesamt ein gutes Produkt und genau das, was wir für den Preis erwartet haben. Wenn man mehr will, sollte man wohl 1 oder 2 Zehner mehr hinlegen.

Ich kann nichts negatives über diese Bix berichten. Sie sieht super aus, hat ein gutes Material, das Besteck ist sehr praktisch. Es lässt genügend hinein, um bequem einen ganzen Tag rum zu bekommen! In der Spülmaschine hatte ich die Box bisher noch nicht, aber ich bin guter Dinge, dass die Box auch das gut übersteht.
