[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I spent days trying to find the right kind of bento box and meal prep set for my boyfriend to take to work and I’m so happy with BentGo. I ended up buying this + the salad one + the bag and they’re perfect. I was afraid a compact container would be too small but it’s perfect for a 30yo male that eats a lot! You can pack a lot of food if it’s rice/meat/pasta/curry and a few extras in the small compartments which is what I wanted. A small 2oz container for sauce fits perfectly. The light gray “top” did get stained after the first use of pasta sauce/carrots but that’s pretty normal and easy to remove with baking soda. The actual compartments don’t shut by themselves so you need the band to keep it together but haven’t had any spillage issues and you can just use one of the levels if you don’t need to use the second compartment. You can tell the bottom one is much deeper than the top one so bulky veggies don’t fit too well. Overall really great & I absolutely would purchase more.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Let me just say: I have no idea what people are talking about in the reviews.\nI work long hours in retail and I bought one for my boyfriend and I for our lunches. I throw these things in my purse and it doesn't matter what happens to it, it's sturdy. The boxes themselves nestle into each other and the band is so tight that I have no issues keeping it shut. The compartments can be a little small but they are perfect for a quick meal. They do not leak, at all. As you can see, none of the items mixed together and if you spill things on the container it's completely protected.\nHonestly, these were exactly what I was looking for. The food stays separate and neatly tucked away and it doesn't even take up much room in the fridge.\nI hand wash them, though , I'm not sure how well they'd hold up in a dishwasher."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Ok so it’s larger, but it’s still a bento box which is known for helping with portion control, which it does! Nice ADULT size!\nEasy to clean....but the best part is that it’s MICROWAVE SAFE! Like, at work the microwave is an industrial microwave, so the max setting is 6 mins. If it can stand up to that thing, it’s awesome!\nLove it!!!! Easy to just throw in my bag and go. Also, in the pic I packed greens...which the juice will get everywhere but this stayed in the container! When you close it, make sure the pieces are snapped together or else it will spill. The strap is helpful too.\nI just put my hand in the last picture so you can see how big it is and not just food LOL.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "This product is ok, but it does have design flaws. My biggest issues is that the two compartments in the top container are not sealed off from each other when the lid is on, see photo, so when I walk to work items in those compartments can mix. Personally would have liked it if the lids where interchangeable and the containers could be stacked in either order. I never intended to keep liquids in this, but the seals are mediocre at best. Things I do like is the plastic used is solid and sturdy, but it is also pretty light. The larger compartment is wide enough to hold a sandwich, so long as it is not to high of a sandwich. Having the strap is also nice it's not super strong but it is strong enough to keep the container together with the lids on when I walk to work. Providing the utensils is a nice touch, but they can interfere with the stacking ability. I also threw them away by accident since they look similar to the disposable utensils my office keeps on hand."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'We do serious meal prep in our house and we loves these bentgo containers.\nFor classic lunch box: you can fit a large portion of veggies in the bottom and appropriate amounts of protein and carbs in the top. This one is not leak proof so you cannot put sauce items or soups in the bottom. Over all these work well for us. You can fit a large sandwich in the bottom part then fruits and veggies In the top. The top also does well with Greek yogurt. We also love the fact that the fork, spoon, and knife that come with it! These containers are also super easy to clean in hot soapy water even after they sit in my husbands lunch box for hours until he gets from work.\n\nOne of our dressing cups didn’t seal as tight and Bentgo took care of us in 24 hours and sent a replacement. They have amazing customer service!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I was so excited for this - but it came with a broken strap. And it doesn’t stay together without a strap. Don’t waste your money on this.\n\n****edit****\nThe seller contacted me the very next day that I left this review and asked what happened. I explained the strap came broken, and without being asked they offered to replace it for free and sent me a new one. This new one has a strap that is in tact and now it works beautifully! Amazing service from this seller and I DO recommend'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "I'm not a fan of this lunch box. First of all, it's really hard to keep together and definitely not leak-proof. The top has two compartments and the food WILL spill between the two. I hate the strap and would prefer a latch. Once you slide the strap off everything just falls apart. My kids now use it as a bath toy and I have bought something else. Waste of money. I DO love the Bentgo kids lunch boxes, so not all of their products are this bad!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "UPDATED: I would like to amend my initial review. While the review of the product remains the same, the customer service is impeccable. After writing my review I received a full refund of my 3 purchased Bentgo boxes. I also was not asked to return the products, which I would not have minded doing, but it is a hassle. I didn't even ask for a refund and I received a letter and full refund. I am definitely satisfied with that. So my review is amended to say that while this product did not work for me or my husband, it may work better for others and with their customer service I would encourage those who are tempted to buy it and return for a refund if you don't like it.\n\nINITIAL REVIEW: I bought this product for my husband. It fit perfectly in his lunch box and the material seemed to be of good quality for the price, it was also pleasing to the eye. Unfortunately, everything in this doesn't really fit as it is supposed to. I bought 3 of these in hopes that I would have found a great solution for meal prepping his meals. The silverware in the middle have to be places very specifically to fit between the two and even then they are not a firm fit. They merely can be placed into the slots, but they still slide all around. The top that holds the silverware and goes on top of the light grey bottom container does not fit into the bottom container, again it merely sits on top. The same non-fitted top goes on the top dark grey container. Then they give you the flexible strap that goes around the two boxes to hold them all together. Unfortunately, if the strap moves towards one side (which it does since the container is a sleek design) then it almost pops the two containers apart. My husband and I both struggled with all 3 of the Bentgo boxes we got and keeping them all together. Getting the strap on to hold them all together, which is mandatory since without it nothing holds the tops on, often just caused the tops on either top or bottom to come out of place. This unstructured and unfitted design was actually the cause of my husband spilling all of his food all over the ground at work trying to get the strap off so he could heat up his food. It was at this point that he said he wanted me to either throw them away, donate them or return them because he refused to use them. We will instead go back to the normal Tupperware containers."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2015', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Well constructed, nice size for single servings. You won't overeat with the amount you can place in these boxes.\n\nI leave my house at 0415 each morning for base. So I need to pack breakfast AND lunches. This gets pretty cumbersome with a lot of little Rubbermaid containers. The Bentgo, looks to solve at least part of the problem. I might actually buy another one with different color lids for my breakfast and have the other one for lunch. Very neat and compact.\n\nThis is a heavy plastic and rubber lunch box system that comes with plastic fork, spoon and knife. Not sure how durable those will be under daily lunch use but at first glance they look pretty strong. The lids are NOT fully seal-able, so if you put anything juicy or liquid in them it will leak from sloshing or tipping. Make sure you keep sauces and such to a minimum.\n\nI have a large lunch bucket that I put two ice-packs in. This will sit on top of them perfectly. See attached photo for details. In addition I can add my breakfast containers, my fruits and other healthy items I snack on during the day."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I bought this to have a space-efficient way to carry my lunches at work, and I was not disappointed! I knew it had to be about the size that it is because I use a Jansport Half Pint backpack for work (I don't need to carry much, usually just lunch, water, my phone and ID), and this Bentgo box fits perfectly. I was really surprised to have it fit so well next to my 32 oz. Hydroflask in the main compartment, so now I have a great way to take lunch to work. Thank goodness, because I was seriously nickel-and-dime-ing myself buying lunch in the employee lounge.\n\nLiterally the only complaint I have about this is that there is a little mixing in the top compartments if I don't pack it right, due to a gap between the center wall and the lid. Not a huge issue unless you *really* hate your grapes mixing with your peanut butter stuffed pretzels (for example); I just use a paper towel to keep one or the other from wandering across the compartments. Otherwise, I would recommend this container to anyone of any age who needs one."}]
