Bentgo Modern - Leak-Resistant Bento Lunch Box For Adults, Teens, & Larger Appetites; Reusable BPA-Free Meal Prep Container with 3 or 4 Compartments, Dishwasher/Microwave Safe; 44oz (Dark Gray)

I decided to spend the extra money this school year and get these for my high school boys who need to bring a lot of food to school because they have after school practices. This is a significant upgrade to what we were using before in that these hold much more food securely. They are heavy and large, which is something to consider when buying these. I included photos of a common type/size of lunch bag the kids use today so you can see that these do fit in here and the lid closes. You cannot fit a drink in the main bag part with the Bentgo box, however, this type of bag has a bottom part that zips open and can hold a drink along with a zip front pouch and back mesh pocket for snacks etc. So this will work for us. Just make sure you measure your lunch bag/box if you have to carry this size Modern Bentgo. Inside the box you have a large compartment on the left that has a removable divider so you can use the entire space if you need to. The right side does not have a removable divider. The box easily snaps shut and feels extremely durable, like it will last for many years. Overall, for the hefty price, I believe if you are looking for something that will last, need to pack a big lunch for teen boys/others, and need to eliminate the headache of using other containers that leak or are cheap plastic, this is a great investment! The company has an amazing hassle free warranty, exchange, and customer service program with an email and phone contact for support along with a one year extended warranty on this product. It is also very gift-able, in that it comes in a nice sturdy box with a handle on it. 6/25/2024 review update: I had to use the customer service support via email on the company website and can report that they do stand behind the product. I received a free replacement due to the hinges breaking on the box. The hinges will definitely break on these if you open them and put stress on it. I was washing them by hand and laying them open upside down to dry. This was putting too much tension on the hinges and it did not take too much for them to break. Unfortunately, the plastic hinges once broken cannot be repaired, rendering the lid and box useless. So my advice for washing is to hand wash and air dry with lid open but not upside down. Make sure anyone using a box knows not to put stress on the hinges of the lid. Once it breaks, you cannot repair it yourself as the hinges are plastic. A redesign of the lid which makes the hinges more durable or even replaceable somehow would make this product much more appealing given the product is pretty costly. You want the product to last. Given that the company is replacing them if they break, I still can recommend them. It was really fast how the company responded and I had my replacement within a week.

Perfect size for a growing boy and appears to be very durable. Easy to clean. Simple. Good price. Nice color. Keeps food warm.

I absolutely love this lunchbox! It’s the perfect size, keeps my food fresh, and is super easy to clean. The design is stylish and practical, definitely a great purchase. Highly recommend!!

So I am on my second version of this lunchbox. The first one lasted quite some time until I handed it down to my son. Didn't last more than a month.I ordered another one thinking it was just because my first one was getting a little old. Well, to my surprise they completely updated the hinge system and it's no longer a small, two little nub system. They have made it a larger tab and even added a small, metal rod for support.So if you were on the fence about this due to reports of the hinge breaking. Have no fear. An update was made and it is much more sturdy than before. And none of mine have ever leaked. I've had mine sideways in a laptop bag with oil and vinegar dressing and never experienced a leak.Overall a great product. Docked it one star because of the prior poor hinge design.

I bought three for my kids lunches. I wasn’t sure I’d like have the compartments but it ended up making lunches much easier, not having to find multiple containers that are the right size. They were fairly heavy especially for kids in already heavy backpacks. And after using them daily for school, none of them lasted more than 8 months, the hinge eventually breaking, and you have to be careful that the rubber seal doesn’t get moldy. So while I did like them, I’m not sure it was worth it for the price.

Great product and sturdy build

The Bentgo® Modern 4-Compartment Bento-Style Lunch Box has become a favorite in my household, loved by both my kids and me. Its versatility and leak-resistant design make it a practical and stylish choice for packing lunches on the go. However, the only drawback we faced was the loss of some compartment pieces.First and foremost, the lunch box's design is fantastic. The 4-compartment layout allows for easy portioning of different foods, making it ideal for creating well-balanced and nutritious meals. The leak-resistant feature ensures that we can confidently pack sauces, dressings, or juicy fruits without worrying about spills.The lunch box's durable construction holds up well against daily use and the occasional drop or bump. It has been a reliable companion for my kids at school and for my own work lunches.One minor issue we faced was losing some of the compartment pieces over time. While the main lunch box itself remains intact, the smaller compartments that help organize the food have somehow gone missing. Unfortunately, it's challenging to find replacement parts or extra compartments for this specific lunch box model.To address this issue, I reached out to Bentgo's customer service for assistance in finding replacement parts, but the availability of spare parts seems limited. It would be helpful if Bentgo offered an option to purchase extra compartment pieces separately, as it would significantly extend the life of the lunch box and add to its value.Despite the setback with the missing pieces, the Bentgo® Modern 4-Compartment Bento-Style Lunch Box remains a hit in our household. Its overall functionality and leak-resistant design make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to pack meals conveniently and stylishly. However, I advise being mindful of the smaller compartment pieces to ensure they stay intact for long-term use.Pros:Versatile 4-compartment design for well-balanced mealsLeak-resistant feature for worry-free packingDurable construction for everyday useCons:Loss of smaller compartment pieces over timeLimited availability of replacement partsOverall, the Bentgo® Modern 4-Compartment Bento-Style Lunch Box is a highly recommended choice for packing meals.
