Bits Kits 20803 Stainless Steel 5 Partitions Kids' Bento Box Lunch Snack Container, 5-Sections, Metallic

Update: It has been almost a year and hundreds of washes through the dishwasher. Unlike the other expensive lunchboxes I've bought for my kids over the year this one's still looking exactly as it did the day I bought it: no rust, no scratches or dents. The lid still fits as well as it did originally. The only negative I'll add having used it for many types of lunches is: 1. doesn't fit the standard little sealed containers very well. I finally found a Japanese one that fits but the lid on most of those won't allow it to slide into the compartment and as a result the lid won't close 2. The 2 larger compartments BARELY fit a half sandwich. If you get any kind of artisanal or other bread, chances are you'll have to cut your sandwich down to fit. 3. Certain types of foods seem to react with the metal (like apple slices) and take on a weird metallic flavor. I was not expecting that! Overall, I'm still happy I bought this lunchbox! ------------------------------------------------- I was almost put off by all the negative reviews but found a gently used one here and thought $19 was a small price to pay if it didn't work out. I'm happy to say that the product arrived looking brand new and shiny in the original packaging. It's extremely sturdy and the lid fits nice and snug but is still easy to remove. All the rivets and machined parts are finished very cleanly. You'll have to forgive the photos because I just finished eating my lunch. It packs a full sandwich plus 3 snacks no problem. I'd like to find a small leak proof container for liquids but I'm not paying $40 + for the steel ones I've seen online. What I really like is the modular design and the small footprint. It's also extremely sturdy. I can push down with all my weight on the lid and there is no flex. While I'm using it for my work lunch I'm sure it would be great for hiking and other activities where you'd want a sturdy food container. Overall, I'm really glad I went with my gut and bought this. If I see another "used" one for sale I will definitely be getting some more. I'm just not prepared to pay $80 or more for a new one!

This year she wanted pasta almost every day, so I had to be careful of the sauce, but she loved cute lunches and was more willing to eat real food instead of packaged snacks. Don’t just throw it in a bag, the lid will come off. It fits perfectly into a Thermos lunchbox with a zipper. Or part of the year we tied it in a cloth wrap. Rubber bands would also work if there is nothing drippy. The sections don’t keep liquids contained, which is why we use the little containers for sauce, ranch, or Nutella. Washes well in the dishwasher, but if you leave it submerged in water for several days, you run the risk of rust spots on the section seams, but not as sensitive as canning jar lids. Overall, it’s been a good year, and we plan to use it again next year.

This lunch box is so fabulous I wish I had one years ago. I can tell it will stand up to long term use as I've already washed it multiple times. It helps to easily make a lunch with bits of fruit/veggies/nuts/crackers when you don't have much left in your kitchen.

I love these for school lunches! Sometimes the lids are hard to get off, but it keeps food separated and doesn’t make a mess! I wouldn’t use it for yogurt, but it’s very versatile!

Material is strong but the deciders leak into eachother. If the strawberries are wet they leak into the cheese in the next compartment
