Great Lunch Tote!, July 5, 2007
This review is from: BUILT Gourmet Getaway Lunch Tote (Kitchen)
I've had this product for about a month and it's been great! It arrived in the projected time frame and I use it about twice a week. There's plenty of room: I've fit bowl-sized tupperware, a travel mug, a 14oz water bottle, and yogurt all in there at once (it was a little tight but it zipped up alright thanks to the stretchy neoprene).
It insulates a little, although not as much as some other lunch carriers. I don't have a fridge at work, and it's summertime. While the food doesn't really stay cold, it doesn't get warm before I eat it. Since the bag is soft, if you put the tote in a backpack or something, your food might end up a little squished (but it is nice to be able to fold it up and put it in your bag once it's empty).
The only thing I had a problem with was the fact that it was actually so big--it's rather cumbersome when you just need to bring a sandwich and a yogurt cup. So, I'm thinking of getting Built's smaller LB Lunch Tote. Their products are definitely high-quality and worth spending a little more; I'd definitely buy from them again.
Oh, the last thing, which heavily influenced which kind of lunch tote I got: it is fun and fashionable! The polka dot pattern is adorably whimsical. The colors are more vivid in real life than in the pictures.

I love this bag..., November 19, 2007
This review is from: BUILT Gourmet Getaway Lunch Tote (Kitchen)
I bought this bag in the dot pattern and absolutely love it. It is so spacious. I took 3 bowls of soup to work in it the other day (some for co-workers). One of the bowls leaked out into the bag. I was so upset, but I took it into the bathroom, turned it inside out, and scrubbed it with hand soap. It looks like new again. I can't say enough good things about it. It's wonderful that it is washable, because those accidents are going to happen. It looks black with multi-colored dots in the photo, but it is actually brown with multi-colored dots. I like the brown better anyway. I have even gotten a few compliments on it. I'm thinking about getting my hubby the black or camouflage one for Christmas, just because the thing is so nice=) If you're thinking about getting one, GO FOR IT!!!

Stylish, but insulation could be better, February 11, 2010
This Built lunch tote is very attractive and stylish. I have the micro dot pattern and I think it is gorgeous. The material is durable, stretchy neoprene and it sports a tough, high quality zipper.
I got the Built lunch tote as a gift; and at first I thought it was a sleeve for my netbook, because it was so flat. Looks can be deceiving. The bottom opens up wide. It's so wide, I can sit my plastic containers in it upright. This wide bottom makes the bag very roomy.
The only drawback is the Built tote is not as insulating as my other lunch bags. I can put in an ice pack with my lunch and it's cold a few hours later when I open it, but it doesn't keep much longer than that. If you need your food very cold for more than a few hours, I'd pick a different lunch bag. Some of my other lunch bags can keep an ice pack frozen and the whole bag cold for the entire day -- not this one.
