I've had this for about a month, and I've used it less than 6 times.
Even though I've carefully handwashed it, and merely wiped off the ice ring, the ice ring has sprung a leak (ewww, blue liquid on my celery!!).
The lid is difficult to snap on/remove.
The center container/lid is really too tall for its diameter, which makes using it for dipping rather awkward.

Although the compartments seem small, you can fit lots of food into this bowl. It's divided into about 4 or 5 sections, so you can separate your veggies, meat, etc. The only thing that bummed me out was the ice pack - the frozen gel expanded on the inside and caused the container to break :( So, I use it to store food in the fridge. I have all of the other Fit & Fresh containers and none of the ice packs on those have broken.

As a mother, grandmother, and author of a book about helping kids learn to love veggies and other healthy foods, I recommend this product. It is the right size for an assortment of cut up veggies like carrots, broccoli, peppers, and cauliflower. The dip goes in the middle. This is a great way to fill kids up on veggies after school, on a trip in the car, on a picnic, after soccer or other activities, or before supper. It can also be used for fruit with yogurt for dipping. Each child can have one and personalize it. The frozen ring that snaps in the top (takes a little practice to get it out -- then it's easy) is useful for snacking away from home. And I love mine for hiking - it is small enough for a day pack.

This is my first Fit & Fresh product. It works fine so far but be careful storing any light dressings in the dressing container as it seems to leak. The heavier ranches are fine but vinegar based dressings leak and can make a mess if the container moves a lot in transport..

I received the Fit & Fresh fruit & veggie bowl as a holiday gift recently and started using it when I returned back to work. I have to say I absolutely love it and it has made my life easier. I am someone who needs to eat 5-6 times a day and this bowl helps me plan healthy snacks.
Pros(9): 4 compartments-three open and 1 separate oval container with a lid for liquid type items/dip. Portion controlled, microwave, fridge & dishwasher safe, all in one design keeps snacks organized, sturdy design. Chiller pack keeps items fresh for 6 hours, chiller pack freezes quickly
Cons (3): Big,I was surprised & was relieved that it just fit in my lunch bag. May not be suitable for those with stiff hands, although the tightness does let up a little with use. May not be suitable for those who want to bring a large entree-I use the separate center container for either yogurt (on days I bring a sandwich) or soup/chili. I don't eat huge lunch portions because I also snack, so others may need a separate container for an entree (or buy the Fit & Fresh lunch on the go container.)
Overall, I credit my new Fit & Fresh fruit/veggie bowl with my better eating habits of late. It makes it very easy to prepare my days' meal & snacks and not overdo it.

I bought two of these and one of them arrived with the ice ring cracked in the center. The company sent me out a new one right away and I was careful with the ice rings since the first one broke during shipping. Only used them about 10 times and the second ice ring broke. The container is great and fits perfectly in the kid's lunchboxes. The inner container is convenient and doesn't leak if you put liquids in it, but don't count on the ice rings. Company doesn't sell ice rings separately so it is back to the ice pack in the lunch bag again.

This item was definitely a good find. It saves me from using several smaller containers. The ice ring is okay - I really have no use for it as I keep the container in a fridge until my lunch time. It could come in handy for summer use - traveling or such. The container is a bit big, though. It won't fit in your standard lunch bag, unfortunately.

I bought this to keep fresh food cold for traveling with my child. It is great. A little big for a diaper bag, but, a great product.

I bought this bowl and used it 3 or 4 times. You know the best part? The center bowl doesn't leak!!! I've had so much trouble taking milk to work for cereal in water bottles because they either leak or I can't get the sour milk smell out of the plastic or they're just way too big for the amount of milk needed.

I love this bowl! I read other reviews complaining about the size of the bowl! Um hello! Part of it's function is portion control!

The only thing I dislike is the snap on spoon. I feel like a 3 year old with a training spoon. It's huge (the actual part you eat from) and the handle is ridiculously cumbersome. Otherwise, this item performs exactly as advertised.

You'll love it!

I bought this item at a local grocery store. It is great for encouraging good eating habits! It is just the right size to keep cut up vegies and dip in the fridge to bring out for each meal.

We like it so much, we are going to buy at least 4 more (one each for hubby and I to take to work, another for cut up fruit at home, and a third for my sister who really likes ours). Unfortunately the store I bought the first one at doesn't have them anymore, so I'm thrilled to find them here on Amazon.
