4.0 out of 5 stars Not perfect, but much better than alternatives, August 23, 2007

Part of the purpose of this product is to fit a hole in the food carrying market. As a constant lunch packer, I was sick of having to take 5 containers with me to bring my lunch, plus an ice pack. The containers I had, though good for storage in the fridge, were not really travel containers either - so I'd have to be constantly vigilant about not letting them tip or tumble.

The Fit & Fresh container did away with some of the mess and hassle of bringing a packed lunch. Not only does it all neatly fit together, but if I want to pack something a bit messy (like yogurt), I can easily seal it in the little container, which will then be sealed in the bigger container, which, even when flipped around, does not leak. The built in ice pack is incredibly handy. I also found the container sizes to be too big for me (I'm 5'2" and a light eater - I graze all day basically) so I started packing my lunch and snack in it to save even more bringing food to work hassles.

This product isn't perfect though. As others have mentioned, the top lid is thin and warps. Even just washing my lid in hot water by hand it warped a bit. But it hasn't stopped me from being able to snap it back into place on the container. A sturdier lid would be nice, especially considering part of the appeal of the product is keeping your food temperature stable. Still, I'm much happier using this container than I was prior to having it. It has eliminated a lot of packing my lunch hassle, allows me to not worry so much if I can't get my food right to the fridge when I get to work, and has allowed me to monitor my portion control more closely. My only complaint really is I wish the plastics used were a bit thicker and sturdier. Using some TLC, and hand washing, my Fit & Fresh hasn't broken, or leaked, and I would definitely try out other Fit & Fresh products based on my experience with this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but a small design flaw, September 4, 2007

I bought two of these containers for my kids to take lunches to school. The size is perfect for my middle school and high school age children. The one design flaw is that once the freezer pack is frozen it has expanded just enough to make it impossible for the lid on the larger container to fit tightly once the smaller containers are in place. I wonder if this is not the real problem of the people who have commented about warped lids not fitting.

I packed my daughter's lunch this morning, the first day of school, and could not fit the lid on with everything in it. So I tested a couple of things out and found that the lid fit tightly without the small containers in it but with the freezer pack. The lid also fit tightly with the small containers and an unfrozen freezer pack.

My solution will be to either use a rubber band to keep the top on or make a small strap with velcro to wrap around the container to keep the top on. I find this very disappointing in a product that I would otherwise like very much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adorable and Functional, February 27, 2007

I bought this item at an Albertson for $7.99. I was so excited to find it there since I had seen it online. I love it. It's design is clean yet functional. I packed my lunch and when I got to school it was still cold. Its great that I don't have to carry separate containers because there is 2 small containers within the big one. I even got compliments from my friends at school. The proportion size is just perfect...not so big that you can't even place it in a bag and not so small that you are still hungry. I recommend the veggie bowl and salad shaker as well.
