2.0 out of 5 stars great concept, but not great product January 1, 2011

I just had to have this bento box when my two boys had to start bringing lunch to school. I saw it in a few magazines and it got rave reviews. Unfortunately, it just doesn't fit my needs and a plain old insulated lunch box is much more practical. Unfortunatly it is an awkward size and doesen't even fit in any of my lunch boxes but I'm still glad I didn't buy the version that came with an insulated case because that would probably end up collecting dust on my shelf too. I don't consider the product to be made very well either (the lids of the small containers are very difficult to get on and off becuase the plastic is too rigid). And why they would include containers that don't even have lids is beyond me. They are useless. I much prefer the re-usable Glad containers becuase you can see what is inside too.

Trying to stop the habit of buying baggies for lunches. Decided to try the Laptop bento after reading lots of reviews. When I showed it to my son and told him I wanted to reduce the use of plastic - his response was "but isn't this made of plastic?". While I like the look of it - it is 'cool' and how it keeps foods in small individual compartments (less wasted food at lunch for sure), I do not think the outer container will last a full school year. With the constant opening and closing I anticipate the lid breaking off after several months of use. For this reason, once it does come off and time to replace - I will probably go with a stainless steel bento system instead.

I loved the Laptop Lunch Bento Set that I had (first version, 1.0). I expected pretty much the same with version 2.0 except that there would be one more lid for one of the containers. Pretty much true, and having the second lidded container is v handy. The only BIG problem is that now the lids are very hard to get on and off of the boxes! I could hardly get one of them on myself, how is my 6 year old supposed to put the lid back on after she's eaten her fruit salad, but juices are left? She can't, of course. So now we have the juice or salad dressing or whatever getting all over the inside of the lunch box when it comes home. It makes it a pain to clean, but moreover, ruins any leftover food that I might have been able to have her finish off for a snack. I hate to waste. So, I try to use my 1.0 set as much as possible. It's a shame because it is an otherwise good product.
