5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT for kids or adults December 28, 2008

This isn't just for kids. This little Bento is wonderful. Sure, my kids like it. But I have one for me, too. I have the large size for family trips, but for a lunch for one, unless you eat like a horse, this one is perfect. I put rice and some veggies in the top one - and it holds more than enough, and then I put fruit and snacks in the bottom one. Now it's not insulated, and I don't like my food hot- so I just stick it in the fridge (or not- since there's no meat in my food). If you want insulated go with the Mr or Ms Bento (which I also have, and recommend highly), or go with an insulated food jar - which I use for my son's soups.

These hold up well in the wash- you can put them in the dishwasher. I love the colors, and I feel like like their "cuteness" makes my girls less resistant to taking their healthy lunches.

Edit- I've been using these for a little over a year now, and they still look new. I think I get more compliments on these than I do on anything else we own. I've taken to using sushi grass and plastic silicone baking cups (regular size and mini) as well as bento accessories (like the tiny sauce containers) to make this container more versatile. I can put some sliced tea sandwiches in the bottom, and then put in olives, cous cous, potato salad, fruit or tomatoes in little silicone muffin cups, and it keeps everything separated, and looks quite attractive too. I can put dates in the cups, or cookies, and keep them separate from whatever I've put in the top, too. I've got a few pictures of how I use this bento on my food blog-

hmmm- it won't let me add a link. So if you want to see the pictures of this and other Amazon lunch containers full of various lunches, google "A year of lunches"- my sopressata roll up was the first link that came up for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly sized. April 30, 2009

I bought two of these, this and one in the green/blue color and also bought two of the square three-layer Vivo containers.

I was very suprised at the large size of the square ones, they will hold 4488 ml and are way too large for a lunch container unless you're feeding two people and packing one layer completely full of green salad.(picnic lunch or portable romantic dinner for two comes to mind)

This one is perfectly sized. It will hold 977ml so it's an ideal size for a man's bento style lunch, and filled to 2/3 capacity it works for a woman too. The metal carrier is sturdy and secure yet it's easy to open and close. The containers fit together much better than the square ones, but they are not watertight and wouldn't contain even a thick chili.

The only other problem is that they're made of melamine and so are not safe for microwave use. That's the reason for 4 stars instead of 5.
They are very brightly colored and attractive containers. I would buy more if they offered the grey/white and red/tan combinations. These are colored nicely for a woman or child, but a little too cutesy for a man.

For anyone who's interested, the metal carrier and the melamine bowls are made in Thailand. It would be nice if Amazon would include the country of origin in the description, but since they don't, I've added it here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spiffy tiffin! March 15, 2009

By tothejenthpower

I love this lunchbox!

When I ordered it, I was a little nervous about the "kids" description: I was afraid it would be tiny. Not the case! It holds more than enough for my lunch, and I'm not an especially light eater. In fact, my initial hesitation over the size of the thing is what prompted me to review it.

The only downside to this tiffin is the fact that there's no sort of partition in either of the bowls. However, I remedied this by picking up some Wilton silicone dipping bowls (in hot pink, natch) so I can keep little amounts of snacks separated. I'd imagine that jumbo-sized silicone baking cups would work beautifully (and yes, jumbo-sized - the bowls are pretty deep, about 2").

I also tend to stack the bowls differently and put the orange one on top, but that's just me. I think it looks nicer that way. Admittedly, though, I'm a wee bit obsessive.

Definitely 5 stars, though. I really do love this and would highly recommend it.
