- Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2024Color: BlueStyle: JarVerified PurchaseI travel a lot for work, and it's not always easy or convenient to buy lunch somewhere. I heat up food in the morning, pop it in my thermos, and when lunchtime comes around, it's hot and ready and delicious. This size fits easily into a backpack, and the included spoon is a game changer. My thermos goes everywhere with me. I've dropped it onto the street multiple times, and it's only gotten mildly scratched. It's saved me money, time, and frustration. I've done soups, casseroles, red beans and rice, curries, and it's all been great. I cannot recommend this thermos enough.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2016Color: BlueStyle: JarVerified PurchaseThis has been my favorite of all the hot lunch travel containers. I purchased two of this product, as well as two each of the 24 oz container and the 10 oz container. It has kept foods warm for 9 hours so far, with the best results being soups and other mainly liquid based items. My husband and I have both been using these containers most weekdays for the last 3 months and have had no issues. We both live and work in a city and rely on public transportation to get around, so our bags get tossed around and smushed, but absolutely no leaks thus far with this or the 24 oz version.
This is the perfect amount of food for me, but it's a little too small for my husband, who prefers the 24 oz container.
PROS:
Does as advertised and keeps food hot for hours
Durable construction
Easy to clean (see cleaning tips for more info)
Completely leak proof!!
CONS:
"footprint" is slightly large considering the size
Spoon is useful but harder to clean because it folds (I put it through the dishwasher)
Must be careful to not over tighten the lid while food is hot or it's hard to open later
HOW TO USE:
Either heat water in the microwave or if you have very hot tap water, fill the container with heated water
Cap using the inner screwtop lid
Wait 10-15 minutes, using this time to heat up whatever you'll want to eat for lunch
Pour out water and fill with food
Close inner lid (be careful how tight you screw the lid on, as it cools slightly this makes it hard to open)
Wait until lunch and eat hot to warm food depending on how long it's been
CLEANING:
You'll notice in the detailed picture that there is a clear silicon seal around the inner lid. Others have noted that they can't get this clean and mold grows. I slip this ring off and clean all parts separately, by hand, then allow them to air dry. Even with near daily use they still work wonderfully! If anything, I'm thinking about purchasing a few more because I'm lazy and wouldn't mind having one I could bring additional cold items in.
PHOTO DESCRIPTION:
The first photo is a comparison of each of the three models I've purchased. You'll see a size comparison between an iPhone 4 and an Amazon Kindle (and a Border Collie leering in the background).
The second photo is all the components with the same scale reference of an iPhone 4. These are the parts from TWO containers so I could so all the different aspects and parts at the same time.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2021Color: BlueStyle: JarVerified PurchaseLet me start by saying I purchased this container November 2010 (per Amazon) and with moderate to heavy use in the winter months, this Thermos has had no issues with leaks, cracks, peeling, altitude, or keeping foods hot or cold. This was my go-to container for the winter months to keep stews and soups hot until lunchtime and it has never let me down! It seals well keeping in heat and cold. I would make a large batch on the weekend and microwave enough to fill the container each morning after its hot water soak. I would leave home at 6:00 and eat lunch between 1 & 2:30 pm and my meal was still hot! Not steamy hot, but hot. Now that I’m home full time, I have found a better use for the wide opening and its ability to keep cold-things-cold. It’s perfect for my Dachshunds or any small dog as a portable water bowl! It’s definitely a step up from the collapsible water bowl and the best part? Since Rusty likes ice water, the opening is large enough to accommodate full size ice cubes in his water! Its compact size & weight makes it perfect for my drawstring sportspack and its easy to refill at a fountain should you need. The foldable spoon is a nice touch and wish I hadn’t lost mine, but it is what it is. I haven’t tested the hot or cold for the number of hours it claims, but it is nice to know that I have time on the clock. Overall, a smart looking thermos which is durable and does it job well! Like a fine bottle of wine, the Thermos brand has been around since the early 1900s and has only gotten better with its products and time. Highly recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2024Color: BlueStyle: JarVerified PurchaseAfter I use it for many years , Its insulation effect is still very good.I use it almost everyday for kids lunch. It keeps all food warm till lunch, is easy to clean and fits perfectly in my daughter’s lunch box!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2016Color: Matte BlackStyle: JarVerified PurchaseThis thermos is easy to clean, doesn't break easily like the old glass-lined thermoses, and is easy to pack. It really does keep the food warm for several hours. I pack my son's school lunch at about 7 a.m. and when he eats at 12 or 12:30, it's still hot.
It comes with a convenient spoon that folds and fits under the lid. However, the spoon is so shallow that you really can't eat soup with it.
Also, be aware that this does NOT hold a lot of food. It can hold exactly ONE can of Progresso soup, filled to the very brim of the thermos. Something to keep in mind. I wanted a larger, wider-mouthed thermos, but there really weren't any. The next size up is taller but not wider, so it would make it too hard to get to the bottom of the thermos with a spoon or fork, and pouring into the lid is messy-- especially when the lid is rather small. So I opted for a smaller thermos so he could actually reach the bottom. But I'm having to send along extra food items to make up for the lack of capacity of this thermos. Why can't they make a wider, shallower thermos?
I would give this 5 stars for quality; I took off a star because of the limited functionality of the spoon, which was one reason I had ordered this model.

HORACIO B.Reviewed in Mexico on December 16, 20205.0 out of 5 stars Excelente diseño, práctico, funcional y resistente
Color: BlueStyle: JarVerified PurchaseEl diseño es muy bueno, ya que la cuchara se pliega y se guarda en la tapa. Conserva muy bien los alimentos, frio o caliente, muy práctico y fácil de lavar o limpiar. Para preparar sopas instantáneas de diez minutos, avena, arroz, etc... o llevar smotties u otros alimentos. Muy buena calidad, muy bien construido y diseñado. Para una ración individual y no calentar comida en microondas que es muy dañino. Un truco para que dure más tiempo caliente la comida es echarle primero agua caliente y taparlo unos dos minutos, luego vaciar el agua y echarle el alimento caliente. Para frío no he probado, pero se podría hacer algo similar. El producto que me llego traía una etiqueta de cartón que dice que conserva lo frío por 14 horas y lo caliente por 9 horas..
