mold in lid
This lunch box is very difficult to clean.the lid has mold and I have tried bleach and many soaps and scrubbed throughly. It will not go away. Keep in mind we thoroughly wash it as soon as it comes home from school and the mold appeared while being stored for vacation.

Please make extra trays and lids!
My kids love the original bentgo chill box but their growing appetites made us really excited to try this larger version. The chill max is as great as the original with a moveable divider bonus. The built in ice pack in the max chill can nest under the ice pack of the chill for efficient freezer space. Hoping you will sell lids and extra trays for the chill max so we ca...

Great for Kids Lunches
The lunchbox stays cold for my sons lunch and seals really well if he takes something like carrots and ranch. And despite it sealing well it is still easy to open for little hands.

Best investment for kids lunch
It’s nifty and cute. It’s durable and the included ice mold for the bottom is amazing. 10/10 recommend and it’s easy to open. My 5 year old loves it.

Gets stuck when trying to open
Good portion sizes and divider, but it is difficult to open and close. It gets stuck trying to open it.

Hi Heather Vaughn, Thank you for your feedback on the Bentgo Chill Max Lunch Box. We’re glad to hear you like the portion sizes and divider, though we’re sorry to hear it’s been difficult to open and close. Sometimes the tight seal can cause extra suction, especially when the ice pack is in place. If you’d like, our team can also recommend other Bentgo lunch box options that may be a better fit for your needs. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected] or 714-668-0300 for personalized assistance. Thank you, Jessica

Smaller than expected
Its small, even for younger children. I wish the dividers were adjustable or just more space was available, cant fit a 1/2 sandwich

Nice built in ice pack
This was my kids first time using this Bentgo box with chill pack. I’ve always used the standard one. I really like the built in ice pack. It’s a little difficult opening and closing the lunch container the reason for 3 stars. But overall we like it. And I like the compartments it has in this one. I will probably purchase more for my other two kids in the future.

Food mixes
My daughter complains about the food mixing together from the compartments. We didn't have this problem with the non chill lunch containers. I also noticed these are harder to seal shut.

Response from Staples :
Hi Rlbpf, Thank you for your feedback on the Bentgo Chill Kids Lunch Box. We’re sorry to hear about the difficulty sealing the box and the food mixing between compartments. The built-in dividers are designed to keep dry foods separated, but they aren’t leakproof against liquids or thinner textures, which may explain what you’re experiencing. Since you mentioned having a better experience with the non-chill lunch containers, we’d be happy to recommend another Bentgo lunch box option that may be better suited to your daughter’s needs while still keeping foods organized and secure. Please reach out to us at [email protected] or 714-668-0300, and we’ll help you find the best fit. We appreciate you sharing your experience—it helps us continue improving our products! Thank you, Jessica

Less than
I bought several of the Bentgo with the chill and without. They leak but it claims that it doesn’t leak. The food does not stay in the individual compartments. If the bentgo is in your lunch box and stands vertical the food will get mixed. Most lunch bag have the be tho vertical. I have not tried the snap and go but it does not have a chill.

Hi Juliette 1227, Thank you for sharing your experience with the Bentgo Chill Kids Lunch Box and thank you for being a loyal customer! We’re sorry to hear about the leaking and food mixing when stored vertically—that’s certainly not the experience we want for you. While the box is designed to be leak-resistant with thicker foods (like yogurt or dips), it performs best when kept flat in a lunch bag. For vertical carry, we’d recommend exploring our Bentgo Kids Snap & Go or the Bentgo Chill Max XL, which may be a better fit for your needs. We’d love to help troubleshoot with you further and make sure you have a lunch box that works the way you need it to. Please reach out to us directly at [email protected] or call us at 714-668-0300—we’re here to help. Thank you, Jessica

First time w/Bentgo!
My daughter started Kindergarten and she liked the bento boxes. I was looking how to keep bento boxes cold and I saw that it had a freezer part. We love it. It’s dishwasher safe and easy to use!

I love this model but be careful with mold
This is the third one that I but, it is excellent size and beautiful model but one day my daughter left it in her backpack for only 2 days and it was so moldy, I tried to wash it several time and I couldn’t removed it so I ended up getting rid of that. It is kind of expensive so be careful with that

Hi Ellie, Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Bentgo Chill Kids Lunch Box. We understand it may feel a bit small for a full lunch and often works best for lighter meals or snacks. If you’re looking for a roomier option, we recommend trying our Bentgo Chill Max XL Lunch Box, which offers more space while keeping food fresh with the same built-in ice pack design. Please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] or 714-668-0300 and we’ll be happy to help find the best fit for your needs. Thank you, Jessica

I love it but only have one concern
I liked it but sometimes the inside container got stuck to the lid and made it where it was hard to open.
