Can't open it.
I can't get the thing open and I'm pretty strong and capable. No directions on the internet!

Works BUT Coating Peels Massively
Great idea - size is perfect, and nice to be able to microwave it. BUT, we have the black container, and t is very worrisome to see so much of the coating peeling! Very concerned about this getting in our food. So definitely do NOT get the colored containers. I'd get this again but will only get the stainless steel.

Great idea, but the color coating peels ruining it
I love the idea, and I love the product. But the color coatings just don't hold up. If they would just make one without the colored coatings on it, it would be perfect. But all the color coatings just start bubbling up and peeling off after a couple uses. Figured I'd try the gray one thinking it didn't have the coating on it, but it does too. So now that's peeling up to...

Good size and material, but a struggle to open
Love the steel and the design, but it does need a little bit of force even with the air valve pulled. Feels like i would spill contents if I put too much force. Could be easier if there was something like a handle to grip on when opening!!

Really difficult to open
I have bought several Bentgo products, and have been really happy with all of them, until I bought this lunch box. It is incredibly difficult to open, almost impossible. My daughter was not able to use it.

Bad design
The lid is too tight to open for a young kid. The box is quite heavy too.

Difficult to open
I bought these for my child’s lunch box. The lid is very difficult to open. It caused the insides to spill out when using force to open. Also don’t like that you have to remove valve, that will definitely get lost

Disappointed

Challenging for Younger Kids to Open Independently
My 8 and 5-year-olds have difficulty opening these containers at school on their own, which has been a bit frustrating. I was hoping for something more user-friendly for younger children.

Paint chipping and difficult to open.
I spent an immense amount of time researching stainless steel boxes for lunches and had settled on Bentgo. However, I should've paid more attention to the reviews that noted how quickly the paint chipped off after just one wash(even the "stainless steel" color - presumably this should not have an extra pigment!). For spending so much money on this item, I would've expec...

Very good, needs extra dividers for sale
I love this thing. I like the satisfying hiss of air as I release the seal and it does a really got job of keeping wet stuff separate from crunchy dry stuff. I just wish they sold extra dividers because I like to sometimes use the divider from my second box to make three compartments.

Not convenient as a glass but stylish
I would give a 4-star rating for this purchase. It is not convenient as a glass container because you can't dishwash/microwave lid/divider - it is always extra work to clean. But it is stylish, looks sturdy and big. Will buy more!

Amazing chef’s kitchen quality
These lunch boxes are phenomenal. All of the microwaveable steel is so impressive. I bought the collection not for portability per se but just to replace all of my food storage with containers with sturdy bins that “sparked joy” to me as aesthetically pleasing and functional in every imaginable capacity. I love that I can use them in the oven, microwave, fridge, freezer...

Difficult to open the lid.
I love the dinner version but I don’t like this one. The lid is very difficult to open & close. The silicone lid is much better.
