Replacement parts?
Great product!
My only question is how do I buy a replacement divider? My kid accidentally threw it out at school.

Best box, wish replacement parts were sold
I love these they’re so good but we keep losing the plastic plug. It would be so great if they were sold separately. Meantime we’ve just ordered another one.

Sleek
I love the look of the Bentgo MicroSteel Lunch Box, but I was disappointed that the paint chipped right when I removed the warning label. Other than that, it has a nice design and seems well-made.

Difficult to open
This microwave steel lunchbox is great, but is very difficult to open. My second grader always has to ask for help, and it takes me a couple tries. I was hoping it would get easier over time (even for me), but it hasn't, so I'll need to find an alternative for school.

Not microwave safe. Not dishwasher safe
This is not microwave safe. I purchased this a little over half a year ago and have used it less than 20 times. I I followed all the directions for care. There was film peeling [annoying given the price but tolerable] but I specifically bought this because the base was labeled as microwave safe. In less than 10 seconds of microwave at the normal setting, it sparked wi...

Defective product - not dishwasher safe
This would be a good product of the plastic coating did not flake off. If you read the reviews, you will see that the product is defective. Either they need to find a new coating (why does plain stainless even need a coating) or make it clear it is not dishwasher safe because it is obviously not.

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.

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

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.
