Metal Lunch Box
Great size, perfect for young kids lunches. We hand-wash them. Would be even better if it came with another small silicone box for the inside, but we found one that fits.

It’s a total waste of money
I wish I could give less than 1star, I ordered this box for my daughter received it. I used it a couple of times and later the lid couldn’t be closed and locked. I spent a 50$ for a lunch box which is just lying in my cabinet unused.

Prefer the old clips!
Not a dealbreaker, but I prefer the older version of this lunchbox that had the clips attached to the bottom of the tray. It felt easier to close the lid and then pop the clips up to secure the lid instead of the clips flapping in the way of closing the lid. We were very happy with the durability of the lunchbox we are finally replacing after 4+ years of daily, rough ki...

Outer paint doesn't hold up well
We bought two of these back in August and after mostly hand washing and a couple of trips through the dishwasher most of the top paint perimeter is chipping off. It still seals up really well though so that is a plus. It just thinks that it's so expensive and has not even made it half the school year. One of my kids only goes to school 2 days a week too!

Color Peeling
Super disappointed. We love these lunch boxes, they’re exactly what I was looking for, but they are not cheap. On a low income, I had to save up to buy these for my 3 school-aged kids. Only half way into the school year and my daughter’s lunch box is already losing its color! I usually hand wash them, but since they said they were dishwasher safe I’ve put them in there ...

Durable but would be cautious about dishwasher use
Love the color of the box, it is exactly what my child wanted. The only hang up I have is that it states its dishwasher safe but the coloring is already bubbling and pealing off. I have only put it on the top rack and we’ve used it an handful of times. Otherwise the base is very durable and hopefully will last for a long time.

I absolutely love this stainless steel Bentgo lunch box. It’s incredibly durable and feels very high quality — perfect for daily use. The stainless steel design is sturdy and doesn’t retain odors like plastic containers do. Best of all, it’s dishwasher safe, which makes cleanup effortless. The compartments are well designed and keep food separated without leaking. This ...

Issues to fix
Love the stainless and the silicon top. However, the lid clips and anchor points are somewhat bulky. They make it difficult to add into my child backpack. Also, there is not handle to carry outside of backpack. a simply stainless steel handle would make this product complete.

Do NOT Wash on Lower Dishwasher Rack !!
Beware - These are only dishwasher safe on the upper rack. If you wash them on the lower rack then the paint will peel off. If you stick a name tag on them, even with low adhesion magic tape and then pull it off again, the paint will come off too. These metal lunch boxes are way too expensive to have the paint peel off this easily. It's also sometimes difficult to close...

Dear Spuddy,
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback on the Bentgo Kids Stainless Steel Lunch Box. We are very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with the paint peeling and the difficulty your younger children are having with the closure.
We sincerely apologize that the paint has peeled from your lunch box. You are correct that the lunch box is designed to be top-rack dishwasher safe for convenience, and we understand your frustration that washing it on the lower rack caused damage. We also appreciate you bringing up the issue with name tags and the closure, as this is valuable feedback for our product team.
For the best long-term care, and as mentioned on our website, the box is top-rack dishwasher safe and hand washing is recommended to preserve the leak-resistant seal and locking clips.
If you would like to discuss this further or explore options, please contact our customer support team directly at [email protected] or 657-275-3738.
Thank you,
Jessica

Fine but pops open easily
We just got this and it's roomy and sleek, it generally does an ok job.... but our daughter is reporting that the clasps will often pop open if she drops or bumps her backpack. Maybe it's because we're "overpacking it" but the only thing we've packed that's too wide for the depth of the box has been a hardboiled egg. That give you an idea of the room on this thing.

Hi Soap2030,
Thank you for taking the time to share your Bentgo Kids Stainless Steel Lunch Box experience. We’re glad to hear you love the size and design of the lunchbox, but we’re sorry to learn about the issue with a soapy taste after washing.
Sometimes dishwashing detergents can leave residue in silicone components or tight-seal areas, which may cause lingering taste or odor. We’d love to help you resolve this. A simple deep-clean method or replacement of the affected parts may quickly fix it so your little one can enjoy their lunches again.
Please reach out to us at [email protected] or 714-668-0300, and our team will be happy to assist you right away.
Thank you,

Nice Lunchbox, But Not for Young Kids
Disappointed in this, especially for the price. It looks as expected, but is far too difficult for a pre-schooler or kindergartener to easily open or close. And it doesn’t easily fit in a standard kids lunchbox (my fault for not measuring the inside of the box). We have two of different sizes and it’s too big for both. I should have kept the packaging and returned.

Is It Really Dishwasher Safe?
While I love the functionality, stainless steel, and the size of this box, I question its durability long term. I typically hand wash it, but have washed it in the dishwasher twice. It’s marketed as being dishwasher safe but does recommend hand washing. We’re so early into the school year and I’ve already noticed chips in the purple coloring on the top of the box after ...
