 Thermos by Zorjirushi September 8, 2008

I bought this thermos lunch container for my son. He is 10 years old and loves it. It keeps the food hot and he loves having the separate containers for a dessert. Although when you first see the size of each container (there are 4), you would think that there is not enough room to put in a fulfilling lunch. However, the containers are perfect. I use the bottom container for soup or a hot drink, the main container for hot food such as rice and chicken, the third container for salad and the fourth container for a dessert. He loves being the only kid in school with such a unique lunchbox and he also loves not having to wait in line to use the microwave!! This is an excellent product for people of all ages and I highly recommend it.

I started putting my Mr. Bento to use just a few days after receiving it, and I've been very pleased with it with every use. I've used it for work, and it's great for college. As I've followed the instructions and filled the outer container with hot water before I put in soup (and I've always put in soup), the rest of my meal stays hot for the 4 hours it usually has to sit before I can eat it.
The containers are a little small upon first glance, but I was surprised that the first time I packed them all, I was full before I could even finish eating all of the food I'd packed.
All in all, Mr. Bento has already saved me a lot of money, and time that I might have wasted trying to find and wait in line to get a burger. It's also allowed me to eat healthier. It's nice to be able to have a warm meal without having to nuke something up!
Great buy for healthy lunches! September 3, 2008

I too, bought this product because the lunches they serve in the schools these days are a nightmare (chicken nuggets almost every day). My seven year old takes this to school every day and manages it quite well. He enjoys good food, is not picky and prefers my good leftovers from dinner. He has no problems taking this apart and putting it back together again by himself. I microwave the containers of warm food in the morning and they stay warm until his lunchtime with no problems. The only problem we encountered is you cannot put jello in the top container with warm food below or it will be a puddle by lunchtime. This is very minor though. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone who wants to get their child away from the breaded, processed school lunches.

First of all, don't be fooled by its appearance: This is not a Thermos. It will not keep your food warm or cold. For this reason, the instructions say to avoid using it for dairy products, and to consume food withing a few hours.
Second, and perhaps most important, all of the bowls leak. Even the soup bowl, with a screw-on lid and gasket, leaks. The instructions say to always keep Mr. Bento perfectly upright. Try doing that in your car on your commute to work. It's impossible.
In practice, the only thing Mr. Bento is good for arranging your food in pretty ways, so that you can post photos on Flickr. That's not very practical when your yogurt is spoiled not to mention spilled all over the inside of the container. I've since gone back to using a couple of $1 food containers, which at least don't leak. Also, when I put them in the fridge at work, my coworkers don't constantly ask me why I'm taking up valuable fridge space with a Thermos.

I really like Mr. Bento. Yes it takes a little bit of effort to make sure its clean but its a great way to be creative with your lunches and it holds a good amount of food. Since I have started my new job in the hospital, good healthy food fast(believe it or not) is hard to come by. When you are taking care of patients, you don't have time to go down and get your lunch. Mr. Bento saves the day by allowing me to pack what i want and I can eat my lunch without fear of it spoiling. It also allows me to eat multiple small meals during the day which is important for me since I do not have a scheduled lunch hour. The little containers make it easy for me to pack a snack, an appetizer, and main course. Many of my co-workers loved my mr. bento when they first saw it because of its clever design and have in turn purchased their own. I have turned my workplace into a Mr. Bento paradise! Mr. Bento has saved me so much money and unnecessary calories by letting me pack a lunch that is healthy, well rounded and delicious because I cooked it myself. If you have motivation and are organized- GET THE BENTO. =)
