Lille Home Stackable Stainless Steel Thermal Compartment Lunch/Snack Box, 3-Tier Insulated Bento/Food Container with Lunch Bag, Utensils Set and Three Extra Seals, 43OZ

Perfect for me. I put either salad. Or dry soup, in the bottom portion, I usually put a sandwich, cut into small squares, in the insulated cup in the center cup, and granola, nuts, or grapes with cheese squares in the top, white portion. That third, insulated cup, I put in whatever fun snack I have, like dried pineapple, yogurt with blueberries, or any sliced fruits I have around. Sometimes i just put flavored rice. For me, it is perfect for portion control, healthy snacking (because it is too easy to eat junk while sitting in front of a computer all day), and a light lunch. I purchased the gray with the upgraded gray bag and black carrying strap. I didn't like the felt bag with the colored carrying strap. Plus, the reviews are bad for that one. The upgraded bag is made with a much more durable material, and the straps are strong. Much more eye pleasing also. I have put dried soup in the bottom cup, and heated water at work to make it. I had left over soup and it did not leak when I took it out at home. Not everyone is able to do that in their workplace. I have not put any hot food in yet. I can't attest to if it keeps hot food hot. But, it keeps my yogurt cold. I do not wash it in the dishwasher. It washes quick and easy by hand. I have learned to not screw the top part on overly tight, and have not had any issues opening it since. If a child can be taught not to screw the top on tightly, they could use this, except it may be considered too large for them. They may not like carrying it, and pulling it out at lunch time. Might embarrass them. Depends on the kid. They make these in more kid friendly options. I just ordere a mint green one, with only 2 insulated portions and 2 small, snack portions. It has adorable, white polka dots on the bottom section. It also comes with silverware and the upgraded insulated bag. But, I found her a lunch bag that is mint green with white polka dots also. That way she can take her fruit drink and water also. I purchased cute, bear shaped rice molds, fun shaped sandwich cutters, and cute shaped fruit cutters. We have fun prepping our lunches the night before.My coworkers have complemented mine and one said she is going to get herself one.

Very versatile for picnics and two take friends a meal

The fact that you're required to use the uppermost chamber to use the lunchbox could be better thought our and the lid to the whole thing is my biggest worry. It is the worst made piece of the whole thing. You've got thermal portions and this super thin wonky lid that threads wrong all the time. It's really annoying. That's the only actual problem I have ever had with this. The freaking lid.

I purchased this for my granddaughter who usually likes to bring her own lunch to school. It was a great size and was easy for her to use. The only difficult part is if you are tightening the container to ensure no leakage or to contain the heat/cold, it will be come hard for your child to open it. What I found to work well, if she wanted to bring something hot for lunch, was to boil water in the microwave and put it in the containers and close them. That would pre-warm the containers and when we were ready to pack her lunch we would merely pour out the water and put the food in! Great option for creating portions of food for either your children, grandchildren, or yourself!

I never complain, but this is one of the worst products that I ever bought. I used it for the first time today. I put hot food in the bottom, fruit in the next one up from the bottom, salad in the next one and salad dressing in the top. Everything fit together well and seemed to seel tightly. I kept the container upright for the most part...evidently not the whole time.At lunch I opened the bag, which by the way is hideously ugly, and discovers that the dressing had leak out. So I washed it off as much as I could at work. Then I started to open the it. I started with bottom one, and then opened the one above it with the fruit. I was able to open both with a little effort. The container above that with the salad in it however was a different story. I could not get it open. It was ver awkward and since I had salad dressing in the top one, that had already leaked, I had to be careful. Being at work I had dress clothes. The salad dressing leaked a little more which made it impossible to open without making a huge mess. So I gave up. Then I decided I would just eat the fruit and the hot food on the bottom. Unfortunately the food in the bottom was stone cold. Since it has metal I couldn’t put it in the microwave to heat up. So I had to eat a cold lunch or starve.I thought this would be a nice lunch container, but it was not what I expected at all. I decided to write this review because I wanted to let people know not to waste their money.

I loved the idea of these, I read the reviews and looked at all the options. 1st day I used it fruit juices spilled from the top. 2nd day the handle on the bag broke. I do not eat much the portion size worked well for me. I did not try keeping food warm because of the spill on the first day. I love the option of many different foods. I'm one of those people that like to pick and have options. Great for people that are limited to amount of food you eat at a set time. It is very controlling because the bag fits just the containers no other food. If you need that this would work well for you. I love the fork and spoon no knife okay. Is very easy to clean I love that. Good product just doesn't fit my life. Also you need to have plates at work as bowls doesn't go in the microwave. I have dump it out to warm up food. I will be looking at others. Hope this helps

My daughter has had this product in the wishlist for a while. The food capacity is wonderful storage capacity is amazing the size of it like I said is it beyond my expectations built build quality is fantastic and it had me fooled, I didn’t know it was microwavable until my daughter told me. I actually thought the inside was metal. It’s not it’s made of plastic to look like metal so it’s microwavable how exciting! I recommend this product! I like the color choices too. I think I might get one myself.
