Bento "Jr." works great for my 11 year oldNov 28, 2007
By M.B.

I bought this for my eleven year old daughter because we are frequently on the road with her sporting activities and I'm always looking for healthier - and cheaper - althernatives to fast food. It's a beautifully designed set with containers just the right size for her. Today we packed chili in one, macaroni & cheese in another and pineapple chunks in the third one. The chili stayed hot for four hours, even out in the cold car. It's pricey for a lunch box but it works.

Very well-designed productFeb 24, 2008
By R. Wilson
This lunchbox set is very well designed; the thermal unit is not bulky or heavy at all, yet has great heat retention capacity. The additional (non-thermal) containers allow you to keep two other items in the lunchbox (bag, really), and the entire lunchbox is compact enough to fit into a small backpack. I noticed that one reviewer complained that the capacity of the thermal unit was too small to be useful; you can fill it with 16 ounces of soup or stew, and if you're used to eating more than that for lunch, well . . . .

 Does the jobMar 19, 2008
By A Mates
I got this to encourage myself to eat more veggies, so I aim to fill the side dishes with veggies although occasionally cookies or cheese find their way there. I'm Chinese so the insulated area often has rice and stir fry and I find the quantity to be quite good for me. Sometimes, I sub out one of the side dishes for an apple. I got this over one of the bigger, taller boxes because the profile fits in the bottom of my backpack better.
Pros--
Don't need to hunt down a microwave
Encourages more veggie eating
Place to pack utensils so that they don't get dirty in my backpack
Good size for me
Looks cute
Cons--
Microwaving a side dish with its lid on will deform the lid
The bag looks like it will stain and when it does I'm not sure how I will clean it
Strap has to snap apart to get the containers out.

My Daughter Loves itOct 09, 2008
By U. Gardner
Amazon had it delivered overnight via Amazon Prime. My wife checked out the heat retention for the main container and it kept soup hot all day.
My daughter took lunch to school Monday in it and completely enjoyed her hot lunch. Since they don't stack above the heated container, the sides were cool. She's been happy since and that make Dad happy.

A warm, healthful, eco-friendly lunch for your kids with this bento-style kitDec 05, 2008
By L. Cleary
I searched high and low for an attractive and well-made lunch kit that would allow me to pack a warm school lunch for my kids, ages 5 and 8. This compact Zojirushi bento-style lunch kit does the job. Plus, it makes lunch fun for them. The stainless sleeve keeps the contents of the plastic container warm, and the serving size is perfect for kids ages 4-9. This larger plastic container is microwave safe; that is, it won't melt in the microwave it you choose to heat your food in it. Zojirushi could not tell me whether their plastic was petroleum-based; if so, heating it could leach chemicals into the food. So I microwave food in glass containers and then transfer to the large plastic one that nests in a stainless sleeve. The two smaller containers are perfect for side dishes of fruit, rice, crackers--you name it. The kit comes with a nice set of chopsticks in a plastic case, but I replaced those with kid cutlery that stores in a toothbrush case. The compact cloth bag with drawstring tie and carry handle is big enough to hold the containers, cutlery, a granola bar or cookies, and a juice or milk box. (But the bag isn't big enough to hold a water bottle.) One cool feature my kids don't use: when the containers are empty, they nest inside each other, and the bag collapses to half its original size. Maybe they'll master that trick next year. My kids have been using these lunch kits for warm foods since September and love them. Definitely on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for. I imagine these kits will last for several years.
