LunchBots Large Cinco Stainless Steel Lunch Container - Five Section Design Holds a Variety of Foods - Metal Bento Box - Dishwasher Safe - Stainless Lid -Pinka Dots

Expensive for a lunchbox, especially when imported to Dubai

Very expensive and very hard to open for a child.

I have bought 2 trios and 2 cinqos but for some reason, one of the trios always requires Herculean strength to open. I thought it is the lid but it’s likely the body itself was not constructed well

This lunch box developed rust after a few days of using, I couldn't return it as I traveled outside UAE and in USA lunch bots team refuse to receive it nor refund

this product has rust built on the dividers. dividers are not good steel since rust it building up which are not good to use especially for kids!

It isn’t rust proof, highly disappointed

Excellent. Saves time doing kids lunches now. Kids are good and secure.

War erst skeptisch, da die Box ja ziemlich teuer ist. Jetzt nach 6 Jahren Gebrauch der Box kann ich aber sagen, dass es sich absolut lohnt. Die Box rostet nicht und läuft bisher auch nicht an. Ich reinige sie immer direkt im Geschirrspüler, das geht super. Zudem läuft nichts aus und das Essen bleibt frisch in der Dose. ABSOLUT TOLL. Kann ich nur empfehlen. Vielen Dank für das Lesen meiner Rezension. Ich hoffe, sie ist nützlich. :)

My son has used this for 3 years. Now my other son is starting in school, and he's getting one as well. Because this thing right here - well - let's just say that I think they'll be the longest lasting object in their school bags. No moving parts, just solid steel. The compartments are welded in. And knowing that it's new 18/8 steel, I can place their food right on the surface with no paper in between. No plastics. And the lids fits exactly on there with precision. It has never fallen off by itself. My 5-year old can open it easily. It cannot handle wet food, but I don't pack wet food anyway. With kids, the fever lids to open and things to unwrap, the better. They just open one lid and everything is right there. The only thing that can destroy this thing is if you take a hammer to it and dent it. My son has a small dent in his, maybe from hitting his schoolbag against something. I expect that he'll still have this when he grows up, and it'll be all dented and scratched up, and I love that. I only wish the logo was smaller or not even there or more timeless looking. I engraved their names and phone numbers in the cases and lids so they'll never get lost at school. So, haha, as you can tell, yes I like this product and would recommend anyone to invest in it. I met a mum in a store who said she was shopping for her son's third lunch box. Plastic of course. Well, just start out right and save money. Look no further. Oh, and we also have the Eco Lunch Box that has a not-so-fitting lid and moving parts. Harder for kids to open. This Lunch Bots is better.

I don't mean to come off preachy but when there are complaints about what an item is not supposed to do anyway...I get quite frustrated. For example the Lunchbot description states this item is for dry foods but there are complaints that people's yogurt leaked. As my kids would say "No Duh" :). Anyway, that being said. ... We LOVE our lunch bots ...we have five( all Large). Two cinco two trio and one Duo. We purchased last August and used just about every day (four kids) during the school year. I have not used the smaller version but my boys are nine eight six and six and each box holds enough food for each boy to fill up at lunch. The boxes have not stained or rusted and ...true story... Their dad ran over a lunch box with one of these inside coming into the drive way and only dented the lid a small bit. Didn't affect closing divets or dividers. Still in use. :). The dividers seem like they are stamped from sheet metal then bent and sautered to the interior...this leaves tiny open spaces at the corners of dividers. Goo WILL leak. When I put cantaloupe or watermelon in lunch I just line with a cupcake liner and that seems to contain what moisture there is. Our lunch bots go into lunch boxes that allow them to lie flat so leaking out of the Lunchbot and into a lunch box is a non issue for us. If yours will be vertical think closely about what you send for lunch. (We use eBags crew cooler junior...another great item for us ). If food is ever left in the space after dish washing a quick push with a toothpick takes care of it, my kids have left these at school on a Friday and you can imagine the science experiment that comes home to me on a Monday afternoon....even THAT washes clean. I make lunch at 6 AM ... Even with a good hot cup of coffee making lunch can be rough ...the lunch bots help me along in that if there is an empty spot I know there needs to be more food. I can also see ALL the food I am packing at a glance so I don't end up with five fruits and no " meal" or three different kinds of crackers. These Are Not Thermal. Food will be room temp by lunchtime. Please note if you put hot food next to a cold food the stainless steel will transfer heat and " cook" whatever is next to it ...just let hot food come to room temp before packing If you are looking for something to toss in a tote bag instead of a lunch box...then I wouldn't pack anything other than non gooey sandwiches ...nuts...granola...apples...you get the idea. The edges are not completely sealed when closed ( like with Lock and Lock) and some foods could seep onto belongings when bounced around or turned on side. My kids have no issues opening or closing lids...all,though the nine year old refuses to use the Cinco as he thinks it looks like a "baby tray". When they hit middle school boys may need two of these especially if into athletics... But the good thing is they don't look juvenile so these boxes will transition to older grades. No need to toss into a yard sale with the Spongebob Funtainer :) all though the name Lunchbot is stamped on the lid which I suppose could be cause for snarky lunchroom comments when kids are older ;). Who knows ??? In summary ...assess your needs and check the size closely before ordering... If it fits your needs then I think you will be very happy with quality. My only issue is a twenty percent price increase in a year seems steep but as we are moving into second year with them ...price averages out in long run. This year we have a fifth child to pack lunch for so I will be ordering a sixth to ensure we always have enough on hand. No landfill. No plastic touching food...no need to hand wash !!!!!!!!! And once kids have moved on I suppose you could use them to store screws or buttons or whatever tiny things are in the junk drawer :) This is one of those love-hate items. Works for us so we LOVE it :) but it's not for everyone. It's just one of those things you need to overthink for a day before you commit.

Love it, got the green one because I was thinking about it for so long they ran out of the plain one with no plastic. That is the only bit I don’t like so I will be using it without the plastic, it can be taken and washed but I just didn’t like it.
