Bentgo Stainless Insulated Food Container - 2.4 Cups (19 oz), Triple-Layer Insulation, Vacuum Seal, Leak-Proof, Built-In Handle, Wide Opening, Premium Stainless Steel, for Cool/Warm Foods (Aqua)

This is a great insulated food thermos for lunch. The size is generous which is sometimes great but I'd love a smaller option. The button to release the vacuum makes this much easier to open than the thermos brand jars my daughter had previously. We both really like the wide mouth/shape of this container that is more like a bowl since we primarily use it for pasta with meat sauce or rice with chicken and veggies. It does a good job of keeping the food hot until lunch time.

I love this thermos for the wide mouth and for holding hot food. I bought this for my kids (8 and 6 yo) to bring lunch to school. The kids one have are narrow, so it is hard to reach the food. I usually prepare their lunch at around 7am and they eat at around 11:30am - noon. They say that the food is still warm by lunch time.I have tested at home and even though the food is not hot, it is still warm.To be, one of the best features about this thermos is the button on top of the lid that you can press to release the pressure so its easier to open. My kids used to use one of those Omie lunch boxes, but they were never able to open the thermos and quite honestly it was hard even for me to open at night to clean it up.My 8 yo has been using it for a little over 2 years and it is still in very good condition.

I bought this to transport hot meals to work for lunch and it does a fantastic job. I was worried that it might be too small, but it's just the right size for me. It does keep my food warm. Some mentioned it leaking heat. It does leak some heat out of the top so I wouldn't put it near something you want to keep cold.It is hard for me to open. There is a handle on the top, but no handle anywhere on the body. So, it tends to twist together when you try to unscrew it. I've found along with pushing the release button that I have to hold the body between my legs to get the proper pressure to keep it from turning.There is a trick to getting it to screw closed correctly. I found that because my hot food is putting off steam, the lid doesn't always screw down correctly and would always pop out of the track.. What works is to screw the lid part way down, press the release button and then screw it down the rest of the way.

**Update**These are great for keeping items hot for mamy hours. I had ordered 1 and someone stole it. Lol. I ordered a replacement and had some issues with it. The company has sent a replacement and the new one seems to work as good as the first one I had. Great customer service and very happy with the item itself. Easy to clean and great quality.

Love the look and quantity it can hold.

Update: seller reached out. Seller reports that this thermos will only keep your food hot for a max of 4 hours. I personally did not see this any where in the listing. Furthermore, I tried the chicken noodle soup one more time and the second time was ice cold by lunch time. Based on the other reviews, it sounds like I may have received a faulty product but the listing also is not clear on product performance. It’s a very cute thermos and it holds a lot of food but unfortunately does not keep food warm very long like other thermos’ on the market. Will be returning.———————————————————-Does not keep food warm for very long. I have used this thermos for 2 meals since purchasing it. The first was some chicken noodle soup, which it keep a little warm for about 4 hours. This wasn’t great but it was acceptable. I packed some rice to eat with some fish the next day (preheated the thermos with boiling water like I did the day before) and my food was cold 4 hours later. This thermos advertises that it is double insulated and while I can’t feel it hot on the outside, perhaps it’s not keeping the cold out either.Either way, this is an expensive thermos that does not do the job. Would not recommend.

Update:After discovering that this container didn't keep food warm after the 3.5 hour mark, my daughter gave up on this container. She was particularly peeved that her lunch was just slightly warmer than room temp on a particularly cold day, even despite the container being in her backpack in her heated classrooms. We ended up returning it and she went back to her smaller narrow-topped Thermos food container, which kept her lunches piping hot.The Bentgo Stainless Insulated Food Container is everything my daughter wanted in a food container. It has a wide-mouth opening, holds the perfect amount of food (about 2 cups), is conveniently shaped and sized to fit in her backpack, and the lid is one piece instead of two and is apparently easy enough for her to open. While aesthetically everything she wanted it to be, the one thing she didn't love about it was how long it kept her food warm. Even after prepping the container with hot water and allowing it to sit for some time to "prime it", the container wasn't able to keep her meal hot by the time she ate it. Her food was warm, but not steaming, and while it was much better than eating lunch from a Pyrex meal prep container, it wasn't nearly as warm as food put in a Thermos food container. If you eat your meals within 2 hours, the meal will likely be very warm, but at the 5-hour mark, it will only be "kinda warm" - it was for her at least. When keeping things cool, the Bentgo container works great. Overall, while we'll keep this container because she loves the size and shape, we're still on the lookout for a wide-mouth container of this size that keeps food hot.

This does exactly what it says. My husband works in the field and does not have a way to heat his food. Before getting this, he was very limited on what he could take. Now, nothing is off limits and he can keep it warm until lunch time. Tip: make sure the food is hot while packing it
