Five Compartment Stainless Steel Bento Box

I love these for school lunches! Sometimes the lids are hard to get off, but it keeps food separated and doesn’t make a mess! I wouldn’t use it for yogurt, but it’s very versatile!

My son had the LunchBots Small Protein Packer for his snacks at school. It’s great! But it’s also $20 for a tiny little container. I really liked the concept of that and went on the hunt for something more cost effective for myself to make pre packed grab and go snack/meals. I didn’t want plastic gussets or anything that was going to be difficult to clean or attract mold over time. I found this product as an alternative but I was a little weary based on reviews. It was almost half the price of the LunchBots so I decided to give it a go and ordered two. It came quickly and I was surprised at how much I absolutely LOVE this little stainless box! It’s bigger than the LunchBot and the lid definitely doesn’t snap on quite as tight but I’m not playing football with it… so for the quality and price, it is a steal in my eyes. If you are using this as a standalone, I would probably toss a rubber band around it just to be safe. I put nuts and fruit/veggies and maybe cheese or crackers and it has served me really well so far. It is NOT however, intended to hold soups or leaky items. I consider it more as a snack box and not a meal prep Tupperware. Overall, I am super pleased and ordered two more the same week.

The Bits Kits bento boxes are solidly made, do not rust, and stop the use of Ziploc bags and other single-use plastic garbage. I've used products from LunchBots for 16 years, but they have gotten very expensive. The Bits Kits Stainless Steel Bento Box Lunch ($11.69) was nearly half the price of the LunchBots ($18.89) for a similar product. The Bits Kits lids don't feel like they snap on as tightly as LunchBots, but they are fine for things like sandwiches, carrots, apple slices, chips, etc. The size is perfect for a sandwich with any bread type, they clean up easy with soap and water, and will last until my kids are out of school. Would definitely buy again.

I seriously love these. I bought these for my kiddos sandwiches, so I didn't waste so many plastic bags. They're easily cleanable and have a great seal for freshness. Perfect for fruit and yogurt, sandwiches, snacks, etc.

I got the set of three round tins. The listed exterior dimenstions of 1.25in tall and 2.25in in diameter are correct. It is worth knowing that the interior of the tins is 1in tall and 2in in diameter.I had to return mine due to a few product issues.1. The lip on one of the tins wasn't ground down properly so it took a very considerable force to close, definitely not something a child could open/close. I could have ground it down a bit further with a dremel tool and would have if not for the other issue.2. The silicon seals on all three containers had major color, texture, and surface irregularities. Modern seals such as this are generally pretty safe but the irregularities could indicate issues that make them slightly toxic. At the very least some of the discolored areas were almost brittle so they would have failed pretty quickly.

I have not used this product yet. I love the size. I want to point out the compartments or dividers are not installed at 90 degrees or straight lines, see picture. I purchased this for my child’s lunches. It had never been used and one of the dividers is already lifting off the bottom. I hope this is not a potential injury site for my child. It is obviously not leak proof. My young child is able to open this without assist and keeping it flat, so that is a plus.

These boxes seem to be cheaper than competitors and I bought an expensive one from another brand and one of these because my daughter wanted a large one and my son wanted a small one (middle school probs).This one is my favorite, more than the larger double price one! I think I’ll buy one for myself.Bought the two compartment and I cut the sandwich in half and put half on each side. I only put a sandwich and cheese stick in this and the seal isn’t lock tight but stays on fine.Plan to buy another for me!

I bought 3 different styles of this brand and have been very happy with them. Great value, great quality. Years later and they still don't show signs of rust (i always dishwasher wash them), still close snuggly, compact enough to fit my kids school snacks in their lunchboxes.They are perfect!

As advertised - nice.

The lids don’t work. They fall off, the rubber o ring doesn’t hold and falls out. The older ones worked perfectly but these are not the same. Ordered two because I liked the first set but these are not the same.

Je l'adore, mon bento préfère dans toute ma collection, j'en ai un peu plus qu'une dizaine, il ne coupe pas nul part, il ferme et ouvre super bien et facilement, il est de très grande qualité, j'ai acheté 2 modèles différent !

Update:It has been almost a year and hundreds of washes through the dishwasher. Unlike the other expensive lunchboxes I've bought for my kids over the year this one's still looking exactly as it did the day I bought it: no rust, no scratches or dents. The lid still fits as well as it did originally. The only negative I'll add having used it for many types of lunches is:1. doesn't fit the standard little sealed containers very well. I finally found a Japanese one that fits but the lid on most of those won't allow it to slide into the compartment and as a result the lid won't close2. The 2 larger compartments BARELY fit a half sandwich. If you get any kind of artisanal or other bread, chances are you'll have to cut your sandwich down to fit.3. Certain types of foods seem to react with the metal (like apple slices) and take on a weird metallic flavor. I was not expecting that!Overall, I'm still happy I bought this lunchbox!-------------------------------------------------I was almost put off by all the negative reviews but found a gently used one here and thought $19 was a small price to pay if it didn't work out. I'm happy to say that the product arrived looking brand new and shiny in the original packaging. It's extremely sturdy and the lid fits nice and snug but is still easy to remove. All the rivets and machined parts are finished very cleanly. You'll have to forgive the photos because I just finished eating my lunch. It packs a full sandwich plus 3 snacks no problem. I'd like to find a small leak proof container for liquids but I'm not paying $40 + for the steel ones I've seen online.What I really like is the modular design and the small footprint. It's also extremely sturdy. I can push down with all my weight on the lid and there is no flex. While I'm using it for my work lunch I'm sure it would be great for hiking and other activities where you'd want a sturdy food container. Overall, I'm really glad I went with my gut and bought this. If I see another "used" one for sale I will definitely be getting some more. I'm just not prepared to pay $80 or more for a new one!

The metal has been durable, rust-free and easy to clean (dishwasher or by hand).A good size for me and my kids but too small for my husbands appetite. My kids have been using the containers daily for weeks. The small round containers have a silicone insert to make them leak proof for dips. It took me a while to realize that the silicone inserts are removable for washing.
