I received this bento box as a gift, and I like it so much, I'm inspired to do my first Amazon product review.I am not one of those people that has a collection of 50 bento boxes (yet), but I do have a few, and this box solves every design issue I've ever encountered.Awesomes: * Air-tight and Water-tight: The inner lids fit snugly and I haven't had leakage problems. Mind you, I'm not putting soup in here, but the lid stays on pretty well even when you don't have the elastic band on. That's awesome. The inner lid also keeps the bottom of the top box from touching the food in the bottom box, which I appreciate. * Microwaveable: It's only good for reheating food (500W max), but this is AMAZING. Other bento boxes are made of such cheap plastic, microwaving them is dangerous. It even has a vent so you can microwave with the lid on. * Dishwasher safe: I'm too lazy to do the dishes every day. I know this about myself. So I love that I can put this on the top rack. * Mix-and-matchable: I'm looking forward to buying more things from the company to trick out my new toy (like a silverware set that fits perfectly between the inner lid and upper lid). * Truth in volume: The lid only goes in a fraction of a millimeter, so you can pack food right up to the rim. No need to eyeball how much will fit just to find that you over-packed when it's time to close it all up.Surprises: * I was surprised by how big it was when I received the package. It takes up a little more space in my backpack than I anticipated, but now I think this is a reasonable (and necessary) tradeoff for its capacity.It's not as compact as some Japanese bento boxes, but frankly, I don't pack my food according to the Japanese rules, so this is probably best for me.Facts: * Each box holds 500ml, so the product as sold here is 1000ml total. According to the charts, I need a 650ml bento box, but I pack less rice and more veggies and fruit, so I appreciate very much that I can get more into this box than my others. * These boxes are more rectangular than the cheaper long-and-thin 500ml boxes I've come across, which means they're exactly as wide as the gluten-free bread I have to eat. Perfectly. It's so adorable, it almost makes that bread fun to eat.

I bought this lunchbox for a few reasons, one of which was the claim that it was hermetic, so I was under the impression that I could carry soup in it. The first day I got it, I tested it out by filling with water and shaking it all around, and it was nearly perfect. The first time I cleaned it, I put it in the top rack of my dishwasher (it also says it's dishwasher safe, another big reason I bought it). I used medium heat and air dried (no heat). But it must not be dishwasher safe after all, because since that first wash I haven't actually been able to keep any liquids in it. Seems to me like something warped in the dishwasher The seals don't seal completely, so liquids do leak out. I've been handwashing it ever since.So, two of the three big reasons I bought the thing in the first place turned out not to work out after all (the other big selling point for me was it is microwave safe, which I did once and it worked out fine). But I find it hard to totally hate it, because as far as lunchboxes go, it looks pretty slick/adult. If you plan to pack any dips or condiments, I suggest getting some Tupperware Smidgets (Tupperware Set of 4 Smidgets Assorted Colors) - the sections of this lunchbox are pretty short, and I couldn't find any other condiment containers that fit.

Take home message: Overall, I'm happy with this purchase.Background:I'm a grad student and I've been trying to save money and eat healthier by bringing lunch from home instead of eating out. I like bringing multiple things for lunch (a main dish, a salad, maybe a snack) and have a way to transport everything easily and simply rather than bring three separate tupperwares, so I bought this bento box as a lunch container (I'm also a little OCD). It fits in my messenger bag easily because it is narrow, long and tall, as opposed to short, square-based lunch containers that I would have to put sideways into my bag, increasing the potential for spillage. After a solid two months worth of use, I offer this review:Pros:The sliding divider and two-box system helps make packing several different food items easier.Since everything stacks, it's organized and fits nicely into a messenger bag, back pack, suitcase, bike basket etc.Promotes healthy eating habits by making packing lunch easier.Helps me save money by bringing lunch instead of eating out.Helps with portion control for those interested in this.Gotta admit, it looks pretty slick and makes me feel like an adult=)Cons:It ain't cheap. I had to really think about how much I'd save in the long run before purchasing this.The top lid can only accommodate low-profile silverware (like proprietary monbento cutlery, which is super pricey) but if you look hard enough, you can find a fork that fits.I tend to pack the containers to the brim and have to squish everything down to get the tops to fit- this is critical otherwise the vacuum seal wont hold and the tops will come off during transit.I've microwaved it with the top on and and vent open for <2min and the heat caused the sides to warp, flair out and unseal from the top; however, after cooling down it went back to it's original form and the vacuum seal still works well.Definitely don't microwave for very long and I wouldn't recommend dishwashing either.I'm a very hungry 5'8" 160lb guy and I think the capacity is just a bit small- I'm considering a third box; just something to keep in mind.
