Question: What are the dimensions of the box?
Document: you just need a big lunch bag to hold the bento box. my son loves the different compartments. i will buy again for my youngest.
I recently have started making Bento style lunches for myself and my family. I found this lunch/Bento box at Wal-mart (it is much cheaper there). A lot of people don't like the amount of compartments to wash, but I find they are quite easy to rinse and throw to the drying rack, so it's not a problem to me.
And the price is excellent considering what you are typically charged, Two comments: a/ the little boxes aren't that tight so anything really liquid is likely to leak (I tape them up). If you want to take something liquid in: take another box. The main container can't hold liquid as it does not have its own lid (the lid is the bottom of the other tray).
I use this for my toddler's lunch. It is perfect because the little containers are a good portion size for her. When she gets a little older I'll be able to expand the box to hold a sandwich as well. The ice pack seems to keep it sufficiently cold until lunch. The ladies at daycare liked it so much they asked me where to buy one.
This product Cool Gear Ez-freeze collapsible bento box has too many parts to keep track of and the lids are not easy for little hands to open and close.Another product, the Sistema sandwich bento is much better designed.Sistema is only ONE PIECE, has a sandwich compartment with divider that keeps the sandwich separate.
This little box keeps my lunch cold until lunch time. It's also very easy to clean, no weird little ridges where food gets stuck like some other products that will remain nameless. My only gripe is that it doesn't fit very well in my lunch bag, but that's not a design flaw. I guess it's time to buy a new lunch bag.
Great concept, looks cool, but there is so much work involved with all these pieces to wash, open, etc. it's just not worth it. Plus each piece/compartment is really small! I have a 5 & 7 year old, and I can literally only fit in there 1/2 a sandwich in the one box, a few cucumbers or carrots in another, and maybe a super small dessert or a few chips.
The thing is, it's cheaper at Walmart, much cheaper ($8.97).It's also true that this has absolutely too many lids. The top of the freezer tray is sectioned, so that the vegetable containers sit within those sections. Each separate sectional vegetable container (which again, sits in the top of the freezer tray) has a lid. Why? Why not separate the freezer tray from the vegetable container seat and use one lid to cover the sectional portion of the box?
The containers stay cold, and there is still room for a smoothie in an insulated cup in the lunch box. The previous lunch box favorite was the one piece sistema which folds up to make a divided container and is all one piece, those compartments are not individually sealed so you can't exactly pack hummus or yogurt in there unless you enjoy it all over everything. I will probably purchase these here, even though they are more expensive because I can't guarantee the store having them on the floor.
I have three kids for whom I pack lunches daily. These containers are the right sizes for portions for them. Keeps yogurt cold for several hours, which my daughter loves. We put sandwiches in the bottom in a sandwich bag (the ice tray sweats on the bread if you dont use the bag) and put in a few other things too, to use the chill factor, like apple sauce or cheese. Then we slide the whole thing into an insulated lunch box. It works great!
Answer: It is 6 1/2 inches square and when expanded for use is almost 4 1/2 inches tall.
