Bentgo MicroSteel Leak-Proof Lunch Box

Ver good quality..easy to handle..kids like this very much..

The lunchbox holds up well. It's durable, and the lid makes a reliable seal. It is a little difficult to remove the lid. With the release valve open, I still have to press it against my body to pry it open, but that's the trade-off of having an excellent seal. The paint does flake off over time with everyday use. Putting in the dishwasher would probably ruin the paint faster, so I always hand-wash it. I don't mind the paint too much; fortunately, it's only painted on the outside, and unpainted on the inside. The divider is a nice touch; it keeps dry items separated. Liquids can still mix between compartments, but it's not a big deal for me. It's a good quality, stainless steel, airtight lunchbox.

I never write reviews but here goes. I feel like Bentgo needs me to make their stuff better. Yes, it's leak proof, and yes, it is microwaveable. Microwaveable in that it doesn't explode the microwave when you put the metal container in. But I just heated up a can of soup in the container for 9 minutes in the microwave and it's still luke warm. And, as others have said, the top is very difficult to remove, and end up spilling food on yourself or the counter, or at the very least, on your hands. I've had similar frustrations with other Bentgo products. Feels like they have good ideas, but they must not have any actual user testing.

Verdict: Stylish, non-plastic, and microwave/oven-safe—great ideas on paper—but in daily use the single removable divider felt limiting, and the rose-gold finish started to come off in washing. We ultimately prefer Bentgo’s multi-container setups for flexibility. What we liked Not plastic: The MicroSteel build is a win for anyone trying to cut down on plastic. It feels sturdy and doesn’t hold odors. Microwave & oven safe (minus lid): Being able to reheat right in the container is genuinely useful for office or school lunches. Leak-resistant lid: With the lid seated correctly, we didn’t see liquid slosh in a backpack or tote. What fell short Color wear: After normal hand-washing and dishwashing, the rose-gold color/finish showed noticeable wear. If the look is a major draw, expect cosmetic aging sooner than you’d hope. Divider vs. true bento: The single interior spacer doesn’t replace multiple compartments. Compared with our multi-container Bentgo box, we had less freedom to separate wet/dry or keep flavors apart. Portioning flexibility: That lone divider only creates two zones, and it can shift. If you pack varied lunches (salad + protein + snack), you’ll likely miss dedicated compartments. Day-to-day experience Capacity is fine for a standard lunch, and reheating is straightforward—just remove the lid. Cleaning is easy, but to preserve the exterior you’ll want gentle hand-washing; even then, our finish still lightened over time. The gasket seals well, but avoid overfilling saucy dishes; as with most lunch boxes, perfect “leak-proof” depends on careful packing. Bottom line If your priorities are non-plastic construction and microwave/oven reheat, the MicroSteel checks key boxes. But if you rely on classic bento flexibility, the single divider is a downgrade from Bentgo’s multi-container options. For us, the finish wear and limited compartmentalization tip the scales toward Bentgo’s multi-container models instead.

Good lunchbox. Kiddo uses it everyday!

I have tried quite a couple of different bento lunch boxes and none have come close to what the BentGo MicroSteel Lunch Box offers! It's slim enough to pack into most insulated lunch boxes. The metal material is as thin as possible while providing great heat or cold transfer from whatever you are storing or heating with. It's super easy to clean with the removal divider. It allows for adjustment of the compartment spaces due to the moveable divider. It prevent leaking from one section to another due to the shape of the divider. And it does a great job of sealing out any moisture! If that is not enough, their customer support team is great. I have asked a question and on the next day they have provided me with great feedback. As a contractor who is mostly eating in his truck, I really appreciate the attention to detail and quality in keeping my food fresh and in the temperature I hope for. I recommend their portable utensils to complement the lunch box.

We got one of this for our kids school lunch. It looks nice and seems very good material. We had to return it though because it was very hard to open. I couldn’t even open it without spilling the content.

This is a great food container, it’s versatile because of its size, and the insert can be used to stabilize anything that might roll around during transport. The microwave-ability of this thing is great. Keep in mind it may get really hot, even after a short time reheating. The paint is very very delicate on this thing, and is prone to scratches, even against very soft objects. I’d recommend hand washing it to prevent excessive paint loss. Actually, I wish there was a paint free version of this.

It was true to size. Keeps heated meals hot for quite a while, which is what i got it for. Love it. Not the cheapest, but well worth the money as it does what i need it to do.

The black coating goes off in lesss than 1 month not worth the money

excellent product

My kids are using this lunch box for the last 2 weeks and found it very convenient. It has a nice adjustable divider that helps us to pack two different portions and adjust the size based on our needs instead of a fixed one, i wish they get a similar feature to their glass ones as well. We have been bentgo lovers with adults in the house using Glass salad containers and kids using this one. Bentgo is the Apple for lunch boxes truly well thought products.
