Mixed feelings . best in my review

I will try to put a very complete review and if my concerns go away I will update and raise the stars .I had been looking for a while for a set , a lunch sized all in one container plus a snack sized container to use that would fit our favorite lunch bag. That being said we were very happy to find this set. It seemed to have most of all our must haves and be a good leak proof set. We bought 2 sets about 2 weeks ago, so they did not have a lot of use yet, we always hand wash upon getting home, and dry completely on countertop before next use. We do have other bentos that we use so this is not used daily and we allow plenty of drying time to have no moldy experiences.Pros:1- looks super neat, fits the lunch bag we prefer to use. Lunch bag gets well organized .2- it is leak proof enough for us, I have packed yogurt and granola in the mini. Nothing more liquid than that yet. Lunch and fruits look good upon opening it at time to eat .3- versatile color .4- space for a name personalization sticker tag in the top or in the side lid and container, if you do not want it to mistaken with someone else’s things.5- smart divisions.6- see through window to see what it is inside without opening the unit.7- easy for us to open upon pulling the side snaps .8- snaps on all four sides .Now the CONS:1- It feels a bit fragile, the plastic has a flexibility to it, it says to always hand wash the lid, does not mention anything else about the care of the tray, it does mention the tray can be used in the microwave in one of the description pictures, we have not tried and I do not pretend . So you are left to guess it. So far we have packed cold lunches, hand washed , towel dry and leave it open in the counter to make sure it is fully dried before reusing or storing.2- the seal changes after a few uses, I am still in my return window, and still considering if we should return despite loving the looks and size of it. It is getting harder to open and close it. It mentions clearly that it is for adults and teens to open and close. Well, I am an adult and I see that the opening and closing function is being compromised . We have not used it daily yet, both my husband and I can see the unit getting harder and harder to close and open. If that continues, the unit may loose function soon. It has nothing to do with being able to press down when closing and release it when opening. It has to do with distortion and being very very hard to press it down to close and guess what. open it. I saw many other reviews mentioning the same issue but others did not say anything. I almost spilled the contents trying to get it opened yesterday so that experience prompted me to write this review.I feel like whoever packs lunches and is looking for a leak proof on the go container does expect it to last a decent amount of time, and function as described.I would insist that size and looks get 5 stars, but function is iffy.

Pros
  • The containers are compact and space-efficient, so they won't take up too much room in your bag or fridge
Cons
  • The dividers may be too flimsy for some customers' liking
