BentgoKids Stainless Steel Leak Resistant Lunch Box
Product Details
Web ID: 5282693Durable but would be cautious about dishwasher use
Love the color of the box, it is exactly what my child wanted. The only hang up I have is that it states its dishwasher safe but the coloring is already bubbling and pealing off. I have only put it on the top rack and we’ve used it an handful of times. Otherwise the base is very durable and hopefully will last for a long time.

Metal Lunch Box
Great size, perfect for young kids lunches. We hand-wash them. Would be even better if it came with another small silicone box for the inside, but we found one that fits.

Fantastic Box, Hard to Find Teen Bag
We love the Bentgo Kids Stainless Steel Lunch Box and have used it for years. It’s durable, easy to clean, and holds up incredibly well. We’ve always paired it with the Bentgo Kids Prints Lunch Bag, which is the perfect size and shape for this box, the fit is spot on. The only issue is that our kids are now teenagers, and the playful prints are no longer teen-approved, especially for boys. We really wish Bentgo offered this same exact bag in sleek, single-color, teen-friendly designs. Finding another bag that fits this box as well has been surprisingly difficult. Great product — just hoping for more mature color options for the lunch bag!

Best lunchbox Ever!
I absolutely love this stainless steel Bentgo lunch box. It’s incredibly durable and feels very high quality — perfect for daily use. The stainless steel design is sturdy and doesn’t retain odors like plastic containers do. Best of all, it’s dishwasher safe, which makes cleanup effortless. The compartments are well designed and keep food separated without leaking. This is a great, long-lasting option for kids or adults, and I feel good using a safer, non-plastic lunch box. Highly recommend!

Difficult for children
Very large - do not fit in any lunch bag. Challenging to open for kids not very school friendly.

Issues to fix
Love the stainless and the silicon top. However, the lid clips and anchor points are somewhat bulky. They make it difficult to add into my child backpack. Also, there is not handle to carry outside of backpack. a simply stainless steel handle would make this product complete.

Do NOT Wash on Lower Dishwasher Rack !!
Beware - These are only dishwasher safe on the upper rack. If you wash them on the lower rack then the paint will peel off. If you stick a name tag on them, even with low adhesion magic tape and then pull it off again, the paint will come off too. These metal lunch boxes are way too expensive to have the paint peel off this easily. It's also sometimes difficult to close the lid with the flappy hinges especially for younger kids. There's a technique to it that they don't seem to grasp.

Dear Spuddy, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback on the Bentgo Kids Stainless Steel Lunch Box. We are very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with the paint peeling and the difficulty your younger children are having with the closure. We sincerely apologize that the paint has peeled from your lunch box. You are correct that the lunch box is designed to be top-rack dishwasher safe for convenience, and we understand your frustration that washing it on the lower rack caused damage. We also appreciate you bringing up the issue with name tags and the closure, as this is valuable feedback for our product team. For the best long-term care, and as mentioned on our website, the box is top-rack dishwasher safe and hand washing is recommended to preserve the leak-resistant seal and locking clips. If you would like to discuss this further or explore options, please contact our customer support team directly at support@bentgo.com or 657-275-3738. Thank you, Jessica Bentgo Customer Support
Color Peeling
Super disappointed. We love these lunch boxes, they’re exactly what I was looking for, but they are not cheap. On a low income, I had to save up to buy these for my 3 school-aged kids. Only half way into the school year and my daughter’s lunch box is already losing its color! I usually hand wash them, but since they said they were dishwasher safe I’ve put them in there twice and it destroyed it. They’re too expensive for this to happen. Or at least label them as hand wash only!
