Yumbox

This thing is great for kids and adults. I pack our lunches in the AM and everything fits in one easy place that's easy to clean and reduces the amount of waster.

This is a game changer for my child’s lunch! We didn’t have this last year and so it was only cold lunches! This year, we’ve packed spaghetti, soup, and other warm foods. They stayed warm until lunchtime! I can’t believe it took us so long to find this product!

I almost never write online reviews, but Yumbox has earned one, because we bought a few lunchboxes when my oldest kid entered pre-K. That child is now in 6th grade, and we are using the exact same lunchboxes (supplemented by the few more we bought when our second started school). We are not at all easy on our lunchboxes - we pack lunch every day, often overstuff the compartments and strain the hinges, and never ever hand wash. Boxes have been thrown in bags, dropped on the floor a million times, accidentally forgotten in a backpack over the weekend, accidentally heat dried in the dishwasher... and they are STILL great. Exactly one box shell has broken in seven years... because it was stepped on. While Yumbox is certainly not the cheapest bento around, cost per use is pennies at most. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Easy to open, great quality, detailed craftsmanship.. love it!!!

I haven’t tried any bento boxes that are stainless steel besides this one, but I have tried a few plastic bentos from various companies such as Bentgo. I think Yumbox is way better for these reasons: the latch is easier for kids to open and close, there’s a better seal overall which doesn’t leak esp condiments like dressing or humus, and the container itself is stainless steel not plastic. I do like the option to purchase little silicone dividers if you want to make even more little compartments for food. I’ve done the switch and am very happy I did, YUMBOX for the win!!!

I’ve always had the plastic Yumbox bento boxes for my kids and they were great but I’ve been trying to avoid plastic so these stainless steel bento boxes are perfect! I find that sometimes the stainless bento boxes can be heavy, clunky and hard to manipulate but this box is light enough for my 3 year old and she’s able to open it herself. I also bought the silicone bento cups so I can make more compartments for small food items on the days I don’t make sandwiches. Everything feels well-made and built to last.

This is my third time purchasing! I totally love everything about them!

I bought these because my daughter wasn’t eating much in the school cafeteria. I wanted to make lunch as FUN as possible, and now she’s eating 90-100% of what I send every day! Tip from the blog we are enjoying: Grab some chalk markers to write/draw on the outside of the bento boxes!
