They don't pop open, the contents don't spill & they still look like the day I bought them (maybe 5+ years ago).

Questions

Can I pack yoghurt or dressing?

Not loose, as this box isn't leakproof. Pack wet food in an airtight dipper inside the box.

Is it dishwasher safe?

Yes.

Can it go in the microwave?

No. Stainless steel can't go in the microwave. Warm the food first, then pack it.

Will it dent if it's dropped?

A hard drop can leave a small dent, but it keeps working for years.

Good product if you want to avoid plastic and silicone leaching

This product ticks the boxes for me, stainless steel food safe containers that I can avoid plastics, and choose if I want to buy silicone sealed version. Great stuff

I have just bought my 3rd lunchbox as I have bought them for my family . They all love them and comment on how good they are . They can be used in so many ways , eg in the fridge or as a containers for the pantry . I am telling all of my friends about them .

Very good indeed!

Hi guys.
Last 3 weeks I bought 2 large and 2 medium sized containers.
They are great overall.
The only problem I had (which in reality might not be a problem but a choice) is that the big ones are a little too big for my needs and the mid sized ones a bit too small.
Cheers

Indestructible lunch box

I have gone through multiple lunch boxes, and somehow my 2 boys always manage to crack them. These look to be surviving the test.
We got a sandwich a cut up apple and a muesli bar.

That's wonderful to hear! We're delighted that our lunch box is standing up to the challenge and proving to be durable for your boys. It sounds like you've found the perfect fit for their meals. If you need anything else, feel free to reach out. Thank you for choosing our product!

Perfect size

This lunch box holds a lot of food! I take it with me to work full or empty - It's so easy to order lunch at the local cafe and they're happy to use the stainless steel instead of throw-away paper/plastic. Love it.

Quality product and service

Very happy with the Steel lunchbox. The quality of the product is great and buying from the website was easy.

I'd suggest to do more advertising as it was not easy to choose amongst other online shops and had never heard about you.

Solid but a bit small for my purposes

I bought this as I thought it would have room for sandwiches and the snack box. Turns out that you can either have 1 sandwich made from 2 slices of regular supermarket-sized bread, (slightly squeezed in to fit) or have the snack box inside the lunch box, but not both. That said, it's a lovely sturdy well-constructed box and does the job.

Good product but too expensive. More people need to buy your products to reduce their usage of plastic, but how can they at these prices?
