Bentgo - Stainless Steel Leak Proof Lunch Box - Gold

excellent product

The product is of good quality, easy to maintain, and best of all can be used in the microwave to heat food.

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.

Quality wise very good looking but hard to open

Disappointed that the Bentgo lunchboxes exterior coating colours did peel off, leaving a patchy stainless steel container.

I've used this container multiple times now, very successfully. Nothing leaks at all, and I love the metal and silicone. I'm looking at other products from this line to see if anything else appeals to me.

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.
