On The Go Snack Set

My son had the LunchBots Small Protein Packer for his snacks at school. It’s great! But it’s also $20 for a tiny little container. I really liked the concept of that and went on the hunt for something more cost effective for myself to make pre packed grab and go snack/meals. I didn’t want plastic gussets or anything that was going to be difficult to clean or attract mold over time. I found this product as an alternative but I was a little weary based on reviews. It was almost half the price of the LunchBots so I decided to give it a go and ordered two. It came quickly and I was surprised at how much I absolutely LOVE this little stainless box! It’s bigger than the LunchBot and the lid definitely doesn’t snap on quite as tight but I’m not playing football with it… so for the quality and price, it is a steal in my eyes. If you are using this as a standalone, I would probably toss a rubber band around it just to be safe. I put nuts and fruit/veggies and maybe cheese or crackers and it has served me really well so far. It is NOT however, intended to hold soups or leaky items. I consider it more as a snack box and not a meal prep Tupperware. Overall, I am super pleased and ordered two more the same week.

These boxes seem to be cheaper than competitors and I bought an expensive one from another brand and one of these because my daughter wanted a large one and my son wanted a small one (middle school probs). This one is my favorite, more than the larger double price one! I think I’ll buy one for myself. Bought the two compartment and I cut the sandwich in half and put half on each side. I only put a sandwich and cheese stick in this and the seal isn’t lock tight but stays on fine. Plan to buy another for me!

The Bits Kits bento boxes are solidly made, do not rust, and stop the use of Ziploc bags and other single-use plastic garbage. I've used products from LunchBots for 16 years, but they have gotten very expensive. The Bits Kits Stainless Steel Bento Box Lunch ($11.69) was nearly half the price of the LunchBots ($18.89) for a similar product. The Bits Kits lids don't feel like they snap on as tightly as LunchBots, but they are fine for things like sandwiches, carrots, apple slices, chips, etc. The size is perfect for a sandwich with any bread type, they clean up easy with soap and water, and will last until my kids are out of school. Would definitely buy again.

Love the material and the fact that we can throw it in the dishwasher is great. The problem I have with this product is that the dividers do not have a full seal between each compartment. So if you have anything even remotely wet (like yogurt) it ends up going through the small spaces at the bottom and bleeding into the compartments next to it. These small spaces also are prone to getting tiny bits of food stuck in them. We do use it often, but I wouldn't buy this product again and instead look for one that has a full seal between compartments.

I bought 3 different styles of this brand and have been very happy with them. Great value, great quality. Years later and they still don't show signs of rust (i always dishwasher wash them), still close snuggly, compact enough to fit my kids school snacks in their lunchboxes. They are perfect!

Disappointed on pretty much every level. I'm willing to pay more for good stainless steel containers. But this one is less durable and also heavier than others I've had. Definitely overpriced for the quality. Lid got dented almost immediately (maybe arrived dented?), making it hard for my 7 year old to open and close it appropriately, and also causing lid to pop off easily in his lunchbox. Definitely NOT leakproof. That would be ok since there are plenty of things that don't need a leakproof container, but you can't even use this to hold both dry stuff (like crackers) and fresh stuff (like cucumbers, apple slices, etc.) -- the moisture from the veg/fruit will make the dry stuff soggy, and crumbs from crackers get onto the veg/fruits! You could use for 4 different dry things or 4 different fruit/veg, but it doesn't work to put some of each. I'm trying to think of a use for it so I don't just throw it out, waste my money, or add to the landfill. Maybe my kid could use if for sorting small lego pieces?

This has been perfect for my son's school lunch. I like the various size compartments and the lid is easy enough for him to remove. I love the chemical free stainless steel container.

Seems to be holding up well. Good size and easy to use.
