I routinely pack a bento lunch for my two kids every school day so when I received a voucher from Wayfair I decided to use it for the Zojirushi thermal bento set. It's very well-made, with parts that fit together well. My 7 year old was able to figure out which lids go with which bowls, and was able to open and close them all sufficiently well after we practiced at home. The bowls seemed to keep the contents relatively warm up through 5 hours at room temp, but I noticed the lower soup bowl was best at keeping hot. The container at the top lost heat fastest. I wished the soup bowl was larger, or that the rice container was leakproof so that I could put soup in that one. It's also a bit heavy for my second grader. It might be better suited for an older teen or adult in that sense. Otherwise, I thought it functioned as advertised, and was pleased with it."..." Read more
