Rating: - Nice looking, great idea - but not much flexibility
I bought this after reading all the reviews and was prepared for the small size. Thought either I could use for work or for our 8 year old for school lunch.
I will likely be the only one able to use it, since the "hot" container (which is not insulated - the plastic inner container that sits loosely inside a metal outer container) is likely to spill if not held upright at all times. Hot rice stayed slightly warm after 3 1/2 hours. Good for rice or chirashi sushi - but definitely not for soup, any liquids or anything you want to remain hot.
Rating: - Yep it's teensy
In all fairness, they did put "mini" right in the name, but I was won over by the cute bag. I opened the box and laughed. it looks like a toy. Literally a perfect size for pre-schoolers. It is SO cute but wow, clearly not for an adult.
The bag is 8" long and 3.5 inches wide. the insulated container would be useful for oatmeal or soup, but the other two are teensy (like a child's playset teensy). I would have to get creative in order to use those. I am 5'4 and 112 lbs. I usually eat yogurt and granola for breakfast and soup or a grain dish for lunch. There is barely room for that here. ...

Rating: - Adorable, perfect-size, and insulated : what not to love?
First I would like to point out a few things about this adorable little set:
Its supposed to be small, that is why it is called "Mini Bento" it is the mini version of Zojirushi's lunch jars. Now, compared to many Japanese bento boxes its not really very small at all, you just pack densely. I am a female high school student and this leaves me full but not bloated every day.
Secondly, Only the main jar is supposed to be insulated, not the okazu/side dish containers. I tend to use these for salads, or desserts and just pack the meat/etc on top of the rice in the main jar (or under ... Read More
Rating: - Very Cute, But Not Worth the Price
I was very excited to finally receive my Zojirushi lunch box, but was disappointed when I opened the package. Perfect size for a person who eats normal servings, but doesn't fit the bill. I would keep the set for 10.00 - maybe even 20.00, but not for 40.00. The adorable bag is definitely not well insulated and the rice container looks as if it would keep your food warm for 15 min. max. You'd be better off going to Chinatown and finding something similar for 5.00.
Rating: - too tiny for me
This particular lunch tote is designed to carry "hot" rice and 2 sides at room temperature. No soup. That's the way they are designed.
This size is designed for a woman around 5'2" and weighs about 110 lbs.
That's why it's so tiny. (But it is soooo cute and adorable).
For all you gals who are bigger than that size, I recommend the regular Mr. Bento or the Nissan Thermos lunch tote. Both are larger in size.
The Nissan Thermos keeps all 4 containers hot, while the Mr. Bento only keeps hot rice and hot soup (or liquid) and the top 2 containers at room temperature ... Read More
