Rating: - My Daughter Loves it
Amazon had it delivered overnight via Amazon Prime. My wife checked out the heat retention for the main container and it kept soup hot all day.
My daughter took lunch to school Monday in it and completely enjoyed her hot lunch. Since they don't stack above the heated container, the sides were cool. She's been happy since and that make Dad happy.
Rating: - Does the job
I got this to encourage myself to eat more veggies, so I aim to fill the side dishes with veggies although occasionally cookies or cheese find their way there. I'm Chinese so the insulated area often has rice and stir fry and I find the quantity to be quite good for me. Sometimes, I sub out one of the side dishes for an apple. I got this over one of the bigger, taller boxes because the profile fits in the bottom of my backpack better.
Pros--
Don't need to hunt down a microwave
Encourages more veggie eating

Rating: - Very well-designed product
This lunchbox set is very well designed; the thermal unit is not bulky or heavy at all, yet has great heat retention capacity. The additional (non-thermal) containers allow you to keep two other items in the lunchbox (bag, really), and the entire lunchbox is compact enough to fit into a small backpack. I noticed that one reviewer complained that the capacity of the thermal unit was too small to be useful; you can fill it with 16 ounces of soup or stew, and if you're used to eating more than that for lunch, well . . . .
Rating: - Bento "Jr." works great for my 11 year old
I bought this for my eleven year old daughter because we are frequently on the road with her sporting activities and I'm always looking for healthier - and cheaper - althernatives to fast food. It's a beautifully designed set with containers just the right size for her. Today we packed chili in one, macaroni & cheese in another and pineapple chunks in the third one. The chili stayed hot for four hours, even out in the cold car. It's pricey for a lunch box but it works.
