(More customer reviews)As appetizing as eating a sandwich and chips for lunch can be, sometimes the leftovers from last night's dinner are even more scrumptious. I have used this food container for a few months. There are some advantages of this container, as compared to others; however, I've found that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
First, let's start with the advantages. It seems quite compact for the amount it can hold. One thing that I really like is that it has a removable, divided tray. If one wants to have two foods separated, the tray can be put in; however, if one wants to have a big bowl of soup or potpie, simply remove the tray. Another advantage is that it is microwave safe (without the lid on) and top rack dishwasher safe. Awesome. It does seem somewhat sturdy, as well, so it should be able to take a small beating. Or, in my experience, an accidental fall from the car onto concrete.
Now the disadvantages, of which there are only two. My first, and main, issue with this food container is that I have a terrible time trying to remove the lid at lunchtime. I will be the first to admit that I am nowhere close to the strongest man in the world, but when a coworker in the cube next to me asks why I'm making strange noises, it can be quite embarrassing. (That is, until he tries to take the lid off. Then it's funny.) It is very hard to grasp, so getting the stuck lid off is what gave this container a two star rating. The second issue that I have is that it does not keep the food hot for too long. Long commutes added to early starts to your days and normal lunch breaks (12 PM) makes eating the food after the 4 hour time limit difficult. This issue alone isn't too big of a deal, and would probably have resulted in a rating of four stars, as the container can be used for cold foods such as salads, pasta salads, or other cold foods. However, the stuck lid coupled with the cold food results in a two star rating.
Overall, if the stuck lid problem can be fixed and the food can be kept warm a little longer, this product would be awesome. If you have the strength of He-man or Wonder Woman, and you like food that can be eaten warm or cold for lunch, this container may be for you. Otherwise, you may want to compare this product with others before buying.
