MONBENTO - Large Bento Box

I've had this bento box for over a year now. Overall, this bento box did exactly what I needed it to, including being cute and motivating me to make meals for myself for work. I came back to write this review because of how much I liked this bento box. Quick summary: * great size for two meals (or one) * never leaks * dishwasher/microwave safe * super cute. size/shape: Each of the two compartments can easily fit a meal. In fact it's usually not maxed out and I have more than enough food. It's nice sometimes when I just need 1 meal and it stacks, so I only need 1. So I can bring 2 meals to work or 1 meal and snacks (like fruit). A caveat is that this won't work for like, a salad or something that takes up a ton of space. For reference, i'm a 190lb human and lunch is often my biggest meal. Honestly the square shape is annoying to pack sometimes, but I also want to bring a lot of food so I don't believe there's a better solution here. On the other hand, it slides perfectly into a fridge. The "lid" doesn't actually do anything but look cute. I created a function though and I bought a camping spoon/fork (bc they're short) and they fit really well between the top compartment and the lid. leak-proof: It's never leaked. The compartments are sealed with the silicon lining and it's never come off unless I wanted it to. This does make it hard to open sometimes but I think the tradeoff is definitely worth it. Don't forget to open the air-vent when opening it (it releases the internal pressure and makes it easier to open). I've never put something as liquid as soup in it, but i've put in plenty of curry, salsa, and refried beans with no problems. strap: the strap holds everything together, which works, but it's not super secure. The silicon lining on each compartment is the thing making sure food doesn't come out. dishwasher/microwave: excellent. plastic will warp a tiny bit over time (think, years) and the compartments won't "click" into place anymore but it doesn't affect functionality.
