Review: Recommended - I wasn't expecting such a quality product: it works and keeps stuff warm, just as adertised. However you need to understand that it is advertised to hold a soup in the bottom container, and that is the key as to how it keeps the food warm. If you do not put an hot liquid there then yes the food stay that much warm. I made some tests, like, in the evening I cooked stuff and while it was still hot and stashed them in this bento. Then in the morning (9 hours later) it was still warm, but not hot anymore. Of course to keep as much warm as possible, I closed the bento, put it inside it's thermal bag and stuffed it into my backpack. I would still recommend to have a microwave at work to just reheat your food ya know. Still simpler. But, that bento works very well. Now about the size of that thing, it fits in my backpack with no issue. And I always carry it in it's own thermal bag. It's not too big, and not too small. For me it's okay. For ladies and their crappy handbags, nope it ain't gonna work. The top box is supposed to hold... a desert? I don't really care, I stuff food there as well. When I'm short on stuff, yeah I'll use it for a desert. Usually I chop a banana, put the pieces in the box, and dump/sprinkle some chocolate powder (for the breakfast) on top of them. I add a spoon of honey for good measure, and close that box. What's gonna happen during my transit to work, and until noon, is that the heat from the below boxes will heat that top box; melting the chocolate and honey and creating a nice blend with the banana pieces. I tried with halva instead of chocolate but... I wasn't as successfull :) The middle container is the main dish one. Kinda big enough, you still need to remember that the uhh "cap" stuff is kinda large. Like it has an one 1inch height that will go inside the box. So don't fill that box to the top, leave that inch clear. Not sure what to say about that box. The cap is secured by turning it so it won't open easely. The problem is, if you microwave that stuff the cap will be super hot as well: you will have trouble screwing the cap on the box so hot it'll be. That bottom box is bowl like. It's pretty small, but yeah the cap has a rubber band to prevent liquids to spill. I don't put soup in there, I just uhh put whatever else I got on hand. I try to put as much "wet" stuff there since it's made for that. A saw reviews mentionning spills. The bowl container, it's true, doesn't prevent the liquid to spill. The rubber will stop it from spilling a lot, but some drops could be found in the bento box' bottom when I tested with clear water. So be wary. Remember that I put that whole bento in my backpack, updside, and secured: stuff won't move much in there. And I take the transit, sit down, take down my backpack, lift it up, throw it around on my back. I had a few drops a liquid but not the whole content was outta that box. It's good enough for me. After using that bento for a couple of weeks at work, one of my coworkers bought one. It's a quality product, maybe a bit small as quantites you can store there but it does the job. Not sure what else to say. Uhhh yeah... it's easy to clean too? I don't know enjoy. :D
Review: ... for about 2 years now and it's still in good shape. First of all - I bought this for my husband for about 2 years now and it's still in good shape. First of all, my husband hates waiting in line to microwave food which it takes about 5 minutes since his work place have only 2 low watt microwave. Lunch break for him is 30 minutes, it takes him 3-4 minutes to walk to the lunch room, 5 minutes in line, 4-5 minutes to microwave his food leaving him about 10 minutes to eat quickly and walk back to his work station. He feels so rushed so during one summer, he ate only sandwich and salad. Pretty much doesn't fill him up since we're asian and needs rice. He got tired from eating those so I decided to do some research and came upon the zojirushi lunch jar. The reason upon choosing this brand is because I bought a rice cooker a year or two before buying this lunch jar and the quality of the brand is beyond expectation so I didn't hesitate to buy the lunch jar even though it's pricey. Although it's been about 2 years or so, the lunch jar still works as if you just bought it. I usually pack my husband lunch around noon and he doesn't eat until 8 which is 8 hours later and the foods are still hottish warm. However, I have not tried cold food so can't really review on it. The container are okay. For a big guy, the foods that I packed for him was able to fill him up until when he comes home. It's really easy to clean and the spork is high quality spork, not some cheap looking ones. The chopstick is plastic which my husband barely use anyways. The only thing that I would complain is that there's no slot for the spork which you'll have to put inside the bag and also the bottom container (the spill proof one), spills a bit which doesn't bothered me much but sometime it's just hard to twist it closed if you packed liquids in there otherwise it's hard to twist open at times when you need to clean it. Overall, I still love the lunch jar knowing that my husband can take his time to eat and doesn't need to heat up the foods. I was also able to fit 2 can of soda in the bag for him which saved more $$ since one can is 75cents each at work.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what are the dimensions of the 3 containers?**
A: From Zojirushi websiteModel No.	SL-GRE18Capacity	Main Bowl 20 oz. / Side Bowl 14 oz. / Soup Bowl 9 oz.Dimensions (W x D x H)	6 x 5-3/8 x 8-3/8 inches

**Q: Would it work well with soup everyday? I worry about it eventually spilling.**
A: The only, compartment that you could out in soup without spilling is the small container that has a twist lid. For me, it is too small, I don't think its meant for soups. onceI our soup in the largest compartment, which is intended for rice, and it spilled all over. So I think the answer to your question is NO. what I use for soup us the Thermos kiquid container. Its perfect for soup, won't spill and keeps your soup hot for several hours.

**Q: how long does it keep food hot or cold?**
A: I tried it for five hours with hot food. It was warm enough to eat for me. The bowl in the middle and bottom keeps hot food better, but the upper bowl is a little worse.

**Q: can a sandwich fit in these containers ?**
A: No...  You would have to cut it down to make it fit. You would be taking the crust off in a circle or you could just put the sandwich in the thermos and not us all the storage containers.  I did that the few times I wanted a sandwich. I do not eat a lot of sandwiches so it hasn't been an issue for me.
