Designed with both parents and kids in mind, this all-in-one bento box makes packing and enjoying lunches a breeze. Say “goodbye” to the chaos of mismatched containers and “hello” to one box that keeps hot and cold foods perfectly separated. Benni comes with a removable tray featuring 4 perfectly portioned compartments for all their favorite snacks and meals. The leak proof 7.5oz vacuum-insulated canister keeps soup, pasta, or mac & cheese warm for hours, while the included ice pack ensures fruits and veggies stay crisp and cool.

Plus, cleanup is a breeze, the removable tray and rubber seals make it easy to clean, and everything is top-rack dishwasher safe.

Perfect Lunch Box

There are other brands that offer the cold and warm storage for kids lunches but can get pricey. I love that Target offers this option and the charms also fit the gibbetz that you put on Crocs which is genius. The lunch box itself is very functional, it has 4 compartments, 3 of which can be for snacks and 1 for the thermos. My son loves having the option of eating a warm lunch.

Pros: thermal keeps things to temp by lunchtime. I do prep it with hot / cold water prior to filling. Perfect sized portions. Cons: the rest of the lunch box is NOT leakproof. I put fruit into the side container and it leaked into the other compartment as well as into the lunch bag.
Don't waste your money!

NOT leakproof. Any sort of fruit I pack on the cold side leaks all over chips and other snacks I put in different sections and makes them soggy. We used it twice and his lunch has been a mess every time. Not to mention it doesn’t close good, after two uses ours now will not latch at all.

Like that it comes all in one box with thermos. Its pretty heavy and hard to close / open the lid for K students without the help. Probbaly better for older kids.
Poor design

If your child accidentally cross-threads the thermos(which is super easy for little ones to do), you’ll have to toss it—because once that happens, the top is nearly impossible to remove from the top.
Its not worth it

The box itself is hard for me to open, and impossible for my kindergartener(without spilling stuff). It doesn’t keep stuff cold even with the ice pack. The individual compartments in the box often leak into other compartments. We haven’t even tried the thermos because my child also struggles opening it without spilling stuff. But I’ve read that it doesn’t keep food warm. Figures.
Disappointed

It’s cute, but thermos doesn’t keep anything hot or even warm by the time they go to lunch. Didn’t matter how long I let the boiling water sit to prep it.

It’s a good size but it doesn’t keep food warm at all. I’ve tried boiling water and letting it sit for 10 minutes but the food is still cold 4 hours later when my kid would need to eat.

Top rack dishwasher safe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Top rack dishwasher safe! Nothing else needs to be said! 🤣 Really though, this is a great, durable lunch box. My daughter has used it two days this week with us washing it in the dishwasher. The charms have stayed on and the hot box has kept her food warm. Nothing has leaked into the other compartments and my daughter loves the charms and colors. It is a little hard to get the lid part off to put the ice pack in, but kids do not need to do that part so it’s not a big deal. Over all, I would recommend this as a regular lunch box.

Finally used it for the first time and it leaks everywhere, within the compartments and out the lunchbox. I packed fruit and the juice was all over by the end of the day

This bento box is very cute but not functional for kids. It’s heavy, bulky, & the compartment sizes aren’t the best. The thermos is also not great. The first time I added hot water to warm it up I didn’t have issues but the second time the lid got stuck & I was unable to get it off even after it cooled off.

Prepped the thermos with hot water. Didn’t close it tight, but when I was ready to empty the water I couldn’t open it. My husband even tried and could open it and had no luck. Will probably need to throw away at this point. The rest of the box is ok.

Doesn’t keep food chilled even with the ice pack or insulated cup. Had to purchase an insulated lunch box on top of this product. My little used it 4 times before it broke. He is a little over 4ft tall and dropped his lunch box with the lunchbox inside of it. The Ello box broke inside of the lunch box. Warranty is a joke and said they will get back to me in the next 30 days but no high hope on this.
