Meet the Ello Benni Kids Lunch Box- The ultimate lunchtime sidekick for your little explorer! 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. With its charm-compatible lid, your child can personalize their lunch box for added fun. Plus, cleanup is a breeze, the removable tray and rubber seals make it easy to clean, and everything is top-rack dishwasher safe. The removable tray is microwave-safe; however, do not use it for cooking or boiling. Avoid excessive reheating, as it may damage the container.

submitted byAlyvia - 1 month agoA: No. Closure broke in 1 week of usage
submitted byDaria A - 14 days agoA: My son is not able to get it open when we put hot food in it. I'm guessing it creates like a vacuum seal. So now i'm trying to find something else that will keep his food warm and fit in that space.

Q: How long does the thermo keep food warm?
submitted by JessiJess - 2 months ago
A: I see people fill it with hot water for like 5-10 min then empty it wipe it out and add the food
submitted byLane - 29 days agoA: Hello from Ello!. While our Benni is designed to keep food warm for a few hours, it’s not heavily insulated for long-term heat retention. It also includes a removable ice pack section to help keep items cool. The removable tray lets you separate and easily reheat hot foods.

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.

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

MayoMama21 - 6 days ago, Verified purchaser
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.

Top rack dishwasher safe!
4 out of 5 stars
rynaeb_4875 - 9 days ago
originally posted on influenster.com
[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.

Estrella - 13 days ago, Verified purchaser
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.
