I purchased this item and finally got around to using it. First of all, it is a nicely designed, clever little device. Four small bowls fit snugly into the thermos shaped receptacle, which is similar in size to a small Thermos. The black case is very clever - has a handle for carrying from above, as well as one along the side to sling over your shoulder. When I first opened the bag, I was positive that the lunchbox would not fit through the opening. I was wrong! The bag zips open along the side, making removal a snap. The bowls are nicely sized to pack a more than adequate lunch.
I do have some criticisms. The soup bowl lid was not entirely leak-proof. It also didn't keep my soup entirely hot, but I think that this was because I removed all the other bowls from the case and there was too much space and therefore not enough preservation of heat. The spork provided is really cute but as a spoon it wasn't great. But I was perfectly happy slurping up my soup with chopsticks helping to shove food into my waiting mouth.
I still am pleased with it. It is a little pricey but I think worth it.

Look, I'll get on with it: I take the bus to work every day. I do not own a car, not since the incident. For the last six.3 months I have been plagued by a bus stop bully named Gerald, last name unknown. He torments me. Steals my lunches, throws my papers into oncoming traffic, pushes me around, takes my glasses and throws them into the tree overhanging the bench on which I sit. He does this despite my advanced age, and none of my fellow busmates come to my defense. I became sick and tired of working hard mopping floors all day long without a lunch. It's tiring business, janitorial services, and at my age I need to refuel constantly.
That's why I bought the steel-lined lunch jar, silver. It is the best, most secure container for my foodstuffs that I ever owned. Before heading to the bus stop I pack it with mayonnaise and pickles, my favorite lunch. I secure the lid before chaining the jar to my body, padlocked three times, once under each armpit and then a giant ten-pound padlock which rests on my chest. The first day I did this Gerald was not happy, the others looked at me like I was crazy; but I knew better. My lunch was secure.
And then Gerald grabbed from my hands the collection of papers I keep on my person in case of emergency. Stop, I yelled. Stop! Too late. He threw them onto the street where they were promptly run over by some oblivious motorist. To the laughter of Gerald I walked into the street to pick up my papers, now caked with dirt and asphalt. It was not enjoyable. But above all my lunch was secure, and I was guaranteed a delicious rejuvenating meal. If it were not for Zojirushi I don't know what I'd do.

I love this item. A LOT! I can fit healthy size lunches (or dinners) and it stays hot/warm. I noticed people talking about the smells their containers picked up. I'm happy to say mine is smell free thanks to a trick a friend taught me. Place cabbage into it and let it sit over night (especially if you had something extra stinky). The cabbage absorbs the odor and the nasty smell is gone. (Don't eat the cabbage after though, it might taste a little funky.)
If you are up for a unique approach to healthier eating, than this is for you. Traditional bento style meals are best. so if you prefer huge American sized portions, you might want to reconsider.

I commute 40 miles a day by bike, and with all that riding I'm supposed to consume 4,000+ calories just to break even. The Mr. Bento is the first container I've used that allows me to carry that much food without making a mess or taking up too much room in my pannier. Its insulation keeps hot food hot and cold food cold, but of course it can't do both at once, so it's best to carry everything cold and pop the should-be-hot food in the microwave upon arrival. The containers clean easily and do not absorb food smells or flavors. All around, it's a great product.

I found this item very useful and worked exactly as described. My only complaint is the soup bowl is small. In fact, it is the smallest of the containers. You can not put an entire can of soup if you want to eat just soup for lunch. The "rice" container is the largest and if you are trying to watch your carbs the food pyramid is set up backwards. You cannot put soup or liquids in any of the other containers as it will leak. The soup bowl has a screw on top whereas the other containers have plastic lids that either twist on or snap on. I wish the product review would have stated the soup container is the smallest as that was my primary purpose in buying the product.
