I am thoroughly enjoying the benefits of the new bentgo Lunch Box, and I'm excited to share my experience and insights regarding this upgraded version. Below is a breakdown of the notable improvements that set it apart from the previous model.
Having previously owned three of the previous version of the bentgo Lunch Box, I was already a satisfied user. However, the new version brings forth a range of features that enhance its functionality even further.
One of the standout additions to this version is the inclusion of an ice pack. This is a particularly welcome feature for school lunches, where refrigeration options are often limited. The ability to keep contents cool and fresh is a definite advantage.
The redesigned flap mechanism is another improvement that caught my attention. Unlike the previous model's 180-degree opening, the flap now opens only to 90 degrees. This seemingly small adjustment has a significant impact, as it reduces the space the lunch box occupies on the table. This thoughtful design enhances convenience during lunchtime.
Furthermore, the reduction in the number of compartments from five to four is a notable enhancement. This streamlined setup optimizes space usage and eliminates the need for a small round dip container, which though I previously used with the original bentgo box, I prefer the space advantage without it.
Lastly, the improved design becomes evident during the washing process. When cleaning the new lunch box in the dishwasher, I observed that significantly less water accumulates in the crevices compared to the prior version. This is a subtle yet valuable improvement.
In conclusion, my experience with the new bentgo Lunch Box has been overwhelmingly positive. The addition of an ice pack, the more compact flap opening, the streamlined four-compartment layout, and the improved drainage during washing collectively contribute to a highly functional and user-friendly lunch box. I am exceptionally pleased with these enhancements and would wholeheartedly recommend this lunch box to others seeking a versatile and efficient solution for meal storage.

Update:
We also use these in the play kitchen with pretend foods so my daughter can practice opening and closing it independently. It's challenging at first, but she's getting the hang of it. Also, the last photo shows some damage created by my dishwasher. Not a huge problem but enough to make me want to hand wash only. We've used these daily for 4 months and they've held up great.
