Bentgo MicroSteel Leak-Proof Lunch Box

excellent product

The product is of good quality, easy to maintain, and best of all can be used in the microwave to heat food.

It was true to size. Keeps heated meals hot for quite a while, which is what i got it for. Love it. Not the cheapest, but well worth the money as it does what i need it to do.

Quality wise very good looking but hard to open

Disappointed that the Bentgo lunchboxes exterior coating colours did peel off, leaving a patchy stainless steel container.

Verdict: Stylish, non-plastic, and microwave/oven-safe—great ideas on paper—but in daily use the single removable divider felt limiting, and the rose-gold finish started to come off in washing. We ultimately prefer Bentgo’s multi-container setups for flexibility. What we liked Not plastic: The MicroSteel build is a win for anyone trying to cut down on plastic. It feels sturdy and doesn’t hold odors. Microwave & oven safe (minus lid): Being able to reheat right in the container is genuinely useful for office or school lunches. Leak-resistant lid: With the lid seated correctly, we didn’t see liquid slosh in a backpack or tote. What fell short Color wear: After normal hand-washing and dishwashing, the rose-gold color/finish showed noticeable wear. If the look is a major draw, expect cosmetic aging sooner than you’d hope. Divider vs. true bento: The single interior spacer doesn’t replace multiple compartments. Compared with our multi-container Bentgo box, we had less freedom to separate wet/dry or keep flavors apart. Portioning flexibility: That lone divider only creates two zones, and it can shift. If you pack varied lunches (salad + protein + snack), you’ll likely miss dedicated compartments. Day-to-day experience Capacity is fine for a standard lunch, and reheating is straightforward—just remove the lid. Cleaning is easy, but to preserve the exterior you’ll want gentle hand-washing; even then, our finish still lightened over time. The gasket seals well, but avoid overfilling saucy dishes; as with most lunch boxes, perfect “leak-proof” depends on careful packing. Bottom line If your priorities are non-plastic construction and microwave/oven reheat, the MicroSteel checks key boxes. But if you rely on classic bento flexibility, the single divider is a downgrade from Bentgo’s multi-container options. For us, the finish wear and limited compartmentalization tip the scales toward Bentgo’s multi-container models instead.

The Bentgo MicroSteel Leak-Proof Lunch Box (Gold) looks amazing and performs well for daily meals. It fits most portions and feels premium in hand. Build Quality & Design Made from stainless steel with a silicone-sealed lid, it’s microwave- and oven-safe (without lid). The removable divider makes it easy to separate foods. Finish is sleek and resistant to stains or odors even after several weeks of use. Real Performance Test Used for 3 weeks with rice, salads, and pasta. The airtight lid prevents leaks perfectly. However, it’s noticeably loud when using a metal spoon due to the steel interior. Keeps food warm for about 1.5–2 hours and reheats evenly. Pros Premium look and build quality Fully leak-proof and easy to clean Fits generous meal portions Durable and stain-resistant Reportedly great warranty support Cons Loud when using metal utensils Divider can shift slightly if not packed tightly Best For Office workers or students wanting a reusable, eco-friendly lunch box that looks refined and seals tightly. Not Ideal For People sensitive to noise or who prefer lighter plastic containers. Tips for Buyers Use silicone or wooden utensils to reduce noise and protect the finish.
