LunchBots Medium Uno Stainless Steel Sandwich Container - Open Design for Wraps - Salads or a Small Meal - Eco-Friendly - Dishwasher Safe and BPA-Free - Blue Dots

This is the second lunch bots container I have owned. The first one I got as a gift from my parents when I was in college(over a decade ago), I still use it on a regular basis. I needed a second one the same size because my husband is working and needs to take lunch/snacks with him to work. This container is perfect for a sandwich or wrap, or to store small snack items. It fits perfectly in the bottom of my lunchbox to hold emergency snacks and I still can add more food on top. I love all the choices available from lunch bots and the quality of the products.

Slightly larger than a standard slice of bread, so it’s easy to place and remove a sandwich, and deep enough to accommodate any reasonable thickness of sandwich on sliced bread.Has proven very sturdy and cleans well in the dishwasher even with Nutella and peanut butter.A huge improvement over my kiddo’s old plastic sandwich box. I imagine it would be great for any meal prep, frankly, so long as you don’t plan to microwave in the container

Size is very small, cannot fit a sandwich or salad only for snacks. Its durable and good looking though.

In search of non-plastic reusable lunch options, I first tried Snack Taxi bags with velcro closures. Snack Taxis only hold so much, and my carrot sticks would be dried out by lunch time, not to mention the fact that if my sandwich wasn't guarded like Fort Knox (we're talking not even keeping it inside the lunch bag) it would be totally smooshed and flat and the bag lent it a funny taste. I decided to try these LunchBots. At first all they had were the ones with the colored lids, and although those are totally cute, they scream KID! to me. I wanted something inconspicuous. When I saw these I just had to get them. I take a lot of food to work every day; breakfast and lunch for a girl with a healthy appetite. I needed some good-sized containers that were lightweight and easy to wash. I am trying to avoid plastic as much as possible, and these paired with the airtight Pyrex 6021224 Storage 10-Piece Set, Clear with Blue Lids (BPA-free) seem to be a great option. Pyrex is heavy and you don't want a lunch bag full of it unless you're a pack mule, so using those for things like yogurt and applesauce and using these for the sandwich and crackers is a perfect combo. These are unbreakable, another plus.I purchased the Picnic Plus Savoy Insulated Lunch Tote, Green Paisley and the LunchBots Uno and Duo in the plain stainless steel. I was curious how much room would be left in the bag after putting in the two LunchBots. They fit together in the bottom of the picnic plus stacked on top of each other, with room on the side for a cup of yogurt and something else small. They also fit in the top part of the bag stacked on top of each other. So really, you could put four of these in the bag and still have room for a can of soda on the bottom. See pictures above.A sandwich made with a standard-sized loaf of bread fits in the Uno just fine, as does a croissant or a large bagel. There is room in Uno for a small salad or leftover lasagna, a generous portion. The Duo is the Uno cut in half, and is roomy enough for things like deviled eggs on one side and pickles on another. Or you could put crackers on one side and nuts or trail mix on the other. The point is that Duo holds two adult-sized side dishes or snacks just fine. You aren't going to go hungry, even if you eat a lot like I do. Or, for smaller appetites, you could potentially pack half a sandwich in one side of Duo and some pretzels or chips in the other. The possibilities are endless! One thing to keep in mind when packing two things in Duo, the flavors leaching and the moisture factor. If you pack crackers in one side and something moist, such as apple slices in the other, you may find yourself with soggy crackers come lunch time. Or, if you pack deviled eggs with pretzels you might have egg-flavored pretzels. Just a thought.The only thing I have found to be mildly annoying is that the lids for my Uno and Duo don't seem to be interchangeable, even though they look the same. This is where the colored lids might actually come in handy. I think the dimensions of these plain containers are slightly different than those of the Lunchbots with the colored lids. Maybe a sandwich wouldn't fit as well in the others? I think these are more square where the others are more rounded.Overall, these are great products that hold enough food for an adult to eat a decent-sized lunch. I don't think many people would need the space provided by the Eco, which is the larger size with the green lid, unless you want to pack a large salad or something. So if you are looking for something that's easy to clean, eco-friendly, non-plastic, lightweight, and good-sized, these containers will do the trick. Too bad they're so pricey or I'd buy some more!

Bought two of these, one or each of my kids, because they were having problems with their sandwiches getting squished in their lunchboxes from heavy books in their backpacks and such. Wrapped sandwiches with standard size bread fit perfectly, although there are a few types of more fluffy bread (or when you have lots of filling) where the sandwich is just slightly too tall so the lid doesn't fit as securely - in those cases I just put a loose rubber band around it to make sure it doesn't come apart in transit. This has solved our problem, and the stainless steel is super high quality and a breeze to clean. Love these, recommend!

I'm finally placing new orders for additional lunchbots since I need more. We're very happy with this stainless steel option. My first lunchbots order for these containers was in 2009 when my daughter started kindergarten and she's now in 12th grade, I have about a dozen of them in different sizes, used for my daughter and son. I can attest to the fact that these last, my older ones were, and still are, used daily for school lunches and lunch at home (during school vacations) since lunch is always leftovers from dinner. I also use them myself. My older lunchbots are in great shape, the lids still snap on and stay on, no rust, I always put them in the dishwasher but sometimes wash the lids by hand just because there's not enough room in the dishwasher for lids. They work well for dry foods and slightly moist foods like sliced tomatoes and pickles. If I put something really juicy in the lunchbots, I do wrap a plastic bag around it and use a couple of rubber bands since the kids' lunchboxes do not stay upright all day and there is sometimes leakage. Although the new lunchbots medium I got is more square and the previous ones more oval, the new model has the same feel, and looks to be the same construction, the lid snaps on tight like the old ones, so I believe the new ones can last just as long. When my daughter starts college next year, she'll still be using her old lunchbots, but we need more since the kids now eat breakfast in the car on the way to school (in lunchbots) and have school plus sports and need extra snacks/meals each day (in lunchbots). This is definitely worth the investment.

Very good product. We bought two sizes and we use it every day . Dishwasher safe and easy to clean .
