Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Laptop Lunch Bento Set 2.0, Black And MagentaCustomer Review: Small, but acceptable Summary: 4 Stars
I have been trying to be more economical (and healthy) with my lunches, and since the Laptop Lunch set is popular amongst food people on the Internet, i ordered one. I've been using it for about a month now; here are my observations:
1. Take note of the dimensions of the container! They're listed in the product description, but you may not realise how small it really is until you see it in person. Don't plan on carrying around a whole apple, for example, or even a clementine (unless it's a very small one) -- it just won't fit. Neither will one of those 'Snack Pack' pudding cups. You can't even fit a sandwich on normal-sized bread in there, unless you take out both of the larger containers inside. (Some people cut hot-dog buns in half and use those as the bread.)
2. The fork and spoon are obviously not fancy silverware, but they're as good as you can find at any department store. They're almost full-sized (like maybe 5/6-sized), so if you're buying this as an adult you don't have to be concerned about them being too tiny.
3. The plastic used for the box and the containers are supposed to be lead-free, paraben-free, and so on. I'm not a material analyst or anything, so i don't know if that's true, but i do think the 'texture' of the plastic is kind of weird. It seems like it's very soft, so for example when i'm scraping my spoon on the side of the container to get that last bit of food, it feels like i'm scraping up plastic. The fact that there are already tons of scratches inside all of the containers seems to support this. I'm not sure if that's an issue, but it is somewhat disconcerting.
4. The box latches shut with one of those tab-in-the-slot deals, which isn't especially secure or reliable. It would have been nice if they had put a proper latch on like standard lunch boxes have. I suppose it's good enough though, as long as you're not being incredibly rough with it.
5. The little dip container is a good idea, but unless you only use tiny tiny amounts of dip/sauce it's pretty much worthless. It's far too small for even 'medium' dippers, let alone heavy ones like me. It might be OK for storing vinegar, or maybe like salt, but for peanut butter, salad dressing, marinara sauce, or anything else like that, you might as well forget about it.
Over-all i like it and will continue to use it. The main problem is the size, but it's primarily designed to be a children's product, so i suppose that's to be expected. If they produced a slightly larger 'adult-sized' version i think it would be nearly perfect.
