They may be inexpensive enough that your blood pressue won’t spike if/when your child loses one at school, but they are most certainly not ‘take and toss.’ You’ll know that the moment you hold one; they’re heavier, thicker, sturdier. We have had ours for a few weeks shy of a year now, and they still look/work like brand new. No stains, no etchy shadows, no warping at all (not the bodies, not the lids). I’ve never hand-washed them, they’ve been run through the dishwasher every time. The only downside you may not know about to question/gripe . . . the lids are NOT water-tight (it is mentioned right there, under product features, but in case it gets missed or skipped over). I wasn’t thrilled about that to begin with, but it’s not such a drawback in my mind anymore. I can use press-n-seal wrap over the whole thing or individual section(s) if I need to, and it also means that the lid isn’t so snug that my 4yo can’t open it. SO glad to see them available through Amazon now! With super-fast, free Prime shipping, I think we’ll add another set into our rotation for next year (when there will be 2 packing daily lunches!). 75 of 83 people found the following review helpful. 30 of 32 people found the following review helpful. There is only 1 thing that prevents me from giving 5 stars. Within a week after purchasing the set from easylunchboxes.com, each of the 4 lunchboxes became cracked or chipped, in which a small pieces broke off around the upper, outer edge (in different places on the different boxes). It doesn’t affect the performance of the lunchboxes and is not dangerous or sharp for the kiddos. But I was very disappointed because I expected these to hold up longer. I followed directions and washed on the top rack of the dishwasher. And I didn’t throw them around. I simply carried them in a backpack to work, so it wasn’t even the use/abuse by a rambunctious child or anything. Regardless of the cracks/chips to the outer edge, I continue to use these nearly every day, so definitely a great option, and I hope future improvements include more sturdiness. I also wish that the bag that is available to go with these would fit all 4 lunchboxes at one time. It only fits 3, so if we want to pack for my husband, myself, and our two sons, I have to use a different bag. |
